    Good Morning Everyone!

    Demezat: My endurance is also rising! Today was my highest calorie burn so far!

    Well I just finished Day 3 of 30 Day Shred Level 1 and burned 210 calories in 27mins. Thats 20 more calories burned then yesterday!

    Then I did SI6 Start It Up and burned another 205 calories in 25mins.

    Total today is 415.

    Well shower and shake time have a great workout!

    Day 2 Done! I did Level 1 again. I am just wondering if maybe level 1 is not intense enough for me... I sweat, but I'm not dying... and I was sore this morning, but again, not dying.

    Should I move it up to level 2 already? or keep it at level one for the rest of the week? Any suggestions are welcome!

    Thanks :flowerforyou:

    There's nothing wrong with trying out Level 2 tomorrow. If you can make it through that one, then just keep doing it. There are no rules to this, so it's whatever you feel comfortable with. My goal is once I can do an entire Level without any modifications, I'll move on. Though, I don't know if I'll ever be able to do a real push up this year! Also, consider using heavier hand weights before you move up a level and see if that helps!

    You took the thoughts right outta my head lol... I can do it pretty easily too, if I don't apply some intensity and go lighter on the weights. I do man push ups and stick with my 5 lb weights and struggle near the end, so once that struggle is gone, I'll be moving up. That being said, do what you want... it's your work out hehe! :)

    I'm so saaad!!!! Everyone's already into it and on their second day and I'm still not starting mine!! This rash is killing me! (allergic reaction to penicillan!). I hope to be in shape by the end of the week and start it all then. I may be 5 days behind you guys but I'm still excited to start anyway!

    Congrats on everyone who shredded today and/or yesterday! Keep it up!:flowerforyou:

    I hope you feel better! ouchie! Just focus on getting better, you can catch up :)

    Day 3 Done! I stuck with level one, but I increased the weights to 5lb, with no modifications :) It was challenging, so I will stick with level one until this is not challenging enough, then move up to level 2. I'm pretty sore, but surviving :happy:

    I overslept this morning and now my whole day has been out of whack. :grumble:

    I promised DH that we would go for a long walk with the dog after I get off of work today so maybe I will take today off from shredding.

    :noway: Do both! It's only the 2nd day!!!! Cooooommmmmme onnnnnn! YOU CAN do this!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :heart:

    PS I expect the same *kitten* kicking when I start slacking....... You know it'll come, lol

    Hope no hard feelings HannahRoo....... :flowerforyou:

    :laugh: :flowerforyou: None taken! I always need a little more pushing, especially if it means I'm having to get up earlier each day to do something. I appreciate it.

    Btw, I did both and I got up this morning and did Level 2!

Day 1 = Sore thighs and calfs for me:grumble: ! But I would love to be part of this challenge. You all have helped to inspire me to get moving. Will post weight and measurements later... after I Shred my Day 2 (Hope it gets easier.)

    hey mel! :flowerforyou: of course! this is a fun challenge and some of us are still waiting to get started - you jumped in at the right time!

    hey everyone: stupid question time. first of all, i got a friend to join the challenge and she is not even on MFP - :drinker: she just emailed me to ask how many calories it burns - actually, she asked me to ask you all! :laugh: anyways, are you guys using HRM's to determine calorie burn or do you have another method? thx! :drinker:

    I don't have a heart rate monitor yet. It's my first reward. I log it in on here as circuit training but because it's three sets of 3,2,1 that only makes 18 minutes. So, I log in 18 minutes instead of a full 20 since the other two are warm up and cool down. I rather be under my calories than over for exercise in case I get the notion to eat them all! :laugh:

    Well I got my DVD in the mail yesterday so this morning was my first day:tongue: It was good my left leg is sore and my arms and thats probably because I was using 5 lb weights.

    So I have a stupid question:::: how is everyone finding out how many calories they burn when they do the shred???? and another one:::: how do you get friends????

    Sorry for all the questions:ohwell:

    Well, I feel like crap. #1 I'm sooo sore everywhere. I've worked out for years doing cardio and weights and nothing has EVER left me this sore ALL OVER. I guess that's a good thing. #2 "That Time" of the month began last night. Between #1 and #2 I couldn't push past the soreness and general ickiness. I'll make up today on Saturday to get my 5 times in.

    Oh poor pitiful me......:tongue:

    not sure about the calories with out a heart rate monitor, but ngwife explains how she enters it into MFP a couple posts ago.

    if you click on a persons name to go to their profile, there is a button on there called 'add to friends'. its almost like a friend request on MS or FB. :flowerforyou:

    I used my HRM last night while doing level 1. I am 160 lb and 5'2", 33 years old and prior to this not very active. It said I burned 209 calories.

    After work I went for an hour and a half walk and was thinking about skipping the Shred tonight. But you are all so motivating! How can I not do it if everyone else is? Thanks for motivating me! :smile:
