30-Day Shred for November

I just ran across the street to the big bookstore and picked up the shred DVD--I'm so excited to start it tonight! But how do y'all log in the calories burned under the exercise tab on this website? Thanks!

I logged it as Circuit Training, and do have an HRM:

5'8" 150 = 245 cal. burned for 27 minutes.

Hope this helps a little.

1 did the L1 shred on OnDemand- the exercise channel. Tough but good. Thanks!:drinker:

ok got a question:

I was going to do this 5 days a week, m-f, but after talking w/ my fiance, he said that if i'm working my muscles out sooo much i really need a day inbetween for them to "heal". And you know i'm thinking he's right, b/c the last two times i've done L1 i have been really sore the next day. which is great, don't get me wrong, but i'm thinking that to continue to work those same muscles w/o a break inbetween really isn't going to do anything but hurt me in the long run.

So what do you guys think??? I know there's cardio in there too, but really, must of it is strength, and i've always heard you need to do strength training every other day to re-coop your muscles. So i'm confused now, do i do it everyday and forget what most people say about a break, or do it everyother, which will take me longer, but will be better for my body? hopefully some of you will know the answer!

Thanks, Laura

So today was my first day and I actually really like the dvd. It definitely gave me a workout and my arms feel like jello now. Only 29 more days! I can't wait to see what everyone's results turn out to be.

I want to join too. I'm just starting level 3 and can't wait until I can make it through it in one piece.

I have been doing it for a while. I think I did Level 1 for a week and then level 2 until I could make it through without feeling drained afterwards.

I am shredding since you all were talking about it so much, and I can't say thank you enough, I had hit a plateau, and this is just what I need to get off this last extra pounds THANK YOU AGAIN LADIES!!!

How is everyone doing with the shredding? I just finished day 4 and I don't think I am quite ready to move to level 2 yet but maybe after a week to 10 days. I hope everyone is working hard and enjoying the dvd! :happy:

Hi ya'll-

Just finished w/ Day 5 Level 1(exept it's taken me 2 weeks. I was going to do it every other day, but decided i needed a good kick in the butt and now am going to shoot for 6 days/week, but might only do 5, we'll see how it goes.) And i love it so far. i can really see some changes, not in my body, but my endurance. so that's good. As soon as I can do all the arm movements then i'll switch to Level 2, I think in about a week or so.

Anyway, good luck to everyone and keep it up!

I've been wondering the same thing, Laura. I've done it 3 days in a row and my muscles (especially my legs) are aching. But Jillian says do it everyday--I don't know who or what to believe. I guess you have to listen to your body and if it gets to be too much, then take a day off.

I'd like to hear from people who've completed a months worth--did you really do it for 30 days straight?

Sorry I just saw your message, or I would have answered it sooner. I did for all but 2 days in Sept. I was sore for the first few days, like it hurt to sit, but then I was fine. L1 got less challenging and I moved to L2. Now, I never did make it to L3, but maybe this month I will. Keep with it, it gets easier and you will not always be this sore!:flowerforyou:

Thanks for the reply! I have done 6 days and the soreness is gone

yes, thanks again! I've decided that i'm just going to go ahead and do it 5-6 days a week, i think my body might need the extra kick. And i finally have gotten less sore:grumble: but the more i do it the more i find i don't get as sore. i think i'll move on to Level 2 after next week, we'll see though.

I did level 2 this morning, but had to use the modifications.....it took everything I had to talk myself into it, but I DID IT

I'm a little late joining in as I have been not doing great with diet/exercise the past couple of weeks but am feeling very motivated now as I need to lose some weight before a fancy Christmas party at the end of November.

I am going to try to Shred every day for the next month. I found level 1 too easy and level 2 too hard!!! My son wanted me to do Level 3 yesterday and it actually wasn't much harder than level 2 but it is still very hard. My kids like to join in with me and my twin daughters use salad utensils as their weights!

Anyways...I have only done Shred about 4 times so am now committing to every day!!
