    Didn't do day D3L1 yesterday, I figured by staying under my calorie goal and the 2 hours of walking taking my little one trick or treating would be a nice off day.

    I AM SO SORE... in my armpit area??lol anyone else feel that there?

    Anyway, happy and motivated to start day D3L1 today :)

    Yes! The muscles (whatever they are) between my pits and my boobs. It's those damn pushups! My quads hurt like haitis too!

    Way to go everyone!

    I was going to do day 4 of level 1 today but I had a fitness assessment last night at my local rec centre and it was one tough workout! She put me through much of the same exercises as the shred: squats, push ups, sit ups, running on the treadmill (a mile and a half - alot for someone who doesn't run!). Anyway, she advised me to take a day off the shred so I'll get back to it tomorrow. Looking forward to it! I'm loving that I can feel the muscles are much harder in my quads and my shoulders are showing some definition - woohoo!

    Well done all!

    Hello, my name is Carla. I am doing the 30 say shred (as well as I can). Day 1 was yesterday, and oh my, how sadly out of shape I am! Today, my shape feels like melted candle wax, just puddled there where I dropped in bed last night....to say I'm sore would be a bit of an understatement-it even hurts to type....very sad, I know. I have committed to trying to do this everyday, so, I will give it a go today again. Everybody starting out, let's keep on going!

    Did it! Really didn't want to, but didn't do any exercise yesterday, so I've made up for it with the shred and running, feel much better now :)

    How many days is everyone planning on staying on one level? I was going to do 10 days because of how sore I was. I did day 1 and 2 on Monday and Tuesday, then got busy Wed and Thurs so tonight will be day 3. I'm also doing yoga.

    Question 2: I am reading alot about adding in cardio. Isn't shred cardio as well? Or is it not enough? Can some please let me know. Thank you.

    Day 5... doing it.
    Worried if I should move to level 2 after D10 if I still can't do all the push-ups?

    I know it's probably just bloat but after a week I did lose 1" off my undertoned waist!

    Thanks for posting it's awesome to see what you all have to say.

    Have a great weekend!

    How many days is everyone planning on staying on one level?
    It's designed so you do each level 10x (so ten days no including rest days)

    Question 2: I am reading alot about adding in cardio. Isn't shred cardio as well? Or is it not enough?

    Yes the shred is also cardio, and for me it gets me worked up almost as much as my 5k runs! I haven't really added in any extra cardio, actually I haven't run since I started it so I guess I'm doing less, but my results so far have been great. If you feel up to and want to add in cardio then all it can do is help, but if you don't feel up to it what you're doing alone is enough to see results.


    Well ladies, I've just completed day 8 of level 1 and feeling pretty pleased, I'm away for two nights now so tomorrow (Sunday) will be a rest day and I'm *hoping* my MFP friends will kick my butt if I don't do day 9 when I get back on Monday night. Happy shredding!

    Day 5, done. I had kind of an accidental rest day yesterday. I didn't get my workout in in the AM, then somehow it was 10pm and I never did it. Ooops!
  • Level 1 day 5 and still standing. Also did 40min Jackie Warner circuit.

    I did L1D1 yesterday and my actual glutes are killing me today. I can feel each torn muscle fibre, it's pretty bad. So today I'm resting and trying not to feel guilty about that.

    Hard to believe I'm already into it a week (7days) only 3 more and on to Level 2.. I also did 1/2 of P90x Plyo (I REALLY LOVE THAT VIDEO)

    Tomorrow I add a little weight lifting, and Sunday I stick to only 30DS and take the day off easy :)

    Happy Weekend Everyone!

    Keep up the GREAT work and DEDICATION

    Day 2 was a little tougher as far as keeping my energy up. I didn't get home from a work function until around 10:30 last night, so from now on I know don't save the workout for 11 pm haha. I really do feel like it's getting my heart rate up and making me sweat in a short time. Have a great weekend!
  • I started L1D1 this morning. Feeling good to actually start. Was supposed to start on Monday but kept on putting it off. Looking forward to D2!

    Just finished day 6 of level 1 30DS. Not as tired anymore and not sore. My scale not moving but lost 4 cm around my waist! So thrilled!!

    This is my second time of doing 30 DS after not working out in months. I had awesome success when I did it in June so I am trying it again with heavier weights this time.

    But I am third-day sore and trying to get motivated to do the third day!

    Level 1 day 3 done. The worst day so far but i think i can keep it up. If anything, its the pushups that will be my downfall, thank god its at the beginning not the end!

    Way to stick with it everyone!!! Congrats on inches and weight losses too!!!

    Just did day 4 of level 1. Better than the first couple of days but looking forward to feeling like I'm nailing it all the way through.....maybe by day 7 or 8...?

    Happy Saturday:)
  • Day 6 level 1. Not really sore anymore except my quads are a little sore but in a good way.

    Finished level one on Friday after doing it 10 straight days. I did it the same time everyday to give my muscles 24hrs of recovery time. Decided to take one rest day on Saturday. And I will start level two later today. There are several plank moves, some I've done before and some I haven't, so kinda nervous. Plank exercise are no joke!

    Finished day 6 of level 1 yesterday and things have definitely gotten a lot easier. After reading a bunch of comments on another board about level 2, I'm nervous about moving up in the next few days :0. However, I've lost 3 lbs and am excited about continuing the progress...

    So I'm on Day 9, I felt more aches today so maybe because I'm "bringing it" more.. But still not weight loss or inches lost.. I'm eating better, and have cut out a lot of junk I was eating before.. Also drinking WAY more water than I had been, so hoping I see some changes soon!! Starting Monday I'm planning on really getting into it! Plus start Level 2!!! Great job on keeping with it everyone!!
