Looks like I'm the only one? Sparkle you still with me?


Done Level 3 Day #6 - only 4 more to go

I am here! At the doctor's office now. I am getting my last shred for the challenge wheN I get home.

yummy♥

well i thought i'd chime back in since it looks like we lost a few along the way ...

just started L3 (which i LOVE) and i really feel it in my back, like just below my shoulder blades - not quite sure why. a bit sore, but i realize that i like feeling a little sore in new spots. it seems like i'm waking up muscles that have been sleeping way too long!!!

keep up the good work ladies, your dedication is awesome!

I'm still here!! Definitely have not been consistent the last few days. I did Level 3 Day 4 (I think) today. The plyometric movements kill me! I guess that means I need to do more.

I really noticed it in my lower back. I think I overcompensated for my flabby abby!

bwahaahaa, that's it exactly!
the pylos kill me too, i do this barefoot on hardwood, but have started to jump on my yoga mat to try to save my knees. not to mention decreasing the earth rattling effects of me jumping - my dogs come running in, like wft?? when i get going

Ya I've got some flabby abbey to hahahahahahah

Before I moved at the beginning of May I was doing it in a basement on cement floor (carpet n top of it) but it stil really killed my knees! Since moving to the new apartment its been much better

Its nice to see others back on here YAY!!! We are doing pretty good, since we all know this is not an easy program to stick with!

I completed Level 3 Day #7 -

I can never do those scissor kicks - for some reason it always hurts my lower back, perhaps my core isnt strong enough to take it on yet.

The scissor kicks and the jump lunges are my least favorite moves. I have not been getting enough sleep, and my job has been HELL this week, so I slept through workout time again this morning. Gonna try to get to bed early tonight, so I can get in day 5 in the morning...

yummy♥

jump lunges, aaacck!!
i can never "stick" my landing, i usually have to readjust before i can lunge again.

i like the scissor kicks though, do you ladies keep your hands under your butt? i find that little bit of elevation helps. full disclaimer, i do end up raising my legs a bit higher, it's so hard to stay at just 3" above the ground - hopefully will get better at that as the days go on. hoping to squeeze in day3 in tonight after a long work day.

Level #3 - day #8 complete - Only 2 more days to go!!! Wow So incredibly happy


I have tried keeping my hands under my butt, and keeping them up higher - its just so hard. I try mybest and take a rest a couple times in the 30 seconds. lol

Great Job everyone!!! Way to at least get it in there

Hi All - I just wanted to report my results for the 4 week period. I am going to take a break from the Shred and try to shake it up with something different. Not sure what yet.

I probably did about 24/30 days.

I lost 2lbs and 1 inch on my waist. Not big numbers. But I am very happy with the way I look and the strength and endurance that has developed. I am only 4 lbs away from my goal weight. So any loss at this point I will take!!

Good luck to everyone on your journeys :flowerforyou:

Did Level 3 Day 5 this morning. Down 2.8 lbs this past week. Yay! I am going to do my measurements tonight to compare with when we started the shred last month. Hopefully this will be a less stressful week at work, so I can keep getting up in the morning to workout.

Have a great week!

So I completed Level 3 Day #9 on Saturday, than I went camping for Saturday, which equaled hungover Sunday than we drank that night too (long weekend here in Canada) so Monday was a hangover day as well which = another skipped shred!

This morning I managed to get in my final workout of the shred - Level 3 Day # 10!! :):):)

All in all I completed the 30 Day Shred in 36 days.

I will take a pic to compare it with and do measurements in the next day or so - I honestly dont think I lost much weight at all (if any, possibly a gain) but I have definetely gained strength, gotten definition.

So nice to have a group of people here to hold me accountable. It made me want to complete the workout just so I could come on here nad share that I completed it! You guys are doing awesome as well! Breaks are definetely needed with this, I mean life just sometimes gets in the way! Keep it up


I'll be back to post pics soon enough, add eachother as friends (if we havent already) so that we can keep each other motivated
