    On Day 3 of the shred (started early) and taking it day by day, but I FEEL so great accomplishing each day. I am hoping not to get lazy or tired and give up. I do feel my clothes a bit loose (YAY!!) and apart from that I do some Zumba and walking so hoping to see some GREAT results!! Let's keep up the good work this month!!

    Day 2 - Was a bit easier to at least stick through the entire workout, but still had to rest maybe half a dozen times. But they were short and then got right back into it! Already seeing some improvement in endurance so can't wait for tomorrow!

    Day 1 done...and day two starting within the next hour. Found day 1 ok enough, maybe because I did a few days of level one last week so I might be a little used to it. I must get proper weights, have been improvising with bottles of water and juice cartons but that's not ideal!

    What are you all logging it as? I remember reading someplace about someone using a heart rate monitor and being a bit surprised by how little calories they were burning doing this. As far as I remember it was only about 175ish calories for level 1, but they weren't that heavy to start with, just doing it to tone up. I've been entering it as 20mins of circuit training, but even that is coming in over the 175. I don't want to got down the road of overestimating my exercise calories, then eating more as a result, and then putting on weight instead of getting rid of it! I was talking to a friend of mine earlier today who used to work as a fitness instructor and she said that overestimating exercise calories burned is the biggest downfall for people trying to slim.

    Do any of you have a HRM that can give us a better idea of how many calories are burned off? Obviously it will be different for everyone, depending on how much we weigh and how much we "go for it" but it would be good to get a rough idea.

    The first day I did it, I also had to rest during a couple parts. The second day, maybe once. Third and fourth days, didn't have to rest at all and I was so proud of myself!

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    I've already done the Shred today, but I'll wear my HRM tomorrow and let you know how many calories I burned :-)

    I know it will be different for everyone (height, weight/ current physical condition). So to give you an idea, I'm a 30 , 5'4 and currently weigh160. I spent the summer training for a 1/2 marathon, but sprained my ankle just over a month and a half ago, so I haven't done any exercise lately.

    I just realized I didn't weight in for day 1 or post my current measurements. So here goes.
    Weight is 160.
    Chest - 38 "
    Waist - 33"
    Hips - 42"

    Last time I did the shred, I burned between 250 and 300 calories at a time. That was @ 205lbs.
    Yesterday, I burned 234 @ 184lbs.
    I am 34 and female :)

    Fixing to do an evening shred, as much as I would have liked to get it done this afternoon, I had a headache and just didn't feel like it. But, I am determined not to skip a day!
    I will check back in with calories burned tonight.

    Today should be day three. I have not been feeling well (TOM is tough for me), so I missed today and yesterday, Because of that I have really been watching what I eat. Tomorrow, I should be back on the wagon.

    Yeah! Day 3 finished for me :-) I put my heart rate monitor on and forgot to start my watch :-S, so I still don't know how many calories I'm burning exactly! I'll try again tomorrow morning before work and actually try to remember! We are "well on our way to being shredded" lol

    Actually burned 310 on shred tonight, but I started immediately after my 40 minute "cardio dance blast" ~
    I guess it just gave me a boost to a higher HR at the beginning. I use a cheapo watch that I have to keep pushing the button, so I'm prolly not the most accurate, but it's gotta be closer than the database (for me).

    Oh, and I ended up skipping yesterday even after I said I didn't want to. Stuff happens ~ Back to it today :drinker:
