    I need some accountability to keep me doing the 30 Day Shred. I had started it, and then I moved a week ago and I haven't done it since. Back to square one, I guess... or day one, rather.

    edit; Oh man, it was so much easier before I took that week off. But I was brave enough to do it with my boyfriend in the room for the first time, and he showed me how to do a proper bicycle crunch. So... that's good and stuff.

    I just ordered the 30 Day Shred and the 30 Day Shred with weights too. I have never been a big DVD person but I was looking for a workout that I could do in conjunction with my walking and different treadmill workouts. Looks like I will have a lot of support from others who are just starting the dvd too. Good luck to everyone!!!

    Whoo! I just started today. I am not gonna lie, I definitely took a couple breaks. I wouldn't say I was "phoning it in," but I teach kids and HAVE to walk 30 minutes each way to work every day, so having several days of crippling soreness is not an option. I am sore, but hopefully I can ease into doing it hardcore and not be put out of commission.

    Anyway I liked it, just wish I had a yoga mat.

    I started yesterday and it was horrible! I did not take a break but I had to lay on the floor for a good 5 minutes to take my breath back and probably put my brain cells back together. But I can feel the soreness today and it makes me feel that what I did is working, I'm motived as ever for the second day :)

    I did my first day with very little pain, but a whole lot of sweat. I thought it was a bit strange that my gf who is a lot slimmer than me was crawling around all day and I was seemingly ok apart from a tiny bit of arm ache...... I did day two last night. This morning I can really feel it...It seems that I actually have abs in there somewhere! Bring on the results! How is everyone else getting on?

    Thanks! It must be quite effective if all of you guys are doing it! I exercise in the mornings at 4:30am before school, so I need a quick, intense workout.

    I read somewhere that "thin" does not equal "healthy", so you may actually be stronger than your friend! She may not have fat, but she may also not have much muscle either!

    Wow, I tried level 2 today after 2 days only of level 1 because I get bored easily. BIG mistake!! I'll go with level 1 again for day 4 tomorrow haha.
    Small question: do you work out in the morning or in the evening?

    I started yesterday and I might add that my legs are way to sore today to do it! I think I will have to go every second day until I get used to it! Wow what a work out! Anyone have any ideas what to do on the in between days to let me legs heal a little but still get a workout?

    Wow! I just started this yesterday, and it definitely kicks your butt! I usually do elliptical a few times a week for half an hour, and some weight training, but this works out muscles I forgot I had! I also only have 8 pound weights, so that doesn't help... wayyy too big! Having trouble moving today, but I think I might try day 2... eek! Good luck everyone!

    Did you already see any improvements? I know the three of us are on day 4 so I would like to know if that's just me being terribly impatient or me not doing it right :blushing:
