Hey hey!!

Wow Today for me is day 5 of phase 3. I can finally DO the unmodified walking push ups.....my abs buuuurn lol loooove it :wink:

and I am extremely happy that we will do this for July as well!!

I am interested to see who else will do a second month!!!:bigsmile:

I am feeling great. I decided to only weigh in today and then I will measure after 30 days (therefore Tuesday I will measure)

I am feeling great....and looving the burn now...I ALMOST look forward to Shredding daily!!!lol:bigsmile:

Since we are continuing for July I will be starting phase 1 on Wednesday....I plan to push my hardest to not do modified moves......which is a little personal goal. As well as 5Ibs-10Ibs NO MORE 3Ibs!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Good luck this week!!!

Happy Shredding:flowerforyou:

    Good morning!!!! I got just start on my July shred because my mom wanted to try it and I didn't want her trying it on Level 3. So this morning we did day 1 level 1. It was ofcourse a good workout and some thing I still couldn't do all the way (even though i've done level 2), but I don't feel bad because I still feel stronger. Which is great!! Also, I tried on clothes this weekend and had the pleasant surprise of finding out that I am down 1 dress size!!!!:noway: :smooched: I was estatic!!!!:love::bigsmile: Not to mention when I weighed this morning I am down 4lbs and am finally out of the 250s (I'm 246.8)!!!!!!

    I hope everyone has a great day!!! I will do my measurements on Tues and will PM them to you vans.

    Keep shredding!!!! :flowerforyou:

    Hello everyone!!!

    Day 5 of level 3 DONE!!! Five more days and then I'm going to start over with level 1 for July!
    Didn't lose any weight this week but did lose some inches. Also, I'm definately building muscle in my arms and legs. I can actually flex my bicep! Granted, it's a pretty small bicep, but it's still a bicep! :happy:

    leshawnturner - congrats on being a size smaller!!! That's awesome!!! :happy:

    Vans - congrats on the walking push-ups! :flowerforyou: Those are definately a burner!

    The V-Flies in level 2 have been the hardest thing for me so far. I'm hoping to be able to do them without pausing at all my second time around!

    Have a great week everyone!

    I still do the modified push-ups too! I can do maybe one or two real push-ups...they are so hard for me!!!
    When I was in middle school, the gym teacher called modified/knee push-ups "girl push-ups" and the gym teacher was a woman! She was insulting her own kind! :laugh:
    To this day, I still catch myself calling them "girl push-ups."
    I can't wait until I can do 10 full real push-ups! That will be an awesome day!

    Hi, today I did level 2 day 1!!

    Wow that was hard!!! I really felt like I was going to die, just like jillian says.. I really found that the hardest moves are the one in the plank position, especially the last one the twist plank

    Of course I did several modified versions, but all i think i did well :smile:
    And oh yes, now I know what you meant about sweating a lot with it

    Well, keep pushing play!!

    :drinker:

    P.S. Has anyone tried any of her other workouts??

    Actually I just finished doing the Banish Fat Boost Your Metabolism dvd, and OMG that is intense.. It is very similar to the shred in that both are circuit training.. Some of the moves form the shred are in it.. Differences I found: This is much longer about 50 minute long... Also what I liked a lot about this one is that most of the exercises are standing up.. There is just one circuit down on the floor, and of course it has some killer moves like plank twist, walking planks (30-day level 3 style), etc... All in all, this is more of cardio workout, you dont even use weights.. Of course jumping jacks, rope jumping, butt kicks are present, but also a lot of kickboxing moves, which I love, love, love..

    I liked it a lot !! It kicked my butt tough :blushing:

    Oh, and I burned 450 calories wow!!!:love:

    I think I am going to alternate the shred whit this banish video...

    Well, have a great weekend you girls!!!
    See ya monday morning.. (sundays I usually dont work out)

    :drinker:
    keep pushing play!!

    I'm back on level 2 and I actually did 3 walking push ups in a row!!!:bigsmile: Then I hurt my shoulder doing the plank thrusts move :grumble: ...oh well I let it rest this morning and I'll give it a try this evening...

    Keep up the good work ladies!!!!
