It went much better on Day 5. Not as much sweating, not as much of a struggle but somewhere in there is a leg muscle I don't work in my runs because now I get a slight crap during my runs (mainly uphill sections). I really just need to focus on what I eat and I need to really up my water.0

Well, I skipped a day
Woke up late, super low on calories... didn't even make the 1200 and was out of the house till really late. Look its 2am and just got the time to post my failure lol. Will just have to be sure I do a morning shred tomorrow, might even do two. Ya'll think thats a good idea? 2 shreds in one day... to make up for a missed one, hmm.
Or today is just my rest day (from exercise), didn't even walk the dog... LaZ~
Other than woke up too late for breakfast, I don't know how I had so little calories, I mean, I do, I can look at my log and see, but you know what I mean... wasn't ever hungry today. guess it was just an off day. Better luck tomorrow.
Looks like everyone's endurance is increasing in one area or another~ That's AWEsome! Here's to getting through it all without missing a beat tomorrow :drinker:0 -
Day 5 completed last night. Man, my knees are really aching. I guess from the jumping jacks. I've also been doing a walking video every night and that one really gets my lower back because there are so many knee lifts. Listen at me just complaining.....sorry. Oh, I've been doing some of the exercises with a 5 lb weight instead of a 3 and it feels good. I'm finally starting to feel it in my shoulders and arms.
I know we are only around Day 5-7, but has anyone thought about what you might do once you finish this 30 Days? What program will you move on to? For me, I think I will start back on The Firm. I used to do it a long time ago, but got away from it. It's not an every day thing though. It came with a calendar of the days and which workouts you are supposed to do.0 -
Completed level 1 day 5 (216 calories today) ~ I hate myself for skipping yesterday. But, I'm down to only stopping for about 3 seconds during the 2nd set of cardio in circuit 1. I just hate that jumping! Feel it more in my legs than my knees now, so that's prolly good news.
May or may not do a second shred this evening to catch back up ~ does anyone have an opinion on this idea?
Forgiven4life ~ I'm thinking about doing shred again, then maybe pick up jogging (C25K) after that. I want to lose maybe 20 lbs before I try to jog, the jiggling would be distracting to me LOL ~ I also couldn't imagine doing this with 5pounders yet, but I see several folks using them. I might give it a shot my next run through. *dying with 3 lbs*
Ya'll have a great day!0 -
Hey!
Missed yesterday I was busy all that day! I was helping with a baby shower had to clean my house because in-laws were coming and I was cooking all day so very busy. But one good thing is that I got alot of excerise from cleaning and cooking. But today I will have to double it!0 -

After the 30 day shred I am going back to Insanity I haven't finished it yet but I want to be a grad so I will try and conquer it again once and for all!!0 -
Good morning day 6 and 7 completed I don't think I made it in here yesterday can't believe I have worked out 7 days straight haven't done that in as while still only feeling it in my shoulder hope that get's better with round 2. I'm so glad to have you all to do the shred with I feel like now I will be a grad for sure!!! Let's keep shredding it!
Has anyone notice any changes in the 5-7 days so far? My weigh in is in the morning hoping for good results!!0 -
Day 6 done I have to say it is getting easier. :happy:0
-
Day 6 done~ decided not to go for two shreds in a day, just seemed like too much work LOL
These late night workouts are killing me. Hoping I can get back to naptime exercise tomorrow. Totally getting easier, well more endurable I guess. Made it through tonight without a pause, and I'm pretty sure I kept up on the butterfly crunches. Anyone notice that Jillian isn't down there doing her 'favorite' exercise? lol prolly too hard to keep talking on those ones.
I did find a real good yoga (not cardio) video on Netflix ~ it felt frelling awesome after the shred. I don't think I have relaxed this well in years! Crunch:Candlelight Yoga if anyone is interested~
Homework time, I'm cutting it off at an hour tonight, then make the Man's lunch and maybe I can get to bed before 2am? Good night and may the force be with you0 -
So I did day 5 level 1 Sunday, I didn't do it on Saturday but me and my dog went for a 2 hour walk I figured that made up for it but back into it this week and I'm excited, I lost about 2 lbs since last Wednesday when I started!!
Input from others on this- I am thinking of continueing to count days even though I didn't do the workout, like Saturday I counted as day 4 but I didn't do the workout. I only plan to miss maybe a few other days during the whole 30 days. I just thought that I should keep going so I move onto the next level on time but I didn't know what others were doing...
Do you count only days you workout or do you count everyday if you workout or not?0 -
Saturday I missed my 30 DAY SHRED but I did my 10th day yesterday. Today I start my Level 2. I hope I can do it!!!
Good luck to everyone!!!0 -

Good luck to everyone!!!
Come back with reports on round 2 so I will know what I got to look foward too!!0 -
If I miss a worout I will probably count the day and keep moving foward!! I would love to hear everyone else take also.0
-
Im in. I have done it the other day and she kicks butt, but you feel good after. She will make you sweat, she will work you. I think this work out will work. I also do the treadmill for an hour and I monator everything I eat. I love this system0
-
Ok, I completed Day 1 for Level 2, I'm not crazy about it but it's good and still works you out good. I modify what I can't do a little but for the most part it's all good. No matter what I need to do other cardio. I am counting my days as they go if I do it or I don't do it and just moving forward like that. I started on Friday, July 2 and started my lever 2 on Monday, July 12th.0
-
7 days completed :happy: It is definately getting easier. I am going to move to level 2 after I have completed 10 days of level 1. I watched it today, I like the exercises in one better, but I guess I will get adjust.0
-
7th day completed 3 to go for level 2 it s getting much easier.0
-
Done for the day~ burned um, 275 calories on Shred tonight. Didn't pause the whole way through~ I was so sweaty, I had to peel my pants to go potty after. And on another TMI personal note : I want a sports bra that doesn't let me bounce and doesn't ride up under the girls~
Anyway, think I will be counting today as 7 also, only missed one day and I feel like I will be ready to move on with everyone else. It's still hard, but its supposed to be! I can get through it without missing a beat, and to me that means I am ready for the next level, well, in 3 more days anyway :laugh:0 -
Day 8 was completed yesterday on to day 9 today still on level 10
-
Great job to everyone onto level 2 I am going to see what it has to offer in a few more days!! Let's keep getting shredded!0
-
No posts yesterday! I hope we are only slacking on posting.
Did my Day 9 last night. 243 calories burnt ~ Today is last day of level 1, is that right? wow.
So, tomorrow will be a brand new workout, which kind of excites me, just to be doing some different moves.
Weight has been kinda stuck for me the last two weeks, got some advice in another thread, so hopefully that will change. I want to say that my huge calves are getting smaller, but I may just be tricking myself~
Can't wait to hear how everyone is doing! Have a great summer day~0 -
I was wondering did they start a new thread and I missed it where is everyone!! I missed yesterday so the plan is to do day 10 today and the 1st day of level 2 we will see how that works out!!0
-
I am still here... day 10 done. I am moving onto level 2 tomorrow.0
-
Ugggghhh I missed 2 days in a row so now I am on to do level 1 and level 2 twice in a row then I will be back to speed I got one double in today and tomm I will do the same then I will be caught up some what!!0
-
OK level 2 day 1 done. Did anyone else have problems keeping their shoes on? lol I may have to try lacing them tighter tomorrow, but really dont know if that will help, cause it was the heels. I really like Natalie~ she shows the advanced moves, but still has to put her foot down a couple times on those military lift things. It made me laugh, and my daughter didn't get the joke.
So, 252 calories burned today. Even my hands were sweating enough that it made the stretch behind the back difficult~
cnbethea~ can I call you Beth? you are a brave woman. I don't think I could push myself to do both levels, especially after missing two days in a row. Let us know how it goes
tamalea~ quiet but persistent glad to see ya hanging in there!0 -
so I have one more day of level 0ne really behind, I hate how life gets in the way. Monday onto level 2 but I'm gone on Wednesday and thursday so I will be hind again. Hopefully I can finish my last day tonight. And do Level 2 tomorrow.
Good luck to all and have fun!0 -
Hey everyone doing both together wasn't bad for me at all I did use 3lb weights on the lateral raises and shoulder press because my shoulders are dead especially the right one. I used the 5lbs on everything else. I like level 2 better also I know a couple of you said that as well by 5 mins into it I was dripping sweat everywhere mamaDaisyJ my hands were sweating like crazy also. I think the reason I like level 2 so much is because a lot of the moves are like those in insanity!! Looking foward to continuing on today just got back in from SC so I am taking a lil rest then I will be up and on it shortly!!
Hope everyone is enjoying there weekend!!
mamyDaisy you can call me Beth that's cool!!0 -
I like level 2, but I think it might be because I was already getting sick of level one. I did it barefoot so I wouldn't lose my shoes0

Okay the last two nights have been killer; last night I went out and didn't get home until 11:00 pm. I really wanted to go to bed, I have to get up at 6am. It took everything I had to keep this commitment I have made to myself and do this dvd. I went to bed sweaty - yuk. Tonight I went out after work, had mexican food and half a pitcher of margaritas. I debated with myself for an hour about skipping a night, but I did it anyway. It was not pretty, however I have to say doing it drunk hurts less although I sweat more. The balancing was the hardest part. The one thing I can say I have learned about level 2 is that I need to go out and buy lighter weights, I only have 5 lbs, and they are doing me in.0

Hi all! Just checking in to let everyone know I am still here. I'm way behind because I let my vacation come in the way of me working out, but I am going to get started back tomorrow. I think I will go ahead and move on to level 2 with everyone else, then come back and do the days of level 1 I missed. I hope that is okay...0
