I just finished Day 8 of Level 1. Great job everyone!!! Feel free to add me as your friend if you'd like! The more the better!!!

I have done the shred in the past and made it about halfway through, but then daylight savings hit and I couldn't force myself to get up an extra hour early to do it. I'm back now and ready to complete all 30 days. Even though I was only halfway through, I was seeing changes in my body, so for those of you who question the results, don't worry you'll see them.

Today was L1D2. I lost my ability to do the amount of push ups I had been able to do before, so I have to work on that. For the side lunges with anterior raise, if you have a 5lb weight and its just too heavy, hold one weight with both hands. It's still hard, but it makes it less impossible (and you don't have to go buy more weights).

Happy shredding!

uh oh...
my bad on the holiday weekend
BUT i started back up and it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be lol
i think in a few days i'll kick it up to level 2

Just finished day 1 level 1! I've been doing Body Pump for 2 months and working out 6 days a week since March... and the cardio portions still kicked my bum.

Edit: Feel free to friend me! Always looking for fellow weight loss friends.

Just finished level 1 day 2. I have a feeling my legs will be jello.... and right after them my arms... The stairs should be fun tonight. I'm using 5lb weights. I'm determined to not let it beat me though!

I have completed L1D7 and the side lunges, jumping jacks and modified push ups are still killing me. However, I can do way more than I could do before I started. This is a great 20 minute workout because I am already seeing the results with myself and my hubby who is doing it with me.

I'M LOVING THE WAY I AM SHREDDING!!!

I wish my hubby would do it with me! you're so lucky!

I'm on day 4 today. Today I went into walmart and tried on a shirt, when i took my shirt off and looked at my ribcage area and i'm already seeing results. i'm hoping it's not just mental though lol

I finished Level 3/day 3 this morning. I do not like level 3. Level 2 is my favorite. I'm noticing some good results - both on the scale and the measuring tape. I also noticed today that my shoulders & biceps are getting more defined. :bigsmile:

I decided to go back & try level one tonight to see if it was any easier, since I've been going 24 days straight! Anyway - the cardio is still pretty intense & I'm glad to hit the floor for the abs still! However for the first time I was able to do the bicycle crunches the entire time!!! I got to 41! Woohoo! :bigsmile:

Stick with it everyone - you'll be glad you did!

ppphhheeewwwww! day 11 done for me. first day on level 2. that was a workout and a half! now i know what people meant when they were talking about planks. lol!

but its another day closer to being shredded! and i can certainly feel like its working which makes it easier to switch that dvd on every day!

11 down, 19 to go............

I am using 5lb weights that I have from my first round at losing weight a few years back. They do feel heavy at first but the more you use them the lighter they feel.

I just decided this morning to try the day 1 on the on demand and it was great (didn't think that DURING, but now that I'm eating my oatmeal, I feel better, lol) I thought it was a great workout. Since I don't have the DVD, I didn't get an intro, so I have a question or two:

Are you supposed to do level one every day, until you feel you can move up?

Can anyone give me an idea of how many calories are burned, if you do mostly the high intensity moves? I weigh 150 lbs, I'm 5'7". I don't have a HRM yet, so I'm not sure what to log.

Thanks!

10 days of level 1, 10 days of level 2, 10 days of level 3. no breaks - thats the idea anyway.

30 days to be shredded!

i dont have a HRM either. i had read on here to log it as circuit training, general for 20 mins. that marks me down for 221 calories burned but i have read people with HRM's saying their actually calorie burn was higher or lower than that so i guess thats just an estimate.

keep at it!

Ok, I've done level 1 for 4 1/2 days so far this month - I tried using 5 lb weights yesterday but couldn't finish the last 6 minute circuit. Bummer. Then, I got so mad at myself for that that i went out and did yardwork for 3 hours in 90 degree heat. Now I'm really too sore to do anything today. We'll see how I feel tonight, otherwise right back at it tomorrow.
