    I haven't had any knee pain from this...hopefully it is from teh Zumba then so you can keep shredding!

    Absolutely - on day 3 now of the shred - and I definitely feel like Im able to push harder - but it's still a tough old workout... cant wait to weigh myself this weekend:wink:

    Just bought this tonight and did L1D1... :noway:

    This is hard!! :grumble:

    The jumping jacks and the "butt kicks" are really killer! I just couldn't do the last cardio session :ohwell:

    I won't be doing this every day but I hope to include it in my regular workout routines! :drinker:

    Nice to meet everyone. I started shredding last week but not daily. I have done level 1 for 3 days so far. I alternate with Biggest Loser Boot Camp. I find it hard to believe that 20 min is only 259 calories burned (I weight 214). Oh well. I feel great already. The stairs at work are getting easier and the pushups -ugh- are actually getting easier too. I'm with everyone on the arm raises with the lunges. Torture! Now I'm just waiting for the scale to honor my hard work with a budge downward!

    Hey does anyone else imagine punching Jillian when you do the squat punches? LOL. It helps!

    I started aiming my punches at Jillian today too :laugh:

    Finding level 1 a bit repetitive so I upped the weights today and was absolutely drenched! Who wouldve thought 20 mins could make you sweat so much!

    Day 4, Level 1 complete! I still do the pushups on my knees but I started trying to do 1 or 2 on my toes. As for the burn... I looked up Tae Bo on the exercise database because I think that's closer to the calories I'm burning. Just a thought.

    Anyone else's calves just so dang sore after doing this workout?? I did L1D1 yesterday and today I can barely move them! I think it was all the JJ's.

    (and yes... I've stretched... I've got the heating pad on them now!)

    Yep, my calves feel like they're splitting! But that's hopefully a good thing!

    I'm still doing the girl pushups as well, but will try and do some proper ones today. Keep up the good work guys!

    Hey guys! I would love to join this group! I started the shred about 2 months ago and got to day 13, unfortunately, I injured myself and was diagnosed with achilles tendonitis. This has luckily cleared fairly quickly! I have been doing the shred for the past two weeks, on and off (off usually at the weekends) but I'm ready to start all over again. :flowerforyou:

    As I have progressed through all 3 levels, I will be changing the level's I do each day. Starting with level 3 today with 5lb weights. Since I started the shred, along with diet and ab training, I have lost several inches and many more pounds. I feel strong and many of my muscles appear to have toned up considerably :flowerforyou:

    In my opinion, Level 2 is quite tricky...level 3 focuses upon cardio whilst using the weights, and although it's difficult, it is not as hard as the plank work in level 2. :ohwell:

    One more thing, a few people I have spoken to, including physio's have suggested that the knee circles can be more damaging than beneficial to the knees...therefore I change these to neck circles...as with my ab work, I find that although I try to keep my neck neutral and relaxed, it very often tightens up.

    Good Luck everyone!

    Was going to do Level 3, but fancied a change...so had a go at level 1! The cardio is harder in level 1 than level 3...seriously! I did the entire two sets of the side lunges with anterior lifts! Ouchie!

    I'm going to a funeral today and didn't want to push myself too hard...but will do level 3 when I get home, or the steps fitness video...variety is the spice of life eh? :flowerforyou:

    Have a lovely friday guys :happy:

    I've been doing the 30 day shred for 6 days now in total - so thought I've give a bit of an update.

    Waist - I've lost 1/2 inch
    Hips - I've lost 1/2 inch

    Weight loss - 1.6lbs

    So all in all not bad at all - especially as I have overeaten a few days this week.... fingers crossed the 30 day shred continues to deliver!

    How's everyone else doing?

    I just finished my 3rd day of Lvel 1 this morning and my calves are tight, but it's my Thighs that are sore! I'm debating when I want to try Level 2. I still burn about 250 calories doing one so I'll probably hold off for a bit. Also still deciding if I want to try and do this everyday or mix in days of running. hrm.

    Level 3 this morning after a few bevvies last night :sick: Phew...that was tricky! Level 3 is a killer on the shoulders...ouchie ouchie! I don't find the level 3 cardio as hard as level 1..really, but I find I sweat so much more during level 3.

    so tomorrow is day 5 for me...going to give level 2 a go tomorrow! Hoping to hit the 160's this week too, I'm .2 of a pound away! So I'm going to push myself extra hard! :flowerforyou:
