    Hi all! I technically started the Shred in mid-January, but the flu knocked me out for a few weeks and I'm just getting back on track.

    I started with the full seven days of L1 before I got the flu, and I just want to encourage everyone to push through the initial muscle soreness and pain, ESP if like me you are just starting to work out again after a few months... It hurts, but now that I've been trying L2 I can see a huge difference in my ability to push through.

    This is me as well, but it wasn't the flu, it was a baby who decided not to nap any longer! Was it easier when you restarted than when you initially did? I'm wondering if I've lost any endurance I had gained.

    The initial first five days of the Shred were torture, a and I was so sore I was crawling up the stairs... When I restarted, I was already conditioned past that and experienced very minor soreness the day after working out after being off for two weeks, so I imagine could be similar... It really is so effective that I'm sure it does change your body in such a short time that you can retain some of that endurance

    I've tried a few times in the past, but I never make it past level one. I'm excited to try again and use this for some motivation and accountability! I'm determined to do the whole 30 days this time!

    It all depends on fitness level. I am using 5 & 3 lbs most I can do with 5 maybe heavier(don't have any yet) but some like the shoulder raises I switch to the 3lbs cause they are killer.

    I was far too excited to start tomorrow, so I did it about half an hour ago, and I already feel so much better!
    I'm so psyched to see the results! (:

    Half way through workout on Day Two and feeling a difference, my stomach is tighter? :D

    You've got this! Starting is always the hardest, but I promise after a couple days it'll get easier!

    And in 30 days you'll be really glad you didn't give up!

    Just finished my first day! Started it a few months ago, but never finished the first part. Hopefully, I will finish this time with support. Those shoulder raises/lunges almost killed me!
