    Ok, I just finished day one of level one... OMG I am so out of shape!!! Jumping jacks are the DEVIL!!! I know we did them as a kid... but being 282.5 lbs... those are no joke!! I had to run in place for part of them cuz I just can't do them like I used to. But other than that... it was a good work out. Also I am not using weights. I figure since I am going from couch potato to work out machine... its ok to not incoperate weights. We will see how tomorrow goes... I wish I could just get the results with out the work... I know... don't we all? Good night. :)

    For those wondering how to track it, I've read logging it under circuit training is the closest you'll get without a heart monitor. I've been tracking 20 minutes per day with it.

    I wanted to workout in the morning, but then due to work it got postponed. By evening my energy levels were down. But I decided not to give up and finally completed 1/30 of shred. I felt happy about it. It felt much easier than the last time I did couple of months ago.

    Just to re-iterate for anyone still wondering, log it as Circuit Training - it's probably as close as you'll get :o)

    I just finished day 5 of level two, and it's the first time I've managed to get all the way through level 2 without stopping! Also managed to up the weights (I found this on level 1 too) on the easier moves. Still on some of the modified moves, don't think I'll ever be able to hold a plank and jump at the same time :os

    For those who've just started, hope you're all ok - muscles probably burning but it shouldn't last more than a few days - keep at it, it's AMAZING how quickly your body can suddenly cope with things that you just couldn't do at all a few days before.

    Really weird though, my tummy muscles have hardened markedly, I can *really* feel them when I tense them now - just a shame they're still covered with that pouch of fat (ye olde muffin top ;o) so no one can actually see! But whether the results are visible or not, after only 12 days I actually feel a huge difference to my fitness, endurance and strength levels, so I encourage you all to stick to doing it every day if you can, for 20 mins of pain (and a few days of soreness) the gain is super quick and noticeable.

    I got through Day 1 yesterday. I've tried before ... twice....and thought it would be a breeze to jump back in. Nope not at all. Looking forward to finishing all the way this time around. I noticed that by the second cardio round (Level 1) everything is downhill from there. It's just getting up the hill that's the problem. Felt good afterwards with some sore arms today.

    ...and since I suggested it, it's only fair that I upload my day 1 photos. Please accept my apologies for the frighteningly garish itsy bitsy flourescent pink bikini, but I think for the benefit of comparison, the more skin on show the better, you get a much better idea of your progress this way. These pics are hot off the press...hubs took them about 20 minutes ago. Never posted pictures on here before, so here's hoping it works.

    Your are funny, chezkie!

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me someday have a "frighteningly garish itsy bitsy flourescent pink bilini" and be able to wear it in public and look as good as your before picture, let alone your upcoming after picture!

    Day 2 Level 1 Completed! I had to get up early while both kids were asleep - but it is done for the day!! I'm wondering if most of you are ONLY doing the 30ds or are you combining with other things? I want to get great results so Im thinking about combining with some other type of exercise - but I am also curious to see what results I'd get doing just the 30 ds...

    And on a side note.... OMG that was tough - I personally hate the jump rope and the side lunges with arm raises - but when Im done I feel like I can kick butt!

    I was wondering the same thing. I was thinking about putting in a little treadmill time myself but didn't want to mess with the experiment.
