    Yay! I pulled gluteus maxiumus out of bed this morning and did the Shred! I feel great! I logged it in as Calisthenics, vigiorous for 20 min. How is everyone else logging it? I know that you get the same calories burned if you log it as Strength Training. Are you logging 20 min or 30? I was wondering how to account for the stretching? Hmmm... this is my 4th go at this workout and I love it. I did all 3 levels, 3 times now starting the 4th! Whoo Hoo!

    Wow! 1 day down, 29 to go. Who would have ever thought that jumping jacks and jump rope so be intense? lol. Looking forward to tomorrow.
  • i'm in! every time i start the shred i never end up finishing it and stop after about 3 days. but this time i think i am motivated enough to really stick with it! because for one thing, i'm curious to see what kind of results i can get, and also i really want to work on getting nice and toned :] good luck everyone!

    Count me in. I've started the shed a couple of times before and have only stuck ad
    It for a couple of days. I'm hoping that I'm motivated enough to stick at it for the next 30 days. Also I'm planning to do my training first thing in the morning. Good luck to us all!

    Day 1 is done :) wohooooooo I also agree that her video is great because it changes up from strength, to cardio to abs than back again and again.

    Boy was I sweating when I was done!! WoW! Right at the beginning I was already hurtin lol my poor arms are sooo weak lol I can just imagine how sore they will be tomorrow.

    I have a question for everyone who is doing the shred... are you doing any other exercise/work outs while you are doin this. Today I did 30 minutes on the treadmill as well as the shred. I will most likely be doing other stuff along with it.

    I am logging it as 20 minutes of circuit training which I believe it came out to 175 calories burned
  • Started yesterday and woo wee am i sore. Still gotta keep on keepin on. Cant wait to see some results. Good luck to all.. :)
  • I log it under Circuit Training.
  • Last night made my second night of the Shred. I started on July 10th but too the 11th off because my legs had just gotten way to sore and I have two year old twins to run after, I didn't want to over do it by doing a second night in a row. However, I did continue with it last night and found it a little easier to do however I was so tired from cleaning house all evening that I don't feel I put my all into it. Tonight I will continue doing it since I am not really that sore anymore. I think working thru what pain I had left last night really helped, that and I made sure I stretched property this time.

    I am not seeing the pounds drop off yet. As a matter of fact I was loosing more weight BEFORE I started doing the Shred. However, I think that is because the Shred builds muscle and alot of people have been saying that they didn't loose really that much weight while they were doing it but they did loose alot of inches. Either way is fine with me, but I need to quite weighing myself everyday because when I don't see those numbers go down I start being hard on myself, regardless of the fact that I can see a difference in my clothes and other people tell me that they can tell I have lost alot of weight.

    I also do my stationary bike with the Shred so I am not only doing the Shred. I usually make sure I burn at least 200 calories on my bike along with doing the Shred, most of the time I burn about 400 to 500 additional calories on my bike in addition to doing the Shred but I do make sure I am doing a minimum 200 on my bike. I also walk about two miles three days a week. I would recommend that you do some other exercises besides the Shred if you want to loose pounds instead of mostly just inches.

    Tonight will make night #3 for me on level 1. I am starting out at such a high weight that it may take me all 30 days to get used to level 1 (starting out at 308 pounds) that is alot of weight to sling around..lol....but if it does, I am ok with that. The whole point of me doing this is to get healthier, get moving and feel better about myself. Good luck to everyone else!
  • I am in! Just did day 1 trying it out and want to do it 30 day straight since it's only 20 mins!!!!!! Woot Woot
  • wow this is perfect! I'm going off to college august 13th! I think i will start the dvd thursday because i have to pick it up at the library!
  • L1D3 completed! I really had to talk myself into doing it tonight. I am finding that having to watch the same old stuff over and over each time before we can begin to workout is so boring and very annoying. I mean one time about hearing her talk about who she is and why she made this dvd is great, but after that it gets old. Anyway....

    I noticed tonight that my endurance is picking up some, after only three days! So I am excited about that part. I was able to get thru level 1 a bit easier tonight which makes me rethink my earlier statement about it taking all 30 days for me to get used to doing level 1 before I could move on to level 2. I am still not sure if I am going to be able to do this every day though. I mean there are so many other exercises that I would rather do. I am the type of person that gets bored easily, so I am thinking that I am going to just do this every other day and then do other exercises with it like my stationary bike and my own personal ab workout (I don't think the ab sessions in the video are working me hard enough in that area since I am really used to doing my abs anyway) and me and my sister go to a local park three days a week and walk/jog about 2-3 miles each time. So I am thinking that will be good enough.

    I am still having a hard time with the scale numbers NOT dropping!! I guess I do need to stop weighing in everyday and just focus on the inches and how my clothes are fitting. Some how I feel I need that instant gratification though of looking down at the scales each morning and realizing that I have lost more weight. I need to refocus my brain and realize that even though the scale numbers aren't coming down, I AM GETTING SMALLER!

    Anyway, tomorrow I don't think I will be doing the Shred, it is walk/jog evening at the park, but we will see.

    i'm in....and i would like anyone to add me as a friend and help keep me accountable...i'm a stay at home mom with TONS on my plate right now so i'm hoping to stay consistent!
  • I just started yesterday. So count me in.
  • I log it under circuit training. I only count the exercise and not the warm up or cool down. Is this correct?

    I have been doing this DVD on and off with my other exercise routines - I do level 2 for now - which I love. I found 5k weights way too heavy and went down to nice 2kg ones!! Much better!
    Good luck everyone!

    Way to go everyone!!

    L1D2 down... contemplating a second round this evening! I only have 42 days until my husband comes home from Iraq for the end of this deployment... and I have about 20lbs left to lose (since I gained 7 back last month when he was home on leave- they made him take leave late.... waaaay late)!
