    I used weights (3lbs) for the first time yesterday. I did surprisingly well considering I wasn't using anything before... til I got to circuit 3, the side lunges as you lift your arms up straight in front of you. Ow! For the second set I switched to one 3lb weight using both hands, & by the end of it I couldn't lift my arms up more than halfway.

    Hi all, I've been MIA for a few days, I've been down with a cold. Its mostly gone now so I did L1D3 this morning. Hoping to get another round done later so that I can catch up a bit. Its great to see everyone doing so well :happy:

    Done another round so I'll count it as L1D4 in a bid to catch up with you all
    Ouch! I can really feel my arms now! In the past I've done more tha one 30DS work out in a day, but always 2 different levels so that I was working different muscles. Doing 2 of the same is much harder!

    I'm not sure what stores in BC carry it, but Amazon sell it world wide. I'm in the UK and thats where I got my copy.

    Didn't work out yesterday, so I think I will double up today. Just haven't decided if I will do shreds or one shred and something else. Feel great today, no soreness so I should be able to really push it today. Here's to hoping.

    Day 4 done. Did it earlier today. Thinking about doing Jillian's Boost Metabolism. I found it On Demand for free. I would like to try it and decide if I want to get it. Figure I need to make up for not working out yesterday. Just ate dinner so I have wait a bit. Will have to wait and see how quick I get tired. Had a very productive day.

    Banish fat boost metabolism is a GREAT work out, I sweat buckets when I do this one all the way through!

    I completed Day 11 Level 2 yesterday...yeesh...it was tough. Really works out the arms. Quite a bit tougher than Level 1. Hope I can master this Level the way I did with Level 1...but don't see that happening anytime soon...

    Today was L1D5 for me. I did end up taking Friday off since I could barely stand up (would've been impossible to do jumping jacks and rope)

    Here are the measurements I took after L1D2

    Height 5'2"
    Weight 112.2"
    Waist 29 1/2"
    Hips 34"
    Thighs 20"

    Day 9 = Complete!

    I DID LEVEL 2...and needless to say it was MUCH harder for me & I definitely felt it the entire time.
    I hated circuit 1 the most :grumble:

    L1D3 done last night after another day of work. My body feels heavy and I'm going to wait a bit before tackling L1D4 today. I hate jump rope and the last set of crunches. I am not cordinated enough to do the last set of crunches. After attempting 5 or so I go back to a regular crunch or oblique crunch. My neck is sore a bit and I know its from the crunches. Each day I improve my form and don't notice straining my neck during the crunches as much. With the jump rope I have been doing it foot to foot but last night during circit 3 I actually did it correctly and will attempt to do that during circit 1 today.

    Well looks like I'm heading into work now. So L1D4 will have to wait until to night.

    alright, i got to start doing the shred again today. weekends are the bane of my weight loss efforts. is it better/do you guys prefer doing the workout

    1. first thing in the morning or
    2. before dinner or
    3. late at night?

    i heard option 1 is great for metabolism and all.. but i have trouble waking in the mornings plus i have to shower AND dry my hair (it doesn't really dry if i don't blow dry it).

    option 2 is most ideal for me except for days when i have to eat with my family. then i would have to wait till 1030 or so to get my exercise in since they usually eat at 830. but some times i come home from work hungry and snack a bit too..

    not sure how long you're supposed to wait after dinner before exercising.. also means i have a higher chance of skipping out on my workout.

    I don't really know what is "best for you" but I prefer to do the Shred in the morning to get my metabolism going & then i go to the gym about 3 hours after dinner...it makes me feel like I burned my calories for the day before I go to sleep & will wake up lighter :laugh:

    Day 5 done. Getting much better with the exception of the push-ups and the side lunges and arm raises. I don't know how I will be ready for leave 2 in another 5 days. However I am not nearly as sore the next day like I was at the begining.

    I always feel much better doing it in the morning. I think I feel more motivated to just do it and get it over with in the am. Sometimes (like today) I tell myself I'm going to do my work stuff first and then workout. Buuuuutt, here it is 9:10 pm and I still haven't done it. If I don't do it mid-morning before other things the day just gets away from me. I hadn't heard that option 1 was best for metabolism, but that totally makes sense. I just feel more energized for the rest of the day if I do it in the morning!!

    Anyway, my daughter is watching Snow White right now and it's almost over and then I WILL get my workout in before I go to bed tonight!! Lol

    L1D4 done. I was screaming at the tv tonight. Feels good to get it done, its just during that sucks. There is no way that I could get up before work. I get up at 530 as it is and I hate that. May be one day I will try and see how I feel, but I doubt it. We will see when I do it on my day off tomorrow. Most likely before 1200 as my husband is in school until then. Hope it puts me in a good mood.
