"jumps on bandwagon"
just bought it off amazon!!!
im pumped for it haha
"Dream As if you'll live forever, Live as if you'll die today"
I started the dvd, but am concerned about doing strength training with weights every day w/o rest in between. Is it ok because they are light weights, or should I be giving my muscles a break to prevent injury? I have always been told that weight training should have 24 hr recovery periods between sessions. Anyone have any insight on this?



^^ i have always followed the 24hr rule...and 30 day shred is awesome!!!
maybe for the first few days of doing the dvd alternate with even lighter weights or canned goods even (i do this haha)...especially if you haven't been working out lately. if i have just light or minimal soreness i may not take a day off...listen to your body and dont push yourself too hard.
I just started yesterday. I weigh about 150 pounds and I am 5"7. I could not believe how good I felt the next day! My upper back and arms felt stronger. It really surprised me, and yes, I felt like I was going to vomit my first time because of how out of shape I am. I am sticking with this though, and I am going to do it everyday...so in 30 days I'll do the same as everyone else and post my progress. I hope this works!
I fell off the bandwagon hardcore! I am still at 129 but I need to start this back up. I think valentine's day would be a great day to start back up.




^^ i feel off for a week there and started back up yesterday.
kept the 5 lost off though ^_^
good luck!
I started today and I must say her telling me to keep going is what I needed. I hate those videos with the trainer with no personalities. I actually did a ful" 20 minute workout. I'm so excited about this, I noticed how much weight I had gained in my face. So, no more games for me.
I THINK ALL exercise videos work if you follow them, but hey, a 2hour trip to the gym and a little research on the web is always cheaper. All i can say is cardio, veggies,fish, grilled chicken breast, a little wieght lifting and more cardio. You gotta wanna do it!




Yes but not everyone has two hours to spare just to work out. This dvd covers it all in 20 minutes a day. Plus you only pay once for the dvd so financially it is cheaper and even easier than going to the gym. Most gyms require some kind of payment every time you go or a monthly plan. I have seen this dvd for as cheap as 8. It is just a better option for most women these days. In these rough economic times it is a beacon of light for those of us wanting to get in shape without paying monthly bills to do so.![]()




all i know is i tried this exercise for your glutes and i feel like someone put a fork up each cheek lmao literally... You lay on your stomach hanging off your bed, your hips are on the edge, you lift each leg up and down kind of like a mule kick but hanging off your bed. Three sets of 20 reps. I read that doing squats makes your butt look square not round, not sure if that's true, but we shall see if that booty workout does any good.







So far so good on this shred. I have made it almost a full week doing it everyday without stopping on level 1. It is pretty intense and I am not good with heat. So I warm up quicker than intended lol. But Since I started it I weighed 124 and I am now down to 118. I tried it once without her talking and just the music but it didn't keep me motivated. I just need her talking to keep pushing me along.
I slacked off for a couple weeks, but got back into it the other day with workout 3- wow! I'm feeling it!
Keep it up ladies!




Just ordered my copy from Amazon! I'm going to start on Ash Wednesday next week--most people give something up for Lent, but I like to take on a new, good hobby.
Ok, my update. I have been going hard for two weeks, my stomach is drasticqally reduced as well as my booty. Someone at my club asked me if I had butt injections and I just looked at them like they were crazy. My butt is sitting up a lot more. As far as endurance, running up the stairs is no longer a problem. I can't wait to go to level two.
It's awesome to see the results as they're happening to my fellow workout buddies! I finally got my tax return so I immediately hopped over to amazon to get a copy - 8 bucks plus shipping. online shopping is both a curse and a blessing for its convenience. =) Working out with a video has always been the most effective method for exercise for me, cuz it's harder to get bored. My goal is visible results and probly about 10 pounds. I'm right at 130 now, 5'5 and a little soft in the tummy since i quit working out a few months ago. I'm moving to Indiana in a month and I wanna look good enough for all the clubs there to beg me to dance for them lol. Anyway keep up the good work and the updates ladies! I'll let you know what i think when I start!




mine came in the mail yesterday! going to try it today! excited!
I auditioned at a club last night and they told me I need to tone up, so I'm officially jumping on the bandwagon: I ordered a copy off of amazon this morning. I'm afraid my arms, which are already cut/well defined and large, will bulk up, so I'm thinking maybe I won't use the weights. IDK, we'll see. So at the moment, I weigh 160.5 and I'm about a size 8 (I'm 5'4). My goal weight has always been 135, but I'm just worried about losing the gut, lifting the butt, shrinking the thighs (I've got runner's legs, which I'm also afraid will bulk up too).
I already do 60min cardio 3-4 times/week. I think I'll up the hour of cardio to daily. Hopefully that, along with a couple more diet changes and the 30-Day shred will get me into that club by next month.




I just did level one for the first time, using cans of soup! Man, even without real weights--that is a great workout!
I had the same concerns, about my arms and shoulders bulking up, and I was told that using no more than 5-10 lb. weights will actually tone down and "cut" your arms.... I've been doing this workout for about three weeks, 5x a week, and it may be one of the best investments I have ever made, especially for lifting and toning your butt!
I love level 3, even though it makes me wanna puke lol. All that jumping... do not do it right after you eat! lol
