    I thought the other thread had gone quiet... here you all are!
    I'm dreading starting level2 now I've heard all your tales.. level 1 is bad enough !!! I was really feeling it in my lower back and knees yesterday so will probly leave todays shred until much, much later. I tore a muscle in my hip/bum last year and dont want to aggravate it more than I should, so am gonna maybe do just a half job today?? will see how I am... maybe I should do 2 x half jobs? LOL
    I'm also losing count of what day Im on... I think I've done L1D7or 8? so I'm gonna carry on doing L1 till Friday and start L2 on Saturday that way I should catch up with meself (and avoid starting L2 a bit longer!!)

    heat and ice this morning methinks! I am NOT giving up!!!

    Hello All

    Just wanted to let you know that Iv'e had to stop the 30 day shred... I had abdominal surgery 4 weeks ago and I really thought I was good to go with this..... but then the nausea started and then the throwing up so unfortunately I have to throw in the towel....

    If it's still ok with you I would like to continue checking in each week and follow the mini challenges.. I'm really disappointed as I was feeling soooooo strong about this. But at least I know what I am in for when I start again on November 1st,

    Congrats on all the hard work you guys are putting in and kick Jillians butt for me!!!

    xx

    Seriously those last two strength exercises in circuit 3 of level 2 are just killer. "Your shoulders should be BURNING right now"

    Don't worry Jillian. They are.

    YIKES!

    And lucky us, we get to do it again today! Woohoo! That very last strength exercise about killed me. I woke up this morning stiff and sore from my neck down to my elbows. lol

    Level 2 day 3 done. Every time at the beginning Jillian says "all you badasses" and I think for a second she says "all you fatasses" and then think "geez Jillian, who peed in your cheerios this morning?"

    Hey shredders!

    It's day 3 of my neck/shoulder misery and it's finally on the mend! I'm on some strong painkillers and I managed 30 minutes on the cross trainer today, woohoo!! It was a feeble 30 minutes though, I actually felt weak despite only having 2 days off exercise and my HRM says I burned about 60 less calories than usual. But it's a big improvement, so I'm hoping to be back with you soon!

    Sorry to hear you're having to drop out Boncharlie, but you've got to listen to your body. Hope you feel etter soon :smile:

    So folks, I have not been doing the shred for the past like, 5 days. I'm trying to decide if I should just give up or start over or just pick up where I left off. Thoughts?

    Ugh!! Ugh!! Ugh!! That's all I can say :-( I did 2 workouts on Sunday & could only do one on Monday. My legs, shins & back are still killing me. I skipped yesterday, but will start L2 tonight. I've been using Biofreeze to try to get rid of some of the pain.

    DON'T give up!! just start again! take it gently, dont over do it and don't feel guilty if you have to restart it a 100 times... its an excercise video and doing it once is better than never having done it at all.

    why do I say this??? well... I was exhausted and very achey last night but persevered and did the shred, but wished I hadnt as I have a weak back/hip/bum muscle (old injury) and think I should've listened to it yesterday so I've skipped todays shred... and maybe even tomorrow...#gasps#... but i will do it!!! I just dont want to damage anything longterm in the process. I may take 40 days to do the 30 day shred but I WILL finish it... eventually!!! just on my terms NOT Jillian Micheals's. LOL

    How's level 3 compared to 2?? I just started 2 today and want to know what I'm in for!

    Level 3 is so much better than level 2. there is even more jumping and plank related exercise than before. Just imagine doing a plank while going up and down from hands to elbows and back and an up push up position where you are also lifting hand weights and doing leg raises. And did I mention the jumping jacks and boxing while holding weights?

    Halloooo,

    reckon I just finished day 5 level 3, I feel good, I still can't get over just how much sweat drips off of my face and onto the carpet during the last circuit, it's almost like a small stream, I'm seriously considering laying down a towel ha ha :-(.

    I don't know what clicked into place but since I started shredding, I've really been feeling a sense of "embracing the pain" so to speak (I still drop back to modified moves when I feel I need to but) overall, I'm really enjoying this shredding business, even the burning biceps at the end of level 2 (although I loathed them for the first few days).

    Yay for strength. Level 2ers, hang in there, you will get stronger, and we can take those 5 second breaks Jillian mentions ever so fleetingly.

    Those of you down and out from injury, I feel for you and hope you recover soon.
