Well done Kriss, I've just completed mine. I did 3 days last week then had throat and ear infection so had 2 days off. Was so hard to get motivated to start again today, but did it and now feel great (well in between gasps for breath haha.) Onwards and upwards

Great job Mama Kriss I remember you mentioned in your introduction that you would be the mother of the group. I think that's awesome. I will be the Aunt As I'm 39, so not exactly a baby either.

I got my Shred on this morning, and I have to admit I was so nervous/excited that I woke up at 3am and thought it was about 5:30am, so I was going to get up and just get it over with. I had to force myself back to bed for a few hours.

It has been years since I've attempted this dvd, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I think I had built it up in my mind as harder than it was, there were definitely more push ups than I was expecting, and in order to keep up, I had to do them on my knees. My hope is that by the end of the 10 days, I will be doing Level 1 exactly as shown, pushups on toes!

The workout was over before I expected, that time went by fast, yay! I feel like I should do more, but I'm not going to get ahead of myself.

I didn't take a before picture or do measurements, but maybe tomorrow. It would be nice to track the progress. I did mention that I'm 5'7" and 154#, and my the end of this 30 days I would like to be firmly in the 140s, and my ultimate goal is to be back in the 130s.

This is my day 6, I took a day off yesterday.
I felt a lot stronger today but still a little queasy by the time I do those bicycle crunches. I added some extra stretches to cool down some more after.
Good work everyone. Enjoy!

Day one completed, Needless to say she kicked my butt, but in the end it feels really good to get the workout done

WE CAN DO THIS!!

Day 2 = DONE! Those push ups kill me...and, I need better bras for all of these jumping jacks! Good Job, ladies!!!

Haha, I hear ya, gonna wear my sports bra tomorrow
got thru it, but was feeling a bit queasy also near end.
Do you guys eat breakfast before or after if you are doing it first thing in morning?
I didnt eat first , so gonna fix some eggs now!!

always make sure you dont do it on an empty stomach, i did that once too and felt really sick after

Day 1 - Done! I still can't do full push-ups properly so I changed it to a knee push-up. My arms were still quite sore from yesterday's workout so I didn't want to strain them. I also did 2 rounds of Level 1 because I'm used to working out for 50~60 minutes so I wanted to maintain my level of intensity.

Great job! That is impressive i cant imagine trying to do that twice in a row

Day 1 done ????
It wasn't as bad as I was expecting although I do ache all over now. I really hope with the motivation this group supplies that I can get to day 30 (I tend to start things and not complete them)

I'm done with Day 1. I have to say that the Side Lunges With A Shoulder Raise destroy me. I was dying in those 30 seconds but made it through with plenty of sweat. I'm also following Anita on most of the moves except cardio. Push ups are also a killer but hopefully by the end of the shred I'd have mastered the proper way of doing them.

I'm off to the gym now....Good Luck guys and please remember to drink plenty of water. It does wonders not just for weight loss but for our skin too :-)

Day 1 = 1/3 done. Hahaha....I did the first 3-2-1 set and the arches of my feet were hurting a lot so I stopped. I think it might be the beginning of plantar fasciitis. I rolled my feet on a ball instead. I'll try again tonight.

It's a miracle that I got out of bed at 5:30 a.m. though!

I have plantar fasciitis and it is horrible. I wear inserts in my shoes, but they only help so much. Thinking surgery might be in my future. I do the best I can with it. The jump rope part kills my left foot especially so I found that if I just do a "run in place" for that segment, I can get through it with the same amount of sweat and less foot pain. I can push through the pain of the sore muscles from being new to the exercise, pushing through the pain of the plantar fasciitis is not nearly as easy to do.
