I was thinking about putting off my shred until this afternoon since my period seems to have restarted itself :grumble: and I'm cramping, but as Crystal says:

It is only 20 minutes and I will survive.

Alright JM, I'm coming for ya!!

Just do it! :-)

You guys are such an inspiration!! I just finished Day 5, Level 1... and YES!! I can feel a difference.

I got through ALL my (modified) push-ups today. Still going slow, but didn't have to take any breaks. I can tell that my endurance is better with jumping jacks and such, and I was able to do butt kicks with Cheatin' Natalie today instead of low ones like Anita. I was still switching feet doing jump rope.

Anterior arm raises aren't any easier. I still have to use one weight with both hands, and even put the weight down at the end and just lift my arms.

I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I am super, super stiff. Not from 30DS, just in general. Forget touching my toes- when JM does the cool down stretch at the end, just sitting up straight with my legs out in front of me is painful. Today I did the cool down stretch standing up. I feel like I was able to get in a better stretch without it hurting. Maybe that's why my calves have been so sore- I haven't been able to really stretch them out post-workout.

Thoughts?

Day 5, Level 1 done! I did better than usual but was really disappointed when I couldn't get through the first cardio serios with jumping jacks/jumprope. My calves starting seizing on me... :noway:

Ahh well, tomorrow's a new day. I'm not sure about the stretching stuff. I know that I barely could lean over my leg in the beginning but I'm slowing starting to see a little more flexibility (not even close to what Jillian's group can do!)

I have been checking in on the welcome group duh!!!

So here is my check in - day 3 of 30day shred!! Feeling really good. I am still hopefull I can do this and not have a set back. I know I just have to tak eit one day at a time.

Have a happy healthy day!

Want my opinion? I say we all sign up for a massage when this is over!!! We deserve it and I think I need it- sounds like you do too ! :drinker:

Level 1 Day 4 completed!! Feeling good today and finally walking up and down stairs with ease Bring it JM cause I'm ready!!

Hey everybody! Just joined the group today and completed day 3 level 1! It's only about 25 minutes, we got this!

Day 4 complete. I used 5 lb. Weights for most of the workout... Boy it is harder!!! Made it through most of the jumping... Getting stronger and can't wait to see the results. :-) I'm super stiff too, I find myself stretching all day trying to work it out.

back from spin class at gym.
Quick drink
I should do Shred
I was almost tempted to give it a miss but because I am logging in every day I got out of the chair and got going so glad I did
This group is helping me keep motivated

Day 4 done this morning, then went for a half hour walk after and feel pretty good. Still don't like the side lunges while lifting weights out in front but am managing. :grumble:

Happy Friday everyone!
