    L1D3 bagged. It was a bit easier today, glad I took a day off to get over the muscle pain because this morning I wasn't HALF as sore as I was the morning after L1D2. I guess we will see how it is tomorrow?

    Note to self: Drawstring pants needed, bouncing gut making things hard :P

    L1D6...I just about talked myself out of shredding today. I had to go to work at 6 am...I had to fill in and unload freight..(which is a workout all on it's own..) I had to stay for a supervisor meeting an extra hour(got off at 2:30)..oh and of course that TMO started today...I got home and I thought..heck I will skip it, but I didn't..I got on my shoes and exercise gear and did it! So glad I did..I think I will skip my 20 minutes on the treadmill...
    Will Shred again tomorrow!

    Can you pick me up a pair too please!? I noticed when I hold it, I can do the actual excercise alot easier!
  • Alright...off to SHRED!!! Thanks guys! You are the best! If nothing else, it will stop me from eating EVERYTHING in sight! for 20min anyway...

    Alright!!! Round 1 in the BAG!!!! About to start Round 2!!!!! BAM!!! I AM ON FIRE!!!!!!! LITERALLY!!!!!!!!

    Rock N Roll !!!! :smile:

    Round 2: DONE!!!

    WOOOHHHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish we could make bigger fonts!!!! I feel soooooo good!!!! SWEATY, but GOOD!!!!!!!!!!

    560 calories in less than 60 minutes!!!!!!!

    BTW, my son (who takes hip hop classes) gave me this tip for balance....you know how at the end you have to pull your leg behind you to stretch?? If you pull on the OPPOSITE ear, you will easily find your balance...I was damn near falling over and when I tried it, it worked!! Made focusing on stretching so much easier!


    LOL at what point do you pull on your ear?? You are stretching your right thigh... you have to grab with your left hand?

    BTW Awesome job on the Shred X 2 karmas... your smok-N!

    L2D20 is in the bag! I am thankful for that! Tomorrow I take my measurements & compare them to Level 1 's. Level 3 starts & I'm scurred!!!!!! :embarassed:

    WOW... WTG!! Did you like LI compared to 2?

    Doin it big, Lee!!!! Cant wait to see your results! What was your impression of L2 versus L1?

    Thanks Girlie!!!
    2 is way easier than level 1, at least for me.
    Cardio in level 1 is harder than 2 & strength in level 2 is harder than level 1, I loved the ab work in level 2!
  • Thanks for the heads up Lee... L2 sounds like something to look forward too!!

    Did you do 10 LI & 10 L2 ?

    Break a leg ( meaning GOOD LUCK) on L3:smile:

    When you stretch your right leg, youre supposed to grab it with your left hand. Jillian holds her leg with both hands but Nathalie and I forget her name hold it with one hand....so the free hand, which should be your right. Right? I think that's right! LOL

    Do you think its honestly easier or just that your body is stronger?

    Karma I think it's easier!!! I hated level one & was so happy to do level 2 when I go to it! I have never watched level 3, which I should probably do tonight!
  • OOOOOH... looking forward to Level 2 now! Thanks for the motivation to keep on truckin' Leeslim!

    L1D3 Complete. Hurting in different places than the first two days, but hurting is a good thing :wink:

    I've been actively working out for almost a month now (since 1 Feb) and I got a compliment at work today. Only 7 lbs down total, but it could have been zero because that comment sent me over the moon!

    Keep up the good work guys... people are taking notice! :flowerforyou:

    So Karma, your last sentence encouraged me to do the 20 minutes on the treadmill...sure I was tired..but I wasn't in pain, I wasn't healing from an injury...I want this..I want a healthier lifestyle....it's been years of excuses that got me where I am...and I don't want to be there any longer..I am turing 40 this year! I want to go into my next decade healthier and happier!

    L1D4 done! I have never been a morning exerciser, but 3 of the 4 days I worked out in am, and was amazed at the extra energy it gave me throughout the day. It's odd, because I don't normally get that after working out in the afternoon. Yesterday, I wasn't able to get it in until afternoon, and I was tired and out of it all day.

    I only have one pair of sneakers, and they are dirty from wearing walking outside, so I have been doing the shred barefoot. I am thinking of seeing if I can find another pair for cheap though, as I am not so sure I like doing the jumping jacks and jump rope barefoot. Anyone else not wear shoes?

    Yesterday, thighs were super sore after workout, but gone by this morning. Today in the workout one of my calves was sore, must need to stretch more. Today my husband did the first and the third set with me, he weighs 70 pounds less than me, and is in good shape, but he was still working hard! That made me feel good.

    It is super motivational to read this thread, so everyone keep it up!!!! Thanks...

    You are such an inspiration..I can't wait to here your results from Level 2! I hope I have as good of results as you've gotten...thanks for cheering for all of us
  • L1D4 in the bag! Is it just me or am I going to have to do all 30 days on level 1? It doesn't seem like it's getting easier! I must be REALLY out of shape. Maybe I'm not eating the right thing before working out. Shouldn't I eat like a banana an hour before hand?

    Push ups SUCK *kitten* and the side lunges with interior raises do too! Everything else I can tolerate!

    Good work shredders on day 4 (athlete butt slap)! :drinker:

    Aww, that gave me a frog in my throat! So glad you are finding your niche and letting go of excuses! GREAT JOB!
  • I wish there was a way to skip past the intro stuff on the dvd. Maybe it's my player??? I guess I want to be able to put it in and go immediately to the screen where I can choose what l want (recommendations, workout etc) and then straight to chosing my level and go at it. Anyone have any ideas??

    LeeAnna,
    I play it through my hubby's xBox and it comes on right at the part where you select the level. That's the only DVD player we have.

    UGH! I hate watching that stupid intro...and when she introduces each girl!

    I start the DVD then go fill my water bottle, put on my HRM and roll out the mat.Then I FF to the warm up! makes it less aggravating!

    Well I must confess I DID NOT SHRED TODAY. Day 4 and it beat me, not only beat me it literally kicked my *kitten*. My legs are still real sore and I can barely get up and down off the commode. I just got off work and I am tired and fed up and am going to bed. I feel bad this tape defeated me on day 4. I WILL GET UP IN THE AM AND DO THE TAPE! I hate for things to beat me. Ok I feel better now I will get up in the am with a new attitude and complete the task! Thanks for listening. Good Night

    Don't worry about it, sometimes is OK to have a rest and healup day! I know I did - I skipped D3 and did it today! I felt MUCH better! Good on you for sticking with it!

    Mine does the same thing. I just keep the DVD in all the time. When I wake up in the morning, I just turn it on. By the time I am ready for my workout, it has ran through all that crap and I can just pick my level and get started. I have to admitt.....I am getting quite sick of hearing her say the SAME things every day.........like, "Isn't that right buddy?" Blah
