30 Day Shred

I loved this work out. Hated level 2, I loved how short it was and the mixture of exercises.The time flew by so quickly and I woke up aching all the time. I got good results but after the 30 days its like what next??? I'm thinking to try some of her other work out videos.

What about Ripped in 30? That's what I'm going to try... that and 6 week 6 pack. I like how fast they go!

Dont know if serious but if you are...
For everyone doing these programmes, please take before and after pics. I'd like to see the before (fat) and after (ripped/shredded) and then the same from belly ----> 6 pack. It will serve me great motivation and I'll sign up asap!

If you aren't achieving these then the programmes aren't working. That's what the programmes promise right?

I've cut out dairy, chocolate and crisps (all my bad snack-food) - the dairy is mostly because I've come to realise that I have always been lactose intolerant or developed secondary lactose intolerance since being on a "diet". I've also really tried to reduce carbs and increase protein and fruit/veg. My boyfriend thinks I might have gallbladder issues or a vitamin k deficiency since I can't seem to hold down fatty foods at the moment either :/

I don't know at the gym - this is something that I need help with! I usually go along, go on the treadmills, the cycles, machine-y things, do a couple of weights and sit ups then swim for a bit - but just kind of wander around a bit aimlessly. I really want to lose weight but also gain some muscle.

Any tips? Help?

Sounds like you're doing the right thing with regards to diet, but the not being able to hold down fatty foods thing sounds concerning. I'd go to the docs and get that checked out.

If you want to gain muscle you need to train your muscles - lift weights! Have a look in the barbelles thread or the FAQ thread, there are loads of routines floating around on here. You will need to learn how to squat, deadlift and do some kind of press (bench, overhead) properly, but once you can do those you can always get a good workout that builds muscle! If you train weights whilst being on a small calorie deficit you will lose fat without getting weak.
Do weights before any cardio so you can do them with proper form as you will be fresher.

I'm doing this

anyone got any before/after photos?

I've stuck to it Just finished day 9! Getting bored with the routine and (dare I say it) looking forward to more of a challenge with level 2.

I have to say though, I actually feel GOOD after the workouts now

wtflol 0.68kg weights

Yeah. I have 3lb, 5lb and 10lb ones.

3lbs (the smallest) is over 1kg?

I completed the 30 Day Shred half way through March. I had been eating less calories and I started going for a 20 minute run every morning, and I only lost 5lbs but my energy levels were increased, I didn't take any measurements but I went down a Jean size from a 10 to an 8 I really recomend it as its quick and fairly simple. I used it as a stepping stone for Insanity which I started on Monday.

Good Luck with it, i'm sure you'll love it
