Hi Everyone..

Didn't get to post here for a few days.. but i've been working out..
This am i did level one.. and this pm after joggina a mile outside, i got this crazy " adrenaline " rush and energy high.. so i got the crazy idea of doing level 2 .. and i did it.. level one and level 2 in one day .. :drinker: celebrating

Well.. level 3 is still going to wait.. i want to be able to do some real push ups.. etc.. but i have noticed a lot of progress esp. in strength.. and i haven't finished 30 days yet..

I can't wait to do 30 days like i originally had in mind.. 10 level one 10 , level 2, 10 level 3.. no breaks in between.. - that's what i thought that dvd is about when i got it , but when i saw and " felt " the level one.. i quickly forgot about that idea

Count me in. Just let me know how to go about it. Thanks:flowerforyou:

Hi I'm new here! Mind if I join in?? I've been doing the Shred Level 1 yesterday and today. I'm all up for a goal!

I totally need the motivation (that's my weakest area). My arms are killing me today and my thighs but I'm going to stick it out and do it again tomorrow and Friday. I'll take Sat. and Sun. off. I might try Level 2 on Wednesday depending on my body. Ha! Now that I think about it, I might even do them this weekend.

Here's my stats:

Weight Monday: 137
Goal Weight by Feb 23rd: 130

Really I just want to get more tone and a shape to my dumpy body. I want to lose inches not so much pounds.

Hey everyone! So I just bought the shred dvd today so I plan on starting tomorrow!

My stats:
Weight now: 291 lbs
Goal weight by end of 30 days: 281

I look forward to checking in with everyone each week cause I can definitely use the motivation!

I just got mine inthe mail today from target.com!!! I had the dvd out of the box practically before I got back in the house...ran upstairs to pop it in and shredded away! It was good. There were a couple of times I thought..."I'm tired." Morning will tell if worked out hrd enough, I'm sure.

Does Level 2 & 3 really get much more challenging???

two is harder.. and 3 i'm not even brave enough to try yet !..

jljohnson

I'm going to join you guys! I found the videos on YouTube, so I'm going to try to do it from there. It sounds like people are getting good results from this, so I'm excited. I feel like I'm at a bit of a plateau, and I'm hoping this will kick-start things again for me. I'll be watching for the link to the check in thread on Monday.

Hey everyone! So I just finished day 1 level 1 and wow that kicked my butt. I feel achy all over lol. It really made me realize how out of shape I am.

I found myself struggling through certain parts of it and not being able to finish. I was wondering if anyone else had that problem? And if so, how long did it take before you could do it the whole way through without stopping?

Noraavon

I started the 30 Day Shred and definitely have a hard time with level 1!!! I found by the fourth day I could get through it a little easier. Stick with it!!

Summarain

My first time doing it I didnt even finish the whole way through, i felt like such lazy bum! Anyway, I ached for like 3 days after I did it the 2nd time. I gave myself a little time off for my muscles to calm down and then I got back on it. Now I have been doing it every day and I dont ache anymore (well i didnt do it last night....bad me!) I am going to continue to do it throughout the month, hoping to do it every day. My only delima now is this freggin "time of the month" makes me not want to do anything! :mad: I'm hoping that I can just create the willpower to get up and do it! I'm thinking I should start doing it in the morning, but of course i'm soooo sleepy these days so its hard to make myself get up.

So how is everyone doing since it's Friday?? I feel like I have a ton more endurance through Level 1 now. That makes me happy! I was SUPER sore yesterday before I did it again. But this morning I feel absolutely great! I hope this continues.

duffyzmom

Level 1 is definitely more doable now. I was so proud today I did 8 push-ups without modification before I had to switch to knees. I think I will do level 1 one more time and then next week I'm bumping it up to level 2.

SAME HERE! I did Level 1 today (3rd time this week, 6th time overall), and I noticed a huge change in my endurance. And I could do all the push-ups w/o stoping for a rest. I'm think about doing it tomorrow and then see how i feel and I might move on to level 2 next week! I'm less and less sore, but i have also been doing extra stretching b/c i feel my thighs burning thru most of the DVD.
Keep up the good work!

