    I'll do it with you just waiting on its arrival. I ordered it on Walmart.com the same day I ordered my daughter's birthday present but that item has not yet arrived.

    Hey everyone :)

    I'm going to join you with this, I have 9 weeks to till i go to Marbella for a weekend and with the imminent threat of having to get into a bikini, I really need to get back on track!! I've been totally slacking on the exercise front since I got back off holiday at the begining of june and a sneaky 7lbs has crept back on :(

    I'll measure up in a bit and post back once i've completed day 1!

    Good luck everyone xxxxx

    I will! I started on the 7th, skipped yesterday because I was doing some back-to-school shopping and picking up some necessities (sports bras!). Did it first thing this morning and was surprised at my endurance level after just 2 workouts. Only made it through about 7 minutes the first time, but stuck through the whole thing today. Had to catch my breath a few times and do some modifications, but I'm pleased.

    Oh my goodness, I got up this morning feeling fine and thought i'd crack on with day 2 of the shred and.....

    jeez were my arms sore, I didnt even notice it till i started with the stretches lol.

    I did find it hard this morning but I dont think it helped that I was doing it at half 6 in the morning so I couldnt blast my music out which i find really helps make the 20 minutes go faster lol!!

    I'm so glad I popped in on this board. I had no idea what you were talking about so I looked on-line, saw a demo and today I'm on a mission to find and purchase this! Hopefully I'll find it and either start later today or tomorrow morning.

    For now, I'm off for my walk!

    Can't wait to try this!

    So far so good for me. I completed day 2 this morning. I upped my weights from 3 lbs to 5 lbs. That made it a lot more challenging!
    I also work out on my elliptical every day for 45 minutes. I feel the elliptical plus shred is really going to get me started on where I want to be.

    I adore the 30 day shred, I started a bit ago, did it for a few days then had to stop, Auntie Flo visited, and now I am passing a Kidney stone, so once this bad beast of a stone exits, I will join up with fellow shredders to keep me motivated. Add me if you want, the more the merrier..

    Ouch... poor you that sounds painful.

    I done day 4 today, quite disappointed in myself as I didnt feel like I really gave it my all. Didnt get out of work till gone midnight last night and then up again at 6am to do the shred before work (work 9 - 11am, looking after friends little boy as well as my own, from 11am-5pm, then work again 6pm till 11:30pm so no chance doing it later) but I was soooooooooooo tired it was quite a half hearted attempt but at least I resisted the urge to skip it altogether today like I wanted too.... a half hearted attempt is better than none surely? :grumble:

    :ohwell: tommorrows another day maybe i'll try and do 20 minutes of pilates aswell as the shred to make up for today :laugh:

    I did it! Just completed Day 1-Level 1. Holy Cow! Yes I may have skipped a jumping-jack or two till Jillian said "don't you dare give up on me!" and perhaps I did call her a "b%&*ch" during that last 2 minutes of cardio, but I DID IT! And it was great!

    Thanks again for posting this thread! Now if I can just get the next 29 days down.

    On that note, I have two questions.

    1. Do I do 30 days at level 1 and then another 30 at level 2 and three? Or am I supposed to be changing levels as I get better at this?

    2. Does anyone know how to estimate the calorie burn for something like this? Is there a formula for that?

    Thanks and happy Shredding everyone!
    Christine
