    Well its been 2 days since I shredded so I feel your pain ebh1024 but I did do an awesome kickboxing aerobics class yesterday so I counted that as my shred for the day. Back to it tonight when I get home, no excuses. OH! today was my weigh in day and I lost 5.7 lbs since last Friday, so I'm feeling super pumped about that :happy:

    Was challenged to burn some extra calories....so I did my usual shred level one (my 5th day in a row) then to get my extra burn decided to see what level 2 was all about.....WOW. I hope I did get my extra burn in, cuz i really felt it for sure!!! I did a lot of looking at the tv and going you want me to what?!?!?!? And I thought the push ups were bad, YIKES! I am now very excited to stay on level 1 for the next 5 days preparing myself for level 2!

    Starting day 5 today I like to do level one and level 2 back to back for some reason I can't get a hang of the ab workout. My husband tried it today and it kicked his *kitten*!

    YEAH I did it today!!:drinker: It felt good to finally get "day 2" only 5 day's after "day 1" LOL!!! :laugh: I said yesterday I was going to do it and I did. So, I plan to do it tomorrow as well. I also did some Wii Fit Plus. It's been a good day.:happy:

    Gee I guess tomorrow is actually 'day 2" not "day 3" he he he!!!

    Good Morning Shredders,:flowerforyou:

    Well, this morning was my first weigh in since starting the Shred Jan 2nd.:ohwell:

    I am PUMPED!:drinker:

    I braced myself that I may not have lost any weight yet. :blushing:

    I slowly stepped on my scale:ohwell:

    Watched the digital numbers as my weight was being calculated:huh:

    Then I saw it: :smile:

    I stared at the scale for a moment before the number registered in my still sleepy head:yawn:

    The scale was telling me that I have dropped 3 lbs since January 2nd:bigsmile:

    Oh Jillian, in the moment you're a little devil:devil:

    but right now you're an angel:love:

    My treat this week will be an appointment with a hairdresser:bigsmile:

    A cut and color:wink:

    My treat:flowerforyou:

    Something to make me feel "pretty":blushing:

    Hope all my fellow Shredders have a great day today!:flowerforyou:

    Debbie:bigsmile:

    Just finished day 5, level 1 YAYYYY that's officially the LONGEST i've stuck to it without taking a break, can't wait to get to day 30 and see the results!!!

    I have been logging the Shred (Level 1) under General aerobics (20 minutes) about 140ish calories, does anyone else do this?

    I have been wondering how to list it too. Someone said to do it under circuit training 20 minutes so that gives me a lot more calories burned but now I am wondering if I am listing it too high. Anybody else have advice on how to list it?

    I have been putting it under circuit training for 25 minutes...it says i burn about 290 calories....which seems about right for my weight/height etc....

    I have seen a lot of people talking about getting the HRM(Heart Rate Monitor) that tells how many calories you are burning. I would suggest that if you want to make sure you are burning/logging the right amount.

    Hope this helps a little and congrats on sticking with it!!!

    Day 4 Level 1 FInished!!

    Log it as circuit training, you are using weights and combined movements! Aerobics are more movement and cardio, this is definitely circuit training. Jillian says it herself! xD

    I'm counting today as day 5; I did a work out yesterday that was a lot more Yoga because I was feeling very sore, but I still did all the strength and abs sections, kind of from memory. So, I did work out, but I won't count it as a day. Today is my weigh in day, I'm hoping for a 1lb loss, but I have taken other measurements too (waist, hips, arms, thighs) and I'm excited to see how those change in a week or so!

    30DS Level 1 Day 6. I am Proud of myself a bit. I managed to do 8 Full Out Pushups in Both Sets before going to my knees. The Anterior/Shoulder Raises weren't as horrible as ususal. I had to struggle a bit at the end. I did notice myself bringing my Knee forward a couple of times when side lunging to the right but I did fairly well the rest of the time. I really need to set some time aside to read through this entire message board. If I had a printer it would be easier. Keep up the Awesome Work Every Once!!!!

    I have been logging the Shred (Level 1) under General aerobics (20 minutes) about 140ish calories, does anyone else do this?

    I've been using my heart rate monitor to figure out my calorie burn. Sadly, I was cheap when buying my HRM... so I use this equation to help supplement:

    Using VO2max
    Men: C/min = (-59.3954 + (-36.3781 + 0.271 x age + 0.394 x weight + 0.404 x VO2max + 0.634 x HR))/4.184
    Women: C/min = (-59.3954 + (0.274 x age + 0.103 x weight + 0.380 x VO2max + 0.450 x HR)) / 4.184

    Without VO2max
    Men: C/min = (-55.0969 + 0.6309 x HR + 0.1988 x weight + 0.2017 x age) / 4.184
    Women: C/min = (-20.4022 + 0.4472 x HR - 0.1263 x weight + 0.074 x age) / 4.184
    weight is in kg

    Seems to be fairly accurate when used with other exercises. Normally, I'm around 300 calories. Then again... my heart rate goes CRAZY during the workout... :laugh:

    Day 7 done! Still with level one! Still don't feel a difference with my cardio endurance. Strength seems to be going much better though. Still taking breaks to make sure I don't push my lungs too much... but DID notice all the breaks I took today was because I was feeling out of breath instead of muscles yelling at me.

    Good Morning Shredders,:flowerforyou:

    Just finished L1, D8. Wow, I can't believe that I've been doing this steady for 8 days now. :bigsmile:

    I noticed yesterday and today that my strength is much better. Up until then while doing the 2nd set of anterior raises, I was slowing down a bit and Anita and Natalie were getting a side lunge ahead of me. But yesterday and today, I completely kept up. I'm feeling it, believe me. But, I am keeping up to the girls and this makes me very happy.:happy:

    I have also noticed that when I'm doing certain moves, especially the ones where you twist your torso, like the punches, bicycle and even the side lunges (because I'm shifting my weight), I can feel the muscles on the sides of my abdomen working.

    What a great feeling to know that I'm working out again.:love: I also feel like I have more energy now.

    Have a great day Shredding everyone!:drinker:

    Hi! I just heard about this website now. How is the 30day shred going? Is it worth a purchase?

    I'm still on track -- day 7 yesterday, scheduled to do day 8 tonight. I'm happy -- no, thrilled -- to report I've lost 5lbs since I started last week. I track it as circuit training too.

    I hope everyone here sticks with it!

    linzbclark - DEFINITELY worth the purchase!

    If you haven't tried it yet but need to loose some weight then I highly recommend buying the dvd.

    If you're familiar with Jillian Michael's then you already know that she delivers when it comes to getting in shape.

    Good luck with what ever choice you make as long as you simply get active.

    Day 5 Level 1 Finished!! Can't believe it's been 5 days since I started!! I have noticed that I can start going deeper in the exercises and my endurance is definitely so much better than when I began!! Still don't have the push-up thing completely down but I managed to do 3 without stopping!! That is a huge accomplishment for me!! When I finished the 3 I went back to the vertical push-ups to finish. Thanks to everyone for all your support!!

    Good Job to everyone!!
