Done with today's workout! I took a "rest" day yesterday that wasn't too rest-y since it included an hour of swimming. Back to it today, and the break did make it a little more challenging. I feel sooo much better once I'm done though.

P.S. Want to see another side of Jillian? I came across this story: http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/jillian-michaels-helps-rescue-racehorse-bound-for-slaughter-2012194 Apparently she's a horse lover and saved a racehorse that was going to be killed. As an animal person, that made me so happy! I mind being yelled at not to quit a little less now. :)

    Day 8 down! I added extra stretching, but I realized I really really do need to add extra warm-ups. I know it. And get up early enough to eat first... I still can't make it through the first cardio circuit without modifications, and it's simple stuff. And by the end I'm flying. Stupid 20-second warm-up, my calves are killing until they get warmed up and stretched out.

    Day 6 done! I hate the first cardio circuit too, but each day I get a little better at it. Hopefully by day 10 I can get the entire workout done. Today was my first day of doing all of the anterior raises!! Yay me!!!

    I missed yesterday because I didn't have the DVD at my dad's with me (and still don't), plus my step brother will not leave the living room which is technically my bedroom when I'm here. I'm putting my foot down today though, I actually MISS my exercise and I refuse to miss another day so he can play Call of Duty. Putting it here so you all have full permission to tell me off tonight if I make more excuses later.

    This probably isn't too helpful since I'm sure we all have our copies of the shred by now, but you can get it on Amazon Instant Video at http://www.amazon.com/Level-1/dp/B00356CO1E/ for cheap ($5 or $10 I think? I already own it, so I can't see the price). The upside is that then you always have it if there's a computer around. You can also watch it on a Playstation (I think) or Roku (this is how I work out). If you want to be *really* fancy, you can even watch it on a smartphone with a little trickery. Never be without it again! :)

    Done! The first cardio circuit is horrible! I feel like the moves I enjoy doing go by so quickly and the ones I hate drag on forever!!

    Done day 5. I'm not sure that this is getting easier yet. I thing I might be squeezing in one or two more pushups, but I hurt just as bad.

    Day 14 done!!! SO glad I bought knee supports before starting, that would be my one tip for anyone... I don't have 'bad knees' or anything but the last time I tried to do this I only got as far as day 8 and had to stop because my knees were so sore! At the halfway point tomorrow, WOOOOOOP!!!!

    Yesterday was hard because I was sore and had no energy, but I'm hoping today will be different.

    Wow, this thread is on fire today. Great work, everyone.

    Level 1, Day 5 completed. I will up my weights to 5# tomorrow. I know that if I want to see a difference, I need to make sure I challenge myself.

    Three pound weights are feeling adequate on the shoulder pull-backs and bicep curls in section 2, and the chest row in section 3. So I will challenge myself to take it up a notch.

    One victory I can definitely state after doing Level 1 five times is that I am stronger.

    Keep up the good work, everybody.

    day 5 done...arms and shoulders are no longer sore. i can keep up with all of the cardio non-stop..but it's the strength and abs circuits that get me. i really need to push thru it to get maximum results. i feel like i can pretty much do this workout on my own without playing it...hahaha. pretty much got the whole thing memorized.

    Good job everyone! Day 5 done and gone baby!

    I agree tho - for me, I can't say I feel any better or that it's easier for me really. I am pushing thru it. Today I did end up turning video on mute and turning my own music on. It worked OK. Only thing that's hard is that I definitely had to keep lifting my head to see if I could stop yet!

    GREAT JOB Everyone!!

    I'm done for today!! Woohooooo!! :) Today I got half way through the second set of push ups and almost ran out of gas so ended the last 10 seconds or so doing girilie pushups LOL I was suprised to see my new toy counted this at 209 calories, I was logging it as circuit training on MFP's count and there is a huge difference between 347 (MFP circuit) and 209 (Polar HRM).
