So I am looking for people who are doing the shred, have done it, or will start it with me. I NEED SUPPORT!! I have never been good at sticking to my workouts. Any advice would be welcomed... Did it work for you? Is it working for you? Let me know. I would love to hear from you all!

    I'm on level 3. This is the first time I have done a home workout DVD, never thought I would be able to be motivated enough to do it and stick with it. I am seeing progress. I highly recommend pressing through. I was very sore after Day 2, so I took a rest day then continued the next. I usually take one rest day a week, and work out for 6. After several days I was definitely stronger. I could barely do a modified pushup on my knees when I started, but by about day 5, I could do some non modified. As you get into Level 2 or 3, if you cannot do some of the moves, do as much as you can, but substitute something else if you have to. On level 3, there is a cardio move that is too high impact for me, so instead I do the boxing move and add my own kicks, just to keep moving and keep heart rate up.

    I have heard that it's hard as well. I am a little nervous. I'm glad we can be here to support each other!

    I took a rest day after day 2 because I could barely walk and then continued, after that I had no problems.

    It is hard but it will get easier. Then you'll move up a level and think you are going to die again. I just started level 3 yesterday. My advice would be to not worry about doing it in 30 days and make it work for you. I don't have the time or motivation to do it every day so I do it on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday. I did each level about 2 weeks (six times each). When I get through level 3 and feel more comfortable with it I will either start over and rotate levels every week or every day depending on my interest.

    I just started level two yesterday and feel like death is a possiblity again. However, I am determined to make it through. The results I see already are totally worth it.
