Hi, I've ordered my Shread DVD and weights etc and should be here in the next couple of days. And I'm going to start on Monday 1st March.

Is there anybody else starting then as I would like to join a group and I lose interest after the first couple of days.

    I hope to start Monday too - my 'shred' is in the post - feeling nervous! I tried jogging this evening :-)). It was TOUGH! The last time I moved that 'fast' (it was fast to me!) was when I was 12yrs old :laugh:

    My shred arrived in to-day's post! I wasn't expecting it until to-morrow or even Monday!

    I've had a hectic few weeks meeting a deadline for college essays, so this is my first free weekend in ages but now I've got Jillian waiting for me!!! Can't wait to start :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Kellz510, how did you get on yesterday? I started the shred yesterday too and OMG my calves and shoulders are sore - i'm actually hobbling instead of walking!!

    Now, I'm not sure whether to have a rest day in case I just injure myself from overtraining OR to keep going as my muscles will get used to the exercising......

    I have been doing the slim in 6 but would like to start a shorter workout and this will be perfect! I am doing my videos on T/TH/Sat so I won't start until Tuesday. I've done it before so I know what I'm in for! LOL Looking forward to it.

    How are you guys doing it? I am thinking about doing Level 1 on tuesday, level 2 on thursday and level 3 on saturday. I might not do it on saturdays though - sometimes I run or hike and if that's the case I'll skip the shred on that day.

    Good Morning All.

    I'm in for the shred starting March 1....I've been reading posts from those who have journeyed before us and the consensus is to do each level for 10 days then move to the next level.
    I hope this helps...........

    Hey y'all ... I'd love to join you for the 30-day challenge! I've done Shred off and on, but I need a place to commit to it. I work out at night, so I'll be starting tonight. Here's to success to us all!

    I'm at L1D3. Boy, was I sore yesterday! Not so bad tonight - my muscles must be getting used to Jillian. I'm working tomorrow so it will be a challenge to get motivated after work to do the shred. :laugh:

    HI Shredder's!! :bigsmile:

    Level 1 Day 1 DONE! I am going on a brisk walk and then doing a stretch and tone DVD later....to help with soreness (tomorrow :ohwell:) The last time I started this the first 3-4 days were pretty painful. I am so excited to be here with all you! Took my measurements...and not feeling good with the results! I am 5'4", bout 190 lbs, usually a size 16, apple shape... Wt loss needs to happen....

    neck 15
    tricep 16, wow more than my neck :noway:
    bust 45
    waist 38 3/4
    abdomen 41

    Is it best to do this daily (recommended per the DVD) OR every other day to let the muscles rest??

    Hey, I see there is another **Shred** thread...

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/84067-march-shred-group

    should we all come together as one group and support each other?? I think I will venture over. My stretching and resistance training last week helped A LOT with my soreness....yesterday was day 1. Feeling pretty good today!!

    Good luck everyone!!

    I started on Sunday, dripping sweat!!!! I'm on L1D4 today still sore but I'm much better then day 1. How is everyone doing the levels??? I'm doing level 1 on week 1, level 2 on week two, 3 on 3, and on week four I'm planning to do two levels each day like 1&2 the first two days. Next two days 1&3, then 2&3 and 3&3. Is that recommended or is that two much?

    I've done 30DS in the past so I wanted to do something different. I decided to do Level 1/2/3 T/W/Th. Not sure what I am going to do Mondays - probably just a long walk with the family. Friday I rest and Saturday mornings I am going to do JM's Burn Fat Boost Metabolism. Did it this morning - it is a great transition from Level 3. Kicked my butt!!!

    You might want to look into that video and see how you like it instead of doing two levels a day. :) It is about 50 minutes of circuit training. More cardio - no hand weights - great workout!

    Hello fellow shredders - finally felt confident enough to move onto L2 after 10 days of L1 and getting slightly bored of it. It was ALOT tougher and the intensity has been most certainly been upped by JM. My upper arms are alot more toned and my 'bingo wing's are not as flabby!

    Question: Has anyone experienced slight mid-back pain/ twinge when doing the star jumps, as I have (JM calls them jumping jacks) ? During other moves I am fine and feel no pain at other times. Maybe my muscles are slightly strained?? Any advise?
