    It's taken me all week to recover from shred day one/level one :sad: today is week 4 day 3 of c25k and i need to stop mfp-'ing and go do it!

    Great job getting that far on the c25k. I have started a few times and never gotten that far. This time is IT! I WILL do this!

    Thanks! It isn't easy but it helps to have a cheer squad! :drinker: Just keep telling yourself one day at a time and it's only 20 minutes (for now!)

    My 11 yr old son and I are doing the shred and C25k. We started the c25k, but got derailed at Christmas. So, we are starting over with Week 2 tomorrow. We did the shred tonight for the first time (DS came in on the last 10-15 minutes). DS is now repeating the shred with DH, whilst I sit on the computer feeling like I am going to throw up. Pretty funny. :D Kids are great motivators.

    Our schedule will be:
    C25K on Sat, Sun and Thurs
    Shred on Tues, Wed and Fri

    The Shred (30 Day Shred) is a workout video by Jillian Michaels. It is intense. There are 3 Levels (10 days to do each Level). It can be found at Wal-mart, Target, Amazon, etc...

    Good Luck to you!

    I got in a run/walk last night and hope to get one in this evening.

    i am on C25K Week 3, Day 3 and i actually alternate with many of Jillian's workouts, but 30DS is my favorite! I just did her Extreme Shed and Shred Workouts 1 and 2 yesterday and truly felt like i was going to die - it was wonderful! :)
    I found that i really enjoy doing her Yoga Meltdown on days that i run ~ it helps get me stretched out and tone a bit.

    That is a great suggestion. I have Yoga Meltdown, but have never tried it.

    Ooh this is interesting for me. I am on second week of C25K and just took delivery this week of my 30 Day Shred DVD. I would like to alternate both, but I think I will just be doing the C25K for a few weeks for now and then start adding in the shred. I did look at it yesterday after day 2 week 2 but I knew I wasn't going to manage it so put it away. I don't want to overdo it and mess up the C25K but I'm hoping in a few weeks I will feel strong enough to add it in. My jog days are Monday/Wed/Friday at the moment.
