    Is that everyday? Are you going to do it along with the C25K program? I can't remember if I have that one or not... Will have to unpack those boxes today!

    Yes, I think it's supposed to be everyday. I decided this morning to dust off the DVD and commit the 20 minutes to it. It's intense but I was reading about everyone's results and I got motivated. I have been really trying to mix things up with exercises. My plan is to continue the C25K 3 days per week (most likely Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday--because that's the schedule you are on, right?) and then try to do this every day until August 26 and see where I am at.

    I know that when school starts back up, along with all the activities, I won't have the time to go to the gym like I do now. I am just trying to find something I like -- and that I will be able to stick with. I like doing the weight lifting at the gym and Adam's being helping me figure out how I can do some of that here at the house (he has weights). I just want to keep working towards my ultimate goals!

    I am hoping to loose 20 pounds by my 100th day on here. The way I figured that out is, starting with July 15 -- my first "official" weigh in, I counted 100 days, which puts me at October 22. I have already lost 4 so I am basically "ahead" of schedule...if I keep things up. I think this "schedule" of goals is slow but I would rather be "ahead" than behind...because then I get discouraged. :)

    That's a long way of saying, "Yes", I am going to do this along with the C25K plan. I also am going to continue to do the weights 3 times per week at least until school gets back to session (August 17th for me).

    :) Unpack those boxes and do it with me :)

    MISS YOU!

    I started 30 day shred a week ago and am loving it. I'm also starting c25k this week as well. I started this earlier this year but didin't finish it before I went on holiday so now need to start again. I can't believe how much fitness I lost with the month off schedule! But keen to get back into things now.

    Can you still get the 30DS at Costco? I want to start it Monday and used to own it but an old roommate walked away with it. Just wondering if anyone knows. We can kind of do it together!

    I'm starting today also. I would love to have others help me with motivation. I did this last year between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Worked well for me at the time. Then I started P90X Lean for about a month in a half. Came down with a respiratory illness and haven't been able to get motivated to strength train since them. I lost 35 lb between Halloween and March.... now I have gained half of it back. Time to get disciplined again.

    I just did day 1 of level 1 this morning after finally getting the DVD in the mail yesterday. I've found that I'm more likely to stick with an exercise routine if I give myself Fridays and Saturdays off, so I'll be doing 5 days a week, which will stretch the entire program over 6 weeks.

    I'm proud of myself for pushing through my first workout. It was tough, and I had to pause once to move my baby from the floor to her jumperoo and get a drink of water, but otherwise I stuck with it. The jump ropes kill me for some reason. I also didn't have weights so I didn't get the most out of the arm exercises but I still felt it.

    I took pictures and measurements a few days ago, so I can't wait to compare when I finish the program. I'm near my goal weight but skinny-fat, so I'm not sure exactly what my weight needs to be for me to look like I really want to look. I also have a routine physical scheduled in late August so I'm really curious to see how that goes.

    I also started yesterday. And just finished day two. I seriously HATE all the jumping jacks, that is the part I have the hardest time with! But only 28 more days to go!

    Day 2 done. OMG its hard I am VERRRRRY out of shape with almost a hundred pounds to lose. I have a hard time with the Jumping Jacks as well but I managed to do ONE 30 seconds rep with out stopping today.

    When I was done I jumped into the pool and swam laps for 15 min. I feel amazing. I'm glad to have somewhere to report and keep me motivated. WTG everyone .:smile:

    Level 1 Day 1 complete. I too despise jumping jacks but I was impressed with myself that I could still do them since I haven't done any since I last did the shred last December.

    I will join in as well, I started the Shred yesterday and am so sore today, but I did feel great afterwards.
  • I am starting tomorrow, too. I get bored with doing 1 workout everyday. I do 30 day shred 3x a week with 2 days of turbo kick or turbo fire and 1 day of Zumba. I am a Zumba instructor, so I am also practicing a little everyday.

    I'm going to start today. I usually only do it 5 days a week.

    For a PP: I normally count it as circuit training.

    I'm logging mine as 20 minutes of circuit training, it comes out to be around 175 calories for me.

    I'll be doing day 2 of level 1 after work today. My legs are pretty sore but everywhere else I'm okay. I was expecting to be sore all over after day 1.
