I just saw this thread. I have been doing level 1 on and off for a couple of weeks. Its kinda hard to do it with the baby. The first time i did it, i couldnt even bend in rukoo for namaz Now i am not sore anymore but its still hard to get through the whole 20 mins. Like sadi said, i am not feelingit in the tummy either, maybe i need to do more ab work? i am pretty sure my form is correct there.

Ok so I felt it yesterday .... (I did it day before yesterday with 5 lb weights) .... I think my form is right... I'll try to get hubby to observe me once.... I even added wii fit free step exercise in addition to shred.... placed the wii board on an 8 inch step....

I want to see results fast....

Jillian Michaels works.... My clothes are fitting better and my legs... I'm noticing a change ...mashAllah mashAllah... and my shoulders as well..... yipppeeee.... or maybe the 10-20 minutes of free step on the wii fit board (on top of a 8inch step) is working...whatever it is ... its showing some results...

NJGAL ... we at gs love you.... pls keep me on the right track.... I need a personal trainer ...someone I am accountable to ....

Anyone wanna start jogging in addition to jillian michaels shred...

mithi_muskaan

So I assume this is a workout video?

Sadi Im so happy that its working 4 u, well done girl..keep us updated...I might start this too, but Im just thinking I dont want 2 buy it...might download off torrent then

Keep us updated and keep it up!!

She also tells you in the video that she targets to get you into a V frame very quickly.

so you might notice that your shoulders are popping out but a narrow waist makes you look more defined.

Again your thighs might get muscles but they are also shrinking - soon you'll be in a size smallers jeans!

way to go Sadi - keep it up - have you reach to level 2 yet?

njgal

yes because it's circuits and se combines strength and cardio. It's tough but it's 22 minutes a day.

Very doable for busy bees that don't have time on their hands to spend hours at the gym

Fatso

where can i burn the CD from?

automne77

Where does she say about the V frame... I have only been doing level 1...not yet completely comfortable in it... I just started doing modified push ups on the floor ... yyyyyyaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy.... and the modified squats and lunges have gotten doable so I need to push myself up another notch....

njgal... can I do level 1 back to back... I wanna see quicker results...have a party coming up....

Also how do we measure desi food... I am getting the exercise in on a daily basis (somewhat) but the diet part is all a lost cause... which is why my weight on the scale has not budged at all... Help me everywhere I go its desi food... lots of carbs (naans, basmati rice, salans )

TabuB

Hey girls, who dont have the video...I found this on you tube:


So you do level 1=10 days, level 2=10 days and level 3 for 10 days....i tink im gnna start 2nite too

hi to all those who r doin gillian 30 day shred. i saw it 4 the first time yesterday, i thought i can do it i run on treadmill n elliptical 5-6 hrs every week. today was my first day . i started the 30 day shred after 5 min i felt confident i cud do it ... after 16 min i just collapsed on my mat. i was doin the modified version i follow the blond anita. which i easier and level 1 ofcourse.right now my head is buzzing n my shoulders killin me.
DID ANY OF U FELT THIS WAY, I GUESS IM GOIN TO STAY AWAKE ALL NIGHT DREADING 2MOROWS WORKOUT. I FEEL LIKE A LOSER ALREADY. IT IS A KILLIN COMBO OF CARDIO, STRENGTH N CRUNCHES.
ANY MOTIVATIONAL STUFF FRM ANY ONE WHO S LOST FAT WITH 30 DAY SHRED???

coccoo

PLZ ANYONE .... ANY FAT LOSS WITH THE SHRED??

njgal

Sadi - you can do it back to back but don't over do it. It might be helpful to do some different exercises to get results. For instance - if you want more results - a bit more of cardio will help

So add 50 jumping jacks after the workout and since she is a bit stingy with abs - lets concentrate on your abs. You'll se better results than doing the same workout again.

DESI FOOD GUIDELINES

Before dawats - eat something from home - apple, a banana, a handful of almonds so you are not STRAVING when you get there

Before you start a meal - go to the drinks area and down a couple glasses of water.

SKIP the rice and naans - plow straight ahead to the kababs (any type chicken, bihari, daals, haleem, cholay)

Okay first helping - no rice and no naan - fill up your stomach and then if you craving the biyani - had a little bit on the 2nd helping.

I put a list of DESI DIET FOODS somewhere but I can't find it.

First day the hardest COCO - I had the same expereince. If you can't do all of it - take a 30 sec break and get back up on the mat

You can do it. We are all in the same boat.
