Monday Shred Thread

Guess who got up at 6:15 to shred? Thats right it was me and no one was more surprised then FI who swore at me for the early hour and went back to sleep.I'll be morning shreding for a while because I'm on teaching placement, so we'll see how it goes :)How is everyone doing?Question of the day: Is anyone postponing moving up a level on time because they feel they need more time at the lower level?

I got it in the morning. I am thinking of just staying at level 1 for 30 days, adding in weights for the next 10 but I know that's the cowards approach.I can do level 1 with some heavy breathing but I CAN do it pretty well now.I feel like if I hit level 2 and struggle i might keep it up.Anyone else feel this way?Thanks BubbleJ!!

I'm starting day 1 of the shread today after work.  I watched it yesterday, just to see what it would be like and the moves so I would know what to expect while doing it.  Hopefully I"ll be able to walk tomorrow!!

No Shred today.  I started level 2 last night and am pretty sore.  I was definitely ready to move up to level 2, but it was pretty hard.  I will pick up Level 2 Day 2 tomorrow morning, though!

My first day of Level 2 I had a really hard time getting through it and prob took more breaks than I should have.  After 2-3 days it was doable though. I've been really slacking with the shred, but I'm going to do it tonight and tomorrow morning.

I did day 1 of level 2 today. I definitely took more breaks than I wanted to, but I am finding that a lot of the strength moves focus on shoulders and that is a super weak area of my body. Good job on getting up early and shredding! I am doing the same and hope to keep it up once school starts, but I am not sure if I'll be able to. The kids wear me out and my sleep is dear when I need to be at work by 7am! It has been much easier right now when I don't have to be at work until 8.I don't think I'll postpone going up levels, but my goal is to be able to do the "harder" version of the moves when I do a second round of 30DS.

I completed shred before my wedding in June, I did it about every other day with walking 3-4 miles on my off days. It helped me lose about 20 lbs in 3ish months. I definitely helped me tone, I went from a size 10 to a 4/6. My goal is to get back on the work out wagon, I completed the second day of shred level 1 today. Speaking from experience, I felt that I was ready for the next level after 10 days, level 2 I thought was definitely the hardest. Level 3 is tough but some of the moves are pretty fun. Good luck!!

Hello! I'm Jennifer, I've been lurking on the board to see what kinds of things ppl are doing to get in shape and I decided to try this video. I was bored of my current ones, and bored of running and walking. I did Day 1, Level 1 and it was harder than I anticipated, but it went by quickly. I hope to combine it with a little cardio, I still walk the dog nightly with for 30 to 40 minutes. I like hearing success stories, yay, encourages me to get my butt in gear. My wedding's in January 2010, btw.
