    I'm in! Just got my dvd today and tried it out. I'll on level one for a while... :o) But I think this might be what I need to break my plateau.

    Hi everyone! I hope I'm not too late to join... I actually started the Shred on the 1st, but I'd love to keep on with you all, too! :)

    I've heard that switching up the levels every day works well, so that's what I've been trying so far, just alternating between 1 & 2. We'll see how it works out.

    Good luck everyone! :smile:

    Hi all,
    Wow, that was NOT as bad as I was expecting. I am so happy that I was able to finish. Did modified pushups and almost gave up during the last set of abs, but JM was encouraging at just the right moments. I was so thrilled that I walked 3 miles on my treadmill after. I must say i am very impressed with my self considering that I had a twelve hour day at work. Hopefully I won't be to sore in the morning. :smile:

    Hi there!

    I started the Shred last summer and ended up stopping it when we moved. I really want to start up again, but have not had the motivation. (bad, I know..lol)

    I know I am a day late, but I would love to join in! :)

    Day 1, Level 1 done! Now to start Day 2 in a few minutes.
    Yesterday I was feeling great all day after working out, and it has been years since I worked out. I walked better, felt energized and exhausted at the same time. Today I am SORE but still motivated to do Day 2!!!!

    Djeez I just can't wait to get my dvd and get started myself.

    Told the husband last night that I'd ordered it and he said he'll join me!
    He's very slim and very fit (physical job) so he doesn't really need it, but he likes to tone up. I've never ever done a workout with him, so it'll be weird, but so nice!

    Day 2 complete!!

    Burned 245 calories which is 3 more than yesterday and my hrm stopped a couple times. I am also using 5lb weights. What are you using?

    Have a great workout!!

    Only 28 to go!

    Just found this!! I started yesterday also!!

    I took before measurements/pix as well.

    Waiting for my HRM in the mail so I had to log under "circuit training, general" for now...it feels like I burned so much more than that but I'd rather underestimate the cals :-)

    I am finding the cardio harder than the strength parts. Anyone else feeling like the cardio is going to kill them?
    BTW, I do smoke so that could be the reason.

    Can I join in please?

    Just done day 5 level 1 shred. My upper body strength is pathetic I can't do any press ups even the modified ones and struggle with the lateral raises.

    At least i can just about keep up with the jumping jacks now, something must be working.

    Question for those of you who are counting the calories you burned while doing the DVD. How are you calculting this?
    thanks

    This is to answer several questions out there.
    DRINK YOUR WATER!!!!
    For any of you watching your calorie burn, please please please invest in a HR Monitor with a chest strap. THere are several wrist ones that do not read accurately. SPORTLINE has one called DUO that runs for about $70. at your local sports stores. Do not do a generic calroie counter from a website. Everyone is different and if you input the average you could be way off!
    DRINK YOUR WATER!!
    Also, please take rest days! Even Jillian says you have to rest 2 days a week!! When you lift weights, you are "tearing" the muscles. The muscles need 24 hours to rebuild (this is where you get stronger). I am doing this workout every other day to let my muscles repair. I do cardio on the days I am not lifting.
    DRINK YOUR WATER!!
    When doing the moves, don't waorry if you cannot keep up with Jillian, remember this is her job and she has been doing it for 16 years or so. Concentrate on doing the moves correctly and doing the amount of reps that youcan correctly. Keep track of this!!!!!!!!! So in 2 weeks, when you look at your workout log, you will see the numbers improving! This is one of the key points in P90X. When I started, I could only do 5 pushups on my knees! By the end of the program, I was doing 30 regular pushups. While I struggled every week (it's tough), i was always pushing myself to do one more than the last time!!!!
    DRINK YOUR WATER!!
    And last thing.... Eat your exercise calories!! If you are like me, you burn about 1700 calories sitting at a desk all day. I plan to eat 1300 calories today (before exercise), giving me a 400 calroie deficit. So every calorie I burn exercising I will eat back. Why? So my body does not think it is being starved and start storing fat. If you have too high of a calorie deficit, you are counterproductive. You need the energy!!

    Ok, I am coming off my soapbox....I just want EVERYONE to do well, and sometimes these are the important things that no one mentions!!!!!
    Today is a run day for me! 3 miles......

    Day two done! Feeling a little strain in my chest muscles... think maybe I shouldn't have used the 5 lbs on the chest flys yesterday. Stuck to 2 lbs today. :)

    Day 2 Level one complete
    I am feeling it for sure. I didn't get as great of a burn today because I had to pause the DVD when babygirl woke up and get her situated before I could continue so my heart rate dropped and I had to pick up again. It wasn't a huge difference (30cals) but at first I couldn't figure out why because I really pushed myself harder this time. I did realize that I kind of held myself back a little bit on the first workout because I wanted to make sure I could finish the whole thing. This time because I knew what was ahead I felt a little better putting it all out there. My hamstrings are killing me. Those two variations of good morning lifts are going to be the death of me. Otherwise I am feeling good. Adding this to my regular cardio is really going to make a difference for me I think.

    I track my calorie burn with the bodybug :o)
    Use 3 and 5lb weights
    I am going to do one rest day a week (walk only on my off day)

    I think those were all of the questions that were asked

    Keep up the great work ladies
    Ang
