PURPLE! PURPLE!

melissa73

I did pretty good. I still have trouble with the third rotation of strength with the arm raises and side lunges. But I am not as sore as I was on the 2nd and 3rd day. But it still felt good.

I didn't get my treadmill workout in Hubby called and needed me to take him something. So there went my workout. I am going to walk on the treadmill while the family watches a movie. With popcorn but I am not going to eat any.

Welcome to the purple team christel. Glad you could join.

melissa73

Okay today is Saturday. I've got the kids cleaning their rooms. They want to go to the Movies tomorrow. So I told them their rooms need to be cleaned first.

As far as my workouts I am going to do my 6th day of Shred. Then I am going to do some tae bo later.
I think Jillian Michaels 30 day shred is the best for strength training that I have come up with. I really feel it when I am done. But I do need to push myself to do more cardio on top of the shred.

Have a great weekend.

Canelitas

So did they get to go to the movies???

My weekend hasn't been the best ... I got fever on Friday evening, and then had the flu, I've bee sweating it out, on top of that I got my period, so you can imagine ...lol

Right now, I'm much better, just have a stiffy nose and scratchy throat...any suggestions anyone?

I'm praying I am ready for work tomorrow.

RachVR6

Ahhh I've got the evening to relax, after a weekend at work. Ugh! I feel an early bedtime calling my name!

tall_t

I hear the bed calling my name too...

I had a busy day, got up early to do 2 mile run, no stopping.... First time EVER for that!!!!! :drinker: Then church, when I got home I did Wii Fit for 2 1/2 hours doing every exercise on there. Then my husband took me to Outback and I asked for a box and put half of everything into it before I even started, I am still full!!!!!

But now, it is time to sleep. Night all my purple people!!!! Thanks for motivating me to be good today! I want a good weigh in on Tuesday!!!!

melissa73

Yeah we went to the movies. It was okay. They wanted to See Beverlyhills chihuahua.

I didn't work out today. Missed the shred. I will continue on it tomorrow.

I went to eat at chili's and did okay. I didn't eat all my food and left it on the table. So I won't have the temptation to finish it when I got home.

I feel good about my weekend.

Sorry you are feeling sick. Canalitas get better and get back into the game. It is life and we need to learn to adjust. I know you can do it.

Tina you are the bomb. I am glad to hear that you had a great weekend. Love your dedication.
Keep it up.

Good night. My purple peps.

When we talk about the shred it's the

30 Day Shred - by Jillian Michaels

It has 3 complete workouts - Level 1,2 and 3.

I got mine from walmart.com for $9.99 ... feel free to join us in it! :flowerforyou:

Ok you Purple shredders....can you expound on the Shred a bit more? Here's the situation..I live on the 3rd floor...and not sure how comfy I'd be doing jumpin jacks and things that way over my neighbors heads.

What types of things does this workout entail? I do my workouts at the gym 5-6 days a week but would like to have a great video that I could also be doing as well...something to commitment myself to .....like in the Winter when I can't make it to the gym because of snow or whatever.

I did watch the clip online of her video....but can any of you share a bit more about it???

What equipment does it require....I saw a mat and weights.....what all are you using? lb wise and such..... I didn't see to much explained on what I need.....cause the clip goes pretty quickly...but I got the general idea of a bit of what she does.

I called around and also found an under $10 price at Wally World....ok, I think it was Wally World..now I better check I called ALOT of places...lol

Thanks for any info you can share on what to expect. Guess I'm afraid I won't be able to do it, like it's to much for me or something....but here's what I'd doing currently regarding my workouts. Kick butt water aerobics at least 1 class if not 2 per day...at an hour each, pretty much everyday except I take Sundays off from the gym normaly.

I also do strength training (cable weights/machines..don't know much about free weights yet...but would love to start them as well or instead of) 2-3 times a week. I've been working out since last July or so ........just gives you an idea on my fitness level.

So think I can do the Shred??....:laugh: I'm laughing because it sounds like a Jillian term!:drinker: Like it's gonna shred you up and spit you out......probably I'm just stuck on the name and the workout will be fine for me.

I do so love my workouts...and the next day the soreness makes me realize how hard I've worked...and I feel so good about my progress...remembering how last year was ...ohhhhhhhhh so not like this year.:blushing: :laugh:

chrissyh

I bought the Shredding video at Best Buy this weekend and will begin today.

