    Hi,

    I'm not entirely sure I am doing this right but...
    Weight 226lb
    waist 40in
    Hips 47in
    Chest 37.5
    Thigh 28

    I've included a thigh measurement as I've taken up running, so I want to see how much difference that will make!

    its a dvd by jillian michaels designed to help you "shred" aka burn fat in a short amount of time while also toning your muscles like back and arms by using weights. (30 days and 20 minute sessions) with her 321 strength, cardio and abs workout. all this talk got me excited ima start now lol good luck guise

    Day 1 Level 1 complete! I can't help but be a bit discouraged. I completed the shred last month in 35 days, but I was only using heavy water bottles for my weights, so this time around I'm using the only weights I have (5 lbs) and OMG it seems so much harder than the first time around!! Lol, the side lunges with arm raises on the last circuit kicked my booty (or my arms, rather) for sure! Happy shredding to everyone starting today.

    im with you!!! lol using the same 3 pound weights as last time but this time does seem a bit harder o_o i think thats the good thing about this program. after finishing it we didnt just adapt totally so we can get a good workout again. my legs are burning! hope everybody else had a productive workout :)

    I'm curious, do you do 10 days at level 1, then move up? Or do you alternate?

    @amcnulty

    Some things are much harder for me with weights than others. Bicep curls and overhead presses I can use more weight than Lateral raises, and if memory serves, Jillian does a LOT of lateral raises in level 1. So, my advice would be to keep your 5s *and* your water bottles handy, and switch out as needed. :)

    Good luck everyone! I know I need the motivation of the group, cos after this morning I'm in pain!!

    its recommended to change levels when you feel you are comfortable with your current one. but i believe 10 days is enough time. so it would be

    10 days level 1

    10 days level 2

    10 days level 3..some people will have a rest day(which you should) so adjust it to your own needs. may be easier or harder depending on your own body. goodluck if u dont finish in 30 days exactly dont stress it.
