Getting in shape has become an ongoing struggle for me over the last several years.
I had finally joined a gym with my husband about 2 years ago. This was really hard for me to do since I was completely out of shape. In fact I found it difficult to walk on the treadmill. But I was determined, and it was long before the Elliptical and Stepper became my favorite friends.
This was also a neat time to spend with my husband and it wasn’t long before we saw real results. I lost almost 15 pounds and was seeing muscles I didn’t know existed.
I’m not sure how it happened exactly, but we just kind of stopped going regularly. And now I am almost back to where I started physically.
So I have heard amazing things about 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels
This is going to be my birthday present to myself.
I’m sure it isn’t going to be easy, but I am hoping it will give me the kick start I need to get back to the gym again.
I went ahead and redeemed some Swagbucks I’ve earned to get a $25 Amazon Gift Cetificate. If you aren’t already signed up for Swagbucks, I highly recommend it. You earn money every time you search for something on the internet.
You can sign up here for Swagbucks.
Then I took my gift certificate to Amazon to purchase The 30 Day Shred
It’s priced pretty low- $8.99, and you can get FREE shipping if you add something else to bring your total up to $25. But I just went ahead and paid for shipping.
You can purchase it from Amazon here
Altogether it was $11.97, and it is already on it’s way!
Are you up to the challenge?
I would love to have some others join me in this 30 challenge to get fit. I can definitely use the support and the accountability. Please let me know if you’ll be joining me in The 30 Shred Challenge.

i did this a few months ago and it is HARD. definetely a good workout. i didnt finish because i got lazy. i did it for about 2 weeks. i plan to start again soon though
good luck!
Good for you! Taking care of yourself is sooo important!
I'll join you! I've done about 6 days now. Unfortunately, those 6 days have been spread out over about 3 weeks tho. : ) You probably won't be able to move after the first day, but it gets better. I have seen a definite improvement in my push-up abilities. The good news is it's all basic moves and only lasts 20 minutes.
Cool, it’s good to know someone else is brave =)
I belong to a chat board who just raves about the shred.So far, I've been too scared to try it! I don't know if I'm ready to have my *ss kicked all over the place – kwim?
Hmmmm… I am going to have to check that one out. Thanks for the tips!
I love that video. I should probably use it more.
I'm scared to try the Shred. I've heard awesome things about it, but I've also heard that it makes people cry lol
totally need to get in on this
I just started working out at a gym with my husband. It takes a lot of dicipline. I have heard good things about this program though. Good Luck!
I need to order this! Looks great!
Oh WOW, I have been wanting this but thought it was MUCH more expensive!! SWEET!! I'm heading to Amazon!!!
How exciting can't wait to see how it goes for you! I'm doing the Wii Active 30 Day Challenge.
I hope this isnt already answered in the comments section…but what is it exactly? I would love to join anything to help stay focused…but is it a tape or what?
I would love a wii game to exercise by.
Next week is spring break so our fitness center will be PACKED..so I pretty much have given up on going next week.
Michelle,
Thanks for asking. It is a DVD workout. It’s 20 minutes a day for 30 days. It says you’ll lose up to 20 pounds.
I’m so excited that you want to join my in this, you can purchase the DVD through the link in the post above!
I'm going to try to do this with you, but I don't have the DVD yet. When did you start?
I am officially starting this on March 22 for my birthday present to myself, so you have plenty of time to order it.
I got my copy in about 5 days from when I ordered it.
I am going to try it, too. I am going to pull out my Richard Simmons workout gear and give it my best shot!
I did this about a month ago- for only a week though . It was definately a little challenging- but suprisingly- not as hard as some make it out to be! Jillian is amazing. She keeps the movements very simple and easy to do! I might join you in doing this! I get it free from Cox Cable On Demand!
That’s awesome that you are able to get it free. I hope you will join me!
