    What do you log the Shred as in your exercise diary?

    I add it as 20 min of calisthenics. I wore my HR monitor a few times and the average was 200 calories burned. I'm on day 5 of level 2. I didn't check what level 1 was on my HR monitor.

    I am going to order it on Amazon but I don't know how long it will take to get here. I am looking for some serious toning results. I hope this helps.


    You can do it from the links or most of the time, it is on Youtube.

    I'm starting tomorrow! I've done the week 1 video a couple times before but didn't really commit, but I'm taking before and after photos this time and doing measurements. I'm really hoping to lose some inches in my stomach and legs! I'm doing mine in the morning like one of the above posters said so I wont get too busy to do it later in the day! It's 20ish minutes...surely anyone can fit that in!!!

    I just got my dvd in the mail, I was going to start it tomorrow. I wont be doing it every day however, I am using it on days in between my runs, since I am focused on running a 10k at some point.

    FYI: I'm already more than half way through with the shred but there are several 30 day shred groups if any of you are interested...



    Also, keep in mind it will be normal to be EXTREMELY sore the first few days until about day 4-5. It's ok to take a rest day. You can log it as circuit general but once I received my HRM I realized MFP was giving me a good bit more calories more than what my HRM was reading so I HIGHLY recommend getting one for the most accurate calories burned.

    I did it last year and it was great! If I wasn't so hacky sick I would start tonight. Hoping for Tuesday.

    Happy to join for motivation, I started on Saturday so today is day 3 - my legs are like lead, the idea of doing it today seems like madness at this point! Really hoping it can tone the flab on my sides and give me some slimmer thighs, or even better to get me off this damn plateau I've been on for 3 weeks now. To anyone who has done it before, do you do it every single day for 30 days, or do you have a few rest days? Jillian's website advises to take 2 rest days a week from any workout programme, so I'm sort of assuming it is 30 days total with maybe 8 days off spread throughout the 30 days?

    I love the shred. I am on day 7 of level 2 and I am seeing results already.

    One word of advice though - her cooldown is rubbish. I don't even follow it - I do the stretches I do after belly dancing and I have hardly had any soreness while people on here who have done hers have reported being barely able to sit down the next day. I would seriously advise people to stretch properly - if you are unsure there must be cool downs on youtube.

    Jillian doesn't even bother with stretching her calfs aftewards!

    I've done day 4 this morning!! I noticed today how much easier it was this morning than the first day already! I only struggle now with my arms aching - but not as much as the first day. The calves aren't aching afterwards either. In fact I'm sat at my desk not really feeling any aching at all - only in my calves when I walk up the stairs, but it's not unbearable.

    Anyway, feel free to add me!!

    Stats;

    25, female. Height - 5ft 3"
    SW : 166.2 (pre shred)
    GW : 140 (at the moment, possibly more but will see how I feel WHEN I get there!!! :wink:

    I am on day 5 of level 1 and the workout is getting easier for me. I am still not able to do push ups even on my knees but hoping to get there soon. Today I added yoga meltdown level 1 to increase the amount of calories I burn per day.

    I am in as well. I started yesterday 2/24/13 and I can't wait to see the results. The posts on this site are very motivational and I can't wait for my body to start changing.

    Are you guys doing it everyday? I use the video maybe 2x/week. I usually do level 2 or 3.

    Took my before shots and measurements today - and then completed Day 1! I personally am hoping to do the 30 days in 35. REALLY I do hope for doing it every day to sort of jump start a lifestyle where I exercise a couple times a week. But I know it is really easy to lose my motivation if I take a day off. It leads to 2, then 3, then months. But if I say no breaks at all and then have to miss a day due to schedule or illness, that also disappointments me - I'm kind of an all or nothing person. So - for me personally I am hoping to do it pretty much every day, but thats just because I know my motivational-weaknesses. It's definitely not a long term goal. Can't wait to hear other peoples progress as well!

    I did Day 2 Level 1 yesterday. I did skip it today though because I went to a kettlebell class which was pretty intense so I am hoping that it makes up for skipping the 30DS. I am liking 30DS so far and I am very excited to see what the final end results will be!

    I'm on day 5. Has anyone else had issues with the cardio being too high impact? I'm wondering if the exercises are aggravating my stress fracture in my left foot, as its been hurting the last 2 times after the workout. My foot was broken twice before I developed the stress fractures. I'm trying to decide if I should modify the cardio to something lower impact and stick with the weight and ab portions?

    I like it because I feel like it's working but I don't want to do any permanent damage to my foot.
