    Completed level 1 day 1
    It's quite tough isn't it? My legs are aching. I know it's only about 20 mins long, but it seemed to go on and on. LOL
    I feel like I did a good workout though and plan on doing the workout in the morning straight after taking the kids to school. I was crap at the press up I don't have much upper body strength but I'm sure it will all change in 30 days time :)

    I am starting today! I started it but my kids got finger prints on it so I had to stop to clean the disc, so I will start it later when my husband gets home so I don't have any interuptions. I completed the Shred in December 2010, and am now 6 weeks postpartum so I am ready to get back to it.

    I'm in too! My co-workers are starting it tonight. I have my calendar on the fridge so I can mark off the 30 days. That seems to help. How is everyone tracking it on MFP?

    It is hard, but do-able! I'm on Level 1 day 8. It gets easier if you keep it up. I did the first four days consecutively, then took a day off. It made a huge difference for me. I think my body just needed a day to rest. Also, now that I am familiar with the moves, I put her on mute and play good workout music. It makes it a lot easier to get into it. She kinda gets on my nerves, and it's annoying listening to her say the same thing every day. I will have to unmute her when I start up on the new levels, though! I can tell my body is already getting stronger after only seven days :)

    Tomorrow is day 11 for me! So that means the second level! ahhh. I can't believe how fast the days have gone by...hopefully the next 20 will too!

    Lol, I get so upset when I listen to her, and I love her! Sometimes when you are huffing and puffing through it you don't want to hear her nagging little voice telling you how hard it is! My mute button is definitely on!

    I can't wait to see photos of results. I do not have space at my house to do workout DVDs so I will be at the gym wishing I could be at home doing this instead ;)

    Perfect timing!! I bought the video a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to get motivated to do this....I'm in!

    Do you need a lot of space to do it in? I'm thinking of ordering it...but I want to do it out back in the shed where no-one can see me! There is probably about 1.5x2m of floor space to work in out there, do you think it will be enough or too restrictive?

    You need enough room to do jumping jacks, lunges, pushups, situps, etc.
  • shmunster
    shmunster Posts: 538 Member
    That amount of room should work, you need to be able to lie down in in

    Have fun guys! I'm on day 4 of level 3 at the moment :D

    I am going to start this too. I tried it once and got so discouraged because I couldn't even do one push up :( .... but I will try it again and stick to it. :)

    Yes I with you on that the push ups are really hard, keep my knees on the floor lol.but stick with it as you will gain more upper body strength. My fav is the last abs level 1 not only is it a cool move but because I know its the last one :laugh:

    Today will be - Day 4 Level 1 for me and this is the second time around.

    I have to say...despite a break of a few months I'm STILL fitter than I was. I'm hardly breaking a sweat (well in comparrison to the first time I did it where I would be soaked). This is however, my third attempt as I tried to get back on it again and had to stop due to knee problems. This time around I'm making sure on the static lunges that I'm not going too deep at all. I'm still doing it but as she says...'With a smaller range of movement'.
    I can do everyhthing else absolutely fine.

    So far so good, not a twinge or anything, in fact I think taking time out has allowed any little tears or strains etc. to heal. I hate the first circuit, the second is alright apart from the static lunges, the third I tend to breeze through.

    Problem is...I know what's coming in level two and in general - I am not a happy planker :laugh:

    I am TERRIFIED of level 2 :)) I like planking BUT I had a broken bone in my right elbow so basically anything that is done only on that part hurts like hell... but still, i like Jillian, its manageable and I feel good!

    Hi, I would love to join in as well. I have done 3 days of Level 1 workout. One difference is that I only do this workout every other day. This is because there seems to be a lot of strength training exercises in her workout and I want to make sure my muscles have rest before I do the workout again. Also, if I workout every day now and lose weight and don't maintain the same lifestyle later, I will gain back what I lost (has happened to me before). So, I want to workout only every other day which is something I can do even after I get through this 30 day shred. So, I will be doing this at my own pace and I will finish this workout by April 1st!
