    O.M.G. I did L3D1 and I found it significantly harder on some things as well. Especially because of the knees, dangit! Unfortunately, I'm not strong enough to do all of the plank moves without modification, but even resting on my knees was hurting them :frown: Has anyone tried doing the workout with knee braces? I almost wonder if I need to wear knee pads like a volley ball player :laugh:

    I really really wanted to do the shred again in September, but both level 2 and now level 3 seem to be too hard on my knees. I'm wondering if I can strengthen somehow and come back in like October? Does anyone know? I need to keep getting regular exercise mainly to stay healthy during this next few months, but I'd like results too, of course.

    Would you be interested in doing the 30DS with me next month? I'm planning to do each day twice a day... So maybe if you're doing L1D1 twice a day for he 10 days it will help strengthen your legs by Level 2 &3?

    today was L3D3 and I am with everyone else. My right knee is in pain.... I am replacing the jumping moves (besides the sumo jumps) with previous cardio moves. The inner part of my thighs, abs and wing area are sore too... I am going to finish the 30DS and make up the days I am missing (from last week) I believe I am going to do C25K and build some more muscle in my legs and see if that will help with the knee and then maybe try the 30 DS again. I will have to find some time for my weights as well

    4 of the girls in my dept at work went out and bought this DVD because they can see my results. ( A little NSV)

    After 30DS is done... I plan to redo it starting September 1st doing every day twice a day, until the 30 days are over. Does anyone else want to do this?

    I'll definitely do it once a day in September... not sure if I'll have time for twice a day. But, YES, I'll do it in September because August sort of became a fail due to moving.

    I started over with level 2 today after moving, painting, cleaning, for about 4 hours a day after work every day this past week. I took yesterday off because I was exhausted. L2 kicked my butt tonight. Strength wasn't too bad but cardio was awful. Hoping that a couple of days in I'll be back with it!

    Good news, I've continued to lose inches/lbs. I'm the lowest I've been since graduating college 16 months ago!

    There's def a diff there, myiceisonfire. I imagine that's the kind of diff I'll see too - our bodies are similar and on thighs and bum is where I too have been shaping up. But you def can see it.

    Go for round two in Sept! I will be once I finish round one! (D7, L2 tonight. Sigh).

    I see the difference, too! But I'm still going to play "big sister" and tell you to eat more protein! :ohwell:

    Hmm... I was in this group but somewhere the paths diverged and a fake group was created. I've been posting on this thread:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/313387-30-day-shred-group-august

    All on my own for ages!

    Oh well.... Level 2 day 18 tonight. Moving up to level 3 on Saturday.

    Jay, nice job! I also found the other group, but realized it wasn't "my" group because it wasn't started by "ice" Glad you found your way back!

    Alrighty!

    Day 29 DONE!!!! One more day and I'll have done all 30 without missing once! I'm going out to buy a heavier set of "dumbs" today. Until September 1st when I start again, I'm going to randomly do levels with the heavier weights. I haven't decided if I'm taking a DOR..

    ROCK ON!!:tongue:

    Jay, I'll have to catch you in October for that one. My friends were so impressed by my physical changes that we're doing a round of "Shred" in September and then I'm moving on to Ripped. If you want to consider another round of "Shred"...

    Nah, I reckon I'll be starting P90x in September (been itching to start it for a while!) which should run me through to Xmas.

    I'm also running a 6 week 100 pushup challenge starting next week. Check it out here:

    So I reckon I'll be pretty tied up for a little while after the Shred! :~)
