    Day 3, level 1 complete. Man O' mighty, am I sore today. I almost talked myself out of it but I prevailed! Can't wait till the weather gets a bit nicer here so I can go on regular bike rides also. It's such a fun and relaxing way to get in a bit more exercise.

    Silly question- I am eating 1200 calories a day but have not been eating my excercise calories, is anyone else not eating the extra calories from workouts????? Thanks

    I eat my exercise calories :) Your body needs fuel to run, just make sure it's healthy food you're giving it!

    Does anyone else have knee issues?

    I had knee surgery 3 times, and for some reason, jumping jacks just really kill my knees. I won't sacrafice my knees in the name of Jillian (mainly because I won't go through that surgery again!), but is there anything else I can do that's a bit less impact? I can't jog for the same reason and the butt kicks and jumping jacks also hurt.


    Day 2 Level 1- DONE!

    The only thing I can think of is the squat with punches :) She says that is great for anyone with lower body injusries because it gets your heart rate up!

    Good idea! I tend to tune her out by the time I get to that part, so that's probably why I didn't realize that's what she said..haha.

    I also have a tough time doing 'female' push-ups because I can't kneel very well on that knee. Hopefully I'll soon be able to do a real push-up and not have to push through the pain of kneeling.

    Have you thought of doing Wall Push Ups? I mean, they are definately a lot less impact but they are beneficial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RtM3L00BUU

    As soon as I read your post in the back of my head something clicked. I have the 100situps program on my iphone and this is one of the "alternatives" they give for beginners. You might have to Pause Jillian and do a double round of these to get the full benefit she is looking for, but it is definately better then being on your knees :))

    I never thought about that! That would definitely help me build up enough stamina to be able to do 'real' pushups! Thanks for the idea!

    Hi Ladies, I just found your posts and would like to join your group. I started the 30 day Shred already....when I originally saw the post and have done it for the last 3 days. Level One seems easy...after reading all of your posts, I think I might do Level 2. I will take measurements and post them.

    For sure you can! You are exactly where the rest of us are:) Good luck....let's SHRED!

    Did day 2 :)
    Was easier than yesterday, by a long shot! I butt kicked my way to the oven to stir my tea :P
    Managed to fit it all in before it was ready though so it's all good!

    I actually started shredding on Sunday, is that ok? Only ahead by 1 day.

    Anyways, my starting measurements (and these are probably more than needs to be measured, but i'm doing it for my general knowledge lol) are as follows:

    hips: 52.5
    waist (natural): 50
    waist (smallest): 37
    thighs: 31.5
    arms: 17.5
    neck: 15

    I've got a little exercise journal I made to keep track of my exercises, measurements & such (as well as MFP) and I scheduled my next day to measure for March 7, so we'll see how it goes :)

    Stay strong everyone! You are going to get the results "that you want and that you deserve!!"




    *EDIT*
    Oh and yeh, I always track it under circuit training, general.

    Oooops, I somehow joined the wrong one...they are about done over there, so I am hoping to jump into this one. A couple days behind, but I did finish L1D1 and I must say....it's going to be an awesome 30 days!! I picked up my DVD today at Walmart along with her Shred Kit (yoga mat, weights and water bottle~on clearance : ) My legs still feel a little jello-like. Looking forward to doing it again tomorrow! I need to go take some measurements before I get too far into this. Good luck everyone!

    Wow you are all so much motivation. I decided to do Day 3 Level 1 and 2. I love having you guys have motivation. I am not sure I would be able to push through every time. Keep it up. Even though this is very general know you all our helping me get through.
