i feel so guilty i have to skip a day am way too sore i think i might head to the gym and just walk out some of the stiffness

Don't feel guilty. The first day I actually did level 1 it took me 4 days to recover. Then I did it again and it got easier. On January 1, I joined in on the new challenge and it gets easier each time. Good luck.

Sorry guys...No Shred for me today. I did 35 minutes of elliptical, the Nautilus circuit and 13 minutes of jogging. I am pooped. I will get back to the Shred tomorrow. Hope everyone else got it done today. See you tomorrow.

Today was level 1 day 5. It really is getting easier! I'm not as sore as I was those first few days. I'm going to continue with level 1 for 5 more days then move to level 2.
:happy: Shredding

L1D6 done! A little tough today - but I didn't get a lot of sleep and am probably a bit dehydrated. I got through it, though, and felt better during the 3rd circuit.

tamelab

OK, off to do L1D6 before I eat lunch. I am sore from the gym yesterday so I know today will be hard. Have a great day!


Yeah!! I got it done. I made it through the jumping jack/jump rope cardio without stopping!! I am so excited. I'll probably really be hurting tomorrow but I feel good right now.

Someone suggested that I count it as circuit training. For me the 20 minutes burns about 214 calories.

I'm doing much better than when I started. I will do L1D7 today. I plan to move to level 2 after 10 days on level 1, which is scary because I know it will be so much harder.

Is there more than one version? I saw one that said like 2007? Wasn't sure what to get.

kandyjo

I am in like flint! :laugh: I finished L1 D 4 yesterday!!
Are you guys doing this everyday? Are you taking any breaks? Doing something different on alternate days?
The reason why I'm asking is, I have done the shred straight for 4 days and then I also went to the gym last night for another 2 hours of intense workout... I kinda feel like my muscles need a rest... I was thinking about doing some lighter cardio, like my hip hop abs are something... Just curious on how you guys are doing this...
I was wanting to do 10 days with each level... AHHHH.... I'm just not sure what to do... I don't want to OVER DO it and hurt myself...

There is only one 30 Day Shred that I know of...

kandyjo

Ok, yes, I'm posting again (3 x in a row :laugh: ) But I just read through the other posts and was happy to see that I'm about with you guys on the shred... I didn't want to come in and be way behind...
After much thought, I decided to go ahead and shred today. I'm going to take it easy on the strength part, because I have seriously been working my muscles for the past 5 days... But, I'm going to do it!
Happy Shredding!! :drinker:

I'm feeling the same way you are. I am also doing the gym 2 to 3 days a week and the couch to 5 K program. I wasn't sure if I should be doing this every day or not. I had to take a break earlier in the week after I went to the gym because my body was too sore. I guess I'll just take it one day at a time and see how I feel. Good luck!

This is my very first post which I am usually just a reader! I am shredding four to five days a week with cardio every day but Sunday. I, like many of you, are wondering if you should be doing it every day cuz now that I am on L2 it seems intense on your leg workout and always thought you should not work the same muscles two days in a row?? I have seen the difference in measurements but not in weight, in fact I have gained two lbs. Yikes! Please let me know your thoughts.

mschelle

L1D7 done! Has it really been only a week? It felt good today...I may do it again this afternoon (going out tonight to Claim Jumper, which is *impossible* to eat light at, then to the bar :drinker: !).

That plus shoveling again this morning...I am a machine! :mad:

I always have heard the same thing about working muscles... BUT since the shred isn't extremely intense on the muscles, I wasn't for sure.... I have been doing it every day... I enjoy it and I feel like I'm really accomplishing something.

Hello all............I have been doing 30 day shred for over 14 days and I'm seeing huge improvements. I am now able to do some of the exercises where i was doing the less impact type. I can now do male push ups, and plank jacks etc etc........I think it is boosting my metab. a bit too..........I did take 2 days off, one day I did a 2 hour spin class and the other day i did a cardio kick boxing class and was sooo sore, so I skiped.

I always take one day off a week because I notice that my workouts begin to suffer at the end of the week (shredding everyday + 1hr alternate cardio). Even the biggest losers get 1 day off a week and I think it's pretty essential for weight loss and muscle recovery. If you can do this 30 days in a row with no break, more power to you! I personally think it's healthy and motivating to have a day off a week!!

I am on L1D7 and it is getting easier. I am doing the gym 2 days a week and trying to stick with the couch to 5K program. I work full-time and it is hard for me to get it all in. I always heard you shouldn't work the same muscles 2 days in a row and my husband doesn't think it is a good idea. I missed yesterday to go shopping with my step-mom so I will get started back today. I lost 1 pound this week and my measurements have decreased slightly. I think I am going to go back to doing the Shred on my jogging days and skipping it on my gym days, which would put me at every other day instead of every day. That way I will give my body time to recover in between. Good luck.

My husband and I started it together this past fall. I couldn't run a minute when I started and now I can run for about 20. I call it running but it is really jogging. I only go about 4.3 mph. My husband progressed faster than I did and finished the 5K time in about 10 weeks. He has had two left knee surgeries and is probably going out for the third now. I think he moved too fast for his knee to keep up and now he is out of commission for a while. The doctor says he will be able to run again after they "clean out" his knee. If it were my knee, I would find another sport that is easier on the knees. We'll see.

kandyjo

I went ahead and took a break yesterday from the shred... My muscles were just too sore... I will get it in today thought... It will be L1 D5 for me...

OK, just finished L1D7. I watched level 2 and it looks HARD!! I am sticking here for 3 more days and then I will go to level 2. I definitely am not going to try any other exercise on the same day as level 2 though, don't think I could handle it. Good luck Shredders!
