Day 2 down! Those lunges and push ups just kill me every time! Feeling good though. Quite looking forward to tomorrows!0

God, am I the only one DYING here? (I´m known to be a bit dramatic but seriously if I don´t log on here tomorrow its because I have died from the pain!) Makes me question what the heck I was doing before this. I thought I was in okay shape, given I had a baby 9 months ago but I have been working out 4 times a week for months now...
This is so great though, I love that I´m this sore, don´t get me wrong
Kate1500, on day 6, are you sore?
Sorry if I´m rambling, I just think its so great to have you girls here to talk to about this I feel so motivated!0 -

I felt great after day 1, I woke up the following morning and I hurt all over! I battled on through day 2 and by the morning of day 3 I couldn't move! I really wanted to give up at that point, but Gillian wasn't going to get the better of me and I did day 3, some how. I woke up on day 4 and felt fantastic! The aches had vanished over night! And apart from the odd niggle I've been fine since. But those first few days were a real killer. Stick with it, it will get better.:flowerforyou:0 -
Good to know it won´t always be like this! I won´t give up, I want to look good for christmas0
-
I thought i was fine but now my calves are so sore, I can hardly walk! hehehe. I'm gonna work through it, tho!0
-
Just finished day 7. I don't know if it was because I had half an ear listening out to what my toddler was up to, or if it was because I've done it in the morning instead of my usual evening work out, but I found it hard to get into today. I feel less motivated. Gotta stick with it, gotta stick with it. Gotta stick wit it......0
-
oh wow - day 3 was SUPER HARD for me. My calves are very sore which makes all the cardio (cept for the boxing) tough and just in general, the whole routine was HARD. But I did it... I am heading off to berlin tomorrow to spend thanksgiving weekend with a friend there, and am planning on bringing the DVD with me and doing it at her house, hehehe.0
-
Day 3 done! Thought it was easier than yesterdays workout. Those push ups are so tough though, I almost can´t get up in the last set, hopefully I will get better at them0
-
It was tough last night but it was when i went for a walk at lunch that i could really feel it in my thighs which has to be a good thing as they are my biggest ('scuse the pun) problem. Looking forward to it tonight, might give the next level up a go just to see, probably go running back to level one after the first set!0
-
Haha yeah I watched it the other day and it wasn´t scary at all... I´ve read that level 2 is the hardest... But good luck if you decide to try it
Are you guys doing a lot of other stuff besides the shred?0 -
i just started today can i join you guys?0
-
Of course! Have you done the shred before? This is my first time doing it, all I can say it is quite brutal but I´m totally up for the challenge0
-
I do a few other things, nothing is really regularly other then going for a 30 minute walk during my lunch hour. I try and do something every day (with mixed success) either swim or a class like body combat or body balance or DVD at home. Nothing hard core and definitely not the gym, I start thinking of reason to leave as soon as I get there.0
-
Eugh, just finshed level two for the first time even doing the easier version of things it was crazy! Walking push ups! Did not see that coming. See how my body feels about it tomorrow.0
-
Completed day 5! Have really struggled with aching calves but today was definately better and I feel so much better! Still doing girly press ups though which given what Ive heard about level 2 is just useless! How can I get my weak upper body to deal with press ups in the next 5 days???0
-
Just completed day 4, and although it was HARD again (certain exercises that didn't used to be hard are now!) I felt a bit better than yesterday. I am hoping that I am coming "over" the hill and that tomorrow will be a bit easier. Also doing the girly pushups - I can do the regular one but I feel like my form suffers! Oh well - still a lot of time until scary level 2!
Which brings me to a question - I thought we were supposed to do 10 days of level 1, 10 days of level 2, 10 days of level 3. No?0 -
Good Luck guys!
I completed it once a few months ago! It's great..and get's easier as you go along! If you have sore muscles after a workout...try to keep on working out the day after (unless they are super sore) the workout will make you feel much better!
Avoid the knee circles in level 1! They can be quite dangerous as it is not a natural movement for the knee. Maybe replace them with neck circles or another exercise.0 -

I think you're just supposed to move on to the next level when you feel ready. Level one is tough and my muscles really ache but I'm not exhausted after it. I'm probably doing it wrong. :ohwell:0 -
I do the regular ones, but they are really hard!
Bzbear I think thats how its done, 10 days at each of the levels0 -
yeah i think the ideal time frame is 10 days on each level however if your not ready to move up the levels after just 10 days she does say "move on when you feel ready to" so you of course can take longer if necessary.
i do other exercises as well as, mostly cardio or walking - off for a 5 mile walk today when i drop the eldest to playschool (kindergarden i think its called in US).
I did day 2 this morning and my arms are totally killing me - those press ups are killers and i'm only doing the girly version too!! before starting this dvd i had never done press ups before in my life!
going to be sore tomorrow!
but the great thing is after a couple of weeks of rubbish Weigh ins (-1lb 2 weeks ago and +1lb last week) i finally shifted 3lbs at weigh in this morning!
nice to have people to talk to who are all doing the same thing0 -
day 8 done. Admittidly I didn't give the first cardio round my all, but I was tired after 20 mins on the strider earlier. So mycal count was about 50 less than yesterday.0
-
day 5 complete!!! felt much better today, wooooooo0
-
Well done on your 3lb Ley!0
-
thank you
day 3 done moving onto the hard versions tomorrow!0 -

Goluck with the harder moves x
Day 9 done, felt really strong and in good form this morning. What a great start to the day!0 -
I did it! I managed the full walking push ups and even the first set of full plank jacks! I really didn't think I could! I am completely made from jelly now.0
