I made it through the 30 Day Shred

Disclosure: This post may contain referral/affiliate links.

I can’t believe it!  I made it through the entire Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred workout video.  It’s very exciting to know that I was able to challenge myself at something and complete it.  Days 29-30 were good but I was so ready for it to end only because I get bored easily and want to do something different now.

Day 29-

One day left and I had to really push it to get through.  I was able to accomplish more of the ab moves in the last circuit. YEA!  I really wish there were more moves with weights in Level 3.

July 29th

28 minutes
182  calories burned
Max Heart Rate: 88%/161
Average Heart Rate: 70%/129

Day 30-

FINAL DAY! Yippie!  I was really looking forward to the last day but I feel so much stronger overall.  Hubby figured out at the gym last night that my heart rate monitor settings were wrong so he fixed them and I really burned more calories than I posted about through this whole 30 Day Shred workout.

July 30th

28 minutes
235  calories burned
Max Heart Rate: 88%/161
Average Heart Rate: 73%/133

I want to put out a big apology because I thought I added my measurement results when I said I would and it was brought to my attention that I did not.  I am sorry about that.  Here are the final results.

Weight: 230 (gained 6 lbs)

Chest= 45 inches (no change)
Waist= 45 inches (-.5 inches)
Hips= 48 inches (-.5 inches)
Thighs= Left- 26 (-1.5 inches) Right- 25.5 (-2 inches)
Biceps= Left- 13 (-1 inch) Right- 13 (-1 inch)

Overall nothing to write home about but I feel much stronger now that I did the 30 Day Shred workout.

My full 30 Day Shred workout video review is on my main website.

I feel strong,

P.S. Have you been following my 30 Day Shred journey? What are your thoughts? Do you think you’ll try it out one day?

    CONGRATULATIONS! I’m 6 days behind you. Level 3 is “killing me” (but I’m always happy after I do it).

    I look forward to seeing your “results” and reading your full review. 🙂

    I just found your website a few weeks ago and have been eyeing the 30 day shred. …but Jillian’s intensity scares me a bit. Have been doing the all-body reps she recommends only about 2-3x per week and WOW can I feel it! May need to do it..the dvd is amazingly cheap on Amazon right now.

    Congrats on sticking to it…that’s a great accomplishment in itself!

    Thanks ladies! I appreciate it.

    How is it going Stephanie? I would always feel great after the fact too so I kept pushing through it but I am glad to be done.

    Becky, glad you came across my blog. The intensity is up there in the 30 Day Shred but I think you could do it. The modifications would be helpful if the advanced moves turned out to be too much.

    Brooke,
    I just replied to your other comment but wanted to let you know that I am so sorry. I thought I had posted the update and final review link but I didn’t. Duh I feel silly now. But it’s all up now.

    I think this workout would be great for you to help tone things up.

    I loved the 30 day shred. Yes it is hard but it produces results. I love the abs, as I really felt that I got fast results from there. I had trouble with the jumping as I found that I got major heel pain from it. I would recommend this to anyone.

    I was expecting bigger changes, since Jillian likes to advertise her skils so much, you would think she’s performing miracles lol. Interresting to hear feedback from a person who actually did the entire 30 day course.
