  • I just had the tiniest bit of spotting too - like you, just a bit when I wiped - and I finished my period around a week ago. Maybe it is from the working out.
  • I'm not moving up till Thursday, but I remember what a HUGE jump it was the last time I did the shred. Level 2 seems crazy hard compared to Level 1. I already decided that the first time I do it I'm sticking 100% with Anita to see if I can make it through and figure out what's hard. Will probably just use my 2 lb weights…
  • I'm just getting back into exercising, so I'm sticking with the shred right now. Occasionally I'll do some extra activity, like sledding or skating with my little guy, but no real work-outs other than the shred. If I get to the end of the 30 days without my knee problem acting up (so far so good! Knock on wood) I'll make a…
  • Yesterday was Day 8 for me. I've been doing great with the Shred, I can see a huge difference. I can get through Level 1 with no breaks now, and I'm pretty much flowing Natalie on most things, except for still doing the push-ups on my knees. I weighed myself yesterday - only down 0.1 lbs, but I had a big cheat night on…
  • I do them on my knees too, and an arou d 14 and 8 as well. In the summer of 2010, before I got sick and stopped exercising I was up to 23 regular ones (aka not on knees)!!!
  • Yeah, it's during the lunge/bicep curls, the first time they do them. Jillian is standing next to her pointing studs out, then when she walks over to Anita, Natalie stops lunging lol
  • I did Level 1, Day 1 this morning... not totally Day 1 though, as I did 2 days last week to ease into it and see if it bothered by knee. So I don't quite feel like I'm going to die tonight. Here is my weight and measurements from this morning: Weight: 158.8 lbs Neck 12.2 Right Bicep 12.8 Chest 41 Waist 32 Hips 42.2 Right…
  • I enter it as circuit training for 25 minutes, if that helps. :)
  • I usually log it as 25 minutes of circuit training. Also, I plan to do the 30 days straight as well, but will have to see how my knee holds up. I work shifts as well and am on call, so occasionally I might be forced to skip a day if I just can't squeeze it in. I have the Nike fit app on my iphone though, so am planning to…
  • Weighed and measured myself this morning: Weight: 158.8 Neck 12.25 Right Bicep 12.8 Chest 41 Waist 32 Hips 42.25 Right Thigh 25.25 Right Calf 16 I'll be weighing myself every Monday, but I usually only do measurements every 4-6 weeks, so I'll probably do them again at the end of the 30 days.
  • I find the side lunges with anterior raises the hardest. I have to use only one weight for those ones, just holding it with both hands, and I still sometimes have to just do the lunges and stop the weights for a few seconds.
  • I log it as 25 mins of circuit training so I'm not counting the chatting/warm-up/cool-down.
  • Check out anothermotherrunner.com - they have lots of great tips for runners, and a great and active Facebook page too. They also have a great book out (run like a mother) and a new one coming that has specific training plans in it (train like a mother). I haven't been able to run in over a year due to a knee issue, and I…
  • Also, I didn't take measurements last week but plan to tomorrow, I think it's a great idea!
  • I'll join you! I actually started last Monday, but I only did the shred video a couple of times... I've been taking it easy as I have an as-of-yet undiagnosed knee issue (possible some kind of arthiritis) and I wasn't sure how it would react. Seems OK so far though, so I'm going to step it up this week. I may not always do…
  • Hey! I just started the 30 day shred again this morning (Monday) as well, so I'll do it with you! I am going to try to do it right after I get up most mornings, although I work shift work and am on call, so that isn't always possible. Day 2 in the morning!
