30 day shred begining 1-1-10

i feel so guilty i have to skip a day am way too sore i think i might head to the gym and just walk out some of the stiffness

Don't feel guilty. The first day I actually did level 1 it took me 4 days to recover. Then I did it again and it got easier. On January 1, I joined in on the new challenge and it gets easier each time. Good luck.

Sorry guys...No Shred for me today. I did 35 minutes of elliptical, the Nautilus circuit and 13 minutes of jogging. I am pooped. I will get back to the Shred tomorrow. Hope everyone else got it done today. See you tomorrow.

L1D6 done! A little tough today - but I didn't get a lot of sleep and am probably a bit dehydrated. I got through it, though, and felt better during the 3rd circuit.

Crap!!! Missed yesterday, had to go grocery shopping... Day 3 today!!!!!

Hi everyone...I;m on day 4, but went to level 2....My hubby is doing it with me and level 1 wasn't as challenging soooo we went to level2...it was sooooo much harder so we will stick with lv2 for the16 days then go to lv 3.....

L1D4 DONE!!!!

My body doesnt seem to be hurting as much. Ive done it 4 days in a row (on level 1). Hope Im doing it properly!!!

Hey guys what are you putting into your exercise tracker for the 30day shred? I would like to know about how many calories it is burning. Thanks

oh yah did my third day of the shred and it seemed easier woo hoo !! Go me

All of you are doing so good Keep it up !!

Someone suggested that I count it as circuit training. For me the 20 minutes burns about 214 calories.

Is there more than one version? I saw one that said like 2007? Wasn't sure what to get.

There is only one 30 Day Shred that I know of...

I am in like flint! :laugh: I finished L1 D 4 yesterday!!
Are you guys doing this everyday? Are you taking any breaks? Doing something different on alternate days?
The reason why I'm asking is, I have done the shred straight for 4 days and then I also went to the gym last night for another 2 hours of intense workout... I kinda feel like my muscles need a rest... I was thinking about doing some lighter cardio, like my hip hop abs are something... Just curious on how you guys are doing this...
I was wanting to do 10 days with each level... AHHHH.... I'm just not sure what to do... I don't want to OVER DO it and hurt myself...

I'm feeling the same way you are. I am also doing the gym 2 to 3 days a week and the couch to 5 K program. I wasn't sure if I should be doing this every day or not. I had to take a break earlier in the week after I went to the gym because my body was too sore. I guess I'll just take it one day at a time and see how I feel. Good luck!

L1D7 done! Has it really been only a week? It felt good today...I may do it again this afternoon (going out tonight to Claim Jumper, which is *impossible* to eat light at, then to the bar :drinker: !).

That plus shoveling again this morning...I am a machine! :mad:

I'm starting the C25K program when it warms up.... I'm excited about it... My hubby is going to do it with me :happy:

Hello all............I have been doing 30 day shred for over 14 days and I'm seeing huge improvements. I am now able to do some of the exercises where i was doing the less impact type. I can now do male push ups, and plank jacks etc etc........I think it is boosting my metab. a bit too..........I did take 2 days off, one day I did a 2 hour spin class and the other day i did a cardio kick boxing class and was sooo sore, so I skiped.

This is my very first post which I am usually just a reader! I am shredding four to five days a week with cardio every day but Sunday. I, like many of you, are wondering if you should be doing it every day cuz now that I am on L2 it seems intense on your leg workout and always thought you should not work the same muscles two days in a row?? I have seen the difference in measurements but not in weight, in fact I have gained two lbs. Yikes! Please let me know your thoughts.

I am on L1D7 and it is getting easier. I am doing the gym 2 days a week and trying to stick with the couch to 5K program. I work full-time and it is hard for me to get it all in. I always heard you shouldn't work the same muscles 2 days in a row and my husband doesn't think it is a good idea. I missed yesterday to go shopping with my step-mom so I will get started back today. I lost 1 pound this week and my measurements have decreased slightly. I think I am going to go back to doing the Shred on my jogging days and skipping it on my gym days, which would put me at every other day instead of every day. That way I will give my body time to recover in between. Good luck.

I went ahead and took a break yesterday from the shred... My muscles were just too sore... I will get it in today thought... It will be L1 D5 for me...
