Ha I just posted to the older post. ooops

Anyways.... I completed day 2 today with 20 minutes on the Treadmill also.
Felt pretty good but the pushups killed me. That is def a goal of mine, to get better at pushups!!!

I find the best way to do pressups is to do 20 in the morning and 20 at lunch and 20 in the evening.. if you cant do full ones do as many as you can full and do the rest of the set on your knees and you can do them in sets of 10 with a break in the middle when you first start.. believe me though they get alot easier... also make sure your keeping your body flat and dont have your bum up just keep hacking away at them

Got through day three today, on very little sleep last night as i was out for my belated birthday celebrations, also my 16 month old decided to wake in the night twice. So although i was really shattered i thought its only day three i can't miss a day yet so i got my work out clothes on straight away this morning and did the dvd whilst my little one was having his breakfast. I always struggle to find time to get it done at the weekends what with family commitments but will try and get it done sat and sun this week. DId everyone take measurements before starting?

Morning after Day 1 & I'm a little sore. Not sure if it's the 2.5 hours of cleaning my moms garage or the partial Level 1 I did (I didn't make it thru the whole section). I did not measure before this. I measured on my first day of MFP & am going to measure once a month. Day 2 tonight!

I completed Day 2 last night and... I'm sore! Well my legs are anyway... those squats I think were what did it. I didn't measure and do my pictures until after my Level 1 on Day 1. But I can't wait to see the results. I know it sounds weird, but I already feel stronger! Glad to have this support!!!

Oh man I am super sore this morning!!! Also feel like I am retaining every drop of water that I am taking in. I am supposed to feel skinny when I work out this much right, WRONG!!! I know it is just my sore muscles and my body trying to fix my sore muscles so oh well

Looking forward to the workout tonight actually

Had unexpected plans last night. Will do it tonight though. Keep up the good work everyone!!! We can do this!

So I did shred 2 again... I'm not sure if I should advance to 3 yet. I get a good solid workout/sweat with 2, some moves are still challenging while others are easy, but my muscles aren't sore. Should I use heavier weights (I use 5lbs now) and stay on 2?... I forget exactly what day I started the shred program, I think I'm on day 21... so in theory it's time to move to 3...Has anyone done 3 yet? As far as plugging the calories into mfp exercise - I break it down to aerobics, high impact for 6 minutes, calisthenics for 3 and strength training for 9... I figure that's how she breaks down her circuit training...

Did d2l1 today. Boy my legs hurt! Lol

Just finished Day 2 (first full session for me). Wow! I am concentrating on being Anita right now. I wonder if/when I will follow Natalie. That felt good! Definitely have a long way to go but I am satisfied just finishing level one for now. Push ups are a killer! I like the mix of exercises and how encouraging Jillian is. She got me thru a few spots for sure! All in all- I really like it and look forward to doing it every day and to see how much I improve by Day 30.

Just completed Day 3 level 1, wow, I don't know how they are using 5lb weights and still smiling? I am using 4 pounders and those side lunges are kicking my butt....

Faery7

Completed D3 of L1 today... and wow... I can't believe how it's only been 3 days and I already feel stronger and have more stamina. I didn't have any trouble with the anterior lifts like I did on D2. I can't wait to see how I feel after day 30! Hope you all are feeling the burn and feeling good about it!! Let's keep up the momentum!!!

Just finished day 2. I was/am sooo sore from day one. I started off and could barely do the cardio properly. By the second round of the cardio, I was able to actually get off the ground a bit easier. ( I guess I needed to be better warmed up, 'cause my muscles were stiff?)

madbeach9

Yep. Sore this morning after D2L1. But can't wait for doing it all again tonight!! Love it! Hope everyone else is doing good. Keep it up!!

L2 D3 and I'm not sore that much but for some reson I just can not do the V raises at all... Sucks but oh well I'll keep trying!!

Just finished Day 4 level one today. My shoulders are a bit sore but i always get that when doing anything that involves the arms a lot. Not finding it too bad although i definately feel like its a workout when i've finished, the only thin on level 1 i can't do on the hard setting is the push ups, i managed 5 in each of the two sets today and that about killed me i have to then do the anita style but that then hurts my knees. Oh well i'm sure it will get easier the more i try.

CelenaOlson

Yeah, I start off with the "proper" push ups, but have to switch to "knee" push ups after 6 or so!

Liss416

L2 D3 and I'm not sore that much but for some reson I just can not do the V raises at all... Sucks but oh well I'll keep trying!!

I can't do it either.... and I've been doing L2 for 11 days or so... I have the squat part of it down, but never get the v raise as high as eye level... best I've done is chin level... I'm using 5lb weights, how about you? That's why I wonder if I should stick on level 2 until I master this one... I can do just about everything else (I lose my balance sometimes when I do the knee raise/shoulder press or whatever it's called,but I don't feel like that's holding me back...). Hmmm what to do...

Faery7

Just finished D4 L1 keep up the great work guys!!!!

madbeach9

D3L1 completed. Still had to rest a couple times & can't do all the pushups yet. Still feel good afterwards!

Liss416

Great job! Keep it up!

cookie241

Day five level one completed. feeling great really enjoying it this time although those push ups are still a killer.

CelenaOlson

Bad day yesterday, totally fell off track food wise, and exercise!!! Didn't do my shred. About to do it now.

Faery7

Just completed L1D5... even though I was hungover lol... yay me!

madbeach9

D4L1-seemed tougher than days 2&3. Did more push-ups (not all of them yet) & took less breaks. Getting there.

Liss416

Day 12(I think)? Level 2 completed. Was going to do Level 3 this morning until I realized that my cable on demand doesn't have Level 3 available. I just ordered the dvd from netflix, so I'm going to stay on 2 for a couple more days... maybe by then I'll be able to do the v lift and raise the weights up to eye level...

Faery7

Completed L1D6 getting ready for L2 soon enough

To like this DVD. I really like the feel after a good workout, like I've accomplished something. I've committed to doing it twice a day plus walking every morning (and a little jog if i can work it up with the stroller lol). My husband said I'm becoming addicted, but as someone who was previously obese for almost 10 years and now the lowest weight since 11th grade...I think it's a good addiction. And quite frankly it's better than being obsessed with bad foods (like I was!). Anyone else doing the shred more than once a day?
