Keep going Linds. You don't need to be sore to get a good workout. You're gaining muscle. Only a few more days ;)

Hey! I have a quickie question for you all...

I have the dvd (started it before I got a trainer), and have been thinking I could use some more exercise in my routine. Do you guys think itd be okay to do the shred 5 days a week, in addition to the 5 I already go to the gym (2 weight training, 3 cardio)... I would probably overlap 3 of the days but the other two only do one exercise. Or, I guess I could do both the same 5 days and rest completely for two.

What are your thoughts? Figured you guys are pros so you might have advice!

linalin - I'm sure it would be fine to do both. For me, the Shred is enough though. I HATE working out & I feel like I get my total body workout in the 25 minutes. By the end of the first round of 30DS, I had lost a ton of inches & 9lbs. Just my 2 cents... :)

OK i def. have to restart! I hate to admit this but I fell off the wagon this weekend and this week. I've had a really stressful past few days, but that is ZERO excuse! I'm forcing myself to get back on the wagon, but not until after this weekend. I will be out of town this weekend with no access to a DVD player, etc. so Monday.....restart day!

You guys are shredding EVERY DAY? Yipes! When I did this last time I alternated- shred Mon, other cardio Tue, Shred Wed, etc. Maybe I need to get my booty in gear this time! Here goes nothing... (i'll post my stats later)

4/11- L1D1
4/12- skipped
4/13- L1D3

I have never completed the whole 30 Day Shred before. I've never even made it to level 2. I think the most I've done is five days of level 1. I WILL do it this time... I began yesterday with level 1. I'm thinking I can try to lose 8 pounds over the next 30 days. I've been pretty consistent in my weight loss (2 lbs/week) and also, I just started to work out. So I think working out could help me lose the weight just as fast, if not, faster.

Starting Weight: 186.6
Goal Weight: 178.6

4/12 - L1 D1

As far as today goes, we'll see. I'm incredibly sore from yesterday. Is it good to exercise when you're sore?

New Shredder
 

So here is a bit about myself. I am 26, I eat using weight watcher guidelines, I exercise early morning when I first get up and I also exercise at night after supper I had previously been doing cardio and some strenght both morning and night but then I heard about 30DS and just had to try it. I have been on a wicked plateau for about 2 months now bobbing between 155 and 152 and never really breaking through to the 140's. I started 30DS 6 days ago and I just want to document the program for others to see. I must have been living under a rock for the past I don’t know year,, but I just heard of 30DS and thought I would give it a try. I am getting married on May 28th and I really want to look good in a bikini on my honeymoon. We are going to San Francisco and LA… So here we go!!

Starting Measurements

Bust: 37.5” Hips: 42.5” Waist: 31.25” Left Thigh: 25” Right Thigh: 25”

Day 1
Level: 1
Weight: 152.2
Other Exercise: none
I finished the warmup, circuits, and cool down just fine. It was really tough though. My goal is to work my way up, so that I do not have to do any modified movements and can go hard core all the way. In the evening I had started to stiffen up alot...

Day 2
Level: 1
Weight: 151.2
Other Exercise: walk/run for 25 minutes on the treadmill
This morning and in the evening I was so so so stiff and sore.. It was tough to make myself do the video again with me being so stiff but I am going to to try and commit to doing 30DS every single day for 30 days.. So I did and once I got going is was not too too bad..

Day 3
Level: 1
Weight: 150.6 (have not seen this number in awhile:carrot:)
Other Exercise: walk/run for 24 minutes.
Not so stiff this morning. I am switching 30DS over to evenings, because it is pretty intense for my morning work out. Both my BF and my mom noticed that I was looking trimmer so that was good. I have noticed a big difference in my arms..

Day 4
Level: 1
Weight: 151.6
Other Exercise: walk/run for 30 minutes.
not hurting so much and I am able to focus on my breathing and form during the workout. So my endurance must be increasing.

Day 5
Level: 1
Weight: 152.0
Other Exercise: walk/run for 36 minutes.
I started interval running this morning. 2 minutes at 3.5mph then 3 minutes at 5.0mph. This has helped increase the intensity of my morning cardio routine. The BF did the shred with me today.. lol.. He sees the difference it is making in my body and now wants to participate.. too funny!!

Day 6
Level: 1
Weight 152.6 (super disappointing.... ANYONE ELSE GET THIS??? )
Other Exercise: Walk/run for 24 minutes.
I am not sore at all anymore, I still have trouble with the side lunges, and I am still doing girl pushups but I think I will work on these tomorrow... I have noticed my clothes are looser, which is nice I noticed my love handles/muffin top diminishing, and the BF noticed I have develop a tiny 2 pac on the top of my abs.. woop woop!!

Day 7
