    I did day 4 today. I wasn't too sore after the first day but after that yes and I am still sore. I am also doing the C25k and walking on the off days! I like having a group of ppl doing the same thing!

    Please everyone get heart rate monitors if you don't already have it. Using MFP logging what they assume you burn is always too high or too low. I used to log my running using their numbers and when I got a heart rate monitor, MFP was always off by 200 calories more than what I actually burned.


    I don't have extra money for a HR monitor at this time. Heck..I only own one sports bra and it needed to be washed this morning so I did without! But I am curious how many calories yours says you burnt. I logged under circuit training for 25 min. I think MFP gave me like 125 calories. I'd love to invest in a monitor one day because I'm so curious.

    I only own one sports bra too and it's getting worn out. The HRM I bought was only like $40 I think, got it off Amazon and it's decent. You put in your weight and height and strap it around ya and it calculates and stores it all for you. Because I kept pausing the screen without pausing the monitor, mine went 33 minutes and at my weight and height I burned 301 calories, but my heart rate also got up to 182 and as low as 125 so it's an awesome thing to invest in because if you're doing cardio you really don't want your heart rate to get up too high for too long.

    Did it for a 8 days in October, then quit. Started last week but quit again. Started today again, and determined to stick to it this time. Struggling a lot with the pushups.

    Completed day 1 last night, yipee for me!! I'm a little sore today between the shoulder blades, but I use 10lb weights so that is probably why. I did bootcamp till about mid-March so I need something heavier for the lifting. I didn't like the push ups, but I don't know who does.

    Looking forward to day 2 tonight.

    This is my second time doing 30DS, so I figured it would be a piece of cake...haha...WRONG! It was definitely easier than last time in the sense that I am able to do the exercises better and didn't have to stop in the middle of exercises...but it still kicked my butt and had my legs shaking by the end of it! I'm sooo glad this is still a challenge because I love this workout and it really does "shred" fat!!


    Oh, and I noticed that some of you mentioned getting bored...I never listen to Jillian...she will bore you to death!! Mute her and turn on some upbeat tunes and you will love it! :)

    Today, D1, was awesome! I'm a little sore, and I expect it will be much worse tomorrow (takes me about 24 hours to feel sore from a workout). My legs are already sore (from a move I enjoy and add to the Shred that JM does in another DVD). The lunges were the worst part for me, but I know they will be a cinch in about 6 days time. :laugh:

    Ruby, when I first did the Shred I couldn't do a SINGLE real push up. But the end I could do about 5 in a row! Today I was able to do about 6 or 7 before switching to my knees. My record is 13 in a row. You will get there in time!

    I just completed day 1 at level 1. That was a pretty good workout for 20min. What's the plan with this video? I don't want to invest in the online training thing. Does anyone else pay for that? How many days a week am I supposed to be doing this video? The push-ups are the worst for me. I can only do 7 girl push-ups lol. It's ok I'm super impressed with my self to even do that many. I can't wait till I can do 1 full push up.
