Well...step one is complete--I at least brought my treadmill up from the basement and dusted it off. Then I sat on the couch in front of it and watched a bit of tv...

sigh...baby steps, baby steps

Day 30 is today, keeping in mind I haven't been able to do the high impact cardio of level 2 for the last 2 weeks due to injury but I have kept with it (only missed one day out of the 30) and lost a total of 8lbs! I am thrilled with the results and the changes in my body. I haven't attemped level 3 yet as I am nearly healed and want to do level 2 at full throttle a few times first. Will let you all know how I find it. I am now at my goal weight so only need to maintain now. Wahooo! :happy:

I'm joining in here awfully late, I know. I've been doing the shred for about 1.5 weeks, skipping a day here and there but mostly sticking with it. Level 1 was killing me at first, but it's getting easier all the time. The first circuit is the worst for me! The latter 2 I'm OK with (go figure). I've lost a few pounds and I feel like my endurance/strength is improving, but I still don't feel ready to move on to Level 2 yet.

Other than some fairly leisurely biking, I don't do any exercise outside the shred. The weather is still pretty hit-and-miss here in Colorado, but soon I hope to start hiking, plus maybe some running after a LONG hiatus. Yes, I'm a wimp when it comes to outdoor exercise.

Aside: Aren't Anita's abs amazing (she's the one doing the modified form of the exercises)? Such a motivator! I have a feeling I've got to do WAYYYY more ab work than what's on the DVD to get abs like that, tho. :laugh:

Well, so much for that plan. I did the shred for 7 days straight...6 at level 1, 1 at level 2...and haven't done anything since. That was 2 weeks ago! :sad:
Have to get back on the wagon, but I want something I can maintain...I love the 20 min, but I'm not sold on this 30 days straight part.

Last night I did level 3 for the first time, I was scared about giving it a go as I have been doing level 2 for 3 weeks solid and L2 didn't seem to be getting easier! In the warm up Jillian says things like this is going to be much harder than L2 etc... I wanted to stop the DVD and go back to L2!
I am pleased I didn't as it was not as bad as I thought, oh yeah, it kicks butt but in some ways it seemed a little easier than L2 but I was sweating much more. The 20mins of L3 seemed to go much faster than L2 and I feel really good today. I have lost weight, feel great and my body has never been so toned, in just 5 weeks I look completely different and my husband said last night he wishes he had taken a 'before' photo of me as he can not believe the difference in my problem area which has always been butt & thighs. How is everyone else getting on?

Well i ordered the dvd and will start when it gets here. I do have one question - and this may be obvisous but how do you list it under the exercise tab?

That wasn't at all obvious to me. I list one shred workout as 10 mins of cardio + 10 mins worth of strength exercise, which I estimated as 20 sets of 15 reps, using the weight of my hand weights (3, in my case). I know that's playing fast and loose, particularly because there's less than 10 mins of cardio in one workout. But it's probably close enough.

Cheers! :drinker:

I've just been listing it as 20 min cross training. I don't have a heart rate monitor, but given my exertion level, I'd say the 200 calories is pretty close.
