    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

    okay so...1 day down and 29 to go!!! I started the sept shred challenge and then only did it occasionally so i thought jumping back in would be easy but...:noway:
    I am going to try to shred as many days a week as I can and post weight updates weekly (wednesdays) to keep myself on track and accountable!
    oct 1: 165 lbs:sad:
    goal for oct 31: 155 lbs:happy:

    for those of you who dont have the dvd yet and want to get started...if you have comcast on demand you can get level one and two for free.

    oh and ps....PUSH UPS SUCK!!!:mad:

    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 :)......

    Well one Shred down....it felt great. Hard, but really really good!! I am strongly considering having a light dinner and then doing it again after baby girl goes to bed.....

    So for now.... 1/30

    I did not do the Shred tonight. I just didn't have time. It's 10:17pm now and I am ready for bed. I will do it tomorrow. Cassidy - Let me know if you end up doing it twice today and how that went.

    Started a few days late as I had to wait for it to come in. I dragged myself out of bed this morning and did it. WOW! My arms and legs are twitching just typing this. :smile:
