The program includes three complete 20-minute workouts which progress by level of intensity. Start with Level 1 and advance through Level 3 – in no time you’ll achieve a lean, shredded body.The promise of 20-minute programs appealed to me, because now that I walk our dog (almost) every morning, I really don’t have time for my Bob Harper Pure Burn Super Strength DVD (you can read my review of that DVD here).The basic idea of the 30 Day Shred program is to do Level 1 every day for 10 days, then do Level 2 every day for 10 days, and then do Level 3 every day for 10 days.

DAY 25 - QUICK TROUBLE ZONES & 30 DAY SHRED: LEVEL 2I was looking for a way to amp-up my fitness routine, and I have several fit friends who like this DVD.Rather, I have started the program with the hopes of maintaining the weight loss that I have achieved , maybe gaining a bit a of muscle/toning and to get myself healthier and in better shape (because I am quite out of shape!). And I am not necessarily beginning the program with a goal to lose weight. Here I will provide frequent updates as I make my way through the 30 days.I understand that miracles can’t happen in 30 days. This page will chart my progress through Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred !I came across this workout in the Exercise TV section of Comcast’s On-Demand workout videos, and liked it so much that I decided to order the DVD and a set of three pound hand weights. I didn’t want to give up my Saturday long runs, and I heeded my body’s need for a rest day on Sundays, so I ended up doing each level for 5 consecutive days, taking two days off, and then moving on to the next level.Despite the “20 minute” claim on the DVD, each level takes about 28 minutes, including the warm-up and cool-down (27:45 according to my DVD player).Each level moves through a series of “3-2-1” circuits, consisting of strength, cardio, and abs movements.First I will you about my “Pre-Shred” days, which are the days I began trying the workout On-Demand, and then “Day 1” of the “actual” program is the day that I received the DVD in the mail.Pre-Shred Day 1 – Tues 2/15/11 – Shred Level 1 – Evening workout, using water bottles as hand weights. Each workout is around 25-30 minutes, which includes a warm-up and cool-down. The idea is to progress through the increasingly challenging circuits as your fitness level improves.
![]() Worked on several weight machines with Jessica at her gym.Pre-Shred Day 6 and 7 – 2/20 & 2/21. Ordered the DVD on Amazon since it was running on out Comcast On-Demand soon.Pre-Shred Day 5 – Sat 2/19 – No shred. Too sore/no motivation on Friday night. How did aang die avatarWas only very mildly sore, mostly in my glutes! I was so surprised, I thought I would be in agony after using hand weights the first time. But…Day 2 – Wed 2/23 – Shred Level 1. Got my DVD and 3 lb hand weights delivered from Amazon! Was actually looking forward to working out, and it felt great during and after, but was dreading the soreness the next day. ![]() Today felt infinitely better than yesterday! The workout didn’t feel like a chore and I really felt “in it” today, pushing myself to adapt proper form per Jillian’s tips. After the shred, I rode my stationary bike for 30 minutes (6.25 miles, hovered between 12-13 mph, working in two minute intervals of low-resistance and medium-resistance), while watching The Future of Food on Instant Netflix.Day 6 – Sun 2/27 – Shred Level 1. But I did stick through the whole workout. It just wasn’t fun today, I couldn’t get into it and it felt like torture the whole time. I have a feeling Friday will be my off days.Day 5 – Sat 2/26 – Shred Level 1. Those glutes are getting a workout! Yowch! I also took my measurements today (arms, hips, etc.), which I may or may not post at the end and see if there is any difference.Day 4 – Fri 2/25 – Day off shredding. I was actually looking forward to the shred tonight. Doing well though!Day 7 – Mon 2/28 – Shred Level 1 done. Now I barely have any soreness in those areas, but it is now my calves that are sore (it is pretty mild). I’ve also noticed that the muscle groups that are getting sore seem to be a constantly evolving thing… The first few days (Pre-Shred) my quads were in agony!! For days 1-3 of shred, my glutes were pretty painful. In fact, I was feeling so great afterward, that I wanted to keep going, so I queued up a ten minute cardio workout on Comcast On-Demand (30 Day Jumpstart), and continued my workout. Today was the first time that I really noticed a bit of an improvement in my endurance during the cardio segments. Still at it! Though I did have to talk myself into shredding. Also did 20 minutes on the bike afterward, like yesterday.Day 9 – Wed 3/2 – Shred Level 1. Nothing too notable today, other than is it getting easier for sure! I’m really pushing myself to not slack off during the moves, mainly because I’m slightly afraid at what crazy-woman Jillian might have up her sleeves (er….bare and totally built arms.) in Level 2 in a couple days and I want to be READY. Otherwise, I am starting to feel much more confident that I’ll be ready to progress to level 2 in a few days! And by “more confident,” I mean “much less afraid,” but hey, that’s progress, amirite!? After the shred I also did 20 minutes on my stationary bike (around 4 miles), alternating between 2 minutes of low resistance and 4 minutes of medium resistance.Day 8 – Tues 3/1 – Shred Level 1. I think I am not strong enough to keep proper form and might be hurting my knees a little bit in that move. ![]() I’m unhappy to say that I was quite disappointed by Level 2. Next time I shred, I plan to try Level 2! I also did 15 minutes on on the stationary bike, for kicks.Day 12 – Sat 3/5– Shred Level 2. Spent many an hour studying biopsych notes on the bikes at the IM building !I basically have Level 1 memorized, so today I nearly muted Jillian, and instead was rocking out to this playlist, which highly improved the experience as well! FYI – I titled this playlist “SHRED, beyotch” in iTunes.Day 10 – Thur 3/3 – Shred Level 1. Jillian Michaels Shred Level 2 How To Do TheEnded the workout feeling extremely frustrated. Perhaps I need lighter weights for some of the moves (mine are 3 lbs.). Also, some of the moves were just WAYYYY too hard to physically attempt for someone like me (due to lack of sheer brute strength), yet the modified moves were way too easy to even remotely challenge me.” Some of the strength moves I just am not strong enough to do, and instead I end up hurting things like my ankle or lower back instead of giving the intended muscles a workout. However, in Level 2, I found myself staring, baffled, at the screen shouting “WHAT THE !?!?!” over and over because I could NOT figure out how to do the move. Yup, I did it! I’m starting to like Level 2 better.Day 15 – Tue 3/8 – Shred Level 2. But still wore my PJ pants.Day 14 – Mon 3/7 – Shred Level 2. I wore tennis shoes for the first time, which helped immensely with several of the moves performed in plank position in Level 2. Much better today, now that I knew what I was getting myself into! I was quite worn out by the end – which is a good thing. I also spent about 3 hours walking around Kohl’s and the mall which was not a bad workout! I am a power-shopper.Day 13 – Sun 3/6 – Shred Level 2. Princess games download for pcSince Day 13, I’ve started actually wearing tennis shoes, and starting on Day 14, I began wearing gym shorts instead of fleece PJ pants (was just getting way too sweaty), and so, after having gone to all the trouble to change into all that, I wanted to keep working out afterward, so after completing the Level 2 Shred, I found another Jillian workout On-Demand, and did about 20 minutes of the 6 Week Six-Pack workout (completed the first of two circuits, and the warm-up!). But I did it!Day 16 – Wed 3/9 – Shred Level 2. I’ve had a pretty bad headache most of the day and I just couldn’t push myself through some of the moves like I usually can. I wasn’t feeling it tonight. Confession: I stopped 4 minutes early. Plus I will be dancing at The Bang! tonight – hopefully lots of calorie burnage!Day 20 – Sun 3/13 – Shred Level 2.
