    Day 5 done!

    Quick question for group members:

    I've really thought about doing the 30 day shred for quick, effective workout. However, I have serious troubles with my knees and have had surgery on my left knee. Therefore, my quads aren't very strong. I've heard from a few people that you shouldn't do the 30 day shred if you have knee/joint problems.

    Have any of you experienced this problem? Or foresee it being a potential problem?

    Thanks for the feedback in advance!

    There are a lot of jumping jacks, lunges, and squats involved in the shred, and in the later levels she gets into plyometrics, like jump squats, which I imagine would be very hard on injured knees. She does try to provide modifications for almost everything, but it may still be difficult. Does that help? Sorry about your knees!

    How do you track the video?? I usually use "circuit training general" for 30 minutes.

    Day 5 will be done tonight!! & I lost an inch on my waist, hips AND thighs!!! (rememebr i started about 3 weeks ago, did 9 days then had to stop so I am starting again) so I cant wait to continue and see more results! I never lost pounds which is BEYOND frustrating but I'll take inches!! :) Keep it up people!!

    Also I usually only log 20 minutes of circuit training because i dont include warm up & cool down! :)

    I usually do "circuit training" as well, but only for 20 min. I am selling myself short!?! Should I be putting it as 30 mins?

    I really need to get a HRM. :0)

    I guess you are right... 20 minutes might be more accurate since the warm up & cool down are pretty easy. Bummer, now it seems like I burn less calories lol

    Day 3 = DONE!

    Did "No More Trouble Zones" instead of the shred and burned 527 calories. Sweat my butt off too. This DVD takes about an hour though, so it makes sense that I was about to die at the end.

    Tomorrow will be Level 1 of 30DS again then Sunday JM Yoga Meltdown, Monday Quick Trouble Zones then Tuesday = BREAK! I may go do the elliptical though, we shall see!

    Glad to see so many peeps on this thread! I cannot tell you how bad I wish I had started on Monday instead of Wednesday but I am still here, and plan to be for the full 30 days!!!

    HAPPY FRIDAY! :drinker:

    Same for me 2 Shreds in 12 hours. Worked a 12 hour day again yesterday and then did Day 4 and it seemed really hard. But I got a lot of rest and was off work today so I got my workouts in earlier. Day 5 =Done ! I also reached my mini goal of 20 lbs so treated myself to massage.
    Have a great weekend everyone!! :wink:

    Ok forgot to post. I must be really tired,:laugh: Haven't missed a shred so far this week. Day 5 done!!! I have done a 2nd work out 4 out of 5 days as well so I feel pretty good about that, so far so good!! Despite the business of work and family I made time for what's important to me. And everything else got done.
    Proud of all of your accomplishments - it gives me a lot of hope!
    Have a great night

    Day 5 done!!! Also I ran 1.5 miles and walked for over 2 hours. No way I can eat all those calories I earned from working out!

    I did level one for 9 days in a row...then on day 10 my left knee was hurting so I waited a day then completed day 10 yesterday. Well today I woke up to a sore knee again...so I skipped it today b/c there was no way I was starting level 2 until my knee feels better. It's starting to feel better...not sure what this is about, I've never had any knee problems before. Anyone else find the 30 day shred to be hard on the knees?
    I think I will give my knees a rest again tomorrow and maybe just do weight lifting. Going to start on level 2 on Monday though...hopefully!! Hoping level 2 isn't TOO hard...kinda nervous about it but really wanted to complete this and do all 3 levels!!

    I have no more trouble zones too but I haven't started that one yet. I just completed 10 days of the Shred...level one.
    I like how many calories you said no more trouble zones burns...that rocks!! I will have to try doing that one next week too!!

    Hi guys! I am new so please forgive my ignorance! What is a shred?

    It is a DVD workout by Jillian Michaels. She is one of the trainers from The Biggest Loser show It is a 20 minute work out that has 3 levels. 10 days then move up to the next level and you can lose up to 20 lbs in 30 days. Keeps the heart rate up for 3 minutes then 2 minutes the one minute Strength - Carido and Abs. I bought mine at Walmart for about 10 bucks. Google it. Looks easy but quite the work out in that time.

    hey kberg...

    this is what i am working on:
    http://www.exercisetv.tv/wplans-details.aspx?id=2252
    there is a PDF you can click on that shows the daily plan in more detail. jenn - the awesome chica who started this shred challenge - also started a challenge for this program last year, but i had some personal junk that took over and i never finished it.
    the reason for doing this instead of JUST the shred is that i have already done 30 days of the shred and wanted more variety. i think it is totally worth doing though, i am just tagging along on this thread to keep me accountable :bigsmile:
