L1-Day 2
Yikes Im sore I have been using 5 lb weights, so I think Im going to go down to 3 lb tomorrow my arms are screaming at me. Had to take a few 5 second breathers today and I was hoping today would be easier. :grumble: Im sticking with it, no pain no gain right? I refuse to weigh myself until the week is up...and also I...uh had a...uh few slices of homemade bread. ha ha So Im not expecting anything dynamic :blushing:
I have 3 kiddos, my baby who is my son and also doing the shred with me will be heading off to college this fall. So I can relate to you mommas, can NOT even imagine going there again. Motherhood is the toughest yet most fulfilling job I have ever had :happy:
I do think I will be on Level 1 for the full 10 days, who knows but for right now Im only thinking one day at a time...0 -
Day 6 Level 1 complete. I feel worn down. I don't feel like I had as much to give to today's workout as I did yesterday. I stopped for a 5 second breather 3 times. I'm wondering if I should stay on level 1 for 2 days longer.
Likewise day 6, level 1 and also required two 5 second breathers and I'm not even up to 3kgs weights yet!! I certainly wont be attempting to move to level 2 until at least day 10, even then i doubt im going to manage!! No weight loss either which a bit disappointing, measuring tape likewise not showing any change :frown: Think positive........Tomorrow WE WILL jumping jack our way through day 7 becky!!
Oh shoot! I forgot that I upped my hand weights from 2.5 lbs to 5 lbs. Jeez, no wonder why it was alot harder for me. LMAO :laugh: It's ONLY day 6, so I wouldn't have expected much change. Our bodies are already changing in that, they are adjusting to this type of workout. I'm sure that by the end of level 2, you'll see a difference. :flowerforyou: (((hugs)))0 -
Day 6, did NOT want to do it today but got through it!0
-
I got through 9 days right before Christmas, but then gave up because I was traveling. I definitely felt a difference in my stomach and arms, but then gained it all back over the holidays. I haven't attempted it again, hopefully this gives me motivation to start!0

Day one: Feel great! Can barely lift my arms
Note to self: Do not start this workout with your boyfriend's 6.5-pound dumbbells. I have the noodley-est arms and I couldn't do many reps of lots of the circuits. I think next time I'm going to take the weights off and just use the 1.5-pound bars and work up to adding 5 pounds. OUCH.0 -
ok after children kicking off last night I didn't get to do L1D2 BUT I got up and did it at 6 this morning!!!
Feeling very proud a I even managed those blooming sit up kick things at the end. Not all of them but most of them
Hard to believe how mcuh differnece there is between jsut 2 days!!!
Might even try another one tonight!0 -
Day 7, Level 1 - done! Not as sore and definitely getting easier. I really do NOT like the sideways lunge, arm raise thingies - they kill me!! Pushups are still the modified ones, after doing 3 of the regular ones at the start. But getting there and doing the Natalie intensity for most things now.0
-
Day 3 L1 Complete! It's starting to get a little easier.0
-
I'm starting to feel like I can't "get there" as far as being able to do all of the stuff without stopping to rest. IS there shame in taking 2 extra days to do level 1?0

Not at all. There's no set time frame to complete a level. I done level 1 for a week, level 2 for a few days and now i'm on my 4th day of level 3 (I'm on day 19 out of the whole thing). Do whatever is right for you and your body.

Thanks. I just want to do it IN 30 days, ya know?0 -
Day 7, again, not thrilled but done. TOM cramps are killing me!0
-
Day 5 completed today sick off star jumps seriously lol0
-
Day 5 done!
Still doing modified push ups, and since my arms are still sore I'm still using wimpy weights. But I can do the cardio now okay and put a lot extra into it. Butt kicks that kick my butt LOL.0 -
Level 1, day 5. Seemed easier today but I took a one day break between day4 and 5. Ive already lost one pound so feeling pretty good about the entire process.0

Hi, my first time posting. Level 1 Day 4. I didn't start on Sunday b/c me and my kids were up all day Sat. Night with a stomach virus so starting Day 1 I was weak. Today I felt sore when doing the 30ds did the best so far. I'm also doing C25k and came in a did the 30ds directly after my 26 min run.0

L1 Day 3 Had to force myself through it today, reduce my hand weights to 3 lbs MUCH better. Im glad I did it! I more day bites the dust! 0
-
Last day of level one was today. and scared to get into level 2 after watching the 20 min workout. but i know I can do this!
Lost 2LBs in 10 days on level one.. maybe even more b/c i only had 2 weigh in day inbetween the 10 days (1 @ the start and 1 in the middle) Thats the most I've lost since I first started losing weight!
my next weigh in is in 5 days . Wish me luck0 -
Day 3 Level 1 done! I even managed to get through the whole Burn Fat Boost Metabolism dvd too. :happy: I'm glad I took a break yesterday, there was no way I could have done the workout with the way my calves were. I tell you what, I dont know about you guys but after just two days of the Shred it was the sorest I've ever been IN MY LIFE! I couldn't even walk the entire day yesterday! But the soreness went down, I gave my body a rest day (and my boyfriend massaged my legs for me
) and I was able to crank it out today. Been working with 5 pound weights because thats the lowest I have, but its been ok. I HATE those side lunge arm raise ones too. And the butt kicks. Sometimes I'll do jumping jacks instead of butt kicks.

My 20th day today, only 10 more days to go EEK! Decided to do level 1 a little while ago for a change, doing level 3 as well in a few minutes... May be going overboard with it today because i've put weight on and havent particularly ate well the last few days...0
