Here is an update on Days 26-28 of the 30 Day Shred. I can’t believe it’s almost over but I’m honestly happy about it. I feel much stronger now AND as you’ll see below I have finally been able to accomplish some of the moves I wasn’t able to do throughout the workout video. YEA! I’m not expecting to see a big change in weight or inches because I’m just now getting back into the swing of portion control and stuff so we’ll see.
Day 26-
After doing the 30 Day Shred after spin/cycle class and being totally exhausted on Saturday, I chose to wake up early before spin class today and it was MUCH better. I’m glad I got up early, worked out and then had about an hour to breathe before spin class started. Total difference.

Day 27-
Today was a good workout. I was able to do some of the jumping lunges even though I have to take it easy due to knee issues but I was able to do it. How exciting! Still not able to do the rock star move in circuit 3 though and don’t think that will happen. That’s OK. I feel so much stronger today.

Day 28-
Ohh today was a great workout and I was a sweaty mess! You should have seen my exercise mat yikes ha ha! I did more of the jumping lunges and I was able to accomplish the butt kicks YES even while holding weights! Still can’t do the rock star jumps but that’s OK. Love the walking push ups sooo much and today I was able to do the non modified version of the plank rows with leg raises using 4 lb weights. AWESOME move! Sure it took me until almost the end of my 30 Day Shred workout video journey to do it but I’m pretty proud of myself. I can’t believe I only have TWO days left.

Have you thought about taking the challenge and doing the 30 Day Shred? Let’s chat!
Hope you’re having a great week,
I am thinking of doing it again starting August 1 (I could start today though, right?!)
I still can’t jump too high on the rock stars either, and I still do the girl push-ups – Level 3 is actually my favorite – I hated level 2 for some reason!

Hi,
I just started the 30 day shred. I am 43 years old and haven’t exercised in like 15 years! I am not overweight, but I am no muscle, all flab so my goal is to tone and regain my ab muscles. After day one, I was so sore I could barely go up and down stairs and ended up skipping two days. I just did the workout for the second time and it was a little easier so I will start doing it every day! Will see how I feel tomorrow!
Biz, I enjoyed level 2 the most. Isn’t that funny?
Thanks Lisa and Sahar. And Carla, you would rock the 30 Day Shred big time.
Heidi, way to go on starting the 30 Day Shred. I think you’ll be happy with the toning aspect of the workout. It gets easier with each passing day and if you need to modify moves, don’t hesitate to do so. Please be sure to let me know how it goes and keep us updated.
Hi there! I just started the 30-day Shred today, Level 1. I’m keeping track of my calories, but don’t own a HRM or Calorie Counter. I was wondering if you notice how many calories you burn on the 30-Day workout alone. I know it varies from person-to-person depending on build etc, but thought you might have a general idea since you are doing a great job of keeping track. Thanks!
Noob Mommy’s last blog post..The B Word
Way to go on starting the 30 Day Shred! I do use a heart rate monitor and you’re right the calories burned varies for everyone. I’m 230 lbs and I was burning anywhere from 180-250 calories each 30 Day Shred workout. Honestly my HRM settings were incorrect for most of the month so my calories burned were all over the place ha ha! I would say if you were to guesstimate (is that even a word? LOL) I would calculate somewhere in the 150-250 range.
Thanks for stopping by my blog Noob Mommy!
