Level 3
Sorry to have skipped on posting a day, but I feel kind of silly posting a thread for just myself :frown: If anyone is still at it, I am & will be checking in for any reports, but I'll just leave this thread open for the rest of our Level 3 journey. Hopefully eveyone is doing well & feel free to check in here or in the…

Level 3 - Day 2 (day 22)
Day 2 of Level 3. Thanks to all who are hanging in there (if anybody's left that hasn't already finished.) Keep up the great work :smile:

After Measurements & Photos
I'm so proud of us all! Whatever your stage of completion... If & when you feel like sharing your own results from the Shred we're willing to accept them :smile: Be proud of your accomplishments. Whether big or small, you DID accomplish something. That in itself is amazing.
-
Level 3 - Day 1 (day 21)
Congrats everyone! We've made it to level 3 :smile: I'm so proud of all who are sticking with it, have already surpassed us, & even those who haven't quite made it here with us. I definitely get the burn out of doing this thing twice! I'll be posting a thread for After measurements & photos today since we are all at…

Level 2 - Day 10 (day 20)
Last day of Level 2... AND we're 2/3's of the way finished :smile: Congrats to everyone for making it this far. I'm so proud we've all stuck with it! I know I can feel a difference in my body already. My weight is almost the same from the start (as my eating habits are horrible,) but I can definitely feel & see some…
-
Level 2 - Day 9 (day 19)
Welcome back everyone! We're so close to Level 3... I'm really looking forward to moving on & putting my building strength to good use :smile: My core is definitely stronger. I'm finally able to make it through the entire time for the plank moves... no more knees for me! It also might be time to up my weights on a couple…

Level 2 - Day 8 (day 18)
Day 18... Bring it on!

Before Measurements & Photos
It's always good to have a point of reference. Even if the photos are for your eyes only, we should really consider taking some before shots to look at once we have completed our 30 days. Measurements are also a great way to judge progress. Even when results are hard to see, the numbers don't lie :smile: I'll be taking my…

Level 2 - Day 7 (day 17)
Good Morning! Look at that # ... Day 17 (& for a lot of you, that # is even higher!) We are more than half way completed :smile: I'm so excited! My favorite part of the wrokout though...? Coming inside, dripping sweat, & putting a big red X through that day's # on my print out calendar. It makes me feel even better than…
-
Level 2 - Day 6 (day 16)
Sorry for the late start today shredders! I went to the gym last night & then out with some friends... I got some much needed sleep this morning. Hopefully everyone's weekend went well. We're on to our second week at level 2! Getting stronger every day. I do enjoy level 2 more this second time around. I feel great after…
-
Level 2 - Day 3 (day 13)
Day 3 (at least of the week if you're doing your own schedules) is here! How's everyone hanging in? I know it's still hot here, hopefully you all have some air conditioning to keep you cool... although feeling the sweat dripping after seeing Jillian each day is one of the best feelings! I'm not a huge fan of level 2, but…
-
Level 2 - Day 5 (day 15)
Woo-hoo... it's Friday... & double bonus: we're half way done with the shred :drinker: For those who are more than half way, congrats to you as well! I don't know if I'd be strong enough or willing to go a straight 30 days. You're all very inspirational. After today, the weekend is here. Enjoy your rest/catch-up time!
-
Level 2 - Day 4 (day 14)
Morning Shredders! Where did everyone go :huh: ? Hopefully everyone is still getting their workout in. I worry that by Day 30 "we" may end up being down to 1 or 2 people... but at least we will have done it. Commitment & dedication are key to completing any challenge put in front of you. So, to those who remain, stay…
-
Level 2 - Day 2 (day 12)
Morning shredders! Hope everyone is still feeling good & going strong! My arms are definitely feeling a little burn from our progression yesterday. Hopefully we can all keep going.. despite any lack of balance (yep, I admit it... I fell over a couple times :grumble: ) or frustration with moves (I'm talking to you plank!)…
-
Level 2 - Day 1 (day 11)
Finally moving on to level 2 :drinker: I'm excited to finally be moving on from all of those jumping jacks, jump ropes, & leg kicks... but plank variations...:grumble: they're just not my thing. I can definitely feel the core strength & stamina that has been building during level 1 during almost every move in this level &…
-
Level 1 - Day 10
Good morning everyone! I'm so saddened to hear of several injuries from multiple members of the group :frown: I definitely wish you all speedy recoveries & the best of wishes whether you are able to continue on with us in your own modified way or if you have gotten to the point of no return. While the group response may be…

Group Schedule & Links
Here are a couple resources I've collected for the group. The first link is to a printable schedule for the duration of the shred. While there are 30 workout days listed, this group will only be scheduled for shredding Monday - Friday, allowing for the weekends off. These days are great for resting up, preventing complete…

Level 1 - Day 9
Good morning shredders! I hope everyone is finding the time & motivation to keep going. I know I've been struggling this week, finding the inspiration to push past feelings of laziness & resignation, but checking in here & seeing all of you succeeding despite your own struggles (whether they be with the shred or…

Level 1 - Day 8
Day 8 already?! Only a couple of more rounds @ Level 1 & before you know it, Level 2 will be upon us! Way to stick with it & push through to a better you. You may not see the differences in yourself... don't feel discouraged... the internal changes that come with the dedication it takes to deal with Jillian & new or…
-
Level 1 - Day 7
We're one day closer :bigsmile: Keep up all of the hard work & we'll be resting up for level 2 before we know it! We're getting stronger & more capable every day... every drop of sweat, flushed face, & sore muscle will be worth it come completion day!
-
Level 1 - Day 6
It's the start of a new week & there are only 5 more days of Level 1 :happy: ! Hopefully everyone is ready to go & feeling strong. Remember, when the workouts get tough, tedious, or you simply just wish that the person who invented the jumping jack had never been born... you CAN do this! We are all in this together & will…
-
Level 1 - Day 5
Ready for day 5? Last shred day for the week! It seemed that a few members had a rough time with day 4 (including myself,) but today's a new day! Hydrate, stretch, do some modifications... just keep moving & we'll make it through. All of you are such an inspiration!
-
Level 1 - Day 4
Each day we seem to be dropping members reporting in on their progress :frown: It is okay though to just check in for the support & motivation from others' posts in the threads! As long as we're still pushing through, how you participate is entirely up to you. Stay strong shredders! The week's almost up :smile: Bring on…
-
Level 1 - Day 3
Onward to Day 3 :happy: Hope everyone's still going strong & not too sore!
-
Level 1 - Day 2
To be prepared for all those who rise & shine earlier than myself, I think I'm going to be posting the New Topic for the upcoming day's Shred on the evenings before. I can never get to sleep at a reasonable hour (I work late & then often go to the gym AFTER,) & never know when I'm actually going to make it out of bed in…

Member Introductions
This is just a place to say hi, introduce ourselves & just get to know a little about eachother. Feel free to share your story, goals for the shred, or any long-term ambitions you have for your fitness journey!

Level 1 - Day 1
Morning shredders! Hope everyone's pumped for Day 1 ! I'm headed to bed pretty late so I won't get to catch up with Jillian until a little later than planned in the morning, but I'll be checking in to see how everyone did with the first day a.s.a.p. :smile: Remember to post your "befores" in the other thread for an ending…

At Home Workout with Dumbbells
Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to exercising & am looking for some help/ideas for working out at home. I have a small set of weights (3, 5, & 8lbs along with a 8lb medicine ball) and need some help on figuring out what to do & where to start. I have no idea the types of exercises or the amount (reps./sets) I should be trying…
