    ooohh..I want to do this.. I just found my DVD! Hmmm...maybe I am being too optimistic? I decided to start a 21 day total body makeover this morning (which is only 2-3/wk) and 30-45 minutes of cardio 5/wk. I THINK I can squeeze in 25 minutes of Jillian (I'm scared just saying that!) she really kicks butt!
    You can do it!!! That's why it's called a challenge, right!!!???!!

    Also, how should we do the measurements - send them to you or just keep them ourselves?

    I'm in!! Hopefully this will motivate me to stick with it each day. I tried it for a few days about a month ago and stopped. I would love to see the results of 30 consecutive days!

    I despise jumping jacks!!! Just throwing that out there now to get it out of my system!!

    Good question! Every Friday, starting with this Friday, I will re-post the Topic, "April Shred Challenge" and we can post it there (if we want to share0. Then on the Friday the 29th, I will post it one last time and we can all put our results in sometime by Monday, May 2. That way we all get a chance to measure and post and see our results! Thanks for the heads up on that!!!:wink:

    This is Great! The scale alone has been depressing me lately.
    Maybe there should be a guide on which way we should be doing the measurements? Like is waist the smallest part where it goes in? Do we do bust wearing a bra?

    Does anyone have a good guestimate of how many calories you can burn while doing your 30 min shred? I know if will vary person to person, depending on age, weight, height, etc. And I know it will depend also on which level you are on and how much effort you put in. But do you have a general idea? Like 250-300 maybe?

    I'm in!! I actually started yesterday so I just finished Day 2...it really is a hard workout for someone like me that is pretty much never active. So I went online for some motivation to keep going and this site popped up. Just wanted to say good luck to everyone!

    I put it in as 20 minutes of Circuit Training General. For me it was 217 calories.

    I'm in! I actually just purchased a copy of her new Ripped in 30 DVD so I'll be doing that instead of the shred, but I'm sure she doesn't mess around in this series either!! :) Looking forward to it!!

    I started the Shred this morning and it's tough doing it when I have a 65 lb. dog thinking I'm down on the floor solely to play with him. Pushing him out of the way provided that extra exercise! ha!

    I've very overweight and still had to modify on the jumping jacks and push-ups...have a hard time doing them but my goal is to be able to by the end of the month! Already feeling the exercises in my arms and legs!

    April 1:
    chest: 53"
    waist: 49"
    hips: 58"
    thigh: 31"
