as mentioned before, the more the merrier
Just completed Level 1 Day #2 - phewww, it felt better than yesterday. I still struggle with the push ups as someone else mentioned, but as long as I try to do a few real ones than move onto the knee ones I think its ok.
My shoulders are really sore today, I think from the shoulder press and the side lunge and raise thing lol
Today I burned 109 cals instead of 105 so I think I pushed just a lil harder
I switched to 5 lbs for the chest fly and think I will be doing that for shoulder rows and the biceps tomorrow (we'll see how sore I am)
Fehleesha - I am doing other exercise along with this - I can post that along with my daily report on completing the Shred. Tonight I have an indoor soccer game (44 mins). And yesterday I did a 32 minute wave runner machine class0 -
Day 7 L2 done!I am so intimidated by the thought of this but....I am signing up!! I really need the motivation to do this. I am so close to my goal. My beach trip is about 6 weeks away.
I did Day 6 Level 2 on Monday. Did Zumba on the wii last night. Tonight I will do Day 7 Level 2.
I am alternating between 2lb and 5lb weights, depending on the excercise.
Plan for the week:
04/20 - Day 7 L2
04/21 – Day 8 L2
04/22 – Day 9 L2
04/23 – Day 10 L20 -
I'm in serious need of motivation! I have the DVD and am trying sooooo hard to wake up before work to do the workout, but my bed seems to convince me to stay and sleep a bit longer. Anyone else feel like a slacker? I have a few weddings/ vacations coming up in the next couple months and so no time like the present to get my butt in gear.0

I'd love to join too! I started on Monday, so I did L1D3 this morning. I also started C25K yesterday in the afternoon. I'm hoping the combination will really kick things into high gear leading into summer. This morning I noticed that it was definitely a little easier. I stopped very briefly (less than 5 secs) 3 different times, which is a big improvement over the 1st 2 days!

YES!! I tried to get up this morning to workout and just couldn't either. I am going to try tonight, but won't get home until after 9. I just need to do it!0 -
Awesome. I think I'm going to try adding other exercise to my daily routine since I have a lot of time this summer. I'm feeling pretty sore and tired but maybe doing something later in the evening would be good for me. 0

Stayed up way too late (for me) last night and just couldn't crawl out of bed in time to workout - I have to get up at 5:00 am if I am going to get a work out in... my husband is on kid duty tonight so I will go hit the gym before I go home... will start 30 day shred tomorrow... guess I'm going to be yet another day behind everyone else...0

Done another day of the Shred!!!! Started at level 2!!!0

L1D2 finished! Is it crazy to say that today felt a tad easier than yesterday??? It could just be in my head, but either way I'll take it! I am combining it with the C25K program 3 times a week -maybe more if I feel like it. I REstarted the c25k yesterday and thought it would be tough because I was sure that I lost all progress I made by not running for a month. Well.....It wasn't a cake walk but I felt pretty darn good when I finished...I actually thought "Wow, I have missed this." Which is crazy because I was sooooo nit a runner a few months ago!!!
Feeling good- Keep it up :happy: :happy: :happy: and happy shredding!!!!0 -

I have absolutely no motivation to wake up early before work and do it - I want all the extra time to sleep as I can. So I force myself to do it soon as I get home! just an idea0 -
I completed Level Day #3 today - I kind of agre it is getting easier... my arms are so sore right now that the strength section kills me
FOr those of you pushing your start days back, or skipping days just try and get the shred in morning noon or night - any chance you get. its only 25-27 mins, make the time for it. (not trying to sound rude or anything just want to give you that push that we need sometimes - I'm sure I will need it sooner than later!)0 -
Plan for the week:
04/20 - Day 7 L2 Complete 04/20
04/21 – Day 8 L2 Complete 04/21!!!
04/22 – Day 9 L2
04/23 – Day 10 L2
@sundinsgurl - you make a good point about it only being 25 minutes. I am really going to try to stick with it especially since I really want to see results.m0 -
Did L1D4 this morning, and Week 1 Day 3 of C25K this afternoon. Getting up at 4:40am to do 30DS is a killer, but it's the only time I don't have an audience. Once the kids are in bed at night, I'm wiped out! Think I need to take measurements tonight because the scale has actually gone up about 1/2 a pound. Depressing!!0

Day 3 done!! so much sweating by the end..0
-

Another bad day... was planning on doing the DVD last night, but ended up having to go pick my husband up downtown. Only was going to get 6 hours of sleep and I defiantly need my 8. I have stop making excuses and JUST DO IT! I am doing good with eating my 1200 calories so I am still losing weight, but want to get the toning results that everyone who has done the DVD speaks of.
Is anyone else struggling to find the time? Are you just getting less sleep to make sure you get your workouts in? I know "they" say how important getting a good nights rest is.
Thanks for any advice... I need it!0 -
Level 1 - Day #4 complete!!! wohoooo burned a much higher number this morning, must have been because I did it first thing when I got up as opposed to after having done my other exercise and working all day. Instead of 105-109 I burned 130 cals.
Also, I made a calender for the 30 days - and planned out the next weeks of exercise. And its nice to see which day I will be on which level
ak248902 - Glad to hear that you are stil loosing weight Some days will be more jam packed than others but its about planning the
time that you will do it the night before so that you know you will get it in. I havent been compromising my sleep at all0 -
I had to miss yesterday I'd done too much cycling and could barely move my legs lol Anyways back to it first thing this morning Day3 Lvl1 done .... forgot how much I enjoy level 1 I can really see how much fitter I am this time around.
Keep at it everyone :drinker:0 -
Got done with day 5 today and I no longer hate jumping jacks haha. So far so good. Keep the good work everyone 0
-
Level 1 Day 2 done... didn't have a chance to log in yesterday but did (finally) complete day 1... I'm on my way... just a few days behind everyone else.
ak... the only advice I can give you is to get to bed as early as you possibly can. My days a SUPER hectic. I work full time, have two very young kids and my husband travels for his job so I am on my own a lot. If I don't get up and work out before my kids are up I just not going to work out... I can plan on doing it all I want, but the reality is that it just won't happen unless my husband is home with the kids and I can go to the gym (which I try to do at least twice a week).
Things happen and I end up being up too late and when that happens, my mornings are shot because I need the sleep too... totally get your frustration.0 -
Day 4 Level 1 done today, managed a few full on push ups yay!0
-
Made it through L1 Day 6 this morning. It was nice not to have to get up at 4:40am to do it! Couple more days and moving onto Level 2. Oh my!0
-
Completed Level 1 - Day #5 Wohooo half way thru level one 0
-
Did my shred this morning after I came home from the gym!!0
-
Did L1D7 this afternoon after Easter brunch. Gotta say I'm getting a little bored... Wondering if I should step it up to Level 2 a little early?? My motivation is waning!0
-
Completed Level 1 Day #6 I can feel it getting easier which is AWESOME!! I can make it all the way through the strength training parts without taking any breaks anymore. I still can only manage 10 push ups than switch to knee ones, but I used to have to take breaks in the shoulder press and front raise part too.
This was the first time I left the shred so late (after 8pm), plus it was a Sunday and a night after drinking so I was feeling very lazy. But I survived my first weekend and am still successful thus far: 1/6th of the way complete0
