    I just ran across the street to the big bookstore and picked up the shred DVD--I'm so excited to start it tonight! But how do y'all log in the calories burned under the exercise tab on this website? Thanks! :smile:

    I logged it as Circuit Training, and do have an HRM:

    5'8" 150 = 245 cal. burned for 27 minutes.

    Hope this helps a little.

    ok got a question:

    I was going to do this 5 days a week, m-f, but after talking w/ my fiance, he said that if i'm working my muscles out sooo much i really need a day inbetween for them to "heal". And you know i'm thinking he's right, b/c the last two times i've done L1 i have been really sore the next day. which is great, don't get me wrong, but i'm thinking that to continue to work those same muscles w/o a break inbetween really isn't going to do anything but hurt me in the long run.

    So what do you guys think??? I know there's cardio in there too, but really, must of it is strength, and i've always heard you need to do strength training every other day to re-coop your muscles. So i'm confused now, do i do it everyday and forget what most people say about a break, or do it everyother, which will take me longer, but will be better for my body? hopefully some of you will know the answer!

    Thanks, Laura

    I've been wondering the same thing, Laura. I've done it 3 days in a row and my muscles (especially my legs) are aching. But Jillian says do it everyday--I don't know who or what to believe. I guess you have to listen to your body and if it gets to be too much, then take a day off.

    I'd like to hear from people who've completed a months worth--did you really do it for 30 days straight?

    So today was my first day and I actually really like the dvd. It definitely gave me a workout and my arms feel like jello now. Only 29 more days! I can't wait to see what everyone's results turn out to be.

    I want to join too. I'm just starting level 3 and can't wait until I can make it through it in one piece.

    Wow, Kate! How long have you been doing the first 2 levels?

    I have been doing it for a while. I think I did Level 1 for a week and then level 2 until I could make it through without feeling drained afterwards.

    Hi! Is it too late for me to start too? I had the DVD for a few days, but I am stubborn about changing routines, so I continued to do just elliptical. Problem is, my body is too used to that and I need to switch it up and start getting some strength training in.....so today, I did level 2 of that DVD and it almost killed me! I just thought I was in shape. I think I'll just aim for 3 days a week with this and the rest elliptical :smile:

    How is everyone doing with the shredding? I just finished day 4 and I don't think I am quite ready to move to level 2 yet but maybe after a week to 10 days. I hope everyone is working hard and enjoying the dvd! :happy:

    I finished day 6 this morning! LOVE IT! Still one level 1 and might do so for the entire month. The arm strengthing exercises are still really hard for me, so I think I won't push myself too soon.

    Hi ya'll-

    Just finished w/ Day 5 Level 1(exept it's taken me 2 weeks. I was going to do it every other day, but decided i needed a good kick in the butt and now am going to shoot for 6 days/week, but might only do 5, we'll see how it goes.) And i love it so far. i can really see some changes, not in my body, but my endurance. so that's good. As soon as I can do all the arm movements then i'll switch to Level 2, I think in about a week or so.

    Anyway, good luck to everyone and keep it up!

    Sorry I just saw your message, or I would have answered it sooner. I did for all but 2 days in Sept. I was sore for the first few days, like it hurt to sit, but then I was fine. L1 got less challenging and I moved to L2. Now, I never did make it to L3, but maybe this month I will. Keep with it, it gets easier and you will not always be this sore!:flowerforyou:

    yes, thanks again! I've decided that i'm just going to go ahead and do it 5-6 days a week, i think my body might need the extra kick. And i finally have gotten less sore:grumble: but the more i do it the more i find i don't get as sore. i think i'll move on to Level 2 after next week, we'll see though.

    I'm a little late joining in as I have been not doing great with diet/exercise the past couple of weeks but am feeling very motivated now as I need to lose some weight before a fancy Christmas party at the end of November.

    I am going to try to Shred every day for the next month. I found level 1 too easy and level 2 too hard!!! My son wanted me to do Level 3 yesterday and it actually wasn't much harder than level 2 but it is still very hard. My kids like to join in with me and my twin daughters use salad utensils as their weights!

    Anyways...I have only done Shred about 4 times so am now committing to every day!!

    Good morning everyone! Today will be day 2 of level 2 for me. I completed my 10 days of level 1 and was happy to move on, but whoa is it hard! I am having to modify like crazy and today my lower back is hurting me because of all the plank exercises. I might be on level 2 for longer than 10 days!

    Looking for ideas. I can't shred. I'm supposed to walk on crutches all the time. Doctor says NO impact - not low impact but none. I'm not even supposed to walk. The guy offered me my choice of crutches, canes or a walker. Give me a break!

    So, you all have been doing this video and know whatt it's about. I can't do jumping jack or jump ropes. I can do the punches while in a squat position. And other suggested modifications?

    I've biked and elipticalled already and to be honest, (don't tell the doctor), when I'm done, I hurt and that's not good. Going too hard too fast which caused my injuries in the first place. The video is a good idea because I can't go too hard or too fast unless I do all 3 levels in one setting - NOT!

    Any ideas would be appreciated.
