Hello Ladies!

So I started a thread to officially start the October 30 Day Shred. So I think it would be great to share our personal goals and update on how many out of 30 days we have done...

My personal goal is to do ALL 30 days.
Lose 10 lbs in October.

I usually do my Shred at night so for now I'm 0/30 workouts.

Let us know what your goals are! :bigsmile:

Lets get Shredded Ladies!:flowerforyou:

    i completly fell off the wagon last time but I am going to try and do it 3x per week (it became too much with the other classes / workouts I like to do) so i figure 3 nights will be a good start! I am going to spin class tonight so i will start thursday! :bigsmile:

    Ok I haven't done a challenge on this yet so here is my first go at it! I would like to lose 10lbs in October and finally break into the 130's! I have been a pretty avid runner since deciding to commit to weight loss but found out this week I have a stress fracture in my left shin :sad: So my goals are two fold:

    I want to swim 4 times a week and do low impact toning excersizes 3 times a week for the first half of October and in the second half go back to weight training 3 times a week. Depending on how that feels, I am going to go back to Spinning 2 a week in the second half as well. Tonight-Low impact toning :smile:

    So do we post our weights and everyday and whether or not we did the excersize? Do we post daily calorie intact? Help the newbie :drinker:

    I usually only weigh myself weekly...On Tuesdays. So I think I'll stick to that...but I'll be checking in daily to tally up my workouts and comment on food intake. :smile:

    OMG!! I just did the workout 1 and OMG do I really need to say anymore than that. That was my first workout with her and OMG. This is the time I wish I had a HRM because I want to know how many calories I just burned. OMG!! I just can't stop saying that. I think I deserve a flower. :flowerforyou: Now i feel a little bit better. OMG. But I will be doing that in a couple of day. Like Jillian said you don't get the hot body for free.

    Way to go for being the first one to post a finished workout!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!

    OH and you are going to be SUPER sore...but just push through the first couple of mins tomorrow and you will be able to finish it!!!

    What was the hardest for you? The pushups get me BIG TIME!!

    yea the push ups did it for me for sure. I think i need to get smaller weights also. My arms are really sore. After doing the workout i had a seizure so I got a couple told you so's from friends. So the next time maybe just take it a little bit slower. LOL I like to push myself. I really want to loose this weight. Im on my third day of being sick and this is the first time (after the workout) that I have felt hungry. So I think as soon as the kids get home we are going to grab something to eat. I love this website.

    It's true....the first time I did the workout - I could barely walk the next day. But it gets better as your body adjusts. I can't wait to go home and start my workout

    Hi everybody. I kinda skipped out on the September challenge as well (I was trying to do it on top of all my regular workouts, and it was just too much), but I've recommitted to October. I am also doing the pushup challenge (see Hundred Pushups October post in Motivation & Support), so I will NOT be doing pushups during Shred - I have been holding the plank position instead. Which is still plenty tough for me!

    So, I dragged myself out of bed this morning and did level 1. I had a kickboxing class tonight that kicked my butt (no pun intended!) so we will see if I can move tomorrow morning for day 2.

    My goal for October is Shred 4x/week, and lose 4 pounds. :flowerforyou:

    ALright I did the shred yesterday and now my body is so sore i can barly walk. I need help. How do I get unsore. :laugh: Im going to take a day off and not do shred tonight but OMG. I didn't think I was going to be this sore. Hey I didn't know I had that many muscules in my body. :laugh:

    I would recommend a warm bath with epsom salts to help relax the muscles.....but for your next workout try doing a 15 min or more stretching session after the workout to help with the soreness and then before going to bed take another epsom salt bath......the more you workout the less this soreness will be a problem....the trick is not to let it stop you from working out, in order to get past it you have to work through it.....so don't give up, it will get better- I promise :)......
