Starting 30 Day Shred on Monday...10/24/11

I see you guys have your group set already but I'll "join" as far as the video and posting. I lost a lot of inches in the first week of doing this, then I slacked off after hurting my tendon in my knee. I'm ready for it again starting tonight.

L1D5 done. Leg soreness much better today. Days 2 and 3 were excruciating. It was very painful to bend my legs to sit down or stand up. I'm still having trouble getting through the cardio part with the combination of jumping jacks and jumprope. I have to pause to catch my breath. I wish I had a HRM to see what my heartrate gets up to during this part. Those bicycle crunches are really hard too. The hardest for me are the push ups though. I am terrible at those.

Day 7 Level 1 done. Much easier mixing it up.

Had to take a couple days off. My nose was so stuffy I couldn't breath to workout. However, I did my day 5 yesterday and I'm on to day 6 today.

Shredders - do you stick to Level 1 for the whole 10 days or do you just go to the next level once Lv1 gets too easy?

Hi everybody, I have this DVD and i know I'm a week late but I would like to join. Feel free to add me as a friend. I need to motivation to keep up. Thanks.

I'm so frustrated....not sure if it is my DVD player (probably is) or the DVD, but I couldn't get the workout in today. I cannot advance on, it was only letting me get to Level 1, for now that's fine but now all I could get to was the credits or the introduction. I soooooo want to do this. My son said I could play it on the Wii, but that doesn't work!!!! Thanks for letting me vent!! :explode:

I use the online version of the 30 day shred and it's 27 minutes long... I will send you the link I use.

AliciaD93 - Are you able to get to the main menu? I play it on my PS3 and I have to wait for all the crap in the beginning to go by and then I get to the main menu.

princesschic - so does that mean you are losing more? or it just makes your body feel better?

kludgood - I'm not done with level 1 yet I'm on day 8.

Whew...not sure I got that dvd player to work today but I got Level 1, Day 8 done first thing this morning!!

Did level 1 day 3 today.

I guess its a little easier but its still really hard. I have trouble with the first strength part. The arm thing with the weights kill my arms. And the lunges those are really hard too. That when I really feel it in my butt.

How heavy are the weights you are using?

missed this before. 3 pound weights. Now its easier but still a challenge.

Level 1, Day 9.....DONE!

L1D10 done. Improving on the push ups that I could hardly do 2 of on Day 1. I'm a bit afraid of moving on to L2 tomorrow though... can't imagine this workout getting harder!!!

dont feel bad i took sat sun and monday off. Im going to start level 2 tomorrow, im hoping that its not so hard on my lower back. I have read a couple peoples comments that it was tough on their lower back. i spend way too much at the chiropractor to mess it all up. I do think that doing level one exercises have helped strengthen my back some though. The only thing that sort of hurts is the dumbell rows with the squatting down move. Hurts in my bones to be crouched like that. I can definately tell a difference since day one.
the hardest move for me is the side lunge with the arm raise. my arms feel like they will fall off during that so i bet level 2 will leave me armless

Day 11 Level 2 done. My endurance still sucks as well as my balance.