From everything I have read I will need to STRETCH after and I will be sore ---any other words of wisdom for someone just beginning??

I am so glad your asking the questions, I too have been wondering and didn't want to sound stupid because I didn't know.... Thanks Fitness Chick~

chrissyh

Well I do know that all 3 levels are on one tape

Now my DVD player isn't working-ARGH! So I'll try to start later today....

Canelitas

What types of things does this workout entail?

Level 1 starts out with arm streches, arm circles - oops now I can't remember oh well, you do get a full workout though. :bigsmile: pushups, jumping jacks, jump rope, squats, abs, lounges with bicep curls, chest flys, chest press, butt kicks, punches with a half squat - (really burns), and Bicycle ... I know these do not go in this oreder, but oh well, just giving you an idea, I may of left something out....sorry

I haven't seen the other 2 levels, all 3 come on the same dvd, i just don't want to spoil it ....lol

What equipment does it require....I saw a mat and weights.....what all are you using?

Just HandWeights - I use 5lbs. You could get a mat if you'd like, I don't use one though. of course this is all based on Level 1 workout.

So think I can do the Shred??....:laugh: I'm laughing because it sounds like a Jillian term!:drinker: Like it's gonna shred you up and spit you out......probably I'm just stuck on the name and the workout will be fine for me.

Lol, that's put perfectly into words...Shred you up and spit you out....it really is a painful, muscle burning workout, well at least for me it is, but hey, No Pain No Gain, right?

melissa73

I am so excited we are all going to be shredded and toned and looking hot.
I am only doing level one too. I do believe that all you need it a mat if you don't have carpet at home and some hand weights. I do 5 lbs but when it gets easier I am going to do 8 to challenge myself.
It is all up to you you could start with like a 3 for the first few days and work your way up to a 5lb. and so on. I have not done or looked at the other levels. But I am sure they are just as intense as the first if not more.
I can already tell the difference after the first week. But when you are sore and don't want to continue. Do because that is part of the process. You are training your body to adjust to it and it will get better I promise. Your arms, calves, and bu@$ will be sore but it wont last forever. Or maybe until you hit the 2nd level, and then the 3rd. But by then you will not care because you will see the results from the previous levels.

And when you build muscle your body will burn more fat. Right?

We are going to be the Purple shredders. :laugh:

You can definitely do it. You know you can. Your mind has already decided for you. So just jump on our shredding wagon and we will be shredded together.

The first day I did shred it was tough. And then the 2nd day I was so sore I could hardly do 1/2 the push ups and then the side lunges with the arm raises just about killed me.
But on the 3rd day I was still sore but my body did a lot better with the work out.
There is a part in the 1st level where jillian Says " If you are on your 5 to 7th day you can really tell the difference." And you will. You will feel great.
It is only 27 minutes with warm-up and cool down. And you can do it. Your bottom neighbors probably wont even hear you.

Once you get going you wont stop. Lets do this thing and get to shredding. And we will shred off the lbs and get some awesome shredded muscles. Woo hoo.

melissa73

Ok, I'm aboard the Purple Wagon of Shredders! Wheeeeeeeeee.....this is great having a common goal and being able to discuss it.... I'll discuss opening the pkg. up later.:laugh: Yup...it'll be a pkg. opening party at my HOUSE!:drinker:

My DVD player is on my PC so I need to shove some things around so I can work in here and do it...I'm in the midst of selling a bunch of stuff on Ebay so have some things making me feel a bit boxed in around my PC. I need to shift things around a bit and then I can get going on the Purple Peeps Shred Wagon with y'll.

Yea, I just needed some confidence I think...that I could jump in and do it....I never in the world thought I would ever be able to do what I do now at the gym last year at this time. Sheesh... So I'll jump in with this video and give it my all as well... I'm so glad I found a copy easily...YIPEE.

I see there's another Shred Thread floating around as well....I may jump on there and cheer them on as well..but my loyalty lies with my Purple Blooded Partners on the Purple Shred wagon.:laugh:

melissa73

Whoopie... Right on... We rock... We are going to be shredded in no time.
This is my happy dance.

Honey no crying!!!

You're putting too much pressure on yourself and you cannot believe that we would be disappointed in you!! You're our team mate!

Take it one step at a time and maybe focus on your eating and, when that is natural, then work on the excercise. You can't expect your body to accept it all at once!!

:flowerforyou: And {HUGS}.