I just started the 30 Day shred today on level one. I have attempted to start the 30 day challenge on my own about 2 different times, went strong for a week then stopped. I would love to start the shred with you all and get more focused. I will start my day one today but still check in on Mon. Its great to hear so many of you all who really feel this dvd, I know I do! Here is my official check in to start.

Current Weight: 145
Goal: 125 (By Feb 30!)

At level one I def. feel my body working, I got a Polar F4 for xmas this year and it really helps me calculate my exact calorie burn. I wonder, the times past when I worked out it was for a longer period of time, the 20 min shred feels great, especially after I see that i've burned +-280 cal. But I still feel like I should work out for longer. Has anyone incorporated levels one and two? Or done Level 1 twice?

Ok...so I have ot admit that the first day I really didn't feel anything...not sore, nada. I;m not saying it wasn't challenging, just saying Level One didn't do it for me the first day. PLEASE DO NOT HATE ME....because all of a sudden Day 2 hit me with a vengence. Oh..my achy breaky body!!!!! Anyone else start to feel it later?

That same thing happened to me!!! But then day 3 and 4(today) are way better. I think it's just our bodies saying "hey what the heck is going on here". I think it gets better and then once we get to the not sore hardly at all point, is when I plan on switching to Level 2.

I fast forwarded through level 2 and 3 today just to see what was up with them. They do look challenging but doable definitely. I think my biggest weak point is push ups. I hate them! Anyone else?? I'm finally to the point that I can do them all through level 1 but that's it.

duffyzmom

Push-ups are the worst for me too. I still can't do them unmodified through the whole circuit but switch to modified as soon as I can't go any longer.

Mickie17

I just got done with my 3rd attempt. My hardest part are the jumping jack and the lunges...it's absolutely KILLING my knee. I was just telling my husband that I'm going to have breakdown and totally modify those.

Do your knees hurt too?

Also, does anyone know how to list this as exercise onthe exercise log? General Aerobics just doesn't seem like enough...but maybe it is. ??????

Hi I log as circuit training. I have just finished day 6 and it is rest day tomorrow and yeh I did 3 proper push ups and nothing else is modified I dont feel like I am going to die anymore but I can feel I am working out.

Gonna spend next week trying to build up to full time of un modified push ups then move onto level 2.

Mickie17 maybe you should wear a knee support as I dont think modifying jump jacks would give you the desired effect I certainly would try the support first with the lunges make sure you are doing them with the correct form keeping the knee at 90 degree above the foot.

yeah tomorrows a rest day woo hoo.

I think you're right Tazzy...I had recontrcutvie surgery a year ago, and I'm not allowed to play sports without my brace, but, to be honest, I am SOOOOO lazy about putting on my brace wehn it comes to an exercise workout. And I agree, I probably won't get the results I need if I modify jjacks etc. The lunges, however, I am going to modify, I'm going to go for a squat instead...thoughts on that????

I did it! I got back on the shredding wagon! I modified most of the leg stuff yesterday and did it again today. I feel so much better.

To answer the question someone asked earlier...I felt great the first time I did it and when I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the potty, I felt like I was getting punk'd. I couldn't hardly walk! It was awful...but yesterday and today I feel good. Not so sore. I'll keep going like this for a week and then keep on with level 1 unmodified for at least the week after that.

Now, to kick the diet pop habit!!!

That's hysterical....what a great analogy (getting punk'd)!!! :laugh: You just made my day, because I can soooooooooooooo relate!

duffyzmom

Mine wasn't getting up in the night but going down the stairs the next day! It reminded me of running long distance - I had to turn around and go down backwards because my quads were on fire. Good luck to Tara on kicking the dietpop habit!. I quit buying my diet coke so now I only splurge when out. Although I'm telling you some days I feel like a junkie - I'm dieing for my 3 pm diet coke fix. I've switched to green tea.

Off to do my pre game workout.
