Im feeling it this morning in my legs and arms
im on day 3 today going to give it a go and see if i can do it, its a lot easier for me to do it first thing in the morning as i have a wee bit of spare time before my husband goes to work, lots of people have said it gets better after day 4 or 5 so im hoping thats why day 3 is going to be so hard and then it will get a bit easier

I find the mornings better as well simply because you do it, and you get it over and done with whereas if you do it at night, its easier to come up with excuses or be too tired and you end up falling off the fitness train!0 -
I agree that morning is best. I like the extra boost of energy that a "wake-up-work-out" gives you throughout the day. Plus if you blow it off, then you still have the evening to make it up.0

I usually do mine in the morning, but last night I fell asleep without completing everything I needed to get done for today which leaves me backtracking. After work I WILL complete day 3! I will post again later.0

exactly it might be tough but at least i have done it in the morning and then im not spending the rest of the day trying to fit it in and by night time im so tired i wouldnt be able to do it xx0 -
my arms and calves are sore today. I have to do my Day 3 after work today. Had to be at work extra early today so not enough time this morning. Hope I can get through it. I'm seem to have less um-ph in the evenings AND my muscles are sore!!!

I just put in day 3. at first it seemed easier than day 2-- but half way in, I started sweating harder than the first two days...and my arms are still shaking by the time I get to those side lunge/arm lifts. which I loath. its kicking my *kitten* and I'm still not even using weights!!
I made it through day 3 and actually feel pretty great if not sore and shakey.
it seems by some miracle that I can already see a little tiny bit of definition in my gut too. thats motivation!!!
I'll add weights tomorrow. eep.0 -
Today is day 3 for me but I was too tired to do it earlier this morning before work. I'm going to do it right after work instead. We'll see how it goes. My abs are incredibly sore. Coupled with my coughing and sneezing from seasonal allergies, I'm really feeling it in the abs today! My arms aren't as sore as I thought they'd be, but possibly because I kind of skipped a few moves with the strength training segment of circuit 3.0

I have pulled or strained a muscle in my left arm, where the muscle meets the elbow. However, I'm still going to do day 3. No excuses.
I normally do it about 1.5 after breakfast, but because my boyfriend was here last night and we were lazy and didn't get out of bed before 10am, lol, I'll be doing it tonight.
I've iced the arm and thrown some icy hot on it so I'm confident I'll be okay to do it tonight with minimal pain. And I think I'll find that today is easier than yesterday and definitely easier than day 1, but we'll see.0 -
My workout is done for the day. I've been taking sport legs and it helps A LOT with the burn. Pushing through!0
-
I'm on day 2 and I'm definitely feeling it in my arms and back. Not my legs though...not yet at least. I do it in the morning so I can get it over with lol. Im also starting cardio at night at the gym today so we'll see how i feel in the morning. 0

I'm not a physician but if your elbow is actually pulled you probably shouldn't exert it.
good attitude about no excuses--definitely do your level 1 for the day-- but maybe avoid all the exercises that pull on the elbow and just do cardio or something during that time.0 -

I've been icing it all day, 20 minutes on and 20 off and it's much better than it was this morning. I honestly may have strained it doing shifting planks (my boyfriend was here and I was trying to show him that laying face down is not a plank lol). I'm going to try to do it tonight and if it hurts too bad, I'll stop, but I think I'll be fine. (= Thanks for the concern though.0 -
Day 3 completed, I do not like working out at the end of the day. Today was already a long day and to know that I had to come home to do my normal activities as well as my evening workout was a drag. But, that part is done so there's no use in complaining right (lol, notice I say that there is no use complaining after I've already complained lol) But today went okay, it could have been better, tomorrow I must do the workout in the morning.0

I haven't had much soreness yet, my problem is making it through the workout without collapsing in a spent, sweaty heap. It is getting better, though. 3 down, 7 to go!0
-
RIgght... Day 3.. done and dusted! took a rest day yesterday and that really helped me. Burnt 266cal. i do think that its getting a bit easier(not a lot, very little) but better none the less. Find it hard to do the push ups, those raised lunges and butt kicks, on the positive side, jumping jacks are getting better 0

just going to do day 4 going to try with some heavier weights for some things will let you know how i get on xx 0

Level 1 - Day 3
Just completed my level 1 for today. Taking it better than I expected - I suppose that's my endurance kicking in. By the last round of cardio, I was literally kicking myself in the *kitten* unlike the first 2 rounds where I was keeping it to Anita's level and not really butt-kicking.
Still having some issues with the side lunge which I assume has to do with my posture/form? Is my *kitten* supposed to stick out when lunging? Like doing the dumbbell rolls? So it's bend knee + stick out *kitten* at the same time while bicep-curling?0 -
Shelled-
If your talking about the lunges with bicep curls, you are suppose to keep your front knee stable and do NOT bend over your toes leaving it at a 90 degree angle. The back leg you are suppose to just lift straight up & down getting as close to the ground with your knee as you can without hurting yourself.
Hope that helps! 0 -

yeah i think thats what she is meaning to kinda push your butt out as you go down to the side and raise your arms thats what i try and do anyway , hope that helps 0 -
Level 1 - Day 4
Hmmmm, not that much easier, still can't do even girl push ups and the lunges with the raised arms in circuit 1 still kick my *kitten*! My arms are extremely week! I can't do any of the arm exercises without feeling like my arms are toothpicks that are ready to break! Positive side, ab exercises are definitely getting better! Managed to do the whole set of bicycle crunches without stopping(not that it was easy!!!) never stopped for water today, just stopped twice with those 1st raised lunges. And I may be fooling myself here but I think that the fat just below my boobs is slowly going away! :happy:
So how are you all doing today?0 -
Level 1 Day 5
Feeling good today! Woke up feeling slim so actually quite looked forwards to the shred. I do it in the morning so that I'm burning fat (hopefully!) instead of food.
It's not exactly easier but I'm getting there a little bit at a time. Pushing myself harder. I hate circuit 1, the push ups, jumping jacks and skipping rope jumps are an awful combination. But luckily that gets over and done with quickly!
Really, really wish I could do both full circuits of push ups but I can't. I keep going with normal ones as long as possible and then switch into the easier version. Today I gave up just before the end of the circuit (both times) so hopefully I'll be able to do the full set tomorrow!
Hope it's going well for everyone else 0 -
Day 5 level 1 done !! that first circuit is still killing me but pushing through it and the other 2 seem to be getting better using heavier weights for half of the exercises and was really sweating today looking forward to day 10 to do measurement but then scared for level 2 i have not even looked at it yet , have a great day everyone xx 0

Day 5 Level 1 complete- I'm already really impressed with the improvements I've made. The way the programme is put together seems to really show you how you get a little better each time.
I'm starting to find the cardio easier, although jump rope still makes me very unhappy. I also woke up this morning without any aches or pains for the first time since starting.0 -

Thanks for replying
I was hoping I got it right. Still can't keep up with the video on this because I'm trying to watch my form/posture and not end up taxing my curved spine! 0 -
I just finished L1D8 and for some reason today hurt! I had just been telling my husband how it was getting easier and that I might move up early! Maybe I was just having an off day? Guess I will just wait till day 10 to move up, just to be safe.
Also, anyone else have trouble with the jumping jacks and jump rope because of large breasts? Any suggestions on easing that? I am currently breastfeeding and my boobs are huge, I wear 2 bras but the jumping is killing my back!0 -

I feel your pain! My suggestion is to invest in a super good sports bra. My sports bra is actually too small for me, but it works to my favour. There's still bounce but they're strapped in there as best as they can be!0
