Hi everyone!

I did my workout this morning (Level 1 day 4). I'm glad when I can get it in before I get to work. I burned 177 calories, average heart rate was 139. I have to say I almost thought of not doing it. What keeps me going? I want to report something done to the group. So there, you guys are my motivation to keep going. Seen you guys just go along and not give up makes me want to do the same.

I haven't checked my weight yet. I weigh in on Mondays. I also just ordered a new scale so I'm waiting for that to get in so I can have better weight readings. The scale I have is crazy, jumps up and down…very inconsistent. I'm trying to focus on building muscles and looking slimmer instead of the number on the scale. I care about the weight but I also want to see the changes in my body. So far I notice my ankles look smaller. My legs always shape up pretty quickly when I start working out.

I don't do the shred more than once a day.

Ssampley, I'm also combining the shred with C25K. I'm on Week 3. I must say I noticed that I feel stronger during my runs since I started shredding.

For muscle soreness, my fiancee helped me massage and stretch. That helped it a lot and I was able to workout the next day.

Sdgirl, Waltrip-- welcome to Shredding!

yea!!! I just finished week two this morning, I have only been doing it the 3 times a week and I have been walking the other days with my husband (he has a really bad knee and cant run often) but I have noticed a difference to..I thought this morning was probably easier than before..I like the combo together!

I am starting this this tonight.. I looked and researched the calorie burn..and although it really does depend on how much you "give" during the work out.. I know I will give it 100% -why waste your time otherwise is my thinking, plus I am only really cheating myself. So after an afternoon of research. I chose 180 calories for the 20 minute work out.. there is a thread somewhere where a gal broke it down by the minute..

So I am on board.. Good luck to all..!

I need some help. I had to take a break already. It isn't because it is too hard or my muscles are sore, which is it and they are. lol! It is because it is killing my ankle. I severely sprained it a few years ago and it never healed correctly. All the jumping around on it has made it hurt to almost the point of what it felt like when I sprained it. I want to do the video but need to do something else for the cardio parts. I know it wouldn't be as intense but does anyone think that just walking in place for the cardio part would be okay for right now? Or any ideas of what I could do instead. I'm still a good 50+ pounds overweight so I'm hoping that when I lose some more I will be able to start putting her cardio in but right now I physically can't do it.

Hi there Shallo

I'm also having problems with my lower limbs although my problem is my knees, i have been substituting some of the jumping jacks and the skipping with the squat punches when i feel it is too much for me. i have also purchased a sports specific knee support today which i'm hoping will help to support my knee and help it to get stronger.

Just do what you can and keep going, I have a significant amount of weight to lose (about 55lb) and i am determined not to give up I'm now doing my day 8 of level one and going to attempt level 2 tonight as I'm feeling brave!!!!!

OK! I just finish and I am still on level 1 but day 5 (skipped thurs because of 14year old but made up fri by doing it in the morning and at night) I have noticed I am doing alot better at keeping up and some of the harder excersises that I couldnt do for the whole time with out taking a break or just doing a few, I am able to almost do the whole thing. (I figure once I can do the whole workout with out a break then I can move on) I will measure next week. I can feel a difference not sure if I have lost anything but I feel better and the soreness is ALOT better! I am still also doing the c25k and walking during the week I think they are a nice pair together! So glad some of you are just starting because of us already doing!! Thats great! I am also glad to see those ahead of me!! Keep posting girls!!!

Thank you, I may just do the punches for now. I don't have the money to buy a brace just yet. I had to stop for a couple days because it hurt to just stand on it. I will be going back to it tonight. I don't know if I should count this as day 3 or start over. I'll probably start over.

Day 1 completed!!! Wow... you ladies weren't kidding about it kicking your butt the first few times. I haven't been exercising regularly (or at all) and wanted to change that so with the motivation I get from you, I committed to this 30 day challenge. This DVD is definitely doable thanks to the three 6-minute circuits... that's not to say it's easy. I KNOW I had a reeeally good work out and yes, I had to push myself but I DID IT!! And I'm going to do it again tomorrow... sore muscles and all! :bigsmile:

For Shallo - I also have a bad ankle and am roughly 80 lbs overweight. Obviously, I am not a doctor but this is my attitude and 'modifications'. I did my absolute best and really pushed myself... Did I do the DVD to specification? No. Why? Because I can't yet. Is it good enough? Of course because that's what my body is physically capable of doing at this time and it kept my heart rate up for the cardio benefits. My belief is that the rewards will be the same as someone who is able to do it to perfection, as we are both pushing ourselves to our individual limit(s). My modifications were these: Jumping Jacks - I did the first two sets then modified the remainder by stepping together and apart with my feet - shoulder width - in time with the jumping jacks while still pumping my arms. Skipping - I simply jumped (or stepped) one foot at a time instead of using both while twirling the rope with my hands/arms. WEIGHTS: I used the weights for EACH exercise until my muscles were fatigue (i.e.: my arms were going to fall off), then did the remainder of that exercise without the weights. I will, of course, continue to push myself and incorporate the unmodified version of the exercises as soon as I'm able to. I'm a newbie to the site and look for these types of tips myself so I thought I would share... or ramble. This is just what I did - hope it helps.

Lastly, I took my measurements and a few photos this morning before I started the challenge. I am very excited to see what my body is going to look like after the 30 days!! I'm hoping the results will motivate me enough to continue with another 30 days. Keeping my eye on the prize!!

Just joining this thread, but I've been doing the Shred since Valentines Day. I was really sore the first few days, but then I loved it. I can't fit it in everyday, so it took me exactly two weeks to get the first ten sessions of level one in. When I started level two, I thought - No Way! Now I'm on day three of level two and I like it pretty well. I'm also trying to do C25K, but I'm not consistent enough with it. I don't like to run after dark and my work schedule doesn't leave much daylight time to do it before or after work, so I pretty much only do it on the weekends. Today after doing C25K, I tried to do level 2 of the Shred and I made it about halfway through the cardio part of the first circuit and my body was saying "You are overdoing it," so I had the good sense to stop. I believe in pushing myself, but I've also learned to listen to my body:-) The good news - today I bought three new pairs of pants and a new belt. Yay me, lol. Thanks MFP and Jillian!

Level 1, Day 2 complete!!

Everything that was posted by those who have gone before me is true.. my poor muscle are in agony!! :happy:

I've been working out for about 45-60 minutes 5 days a week prior to starting shred, so 20 minutes doesn't seem like much (although I'm working much harder doing this!!!). I was wondering who else is supplementing this workout with extra time at the gym? I think I'm going to add 20 minutes of moderate cardio daily. Also, how many are doing this daily? I'm planning on doing 9 days, then 1 day off, of each level, and that will be my 30 days.

Day 4 completed earlier today..... did it in the evening before dinner, and it was a bit hard going...!
But I got through it.......

I usually do some form of cardio afterwards.... Wii Zumba Fitness class or 20 minutes on the treadmill

Day 2 done... wowzers! Had some sore muscles today but worked through it and they felt better after exercising.

Question: Does anyone else have to go in and update their ticker manually or is it supposed to update itself?
