Get some water and potassium in your system. If you already took a hot shower/bath, try and put a heating pad on your legs (or hop in the bathtub again for a few minutes) them immediately afterwards, ice your legs/calves. It should help relax any tension in your muscles. When the tension releases, do some stretches. Try to…

I have the 30 day shred, 6 week 6 pack and yoga meltdown. I also have banish fat boost metabolism and no more trouble zones, but I like the first three the best because they're only about 30 minutes long each. I'd have to say the 6 week 6 pack and yoga meltdown hold my favorite. I love the shred as well, but I've done it…

W2 D3 done!! Kind of weird... it was wayyyy too hot to run outside like normal today (85 and with the heat index it's almost 90 O_O) so I decided to run on the treadmill for the first time. What. A. Difference. Why is it so much easier on the treadmill? Maybe I'm going too fast outside? I don't think so, cause I feel like…

Holy crap I think I'm going to have to do week 2 day 2 (or 3) more than once! I'm getting so winded by the end of these runs, and I'm not really sure why. I'm doing JM's 6 week 6 pack on my day off, as well as horseback riding. Hmm... Glad to hear everyone else is keeping up! Keep up the good work guys :)

I started week 2 day 1 today. Only because the next two days, it's supposed to be 90 degrees here, and even spiking to 80 in the morning and night... so I figured I'd knock out day 1 today. Maybe go on the treadmill on Tuesday. I learned my lesson to eat a good breakfast before running. Today I just had some of my…

Ahahaha so funny story. Today was day 3 of week 1 for me. Except I'm considering doing week 2 starting Saturday.. Anyways.. it's been raining here ALL day. And around 5ish, it stopped. So I looked at the weather channel, and online, and found it's not supposed to rain for another hour or two.. so I went out to do my day 3.…

Can I join in on this? I just started on Saturday, and completed day 2 today. It was pretty awesome :)

Start the c25k program. I started it and I'm on day 2, and it's fabulous. If you have a smart phone, get the app... it really helps. (Set it to the woman's voice.. she's a bit more motivating :) ) And I don't think you're too overweight to run. But perhaps start off with jogging.. and if you're sore at all in your joints…

yeah the biking with headphones isn't illegal in my state. Especially cause I live so close to a college campus, pretty much everyone is riding with headphones. It's pretty rare to see people without them. And the music helps keep me going :) But I appreciate the concern!

Thanks! These are all fantastic tips! Keep um' coming! :) And congrats and starting the c25k today!! I'm pretty excited about it!

Done with day 4!! Definitely much easier than before.. I was able to keep up with everything except the side lunges! Woot!

I'm in.. about 2 months ago I started the shred, got all the way to level 3 (was going to start level 3 in TWO DAYS) and then my college finals started up. Needless to say, 2 1/2 weeks with no working out other than my normal activities... and about 5 lbs were gained back. SO, I'm on day 4 L1 of the shred as of right now..…

Thanks guys! Yeah this all definitely helping. I've been riding my horse for about 14 years, so my body is pretty used to that part.. and the feeding I've been doing for about a year and a half now, but there are times when I'll get home and just be so physically exhausted (cause sometimes the horses are farther away, or I…

Day 8 Level 1 done.. weird.. I'm super sore today. Like, the front of my right thigh is KILLING (not the quad, more to the outside of my leg).. and it's odd because I didn't feel sore until today. huh. I'm going to try level 1 again tomorrow.. and then perhaps move to level 2..

D7 L1 done! Kept up completely and didn't stop once :)

I'm already on day 6 of the shred... is it okay if I still get support from you guys? The other boards I'm in don't seem to have people that are very active... My name is Paula I've never completed the 30 day shred, but I'm on day 6, level 1 of it right now. I've attempted to start many times but never finished.. Current…

D6L1 done! Already feeling a lot stronger and much more able to keep up with Natalie. Except I still can't do pushups from my feet haha. 4 more days till I'll move up to level 2!

Hey guys.. I'm on D5 L1 today after I get done running around... perhaps I'll do the no more trouble zones as well? Glad to see everyone's doing so well :)

I'm a "first year senior" at Michigan State University. Definitely is a unique challenge in college to lose weight.

I just finished D4L1 of the shred, but I'd still love the support :) And I think I'm going to take a day off every 6-7 days... it is important for your body mentally/physically to at least get one rest day to recuperate. Good luck everyone :)

yup I'm on day 4 level 1 today! Yesterday I did the shred along with her yoga meltdown DVD.. my back is killing me today! I'm still just going to do the shred today though.. And I'm doing it off of U-verse on demand.. but I have the DVD's as well for when I work up to the higher levels :)

I would most definitely recommend the shred. It is quite difficult at first, but the best thing to keep telling yourself is that you need to get through the pain first before it can feel good. The 3-2-1 system she has (strength, cardio, abs) is fantastic. It really helps raise your heart rate and get you toned in a good…

I'd love to do it as well! I actually just started it.. again.. as well. I keep starting the shred, then getting through like.. 10 days of level one and just stopping. I hope this'll help! Also- yeah I do agree Jillian can get a bit annoying hahaha. I memorized the circuits from level one, so I just turn on the DVD, turn…

Hey! I've had the 30 day shred for quite some time now.. I'd say maybe a little under a year.. hahaha. But I LOVE it. I just did it again today and it's such an incredible workout in such a short amount of time. It's perfect because I can't say "I don't have time to work out" when all I need to do is set aside 20 minutes.…

I'm in :) My goal is 15 lbs, but I'll try for this as well! SW: 140 (with holiday weight) GW: 125

Basically what everyone said pretty much sums it up-but I'll tell you my take on it. I'm on Orthotricylcin-lo.. a low dose birth control. I've been on it for about.. I think 3 or 4 years now. It didn't make me gain weight initially, but then again I didn't get a huge amount of side effects with it in general. I have taken…

Did level 2 for the first time today.. had to turn it off right before circuit 3 because I was getting light headed (and not the normal amount :-p). WHOA it's hard. I think that TOM had something to do with it because upon starting the workout I already felt really crappy. So I think I'll go back to level 1 for about a…

I started it 3 days ago! After the first day I was really sore, but then worked out anyway, and I'm even more sore today haha. So I took today off, but tomorrow I'm going to start D3L1. I wonder if there's any specific way to do it? Like if I just do the shred for 5 or 6 days a week for 30 days, will it work? I'm assuming…

Welcome to MFP! I'm here for similar reasons and I'm also 21. More so here to try and get into that bikini and be happy to strut my stuff! :-D btw I totally remember that episode... then again, Miranda ran marathons O_O Anyways, welcome! Feel free to add me as a friend, I'd love as much motivation and support as I can get!…

you bring up good points :) Yeah maybe I'll give that a try... unfortunately I don't have the money for a better bike. The one I have (just to get me around campus) cost me about 50 bucks at walmart, haha. But, I will definitely give it a try one of these days. Thank you for the tip :) Oh and yes-I only jump my horses…
