I saw everyone else was logging it as circuit training, so that's what I put

I do a manual log -- I figure out approx how many cals it burns, then name it "30 Day Shred"

How did Day 2 go for everyone????!!!!!

I'm visiting my grandparents today/tonight so I brought it with to do....
A. Their house thermostat is set at 75 degrees, AHHH soooo HOT!!
B. They watched me do it for their nightly entertainment. Oh well, at least I pushed myself hard so I would impress them

Did anyone post any before pics? I did on my profile! Eeek!!

I finally got around to do day 2 and I'm so glad that I did! I took a few breaks the first time I did it, but after working out all week, I was able to go through the whole dvd! It felt really good to see even just a little improvement and now I'm looking forward to doing it again!

I started a few days before NYE..so I'm on Day 6. Is it okay if I jump in as well? I need all the motivation I can get. I'm also keeping a 30 Day blog on my progress...but really mostly *****ing about how much pain I'm feeling...

please help me keep up with this 30 day boot camp!

Did Level 1 Day 1 last night. I'm feeling pretty good today but I'm dreading waking up tomorrow because I usually get the most sore 2 days after a workout, plus I started lifting weights in the mornings so we'll see how long i can keep that up before my body is in agony...

So pumped so many people are in for the challenge!!!! YAY!! :bigsmile: Good luck with Day 3 everyone!!!!!

I did day 1 last night finally lol. I guess I will be doing day 2 tonight since my husband is working late and I won't have a babysitter so I can go to zumba I HATE missing zumba, it's my favorite thing to do!

Did L1D2 last night and my calves were so tight! I have to wear heels to work and its killing me today. I did notice a little improvement in my endurance (although I might just me imagining it...) and I made it all the way throught the video using weights which seems small but its a feat for me since I have no arm strength. The last circuit is still killer for me though, my shoulders BURN! Good luck today everyone!

Wish you guys a TON of success with your 30 Day Shred. I wasn't able to start with you on the 2nd. I got a nasty cold around Christmas and I'm still fighting it. I'll be starting my round 2 of The Shred on Monday, Jan. 10th instead. I started a post on the message board so I can have some moral support, too. ;-) Good luck everyone!

Great job!!!!!!! The 1st circuit is the hardest for me -- I struggle SO hard with pushups!! After the first one the cardio seems like a rest haha

What is the hardest part for all of you on Level 1???

ducky0219

Situps are definitely hard, and the side lunges with the weights! It's getting a bit easier now... I finished day 4 this morning!

Last night my 7 year old and I did the first level together - she went on to complete all 3 levels!!! I couldn't believe it! I feel like such a wimp now:bigsmile:

Haha little kids have endless energy I swear!!!

I find the side lunge with arm raises to be the worst! And those stinkin' jump ropes! I'm totally loving the ab workouts - I love the feeling of my ab muscles burning

Completed Day 5 today and am finally noticing a difference in my endurance -- I didn't take nearly as many breaks. Yay!

Hope everyone is enjoying themselves! Keep up the hard work!

i'm on day six and I want to tell you stick with it. The first 2 days I was so sore I could barely walk then not quite as bad the third day. Now not sore at all and I haven't really done any physical activities in several years. I'm loving it. The side lunges and the jump rope still make me want to puke, but I'm getting thru it all the way. Keep up the good work!

Didn't shred last night but I did do a great kickboxing aerobics class at lunch so I counted that. Need to get back on top of it and shred tonight...NO EXCUSES!

Happy Day 7 Everybody!!!!!! -- Almost time for Level 2!!

The weekend is the hardest time for me to stick with my exercises so as soon as I log off here, I'm doing Jilly!

Did anybody else take before pics??

bluebeta

I didn't take before pics, but i did take before measurements. I'm on day 8 thinking of going ahead and taking pics now to see if there is any noticable difference at the end. Nervous about day 11, but today i felt great doing the shred
