okay so just done day one of the 30 day shread!

Managed it, mainly modified positions! Will work on improving them! Heart race was up and sweating! Lovely!

Had a heart rate monitor on... But I don't know how to work out how many cals I burned during the work out... Any ideas?

So who wants to do this with me?

    I'll start it again with you, but I have to wait until Monday coz I'm away this weekend getting pampered before Oz! Can't help you on how to work out your calories, I don't have a heart rate monitor. Sorry!

    I burn around 230ish for level one. Depending on how much effort I put in, sometimes nearly 250.

    Yes, I like attempting to beat Natalie's reps! Except the pushups, I have weak wrists and can't do proper ones yet, though I'm trying to strengthen them so I can finally beat her on those as well :devil:

    I'm doing a challenge with other MFP people at the moment, we're on day 5 though a few are on day one as they just got the dvd. Can't wait for level 2 to find out what I burn there.

    I did day 1 yesterday - don't have a HRM but just put it in as general aerobics on here.

    My thighs are sore this morning but all ok otherwise. :) Well done - hope you enjoy day 2.

    Day two done! Really feel it in my legs today! :)

    Well done!
    Day 2 for me today too, my thighs (quads) were killing me already this morning. Went better today though so thats great news.
    My legs feel like lead now though so will be interesting walking around Uni tomorrow - it's in the Welsh valleys so have lots of stairs inside building and out, might pop an ibuprofen tonight and in the morning to relieve them a little.
    Rest day tomorrow so that'll help.
    Can feel my abs too but not too bad :) really ejoying it and level of sweat is good for me! lol

    I've done 6 days of level 1 so far - it definitely gets easier! Had my first day off today, as I had a really good gym workout. I log it as 20 mins of circuit training, which gives me around 200 cals currently. Good luck keeping it up! :smile:

    I've just done day 6 as well, burned 249 according to HRM :smile:

    Just finished Day 1!

    I can't find the Shred on MFP's Exercise database. I've tried about 4 different ways of writing it but nothing comes up. I must be doing something wrong?

    I'm on day 6 of the shred... feeling great to be honest :) I started in January and got distracted by life but determined to finish the 30 days this time :)

    People seem to be saving it under circuit training!

    I didn't do shread today, had zumba instead! Legs couldn't take both!! Back on it again tomorrow for day 3 at level 1!!

    How's everyone else doing? X

    I just restarted 30DS again--I did day 1 on friday but didnt do it this weekend so I am going to say that I am still on day 1...Today though was easier then is was on friday but I also think that it helped that I knew what was coming up. I chart it under circuit training.... what does some others do??

    It is circuit training, she has said that the 3,2,1 system is circuit training. Since I have a HRM, I made up my own exercise for it and put in how many calories the HRM says I've burned.

    I started 30 day shred yesterday and OMG I was already sore last night but today I am dying. I am going to try and push through the soreness. Anyone have any ideas on how to alleviate the soreness???

    Hey everyone!

    I started 2 weeks ago, got through 6 days, and work/kids got crazy busy last week, so I missed a whole week. I really want to finish 30 days straight so I restarted today.

    Good luck to everyone!

    I just started up again this morning. Tried it in the fall and got frustrated with it/myself and gave it up! But now I'm going to incorporate it with other workouts instead of just using this as my main one- I think I was getting bored- body and mind! I plan on switching back and forth between levels, too, to keep motivated and to keep my body from getting too used to each level at a time.

    Okay, so this is a really dumb question, but.......and I don't have the video yet, but are you supposed to do the same workout every day? I was watching it on youtube and it showed about 27 minutes, beginning to end. Does the actual video dvd have 30 different days?
