Today I started the 30 day shred. Wow, it kicked my butt!! Please tell me it will get easier. I feel like such a wuss about it. I've been doing zumba for 3 months so you would think I could handle it but nope. It was hard, very hard for me. Anyone have any advice on that home dvd?

    It won't get easier per se but you'll be better equipped to handle it as it goes on :) Expect to be sore tomorrow and the day after - by day 4 the soreness doesn't seem so bad and you'll be able to get through it easier. Each time you bump up a level it'll get harder too but you can get through it :) 27 days in here.

    Day 4/5 you'll stop hurting so bad. I followed Anita in the beginning, got closer to Natalie toward the end. Definitely still broke a sweat all through til day 30 but I didn't feel like I was going to die after the first week.

    I just started today also. UGH!!! My arms feel like jello and I can feel my butt tightening :sad: I actually had to stop a couple of times and not do all the arm/push ups but I am hopeful that I can get further after a few days.

    My legs felt like jello afterwards. Not to mention I did an hour of zumba last night so Im really sore now. I got to a loss of 10 lbs and then stopped and gained a few. Im determined to get back on track and hope this works.

    Yep, the push ups were HARD for me! I have zero upper body strength at all.

    Yep. Brutal, so brutal every time you start a level, but I find it so encouraging how fast the body can actually change to support it and burn through it. Even when I don't see changes, I know I'm getting stronger and more bad *kitten* when I can realize "wow I did the whole set of plank jacks, I never made it the whole way before!" Stick with it and your body will change. Just gotta force it to like she says, "mind over matter". I usually want to punch her about the time she says that...

    Thanks - I have to wait a bit because I'm healing a broken wrist and I can't put my whole body weight on my left arm yet, but I copied the urls onto a word file for September.

    I am relatively new to MFP. Joined awhile ago but I have been traacking religiously for only about a week or so now. I am going to start JM 30 Day Shred on Monday. So my question is what do you measure before/during/after to gauge your results?
