in Fitness and Exercise
Someone started a 30 Day Shred in November challenge and I failed. Hurt my neck and couldn't do much exercise, other than walking.
So I'm starting again!!!!!
I began Level 1 on Monday and am determined to do the Shred everyday this week. I'll start level 2 next Monday.
I'm not doing any records, so any measurements you post will purely be for your own records.
I weighed in at 200lbs on Monday, ONEderland is sooooooooooooooo close!!!! And I'll take some measurements later today and let's hope there's some difference.

It's going to be difficult for all of us during December to stay on track so I'm hoping this will help!

    30 Shred or any dvd doing circuit training using weights should not be done everyday! DO it everyother day doing either her Banish Fat Boost Metabolism dvd or interval cardio training in between. IF you do Shred everyday you will be more likely to over train and get injured :-)

    I want to join too. I might do it every other day and then some cardio on the off days.

    I'm in too! I started on Monday as well. Today was the hardest day so far to get out of bed and do it, but I did. I tried P90x a few weeks ago and gotdrained real fast. I love that 30 day shred is only 20 minutes! That means 1/2 more sleep for me :happy:

    I'm in! I'm aiming for 5-7x/week among training for the Tough Mudder and my half marathon coming up. I'm sure we can fit an extra 20 minutes in somewhere. (*shudders at the thought of getting up earlier...*)

    I know this workout works - I lost quite a bit doing it in the Spring. I have the Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism DVD too but I get bored really easily.

    Wow, thank you all for joining me! The last topic I posted was entitled 'Just Dance' and most people thought it was about Lady Gaga, but It was about the Wii game (which I thoroughly enjoy!).
    I'm determined to get up to level 3 before Christmas! Just doing level 1 as much as possible this week.
    I have a morning off work tomorrow so I'm thinking I'll give it a rest! But I am going swimming!

    I will be following Anita throughout the levels for now. As the weight drops and stamina improves, I shall look to Natalie (noticed how she slacks a little when she thinks the camera isn't on her???).

    I noticed that too! :laugh: I've started to follow her through a lot of the strength moves, at least as far as lunging deeper and such. Still can't do the full pushups the whole time...but I WILL get there.

    Day 4 all done!!! I was much more tired today doing it. My chest hurts lol. I hope my strength comes back for tomorrow. I am also following Anita for most things, butt kicks I can do like Natalie....but I hate jump rope. It hurts my knees.

    Some people use 'circuit training' but I used my heart rate watch.

    Finished my 4th day. Going to do another day, then move up to level 2 ( I have been doing the dvd on and off for around 2 months so I feel like I've done around 20 days on level 1).
