L1 D3 done and I totally kicked ITS butt! Lol. It was much easier today. despite being really sore. I also wore my sauna suit and let me tell you, I sweat out like 3 gallons of water! I'm hoping it will help with my water weight. My husband wears his everytime he goes to the gym and he lost like 7 lbs in a week. I know men take it off more quickly but ill try it and see.
the gym closes in 2 hours and i doubt my husband will be back from work in time, (stupid getting called out on sunday!) so i might just have to work out with my wii. Just Dance 2 and some Wii fit! better than nothing.
Good luck ya'll! it does get easier, just keep pushing yourself!0 -
D2,L1 done! Seems like it went a whole lot quicker than yesterday....gonna push myself to do Yoga Meltdown later. I have too much housework to do to get to itvright now!
Keep up the great work ladies!0 -
L1, D3: done
I woke up this morning at 5 and was super pumped to do the workout. It is still a killer for me, my quads and pecks are so sore. The good news is that I didn't feel like throwing my weights at her when she told me I had to stand up for the final stretch and I was able to walk/run on the dreadmill afterwards instead of laying on the floor praying for death.:laugh:
I hope that you all have a terrific day! I feel great just knowing that it is out of the way.0 -
Day 4 complete! I didnt do the "easy" way either! Super pumped about getting shredded!
My husband is super surprised I've worked out on this DVD for 4 days and going to the gym like 12 days in a row. He thinks I'm a whimp... well.. ive showed him! Lol.. He's supportive but he just thinks im lazy. But you know men!

Hi ladies, I am not in the group but had a read as I just ordered the Shred DVD and was looking for inspiration. I noticed some comments about eating after. Its actually the 'golden hour' just after you finish exercise. Athletes try to get carb and protein in as much as is comfortable during this time because that's when your muscles can take it up easiest to replenish their stores so eat asap. Also your metabolic rate is substantially raised for a good hour after and raised for a couple of hours so if you have worked hard you should be burning calories for a couple of hours after. If you have hypoglycaemia you should try to eat something small and familiar an hour before you exercise to prevent your blood sugar dropping too low as
you use it up during exercise.
Hope this is helpful, good luck ladies x x x0 -
L1D3 done. I can't decide if it was easier or not!:laugh: Can't do all of the push ups, even doing the easy ones. But I didn't feel like I would die, so that is an improvement!0
-
D3,L1 done! My legs are just fine, but my arms....forget about it! I will say that I feel totally proud of all of us....even though we're just a few days in we ROCK!0

Hey Ladies!
Would you mind another gal joining your group?? I just started the 30 day shred (on L1 D2), and looking for some inspiration, and some people to keep me on track...I am going to Disney in 3 weeks and would like to look decent in a bathing suit!!
Thanks!! 0 -
L1, D4: done
Still hanging in there. I'm not as sore this morning, but the workout still feels tough. The push-ups (even girlie style) and the side lunge with anterior raises, ugh. But I guess I'm getting a little farther everyday, right?
Have an AWESOME day everyone!!!!!:happy:0 -

i say no problem! It doesnt seem like all of our "original" girls have been posting... so whats one more?
Anyway, L1 D5 done ladies. I am halfway done with level one! I had been using 2lb weights (my husband made them for me..lol) and today i upped it to 3lbs. I havent lost much weight but I sure do feel good and if you check out my "motivation" post, u'll see how much these past few days have really changed my body. I have been on MFP for 20 some odd days now so i cant wait to see how i look in another 20! Keep it up ladies!

LOL @ holding your boobs with one arm, cracking up. I'm right there with you. I did that at first too, and then I paused it, put on a regular bra, and a sports bra over it. Much better!
Thanks for the tip...I just did L1D3 this morning and I was able to use both hands while jumping
It was a litte easier today but I still suck at push ups. 0 -
Heather - Congrats on the loss! I definitely notice a difference, especially in your tummy! Go you! Keep it up
I just finished L1D4. I kicked Jillian's *kitten* today. I still had some soreness in my thighs from the previous days but hell, I know it's working when I'm sore! I also ran 5K before doing the Shred today and feel GREAT!0 -

That is awesome!0 -
I'm not doing the 30 day shred with you all, I'm on Level 2...my question is what size weights do you all use? I use 3 and 5 pounders...depending on the exercise.0

I'm using 3 pound weights right now, although I plan on using 5 pounders once I get to day 5 of each level ( I said I'm planning, but don't know if I'll be able to handle it).
D4, L1 done! I'm actually feeling pretty good...but my shoulders are dead!0 -
Hmm, I never thought about increasing my weights. Maybe I should up to 5lbs!0
-
Awesome job Heather... :happy:0
-
I'm currently on L1 and currently alternating between 3 & 5 # weights. For the most part I stick w/ 5#s...0
-
L1D4 done! I can finally say it was easier! Though the push ups kill me. I use 5 pound weights.
Jury Duty tomorrow! Not sure how much I'll be able to check in.0 -
I just wanted to say that I'm SO proud of all of your! We're sticking with it (pain included) and making a positive change! Way to go ladies!!0
-
L1,D5: done!
Good news, I didn't hope for a slight injury to get me out of finishing
! That's progress!:laugh: 0 -
I usually do this in the morning but my husband schedule didnt work it out that way but I did it! Day 6 of level one for me. I gotta be more careful with my knees, its way easier now but when i try to get lower in the knee area it started to hurt. I'll be okay just a reminder for myself tomorrow! Lol. I had knee problems in high school (played bball, softball, and volleyball) and had to wear a brace so i guess ill be getting that out again soon!
Almost to level 2 ladies! Keep on a truckin!0 -
D5. l1 done for me....I initially wanted to use 5 pound weights throughout, but instead I used 3 pounders for just the squat and press and the side lunge with anterior raises...everything else I used 5s....man did my arms kill! Then, I guess because of the endorphins from Shred, I did Shred it with Weights, level 1 with a 10 pound kettlebell....I usually use a 5 pound one so I knew this was risky....anyhow, once I got to the really intense part I was ready to die and even though I did stop to catch my breath a time or two I made it through. Soooo glad I did!0
-
No workout for me yesterday. My knees were hurting. I let not doing shred totally throw my day and ate way too much. :frown: Back on track today!0
-
I did L1D5 yesterday even though I REALLY REALLY REALLLLLYYYYYYY wanted a day off. I'm hoping i will find the ambition to do Day 6 today because I know on Friday I will have to skip that day (as I'm working 12+ hours)0

L1, D6: finished
Thanks for this thread, it is the only thing that got me out of bed this morning. I am feeling pretty sluggish today and called my alarm a lot of names when it went off at 5. I was so close to going back to bed, but I wanted to be able to say that I did it. I did it!
I am only using a 3 lb weight. I think that I whould use a heavier one for some of the moves. I'm still really struggling with those side lunge/anterior raises, even at 3 lbs.
Have a terrific day everyone!0 -

That is the one that kills me at 5 lbs. I haven't been able to do the arms on every lunge yet. Have to rest the arms a couple of times.0 -
Day 7 of Level one done! It was so much easier today but im still having problems with my left leg, I realllllyy dont want to take a rest day cuz then I would feel as if I was just starting over. But then again, if i'm hurting I wont get anything out of the workout. We'll see how i feel tomorrow!
thanks for the motivation ladies! Level 2 here we come!0 -
Ugh, I'm lacking motivation big time today (again!). I'm just so exhausted.0
