    Wow, I completely had no motivation to shred tonight. I almost didn't, then I got on MFP and read through our group and just got up and decided to do it. It wasn't even so hard!

    Hey everyone! Hope your workouts are going well! Just finished Day 4 of Level 1, ouch my shoulders were killing me!!!

    I haven't done the shred before so could someone please verify:

    I know it's 10 days per level, does that mean we go straight through each week, no days off?

    It's only a 20 minute workout so it wouldn't be too tough to go straight through, I was just curious what everyone else is doing, because ripped in 30 said 5-6x per week, per level.

    Any contribution would be appreciated!

    Good luck! :)

    I researched this myself and apparently it's up to you. Jillian Michaels has said you can go straight through or take a couple of days off to rest sore muscles. Someone in another forum suggested taking a rest day in between each level so Level 1: 10 days in a row, rest day, Level 2 10 days in a row, rest day and then Level 3 10 days in a row.

    As of now I'm going to attempt to go straight through (knowing there will likely be a day or two when I'm too busy) but I might take the two rest days in between levels if I feel myself burning out.

    Hope this helps!

    Just did L1D2. I wasn't sore during the day today, but OMG was I ever hurting during the first circuit. It was much harder today then yesterday. Once I got to the second circuit it wasn't so bad, I guess because I was warm then.
    I really hate the push-ups. Someone please tell me there are no push-ups in L2 or L3...

    I changed it in the doc i have, so it'll post when we weigh in again, but i can't actually edit the one posted at the top of the page (mfp isn't so user friendly, I can't edit posts over an hour old), so you won't see the change till we weigh in on WEDNESDAY!!, but I've fixed it.. promise :)

    Just finished Day 3. I've managed not to skip a day yet, but I so didn't want to start today. I came online to look for some motivation and there were hardly any posts in our group. Instead I remembered back to yesterday when I went into the Gap to try on some new pants. They were gorgeous skinny jean cords. I tried them on in a size 12 which is the size of the Gap jeans that I'm wearing now and they didn't fit! I was kinda sad.
    When I reach my goal I think I'll be a size 10. I'm almost 6 feet tall, so I don't ever get smaller then that (at size 8 I look too skinny). My husband was with me and he said that if I did the 30DS every day without skipping he would buy me a pair in every colour. So there's my goal and my motivation :-)
    Day 3 went ok today. It wasn't nearly as hard to get through the first circuit as it was yesterday.

    I understand how hard it is to get motivated to exercise. I have not exercised in 10 years and I used to do 45 minutes of aerobics 3 times a week. I have been doing pretty good being in this group and being on MFP. I have just finally made it through Level 1 and did not do it today but am going to shoot for Level 1 in the morning and shoot for Level 2 in the evening. I will also send you a friend request because I am on every morning sometimes late morning but I am more than happy to help you with your motivation. We can help each other.

    Keep it up ladies! It's only 20 minutes! Think about how smokin' we will be and feel with these 30 days done! I think about the holidays being around the corner and establishing a nice routine when all the temptations ramp up that time of year. I also think about the family and friends I only see once a year and how I want to feel and look the best I can! We take a zillion pictures around the holidays, I think about how I want this year's to actually make into frames and displayed in the house because I am pleased with what I see.

    The 20 minutes fly by :) Thats it! We can do it :)

    every single one of these reasons^^^^ are exactly how i feel. i just had family pictures, the one posted on my main profile pic is one, and i hate how i look. i would never forgo family pics because i think they are super important...but i have yet to take one that i'm completely ok with.
