    Wohooooo Level 1 day 6 done :):) For once, I can actually feel it getting easier. I still struggle with 30 seconds of push ups (maybe something to do with my breathing while doing them).

    I'm kinda nervous for Level 2 lol

    Me too! I agree with you on the breathing, I really have to watch it during the cardio.

    Way to go and keep moving! Are you seeing results yet? When are you starting level 2?

    I started Shred on July 13. I'm on Day 7 Level 1. I took one day off and went swimming that day for 20-30 minutes. I am noticing some more endurance, but I can't seem to get those bicycle crunches. I can do about two really slow, then I throw in the towel and do regular and reverse crunches for the rest of the time. Any tips on getting through those?

    I started this yesterday on the 19th, very sore today. Lets see "work through the pain", but down 1lb when nothing else was working.

    wow, great job! i've yet to really see any significant results, but i'm definitely confident that once level two is completed i'll be seeing some results, since i know level two is full of total body moves. and planks galore lol. but anyways, keep up the great work! definitely motivating :]

    You could try doing the bicycle crunches without lifting your head. You'll still get the main idea of them. Sometimes I have to skip a rep every now and then.

    I'm done with Day 8, Level 1 but not doing it every day. I'll be doing day 9 tonight. You guys ROCK!! Keep up the greatness!!

    Try bringing your knee toward you from the floor instead of high in the 90 degree angle. You still get the lower ab work, although maybe not as intense, but you can still get the benefit.

    It will last a couple of days and then it will go away. You will feel it getting easier as you go as well.

    I have noticed my knees being a bit sore... I wasnt sure if it was because I also begin to walk on the treadmill each day after the shred.

    Someone mentioned earlier in this thread that in the warm up the knee circles arent good for you and that they do neck circles instead. Maybe try that?


    Finished day #8 today.. sweat a bit less than yesterday..getting ready to move on to Level 2 :)

    Excited to hear someone say that Level 2 is easier.. I hope you are right lol

    I haven't had time to post the past few days I took a break one day because of some pain in my calve more than just soreness so I thought that it would be best to rest it for a day than risk injuring it more, I am finished through day9. I will do day ten today. And start level 2 tomorrow I am kind of worried about level 2 because level 1 is still kicking my butt. Oh and I weighted in on 7/20 and I have lost 2lbs since starting.
    I am glad to see all that is staying committed to this and the new ones jumping on board Keep up the good work.
