Level 1 Day 2=DONE!

vintagefool

Finished Day 3 of Level 1 today and it was pretty rough - must be making up for the relative ease of yesterday's D2. I'm hoping for a more enjoyable work-out tomorrow for Day 4 rather than feeling like my body is going to collapse every few minutes :laugh: From what I've heard, these first few days are absolutely the hardest so keep pushing through and we'll all look fabulous in no time!

L1D2 complete first thing in the morning to get it out of the way! Was feeling my muscles beforehand, I think they're gonna be singing later!!

Level 1 day 3 done. Hope you don't all hate me, but I'm not finding it too bad so far! :bigsmile:

I started on the 23rd also, so today (6/25) was my 3rd day of doing the Shred. I tried doing it a few months ago, but my hurt my knee and then stopped. I really want to complete it this time!

Day 3, level 2 (for a change). Still using bottles of water. Went to get some weights today but they only had wrist weights so didn't get anything. Phew, hot hot hot now.

Did day 2 this morning and the fronts of my thighs have started to feel achey this evening!

Level 1, day 4 done. A bit more difficult this time. May have to eat my previous words (hope they are low calorie).

Completed day 4 this morning (Monday). I took yesterday off and plan to do so one day a week. Today I feel stronger and much less sore than I have so far. Still have to stop and rest a couple of times while doing the Shred, but I can tell I'm improving. Those anterior raises with side lunges are killing me though!

I'm in:bigsmile: Will complete L1D6 today:drinker:

Day 3 done and i found it hard today, even got a bit shaky in my arms at one point! I absolutely hate the lunges, ouch :ohwell:

Hello everyone I started the 30 day shred on Thursday the 23rd but decided to post here, maybe this will keep me in line lol.

I gotta say day 3 was so HARD OMG I had to use no weights since my arms felt like they were going to fall off. Day 4 was better, I think its good to let your body rest at least a day from the weights because I don't know if your muscles will repair themselves efficiently. Anywhoo today I will add the weights again.

I find that the hardest exercises of Level 1 are the Bicycle crunches and lateral raises with a side lunge. I find the cardio sessions so much fun I kinda wish they were longer lol. Even though today is only 5 days after I'm noticing some nice definition of my shoulders.

Start weight for 30DS: 143.8
Goal Weight after 30DS: 135 OR size 6

I started on the 21st of June so today will be my day 6 on 30DS. It's getting a little easier as I go but nonetheless I am still having trouble. I had Friday off since I had to go to the birthday but I am determined to finish it!

MiniMichelle

I just completed day 3. I'm doing it a little different this time, though. Instead of doing 10 days on each level I'm going to alternate a level each day. So today was level 3 and tomorrow will be back to level 1.

This is a great idea! I might give Lv2 a run tonight!

I bought this DVD about 2weeks ago but only watched it! Lol i was afraid to start it.... I finally put it in yesterday and got thru level one. I got to say my arms are sore!! But I am sticking to it!! I need to get measurements done today to see some progress. I've heard u loose more inches than weight? Is this true?
I've lost 14lbs so far doing zumba everyday for 45mins... This got me in better shape for 30ds... I need all the support I can get though!! Tonight will be day 2 of level one!

skinnyinnotime

Hey ladies, are any of you planning to go the full 30 days without a break?

I'm aiming to, just hope I've got the stamina to do it!

MissMaggie3

Yep, I'm going to do my best - work issues permitting.

angie_04

Well...I planned it that way but Sat. and Sun. were such busy days & I ended up not doing it!!! I'm madddd at myself, but will continue on 2nite w/ day 6:ohwell:

Just bought the dvd online today so fingers crossed I recieve it by the 1st of July. since july has 31 days and not 30 I'm only allowing myself one day off! so excited to try this dvd since everyone on this site seems to have positive things to say about it.

I have a friend who has lost about 30lbs so far. She started out her weight loss doing the 30 Day Shred and when she found out I was starting it, she said if she was doing it again, she would have given herself a break once a week instead of doing it every day. Based on her suggestion, I am taking one day off a week, and am planning for that to be Sundays.

This past Sunday was between days 3 & 4 for me. I felt like I should have been exercising, but I think it really did give my body a little extra recovery time, and now that I completed day 5 this morning (6/28), I'm feeling stronger and think that the one day a week of rest is a good idea. JMHO

Thanks for sharing.

Although i'm hoping to do it without a break, you know how life has a way of stopping you! I'll just see how it goes.

Level 1 day 4 done and i'm still hating those lunges, gah!
