KEEP IT UP LADIES!!!!

L1D5 COMPLETE!

Liopleurodon

Well I've done my first five days now and bizarrely I'm feeling more energetic this morning than usual. Could just be a freaky day - I'm not a morning person. Also conscious that I appear to have muscles in my shoulders - never noticed those before.

jonzo21

This morning will be day 5 for me, It's definitely gotten less painful. I cant stand those weight exercises at the end though where you bend to the side and lift weights up to eye level. How is level 2? Is it more horrendous strength moves or are they equally as challenging or what?

Liopleurodon

For five days my calves have hurt like *****monsters of doom. Today I woke up and big calf muscles have suddenly appeared where there were NONE yesterday. WHAT MANNER OF WITCHCRAFT IS THIS?

gottaloveit7771

So on my work out yesterday I decided to up my weight on some of the exercises! I was sweating BULLETS by the end! I didn't realize that using more weight would make my body go nuts, lol. I still use 3 lbs on the squat and press, and the side lunge and raises. I use 5 for all the others. I wasn't really getting a burn in my arms at all. My legs were killing me, but my arms wasn't getting a good work out, so that is why I upped it! I was hopping for some burn this morning but still nothing. I wonder if its because we aren't working out the same muscle in our arms for very long so it doesn't have time to really hurt? I don't really want to up it to 10 lbs (I don't want to have to buy them) but I also really want to feel it What do you guys suggest?

**Awesome work ladies!! We are ROCKING this shred

PS if you have skipped a few days and feel like you can't hop back on bored you are WRONG!! It's better to miss a few and keep going, then to quit all together. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

PSS My muscles are popping up out of no where too! So crazy how this works so quickly

I have heard that level 2 is more awkward? But not really harder... No sure I get what people mean. I also hate the side lunge things at the end, but I realized I was doing them wrong! She says to stick your but out, and I was keeping it tucked in and it was really hard to lunge, keep my balance AND lift the weights, haha. Once I stuck my but out (tail bone to the wall) it was SOOO much easier to push through the exercise. Just a tip if you are like me and doing them wrong!

jonzo21

I think I may be doing them wrong also. I'll have to try to stick my butt out more on them tomorrow and see.

on a side note, I started with 5lb weights and it was really hard at first. Not as bad anymore (except those side lunges, guess I dont have enough arm muscles, I have to skip a few lunges during the workout) and my arms are shaking afterward. But I don't really get that burn either, and I'm too chicken to increase the weight haha

never too late to get started

I weighed myself today and have gained 4lbs... I had one off day at my cousins wedding when it came to food, but other than that i've been good... I see people mostly losing weight with this video, and I know you gain weight with muscle mass but seeing the scale go up is kind of disappointing... and yes I've been taking measurements and there's no real changes yet. Was reading something on livestrong.com about inflamed muscles absorbing water so hopefully thats all it is

Liopleurodon

I haven't seen the scale move this week, but I'm aware that strange things are happening to my muscles. Even if they're not yet building new tissue they're filling up with fluid or something. So I think I'm still losing fat but the scale isn't showing it yet. That's what I think anyway.

weimawhat

L1D3 completed! I can't believe that I'm still doing it. My feet and thighs are killing me but I like seeing the scales finally going down.

Good job meow keep up the excellent work!

Good job meow keep up the excellent work!

Thanks sweetie

L1D6 COMPLETE!!

I can see so much definition in my arms it is INSANE!! I also feel a ton of muscle in my legs too. This one was a little easier to do. I only paused twice for like 2 seconds to catch my breath. I think this is the first one tho that I made it through all the cardio with out stopping. YAY!

FYI don't forget we are probably putting on some muscle weight too! And that weighs more then fat, so that could be a reason why you see an increase in weight too!

**KEEP IT UP!! You are all doing wonderful

I started late so this morning was L1D1 and I cussed out that dvd through the whole thing. Holy moly that was tough. I'm hoping that as the week goes it gets a little easier.

I feel soooo bad. Didnt shred yesterday. But I am back on it today with level2

EDIT I shredded it at 6:00 am! I prefer a pm workout. But this works alittle better for today happy Tuesday girls. And happy shredding!

As long as you jump right back into it! I'm wondering if I should take a day off before starting lvl 2, I know some people do.

I shredded at 430am today since I had to be up to start getting ready at 5am. It was rough but so far I feel energetic, hopefully I dont get an afternoon crash.

Welcome aboard the shred challenge!! Feel free to post up pics so you can see your changes after each level (and so we can share in excitement with you!). It DOES get easier, I promise. I am still fighting through some of the parts, but I am no longer sore and my endurance is building. Hope that helps give you a little motivation to keep it up!

gottaloveit7771

I don't like working out in the morning! I haven't tried it with the shred yet, but usually anytime I do, I am MORE tired through out the day. I heard it was supposed to give you energy?? Haven't had that happen yet, so who knows!

ImChar

Is it too late to start if I start tonight??

Liopleurodon

I may in some sense have switched on L1D7, got as far as the first cardio, stopped, burst into tears and then ordered a curry. I'm not proud of this but I'm keeping it real on this thread. I have been doing everything perfectly for nearly a month and I think I need a cheat day or I'll go out of my mind. That and having a bad day for other reasons. I promise I'll come back and do it properly tomorrow. You can all come round to my house and give me a good kicking if I don't.

gottaloveit7771

I totally understand needing a break! Relax today, and kick butt tomorrow

**it is NEVER too late to join!! The more, the merrier!! **

Who all is going to get this when it comes out? http://jillianmichaels.shop.sportstoday.com/Dept.aspx?cp=14308_39474
Looks WAY intense!! I dunno if I could keep up with that one, lol!

weimawhat

L1D4 Completed!!! Yea! I didn't know if I was going to be able to make it through because I was aching everywhere but I pushed through it. I'm glad I did. It is getting a little easier to do some of the exercises but I still stink at pushups!

jonzo21

wow that shed and shred video looks real intense... i'll have to see how I perform on the next levels of 30DS before I even consider this one lol

lovecrystaljoy

Its ok I have not for 2 days I dont know if I should start over again with day one or continue and say day 3

I feel soooo bad. Didnt shred yesterday. But I am back on it today with level2

gottaloveit7771

Never before have I wanted to give up so badly. I did not want to work out today. It has been a terrible day. Sad thing is, I pushed through and finished my workout, and I don't even feel proud. I just feel depressed. I hate it when these days come because it is usually the end of something good I am trying to do in my life. I guess I am a little happy I pressed through, but next time I might not be as strong, and want to just give up.

L1D6 Complete.
