Thanks for the responses everyone. I'm taking everything into consideration. Those plyometrics sound really good too. Thanks for the links!

Thanks for your respones! Weights it is! Know of any good leg exercises? I don't have access to a gym.

So cool! Thanks for sharing.

Hi. New here. I wanted to join Slytherin as well. I'm not sure about what to do or what is going on--I'm completely lost but will stay tuned.

I did it for about 20 days with a group on this site. I started at about 136 pounds. First week I lost 6 pounds. Afterwards,I slowly gained about 3 pounds of muscle. My body looked more trim and tight. My muscles were more defined (especially my upper body). I'm gonna start it again--and finish this time...or perhaps do…

Great, a lot of beginners. It seems a lot of us are coming off of illness/sickness. More the reason to go harder!

Yay! I have a buddy. Hopefully, more will chime in. I'm hoping to get through this and enter a real 5K.

27. Looking to burn fat and gain muscle. If pounds come off--fine. If not, thats fine too. I'm more concerned with tone and shape. You all can feel free to add me.

ZUMBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jillian Michael's Banish Fat Boost Metabolism.....its even better than the 30 Day Shred, IMO.

I'm in.

Day 16 Level 2 Day 9 Complete Nothing new to report...

I was bored so I did Level 1 in addition to completing Level 2 earlier. I have boredom/attention issues... And one more thing...I'm starting to gain weight. My body is turning from smush to 'firm" so I can't complain.

Day 15 Level 2 / Day 8 Complete Back to level 2 today. I'm avoiding Level 3 like the plague because its all strength and little cardio for me. I wub cardio. So, we're exactly at the halfway point and I'm about 8 pounds lighter. My arms are getting "cuts" and the backs of my thighs are like rocks, lol. You can also see the…

Sorry all. I've been MIA but I have been working out. Saturday's Check-in Day 13 Level 2 / Day 7 (I only got through circuit 1 before I realized I was late for work...oops) I did Banish Fat Boost Metabolism DVD later that night to make up for it. Sunday's Check-in Day 14 Level 3 / Day 1 So...I was bored with Level 2 and…

Day 12 Level 2 / Day 6 Complete I hate plank twists...and thats all I have to say about that...

This one isnt with the kettlebells but it is done in circuits. It has a warmup (5 minutes) followed by seven 6-minute circuits (42 minutes) and ends with a cooldown (5 minutes). Its really worth checking out. I love her circuit method.

I was having a blast as well but I'm noticing a trend where I get bored around the 5th day. But I'm going to try to stick it out for the full 10 days with Level 2 though. In order to deal with my "boredom", I decided to do Jillian's Banish Fat Boost Metabolism DVD. THIS WAS INTENSE!!! It was a challenge from start to…

Day 11 Level 2 / Day 5 Complete My breathing is a lot more controlled now. I'm getting better with my plank positions and form in general. This level was exciting at first but I'm starting to get bored. :( I'm gonna keep at it though.

Just finished Day 10 Level 2 / Day 4 I reached up to touch my hair and yup, someone is gettin' some GUNS! My stomach is MUCH flatter. Yesterday, my coworker actually asked me what my secret was, lol. I told her, JILLIAN!

Level 2 Day 9 Complete! My shoulders are SUPER sore. Tis all...

^^^^Yup, what sugarlovebug and ninerbuff said.

Yes, it does! I started on Level 1 (I did it every day). I was sore for 4 days straight. But by days 5 and 6, I was no longer sore and I could get through the entire workout without stopping. I mover on to Level 2 on Day 7 and the cycle is reapeating itself. My body is sore (Mainly my shoulders) but I know it will last for…

Level 2 Day 8 Complete I am loving Level 2. It is soooo challenging! I'm really liking the workouts on this one. My shoulders are sore from all of the plank positions, but I'll take it. I lost another pound today for a total of 7 pounds since starting the Shred with you guys. 5 more pounds to go until my goal weight. My…

Thanks! I hope it keeps up. And hopefully, the scale will turn around for you as well. I think someone mentioned earlier that they gained before they lost.

Some cheap healthy foods you can add are: Whole-Wheat or Multi Grain Pasta Brown Rice 100% Whole Wheat Bread Oatmeal Canned Beans (I love black beans and kidney beans) Get the low sodium ones if ya can. Frozen Vegetables Canned Tuna Cheap fruits: apples and bannas Cheap Vegetables: carrots, potatoes, onions Also, if the…

Level 2 Day 7 Complete Level 1 was no longer challenging me so I decided I was ready to move on to Level 2. So today was my first day on Level 2 and it was a KILLER workout. It was hard but I enjoyed every minute of it. The amount of sweat pouring off of me was insane--and this is coming from someone who never sweats. I…

Level 1 Day 6 Complete Strength training is all good but I feel like I need more cardio in my life...I may have to do some cardio separate from this workout. Tis all...

I've lost 5 pounds since we started this group. I'm shocked but happy. 7 more pounds to go. Day 5 // Level 1 Complete! I'm finding that my body isn't as sore anymore. My endurance has improved DRASTICALLY and I can finish the whole workout start to finish with no breaks.
