    I haven't done the video for 3 days, but my shower head is busted and have to use my parent's shower across the street until they replace the broken one in my apartment which they own. I'll start up doing it again tomorrow, but I might not be able to do it every day like I wanted to.

    You are welcome to join! This is pretty informal: we are just cheering one another on!
    I did L1D3 today. So you aren't all that far behind. I, like some others,. are mixing Shred up with some other workouts and not doing it every day. I've been doing Walk Away the Pounds videos on my off days.

    I had to start doing static jumps instead

    Hi Sue,

    Could you explain what a static jump is? I'm thinking I need a lower-impact type of jumping jack (at least for now!) because of old leg injuries.
    Would these be lower impact?

    Thanks,
    Kathy

    Level 1 day 4 done! Wasn't loving it today... I think I am having a difficult time transitioning back to a normal work day (I'm a teacher and have been off for 2 1/2 weeks!) Shred again tomorrow and then Couch to 5K running program on Thursday.

    april - thanks for the post - I just started the shred and was wondering if anybody else did more than one workout at a time. I usually work out for longer so while the 20 minutes is certainly intense - I kind of felt like I was just getting warmed up. (Even though my body told me different the next day! :ohwell: ) Anybody else doing more than one at a time??

    You are welcome keep up the good work! I did C25K last night but am choosing a break night tonight. TOM tomorrow and am so sore right now... I will get back on tomorrow with C25K and jump back with the Shred. Good luck everyone - Going to watch Biggest Loser tonight. Can't wait to see this new season!

    Ok...so I did L1D1 on Monday...it's now Wednesday morning and I can still barely walk...my quads are on FIRE! LOL Not to mention my butt cheeks....that's Jillian! I LOVE the DVD, but I think it's going to take me a lot longer than 30 days...I can't make it everyday with my work schedule right now...and the fact that I'm going to be traveling a LOT these next three months.

    Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and see how everyone else felt after their first day. I consider myself to be somewhat physically fit...so was anyone else completely SORE the first day after doing it? :) I wish you all the best of luck on this journey...sorry I'm starting a little late!

    :smile: Of course!:smile: The more the merrier!:flowerforyou:

    We're a pretty informal group here. Some of us are doing te Shred every day and others (like me!) are doing it every other day with different workouts in between. This is mainly for support and encouragement and everyone is welcome.

    May I join this group? I have completed two days of Jillian and I am feeling it...so sore, but that's good.

    I lost 23 pounds a year ago through pound plunge, but have gained nearly all of it back so here I am again. This time, I am determined to lose and KEEP it off!

    :flowerforyou: Welcome, janebo!:flowerforyou:

    I just finished L1D5 and I am feeling it! :smile:

    Unfortunately, I was very stiff this morning (could be the weather, I guess) but I'm loosening up. :happy: The workout and the yoga afterwards really helps!

    Hi Everyone,

    I just started the Shred (L1D2 tonight) and just want to check in and see if those of you who have been doing 3 days of Shred/ 2 days of other Cardio find that this program is working for you. I was so sore after my first try, so it MUST be doing some good. I just like to hear that other people are having success before getting invested in a program.

    Thanks!!

    Well, most of us have just started. For me, I am noticing that my abs feel tighter already (I just did L1D5--Shred3/week, c25k3x/week)--almost like I'm wearing a girdle (remember those!:tongue: )
