    I'd like to join in...I've been running lately but decided to add in the 30 day shred on a couple off days...so I'm running 5 times a week and doing the shred 2 days...but I might change that up...I started up with the videos again last week and I'm on Level 2...but definitely need to stick with this! I was on weight watchers but with their new system wasn't seeing much progress...so I figured I'd give this a try! Hopefully something will kick start soon and I can start losing weight or inches again!

    This is my second attempt to complete the 30 day shred. I was sore, but not as sore as I was last time I attempted it. I have been working out twice a day since last time also. I, too, am not good at the push ups, but Im making it.

    Did another day of level 1. This time I had 3lb weights, and it killed me. I was better at keeping up with the cardio, etc, but I also had a toddler that decided I was a couch when I was at the ab section of it. Kind of hard to do reverse crunches when he thinks I'm a recliner, lol.

    I was a little worse with the arm exercises because of the weights, but I'm sure I will get better at it over time.

    This is tough. Can only imagine what level 2 is going to be like!

    Watch out for those toddlers. I was trying to do the planks on level 2 when my 4 year old flung herself at my legs. She really hurt my knee and I haven't been able to workout since. I tried going back to level 1 today but was only able to get into the 1st set of squats before my knee gave out again.:grumble:

    I started this video for the first time on Saturday. I huff and puff all the way through it. Hopefully it will get easier soon. My knees are also very sore today, but I think thats from all the stupid jumping jacks. :)

    I'll hopefully be able to gage this with how my pants fit. I don't have a measuring tape to get inches. So if my pants fit better, than I'll know something is working.

    I REFUSE to buy bigger pants!

    I started today - I weight 151.2 but haven't done my measurements yet. I will do them later, because I really want to see the difference. I intend to do alternate with WiiFit, so I hve recovery time.

    How's everyone going?
    I'm just about to do day 6 level 1. Soooo scared about going on to level 2!!
    What do you find hardest?
    I am not good at the first lot of cardio (star jumps & jump ropes) and also push ups! Eeeek.

    That first set of cardio is killer. I always have the hardest time doing the side lunges with anterior raises.

    Day 2, L1 complete! So much easier than I thought, and easier than yesterday. I was really worried because my muscles are so sore, but I did pretty good! I only used weights about 2/3rds the time, because I wouldn't have been able to finish the set unless I put the down for a while and continued on.

    Fitness class tonight!!

    If there's a dollar store near you, you can probably get one there! :happy:

    Cardio is the easiest for me. Abs are challenging, but I'm not feeling the after burn. I added more crunches today, after the workout, to feel it more.
    Hardest for me might be lunges. My quads are the most aching right now. I can do them fine though. Maybe push-ups are the hardest. I'm totally on my knees!

    I'm doing zumba tonight AND the shred. And I'm already super sore! Haha. I can't wait to see results though.
    Are any of you doing any sort of a diet, or just eating healthy, or just eating whatever you want?
    Be sure to drink lots of water! The more ya drink the more ya shrink!!

    Since I didn't put my measurements in the original post(I don't think anyways..I'll have to go check..) I'll put them here, I just measured a few minutes ago!

    Waist: 32
    Hips: 40.5
    Bust: 39.5

    Hello Everyone!

    I'd love to join this (even though I'm a couple of days late). I watched the 30 day shred Level 1 today, and figured it's worth a shot! I only have it on demand though, so I'm afraid I won't be able to move on to level 2 with everyone. My plan is to do level 1 the entire 30-days accompanied by my Just Dance 2 exercises (there is also an awesome thread here for that challenge).

    I will post my weight and measurements tomorrow morning!

    Day 3 of level 1 and I just WANTED TO CRY. (did a bit). Just found it hard today but I kept going. How does everyone log this in their exercise. I put it as aerobics (general) 20mins.
    Also has anyone noticed how Natalie takes a wee break and just does the arms in the lunges and bicep curls, as Jillian goes over to Anita. LOL

    Great job Suzy!! :drinker: How are you feeling?

    pamelarininger... It hurts to stand... I like soreness when it's in my abs. Everything else sucks! :laugh: I did Zumba tonight as well... It was tough, but fun. Not as hard as I thought. I'm just eating healthy, like I have been. Hey, you've got a little middle like me. :happy:

    Natvee... If you feel what I feel, Level 1 might be enough!

    jellyfishjen... You did awesome! I want to cry too, when I get to the end and Jillian says I'm on my way to being shredded. I almost did on day one! PS - I totally noticed that girl take a break too! :noway: I did it with her for a couple of the lunges today, and then continued with the others. :laugh:
