!!!SERIOUS SHREDDERS!!! 17TH OCTOBER 2011 :o)

Ok - managed to haul my butt out of bed and do L1D6 this morning! Always tough at 05:30am with the rain pelting down outside Getting nervous about heading to L2 - although everything apart from the pushups is starting to feel a lot easier.....

Debating ordering some Zumba DVD's for evenings when I get home!

WOW this thread is crazy long already ! My shred hasnt arrived yet ! but to be fair i have a cold .. cant wait to start my 3rd round of the shred with you all

Level 1 Day 3 done and dusted!!! Am I ever going to be able to do pushups on my feet...I feel like doing them on my knees will hurt forever!!!

I was so sore I almost didnt do todays workout - but after doing it I feel so much better and less sore - something I will have to remind myself tomorrow!!

I felt the same - I still can't do a full set of "grown up" pushups, but I'm able to do a little more each day! I started trying on Day 4 and (only being on D6!) I can now do 6 grown up ones before going back to my knees.

The soreness does start to go - it doesn't feel like it, but it does keep going - you CAN do it!

Okay...I missed the first workout....that can't be a good thing!

Glad to see so many people on here joining the challenege! Doing anything for 30 days straight is hard....except maybe sleeping in!

I have been up since 5:20, goal was 5. Tomorrow I must get up on time. I will be running as well as 30ds because I am training for a half marathon. I will also be adding in 2 Jillian Killer Buns and Thighs per week and also atleat one Bob Harper Pure Burn Strength workout....so here's my "plan".
Monday AM :Run and 30DS PM:Killer Buns
Tues AM: 30DS and Bob
Wed: Run and 30DS
Thurs: 30DS and Bob
Fri: Run and 30DS PM: KIller Buns
Sat: Long Run (this week it's 8 miles) and 30DS
Sun: 30DS

This week will be off because of missing yesterday and also, I have a 5K race on Sunday, so my long run will probably be in Friday....but that's my plan. Days might get switched around but I'll post daily (I hope).

Better get moving...4 miles and 30 DS....here I go!

I've done mine last night. I am getting better with those jumping jacks LOL. The calories burned on my pedometer was dissappointing tho. But sweat was dripping off me. So I know I burn more than that.. I even do the 6 week six-pack. I FEEL GREAT THIS MORNING. :laugh:

Hello all

I completed L1,D1 yesterday - boy it is hard work! I can feel it today though - I love that post exercise ache!

Day 2 LEVEL ONE

DONE! I will always hate pushups! I can do them, but I hate them!! <rant over!!

Great job yesterday shredders!! KEEP IT GOING!!

Great Morning fellow shredders!

yesterday was my 1st day of shred, i feel GREAT! only minor soreness in my arms and chest. just enough to make me feel like i did something.:bigsmile:

i have an exam today and another exam tomorrow but I am determined to do my shred later today and also to attend a kickboxing class tonight and aerobics tomorrow (people still do aerobics?) lol!!!:laugh:

i also need to post my measurements but i fear i will be sooo embarrassed. i haven't seen my numbers in so long. :sad: :blushing:

Day Two Level One Done!! God, my legs hurt so bad. I could barely get in the car to come to work, and now I'm walking real funny. I hope this gets better tomorrow. Any tips on how to get the soreness away? I heard as long as I get a lot of protein in my diet it helps.

Great job to all! We can do this! 28 days left!!

It Will Just keep pushing through it

Hello Everyone!!

It's really really really motivating to hear everyone's progress and thoughts/feelings so I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!

Quick question since I am new to this site and new to the 30DS (although it has been collecting dust in my living room!).......
How are you entering the shred workout under your exercises on here? I didn't see an option for this!

Thanks!

Post it under circuit training.

L1D2 done, plus 20 minutes on the treadmill. 401 calories burned per HRM. No major soreness except for a tiny bit near the upper chest arm area. I guess the routine I was doing before was doing some good. :happy:

Getting myself motivated to face Jillian today. I'm sore, but not as sore as I expected. I think all the stretching in my Yoga Bootcamp helps. Although I'm really happy that today is a rest day for Yoga, they really don't lie when they call it bootcamp. I have to do like 4000 stairs for another challenge group this week, so I think I'll double up on that since there will be no yoga tonight. Hopefully that's a good idea lol, my legs may think otherwise but meh. It'll be worth it.

Starting Measurements (forgot to add this yesterday)

Weight: 170
Waist: 40
Hips: 43.1
Chest: 40.5
Arms: L-12.7 R-12.2
Thighs: L-24.9 R-24.5

I did take some before pics, but will probably post them at the end (hopefully).

Well...I will be starting day 2 on level 1 in about 15 minutes. I woke up VERY sore in my legs, and chest. I will admit, I wanted to just give up the workouts without even getting up out of bed first. Even going to the bathroom was hard on my legs. I can't imagine how the lunges will be. But logging on here...and reading everything from people who finished day 2 already HAS given me motivation. I know that I just have to push through. I'm off to go change my little one...and get him situated for the next 20 minutes so I can begin! Ohhhh boy...haha. I'll check back in after.

Completed Day 5 of Level1 last night. I'm getting better, i think. I am literally screaming by the last bicycle crunch, though!
