![]() The rest of the workout became something I just had to grit my teeth and make it through, but when I finished I felt awesome. I still did the arm movements of the jumping jacks with Jillian and just alternated stepping one leg out to the side until I caught my breath enough to do a full jumping jack. I worked out in the past and I know that this is really typical in the beginning as your body gets used to your exercise. Even on day 1 I could muddle through them all. I was so pleased to discover my endurance increasing and then it happened.the third set of jumping jacks and I simply couldn't do them all. Day 3 - The first two sets of jumping jacks were so much easier today.I refrained from doing anymore exercise, however, because I know it's important to start off slowly to avoid injury and to keep from getting burnt out. When I finished the workout I felt energized and like I wanted to workout even more. I already noticed that I had a bit more stamina on the cardio exercises than I did yesterday. After they felt more flexible I did the 30 Day Shred Level 1. So, I put a heating pad on my calves and gave them a long, nice stretch at the same time. But I know if I don't exercise the next couple of days and wait for the soreness to go away that when I go back to my workouts I'll have to go through the sore period all over again. Day 2 - Ok, so my calves are still super, super tight. ![]() I'm left wondering how sore I will be tomorrow. Now my calves are feeling really, really tight from doing the jumping hacks and jump rope. I was shocked to discover 30 seconds of jumping jacks in the warm up! Jumping jacks may not be a big deal for you youngsters, but for me at 35 and after have 3 babies, the jumping jacks were grueling. You won't find any difficult choreography here, just hard core no nonsense exercises. What I like about the 30 day shred is that they moves are all very simple. Day 1 - I started out with the level 1 workout.My Daily 30 Day Shred Journal - Follow me along my 30 Day Shred I try to keep active and do other workouts on the days I take off of the 30 DS, but I only count the days I actually do the Jillian Michaels video in my 30 DS journey. In my review I only count the days I actually do the 30 Day Shred. That means in her 30 days of exercise she had only done the 30 DS video about 8 times. I even found one online 30 DS review in which she had only done the workout 2 days a week, but counted all her days off. If you search the internet for other 30 day shred results, most seem to even count their off days. I like to do pilates on my off days to help keep my muscles and ligaments flexible. It's important to take this break in order to give your muscles a chance to heal and repair. I will be taking 1 day off of the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred once per week. ![]() I'm mixing in a few other workouts, but will share exactly what I'm doing. This is the exact schedule I'm doing while on my 30 Day Shred. But, rarely do they tell you exactly what they did each and every day. They might even tell you how much weight they lost or how they toned up. So often when you read reviews of an exercise program, people will say whether they liked it or not. I want to sit all the time instead of be active (not fun for my 3 toddlers) I'm 15 to 20 pounds overweight, though on my small frame it looks more like an extra 30 pounds. I know for some of you, that may be your goal weight or even less than your goal weight and that's fine. Now our youngest baby is 18 months old and I weigh 146. I managed to lose 52 lbs before getting pregnant a third time (again at 10 months postpartum). After I had our him, I joined a gym and started working out. I weighed 192 when I delivered our second baby. ![]() I took the baby out for walks every day and managed to shed 50 lbs before getting pregnant with our second baby at just 10 months postpartum. I packed so much weight onto my tiny, petite 5'4" frame that I had difficulty walking. My pre-pregnancy weight was 124 and I wore a size 4, but the day I delivered our first baby I weighed 200 lbs.
