8 days done. no extra comment though. nothing exciting happened yet. although that bit where she says 'those on day 5 6 and 7 will notice better endurance' she is definately right i can get through the cardio loads better. still struggling with some of the strenght. have change food to suit strenght workout now though so i will see.

happy shredding

Good afternoon!

April_mesk: I am going to the kettlebell class next week since I didn't get home on time this week. I'm both scared and excited. We'll see. As far as the Jillian Michaels DVDs go, they used to carry them at Walmart stores, but when I was looking at my local stores a few weeks ago, they were no where to be found. I ended up buying them on walmart.com for about $10 each. Otherwise, if you buy them from jillianmichaels.com, she offers both the Metabolism Boost and Trouble Zones for $14.95; if I had known that when I bought mine, I would have gone that route.

I've been very, very bad at following the Shred plan because I've been so busy this week again. Last night was three hours of walking around at my volunteer work and tonight will be two hours of the same. Needless to say, there just aren't enough hours in the day sometimes to get everything done, workout AND sleep enough! I'm going to have to take another look at my schedule for the upcoming month and schedule in some Shred time.

Happy exercising, everyone. Hopefully, I'll be back on the wagon soon!

I started the 30 day Shred yesterday and i absolutely loved it!!! I usually am not one who likes exercise DVDs but this one was really good. I go to the gym 4 days a week so days I am not in the gym I will be doing the Shred. Good luck to you all!!

Wow just finished shredding through Level 1 and 2. I feel great! Getting much stronger, but still have a lot further to go. Plan on getting my butt outta bed early and run/walk for a 1/2 hour tomorrow if not I will shred again! Hope everyone is doing good! :happy:

Oh ya I almost forgot, how does everyone record it on your excercise log? I put circuit training, is that right?

Good morning, everyone!

Again, no Shred for me yesterday. I'm completely and utterly failing. I probably won't get it in today because I dinner plans and then a party to go to with a friend. There's always tomorrow, right?

Last night, I logged in two more hours of instructor training for therapeutic horseback riding, so that was exciting. I was walking around quite a bit, lifting kids and saddling, so I'm sure I burned more calories than just watching tv!

Tomorrow morning I have bowling, so I'll probably wear the HRM to see what I burn doing that. Probably not much...

I've been logging my Shred exercising under cardio (for lack of knowing where to put it), but I wear my HRM, so I can get accurate counts on calories burned. I'm not sure it matters what I put it under as long as the burned calories is there, does it?

Good luck exercising, everyone!

skywalker You are kicking my Ars...

I need to catch up with ya

Day 6, done!
Yeah it was nice and funny this time : my children did it with me (like they could, of course), and see my 1 year baby (12 month 1/2) jumping and moving his arms...! It was difficult for me to do the jumping jacks with laughing! :laugh:

:laugh: Yes, mine wants to climb on me during abs too!

Level1 - Day 2 Done, uggh, hopefully, I can keep this going. Took a break yesterday because I couldn't move. Who knew this with a 30 min. workout? Anyhow, it feels good. Maybe if I am up for it I will do it again tomorrow. I am at least going to get comfortable with Level1 before I move on. It may take me 10 times but I will get there!

Hi everyone! Finished day 6 just level 1 today! I feel like I could have done level 2 also but I have a super long busy day of work today so I didn't want to push myself. I get really hungry all day after long workouts and I don't have time to eat so then I am very crabby. I still have been going over my calories all weekend, but it is better than normal because I eat good all day and then mess up at night I'm still proud that I do well during the day. football game tonight woohoo! :drinker:

Good afternoon, everyone.

I hope you all were doing better than I was this weekend. I haven't done any exercising, other than walking, since Thursday. On Thursday, I started feeling some pain on the left side of my chest (muscle, not heart attack) and it got worse as the weekend progressed. Last night, I finally got a good sleep and haven't had any muscle spasms or difficulty breathing today. I'm thinking I should take it easy and stick to walking tonight so I don't agitate the muscle before it's completely healed. I hope to be back on the Shred wagon very, very soon. I actually WANT to exercise! All weekend, I thought about giving it a try, but thought it would only make the condition last longer.

I did a terrible job eating this weekend and am trying to make up for it today. I was too scared to weigh in this morning, so I ignored my scale and figured I'd give myself a day or two to get back on track before having a meeting with my scale. Terrible!

Good luck exercising everyone and I hope to join in again soon!
