okay so just done day one of the 30 day shread!

Managed it, mainly modified positions! Will work on improving them! Heart race was up and sweating! Lovely!

Had a heart rate monitor on... But I don't know how to work out how many cals I burned during the work out... Any ideas?

So who wants to do this with me?

    I'll start it again with you, but I have to wait until Monday coz I'm away this weekend getting pampered before Oz! Can't help you on how to work out your calories, I don't have a heart rate monitor. Sorry!

    I burn around 230ish for level one. Depending on how much effort I put in, sometimes nearly 250.

    Yes, I like attempting to beat Natalie's reps! Except the pushups, I have weak wrists and can't do proper ones yet, though I'm trying to strengthen them so I can finally beat her on those as well :devil:

    I'm doing a challenge with other MFP people at the moment, we're on day 5 though a few are on day one as they just got the dvd. Can't wait for level 2 to find out what I burn there.

    I did day 1 yesterday - don't have a HRM but just put it in as general aerobics on here.

    My thighs are sore this morning but all ok otherwise. :) Well done - hope you enjoy day 2.

    Well done!
    Day 2 for me today too, my thighs (quads) were killing me already this morning. Went better today though so thats great news.
    My legs feel like lead now though so will be interesting walking around Uni tomorrow - it's in the Welsh valleys so have lots of stairs inside building and out, might pop an ibuprofen tonight and in the morning to relieve them a little.
    Rest day tomorrow so that'll help.
    Can feel my abs too but not too bad :) really ejoying it and level of sweat is good for me! lol

    I've done 6 days of level 1 so far - it definitely gets easier! Had my first day off today, as I had a really good gym workout. I log it as 20 mins of circuit training, which gives me around 200 cals currently. Good luck keeping it up! :smile:

    Just finished Day 1!

    I can't find the Shred on MFP's Exercise database. I've tried about 4 different ways of writing it but nothing comes up. I must be doing something wrong?

    People seem to be saving it under circuit training!

    I didn't do shread today, had zumba instead! Legs couldn't take both!! Back on it again tomorrow for day 3 at level 1!!

    How's everyone else doing? X

    I just restarted 30DS again--I did day 1 on friday but didnt do it this weekend so I am going to say that I am still on day 1...Today though was easier then is was on friday but I also think that it helped that I knew what was coming up. I chart it under circuit training.... what does some others do??

    It is circuit training, she has said that the 3,2,1 system is circuit training. Since I have a HRM, I made up my own exercise for it and put in how many calories the HRM says I've burned.
