Anyone fancy startin 30 day shred tmro :-)

Did day three last night......It's gets my heart rate so high that I feel bad after I stop.....so I did another workout...I walked 3miles fast with Leslie Sansone......and I felt better afterward....better than just stopping after the 30 day shred!!!

Ssampley, I'm also combining the shred with C25K. I'm on Week 3. I must say I noticed that I feel stronger during my runs since I started shredding.

yea!!! I just finished week two this morning, I have only been doing it the 3 times a week and I have been walking the other days with my husband (he has a really bad knee and cant run often) but I have noticed a difference to..I thought this morning was probably easier than before..I like the combo together!

I completed day 2 Level 1 today! 28 more days to go!

Did Day 5 level 1. Completed all the cardio today so I must be improving!

I'm starting the 30 Day Shred tomorrow... babysitting my grandson today/night. I have had it since last summer and haven't even opened the package!!! Thanks for motivating me to start this challenge... off I go. Also, can someone tell me how to get that little ticker on the bottom that tells you what day you're on? Thanks!

Ya, I figured out the ticker!!

Level 1, Day 5 completed last night! Feeling better everyday! Still cranking the radio...music energizes me:bigsmile: Next week, after I measure on Monday, I'm going to ADD in Ab Ripper X and my Leg Magic machine on a daily rotation 5 days out of the week. Like on Monday: Ab Ripper, Tues: Leg Magic and so on.

I need some help. I had to take a break already. It isn't because it is too hard or my muscles are sore, which is it and they are. lol! It is because it is killing my ankle. I severely sprained it a few years ago and it never healed correctly. All the jumping around on it has made it hurt to almost the point of what it felt like when I sprained it. I want to do the video but need to do something else for the cardio parts. I know it wouldn't be as intense but does anyone think that just walking in place for the cardio part would be okay for right now? Or any ideas of what I could do instead. I'm still a good 50+ pounds overweight so I'm hoping that when I lose some more I will be able to start putting her cardio in but right now I physically can't do it.

OK! I just finish and I am still on level 1 but day 5 (skipped thurs because of 14year old but made up fri by doing it in the morning and at night) I have noticed I am doing alot better at keeping up and some of the harder excersises that I couldnt do for the whole time with out taking a break or just doing a few, I am able to almost do the whole thing. (I figure once I can do the whole workout with out a break then I can move on) I will measure next week. I can feel a difference not sure if I have lost anything but I feel better and the soreness is ALOT better! I am still also doing the c25k and walking during the week I think they are a nice pair together! So glad some of you are just starting because of us already doing!! Thats great! I am also glad to see those ahead of me!! Keep posting girls!!!

Day 1 completed!!! Wow... you ladies weren't kidding about it kicking your butt the first few times. I haven't been exercising regularly (or at all) and wanted to change that so with the motivation I get from you, I committed to this 30 day challenge. This DVD is definitely doable thanks to the three 6-minute circuits... that's not to say it's easy. I KNOW I had a reeeally good work out and yes, I had to push myself but I DID IT!! And I'm going to do it again tomorrow... sore muscles and all! :bigsmile:

For Shallo - I also have a bad ankle and am roughly 80 lbs overweight. Obviously, I am not a doctor but this is my attitude and 'modifications'. I did my absolute best and really pushed myself... Did I do the DVD to specification? No. Why? Because I can't yet. Is it good enough? Of course because that's what my body is physically capable of doing at this time and it kept my heart rate up for the cardio benefits. My belief is that the rewards will be the same as someone who is able to do it to perfection, as we are both pushing ourselves to our individual limit(s). My modifications were these: Jumping Jacks - I did the first two sets then modified the remainder by stepping together and apart with my feet - shoulder width - in time with the jumping jacks while still pumping my arms. Skipping - I simply jumped (or stepped) one foot at a time instead of using both while twirling the rope with my hands/arms. WEIGHTS: I used the weights for EACH exercise until my muscles were fatigue (i.e.: my arms were going to fall off), then did the remainder of that exercise without the weights. I will, of course, continue to push myself and incorporate the unmodified version of the exercises as soon as I'm able to. I'm a newbie to the site and look for these types of tips myself so I thought I would share... or ramble. This is just what I did - hope it helps.

Lastly, I took my measurements and a few photos this morning before I started the challenge. I am very excited to see what my body is going to look like after the 30 days!! I'm hoping the results will motivate me enough to continue with another 30 days. Keeping my eye on the prize!!

Level 1, Day 2 complete!!

Everything that was posted by those who have gone before me is true.. my poor muscle are in agony!! :happy:

I've been working out for about 45-60 minutes 5 days a week prior to starting shred, so 20 minutes doesn't seem like much (although I'm working much harder doing this!!!). I was wondering who else is supplementing this workout with extra time at the gym? I think I'm going to add 20 minutes of moderate cardio daily. Also, how many are doing this daily? I'm planning on doing 9 days, then 1 day off, of each level, and that will be my 30 days.

Day 2 done... wowzers! Had some sore muscles today but worked through it and they felt better after exercising.

Question: Does anyone else have to go in and update their ticker manually or is it supposed to update itself?
