L1D4 done. Missed it last night - I was beat. Made sure to get it in tonight though. Since I had a day off Friday I won't have another day off til at least next weekend, if not longer. Still haven't figured out how to do it in the morn but that's ok as long as I do it.
I'm not a fan of level 2 really. My fave is level 3, but I'll work my way through.
ETA - I just created a '30 day shred' that I use when I log my workout. I put 30 minutes, but I just manually adjust the cals burned.0 -

Hey everyone :-) Just finished moving back from uni (a horrible couple of days with no room to breathe let alone shred, and far too much hoovering for my liking) and I'm ready for Jillian
will pick it back up tonight when the temperature drops (I'm sweating just sat here - not complaining though!) this evening. I am so impressed with everyone's commitment!! Really good going from everyone here :-) xxx 0 -
I haven't done my shred yet today (t's only 8:45 am though - hee hee) - but y'day I did L1D4 PLUS mopped and polished the floors and did a few rounds of Wii boxing - if you know me and my competitive side, I pound those fools like I'm boxing in real life
- all before lunchtime. I was so tired last night and I'm SORE today! But I'm committed to getting D5 in today. The good news is I noticed I got through the pushups without having to take a break yesterday. IMPROVEMENTS! Yippee!
Shred on, sistahs ~0 -
I did L1D5 on Friday and took yesterday off. I was out of town all day. so I will pick it up today.0

I was a sloth yesterday. :yawn: I had every *intention* of shredding yesterday but laziness got the better of me. So, right out of bed this morning I hit it and finished my 3rd workout. It is easier already. I only had to stop briefly on the side lunges, the boxing and a little bit on the squats (my calves were burning with lactic acid and I had to shake them out!!)
So now that's done and on with my day. Lesson learned... don't put off my workout until "later" - JUST DO IT first thing! :happy:
Have a great Sunday everyone!0 -
I felt really down on myself this morning (work and life troubles!!) so I needed a challenge.... decided to go up to Level Two a couple of days early. I figured the worst that can happen is I had to go back to L1.
The good news is I made it through!! :happy: Very sweaty! hehe. A combination of the muggy, hot weather and it being more intense - but it wasn't as scary as I imagined.
The only thing that did upset me a little was that it's supposed to be a HOME workout DVD yes?? What sort of home does Jillian think I live in? Probably one with an annex for a gymnasium.... there just isn't enough space for some of the activities. I did manage to do them all - but banging into my sofa/table/poor startled cat in the process!! I already have to move my coffee table and shift all the sofa's back to do the workout as it is, but I'm not a short/small person...and I just don't think level 2 is as "practical" as level 1.
Sorry for the moan, and don't worry, it won't make me give up - it's just a bit frustrating!0 -
L1D7 complete this morning. Figured I would get it done early and over with. Plus my daughter pushed me a bit and said you gotta do it mom. So I did.0

Hey everyone, I fairly new to this website. I started my weight loss journey on March 18th and since then have lost 11 lbs! I ordered the 30 day shred and just received it in the mail! I was so excited to run across this thread! Is it too late for me to join you? I also had another question....and please keep in mind that my exercise routine for the last 10 yrs has pretty much been nonexistent. After a workout, when you feel sore...is it best to rest a few days or are you suppose to just keep going and work through it? I have a pretty bad back and just want to be very careful when doing things like this. I don't want to end up with any more injuries than I already have. (Like torn muscles, etc) Any information and advice would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to getting to know everyone!.0

I just got this workout per a friend's recommendation and started it yesterday. I was tired after the first 2 exercises and felt like a lame-o! I did end up completing the workout, but with a few more 5 sec rests than Jillian took. My head is telling me to do it again today, but my thighs are screaming Noooooo! Of course I'll do it anyways. Hoping I can stick with it for 30 consecutive days!0

Especially in the beginning when your muscles are at their weakest, you will probably feel some soreness the next day. It's always been recommended to work out lightly or not at all on those days when you're sore to prevent injury. That soreness is your muscle fibres healing themselves after being torn in the workout. (yes they actually tear) That's how they build and get stronger. If you tear them up again (by working out hard again too soon) when are they ever going to have a chance to rebuild and heal (and grow!)? I think the name of this workout is misleading to people because they feel like they're supposed to work out for 30 days straight to see results. Not true. If you feel good, do the workout. But if your muscles are pretty sore, take the day off and let them repair. You don't want to injure yourself or you'll never get shredded!
Hope that helped. Good luck and enjoy!0 -
Did L1D8 yesterday, going to do it today after my little one and I go for a swim! Beautiful day out today!
Keep shredding, ladies! :flowerforyou:0 -
After 3 days off with a bad sore throat and cold/flu I did level one again today. So I guess that makes it L1D6 for me. I had to modify (yes, Jillan. Modify!) the jumping jacks for about 10 seconds and the jumprope for about 10 seconds in the first circuit. But on the last circuit I did them correctly, and I made it through! I'm BEAT though. Hopefully tomorrow it will be a little easier.0

My girlies are napping so I'm about to do L1D5. Maybe I can do some elliptical work afterwards or tonight.0

Had a headache yesterday so I missed my workout.
Feeling better today so I completed L2D5 today. Yay! Hope everyone has had a good weekend. 0 -

This is so true! I can barely fit in the lunges and chest presses, and forget worrying about not being able to do the "proper" push ups, cos I'm forced into the modified!! Haha
I'm so glad you turned your stress into something positive, that's inspirational for me :-) I'm so scared of level 2 on tuesday :-S happy to hear that it's do-able but I still have a lot of respect!0 -

Keep shredding, ladies! :flowerforyou:
Aww that sounds lovely! Perfect weather here for a swim, too :-) Hope you had a nice time!0 -
Just finished my 8th day of shred! (not sure how to count it since i haven't done it on every day...) I feel so good afterwards, even though I'm all minging and sweaty :0) It's nice to see some improvement in endurance... and I made it through the dvd without feeling like quitting, which is nice!
It's a lot harder to fit all the moves in here (my home room, as opposed to term-time room) but it's still doable :-) I'm just happy to have picked this back up after a couple of days of stress. Keep up the good work everyone!

L1D6 done! I caught some glimpses of what is to come in the DVD menu intro and I'm a little scared. But today, I feel like a different person than 6 days ago. The workout was hard but I made it through without an abnormal struggle. I can feel my endurance getting better after only 6 days. I really focused on my breathing and on sticking my butt out during lunges and squats and I feel like a different person doing the workout from day 1. 0

Hey Guys, L1 Day 7 done! Feel like I've improved quite a lot since day 1 but I'm still dying in the side lunges and haven't completed the full set yet The muscle soreness I felt for the first few days has disappeared too which I'm finding positive,
Well done too everyone who's been posting here! I'm a little worried after reading that you need lots of space for level 2, I'm just managing to fit level 1 into my space just now!
Also, for the regular shredders, how long before you started to notice a change in your shape? I know i've only done a week but my jeans are as tight as they were at the start still!0 -
Did L1D4 this morning as yesterday I was too sore from playing in a netball tournament on Saturday and I knew I had to go to a 2 hour training session in the afternoon. I found it really hard again today. I didn't complete the side lunges and found the cardio really tough going. I've got spinning in an hour so hopefully tomorrow will be easier…0

Good morning friends! I didn't get to my L1D5 till right before bedtime last night ... and I just couldn't do it this morning as I have been. Too much too close together. I'm hoping that if I hit it up as soon as I get home from work today, I will be able to get back on my morning routine with it tomorrow morning. I'm feeling great though - sore but great!
I have a kettlebell set arriving today - to add to my workout lineup (maybe in a few days, in light of the previous paragraph ) - anyone else doing anything with kettlebell? 0 -
UGH! 5:30 alarm went off and I rolled over, thought about it for a second and changed the alarm to 6:30 - hence no workout this morning!
I did walk to work though (just over a mile) and have serious plans about shredding as soon as I get home tonight, then back at the routine tomorrow of getting up at 5:30 to workout (hopefully 12 hours between workouts is enough overnight tonight).
Happy Monday!0 -
Good morning everyone!! Hope the weekend was good for all. Finished L1D4 & L1D5!! On to level 6 tonight! I am ready to move to level 2, but I am going to wait.0

Did L1D9 yesterday, gonna fit in L1D10 today after running all of my errands...then tomorrow starts L2! Aaaaagh!
I'm skeered :sick:0 -
L1D6 complete. Uggh, I just couldn't muster the strength to do it yesterday. Sometimes I just have to listen to my body. So yesterday was my off day... This mornings workout was good. Now off to finish mowing the lawn.
don't forget to add the lawn mowing as exercise
Oh yes, I sure do add the mowing...with all the sweating, pushing and pulling I do in the HOT florida sun, I deserve to eat those calories:-)
Completed L1D7 yesterday. I did all of level one and to my surprise it was really kinda easy. I had been using a 3lb bar for the side lunges w/ arm raises becaue the 5lb bell were killing me...now I am able to do the first set with the 5lb bells and second set w/ the 3lb bar. So, I am hoping to compelte all w/ the 5 pounders by the end of level 1. Oh wow, did the 1st circuit of level 2 after completing L1...man I was whooped tired.0 -
L1 D1 Done! i had to take a couple 5 sec breaks but i still feel great about finishing!0
-
Been rubbish over the weekend so have only just done L1D4, was ok will see how sore i am tomorrow :laugh:0
-
L2D1 interesting. I like all the plank stuff and I found the walking pushups easier than the pushups in level one. hated the double jumps hurt my knees so I had to back down to singles. Keep on shreddin':drinker:0
