    After taking yesterday off due to my lower back pain... Today I completed Level 1 Day 3.

    I actually did every single jumping jack today! I was way proud of that as before I was modifying them, but it seems my new nifty knee brace is helping with that. :happy: Still doing wall push ups rather than trying to do them on the ground. I just can't put that much pressure on my knee (and no way can I do the regular ones). I have a nice yoga mat but I think I am going to look for something with a bit more cusion so that I can get down and try them.

    On to day 4! :flowerforyou:

    Oh my gaa, I feel like Im totally sucking at this! Day one OK, Day 2 OK but sore, Day 3 I was exhausted and couldn't hardly finish any parts of it. Day 4 I took a break! I will be back at it in the morning hopefully feeling stronger!

    Have a good day 5!

    Did level 1 Day 4 this morning (I was going to take Th. and Sun. off) because my dd is having contractions and she wants me at the hospital with her. Still no sign of the baby, though, and she's resting in her bedroom right now. We'll just have to wait and see.

    Ok, I don't know if i am doing the crunches wrong, or what, but my neck is sore! I have never done crunches before, but I follow her instructions to a T. Maybe its cause my abs are so weak from 4 babies? and the push-ups are killer! but am slowly improving. I finished day 4 - WOOHOO!!! I am proud of me, and all of you that are sticking with this!

    Day 5 - here we come!!

    Ok so I had my softball game and forced myself at 10 pm. 30 minutes later L1D4. Is anyone elses upper back killing or is it just me. Also my monthly visitor just arrived after 4 months of waiting since I stopped the pill. Not to make excuses but a foresee a humongous challenge! Let's keep moving!

    L1D5 done. I took the day off yesterday, today was easier. Although I can't complete all the moves, my endurance is much improved since day 1.

    Your neck shouldn't be sore. Try keeping your eyes on the ceiling at all times. When I was first learning to do crunches I kept my arms crossed on my chest so I wouldn't be tempted to pull on my neck. Concentrate on using just your abs to pull your body upward.

    So, today is my day off as I am at the Birthing Center with my daughter and her partner. They are preparing to do an epidural soon. Just waiting for the anesthesiologist. (I may do a walking workout later as I have a lot of those on Realplayer. I know this is going to take some time yet!)

    * Ps: way to go pmjsmom for posting a link to 30-day shred in full online. My copy is burned from my sister and I burned all my TJ videos for her years ago and recently Chalene Extreme which I bought original still wrapped for $25 on Craigs List - woo!

    How do you like ChaLean Extreme? I'm dying to try it but the cost is not in my budget.

    Despite my distaste for Jillian and her boring 30-day shred and my love for Chalene I decided to start a 5:00 am workout regime (and I’ve only worked out at night to Turbo Jam for 4 years now).

    I’m pretty bummed at the moment (today is day 1) after logging to see it only burned 166 calories. I guess I’ll give it 30 days but that means I’ll definitely have to stick to a 1200 cal diet and no 2000cal maintenance/cheat Saturdays.
    Also, my HRM says it burns 247 and I don't do the cool-down. I'm sure I'm much bigger than you, but I can't believe you're not burning at least 10 calories a minute?

    My HRM says I burned 271 calories doing Shred level 1.

    Ladies I missed your start date. I did day 1 then did my brazilian butt lift sculpting and bum bum workouts the last few days. I will restart the Shred and try to keep up with you all.

    HRM says I burn 271, my hr 168 during the cardio parts, low of 137.
