    I agree - its becoming easier. The other day I did it twice in a row to challenge myself more - I think I will do the same tomorrow as well,

    Things are going well so far, except the push-ups. I've never really been able to do them but hopefully can get better on those. Keep up the great work!

    Had to take a 2 day break my body was exhausted and hurt like hell, so I will be starting up again today. I really hope I can do it for 7 days straight! Did anyone else take a break??

    I am doing the shred only on weekdays do I did 3 days, took 2 off and have now done 2 days this week. I am part of 2 challenges so I am keeping plenty busy and Saturday and Sunday are my walk , Swim & relax days. I still get some form of exercise in, but only what I really want to do--plus with kids it's kindof fun to pick things they want to do!

    anyone else find the first stretch of cardio difficult? I have a hard time going from jacks to jump rope - I usually do a jog instead of jump rope - but only in that first segment of cardio--I can get through the rest just fine! I find it odd that it's the part I struggle with! :huh:

    I had to take 2 days off due to an out of town trip. I just finished day 5. It is getting easier. The only thing I still cannot do continuously is the 2nd round of jumpin jacks followed by the jump rope in the first circuit. I am sure I will be ready for level 2 by day 10.

    day 6 done! i actually took yesterday off because i was having some weird nerve symptoms and i found when i got back to it today the strength training was much easier.
    keep going everyone!

    Finished day 8. 4th day of Level 2. The plank jacks are getting easier (thank gawd). The walking push ups are still a little difficult. Im not sore any more. I took ibuprofen the first few days so i could work through the soreness and therefore i havent taken any break days. I'm planning to go straight through to memorial day weekend because we'll be going camping. So I'll be forced to take 2 days off. If i was going to some place like a hotel or house, i would find some way to do it, but no chance doing it while camping lol.

    Day 5 for me today. I start with a 5km run outside then do the DVD. Pushps are hard but I am aiming to make progress however small, every day. I started by doing the full push-up on an incline against the kitchen bench.

    Day 7 - Done!

    Feeling pretty good although I have to say I really didn't feel like it. Not sure yet whether I'm going to take breaks.

    Day 7 today... Getting very bored of Level 1. Pushing myself through it everyday because I know if I take a day off I'll get used to it and one will turn into another and another.

    Its day 5 for me today, and things are really becoming easy. Hopefully I'll be up to level 2 in 5 more days. But I did notice some soreness around the biceps. I don't feel this so much, except when I am try to lift my arms above my shoulders. It is safe to continue working,right? Maybe the soreness will just go away??!

    That's the only part I have problems with too! My calves KILL if I keep trying to do the jump rope after jumping jacks. I started doing butt kicks or something else instead. :smile:

    Level 1 Day 6 and a 5 km run done after work.
    It was hard work today. I might need a day off over the weekend but I'll take it one day at a time for now and see how I feel

    Finished Day 3 yesterday (started late) and am prepared for Day 4 tonight - feeling better than I have and not as tight - actually got through it without stopping for a few secs to catch my breath or because my legs were shaking so much!

    DVD in laptop and clothes out for tonight - Day 4!!

    Just did Day 5! Wooohooo! Feeling so much stronger! Had a bad food day yesterday, but so glad I'm sticking to these workouts!

    I did day 4 today and I agree it's becoming much easier. I should definitely be ready to move on at day 10. Tomorrow I will start to try to do real pushups. I did all of the knee pushups today finally.

    Finished day five! I can't say that it's getting easy yet, but I am able to complete more and more of the segments. I still take about a 2 second breather in the second jumping jacks, a 5 second break in the squats with weights/arms at a 90 degree angle, some of the pushups, and absolutely the side lunges with arm lift. I know it sounds bad to write it all out, but this is so much better than where I was five days ago. I hope to be able to move on in 10 days, but even if it takes me 12, I'll be happy to get there.

    Plus.. I lost 2 lbs! :)
