Shredding Group Check In

Happy Day 1 Everyone!

Well, I made it through the 20 minutes this morning and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  The push ups killed me and I could not do them for the whole time and the last ab move (bicycle abs) was not really happening for me.  I had a few choice words for Jillian by that stage of the workout.  Other than those two things, it was hard but I made it. I also started off by using 2 lb weights but I think I may buy 3 lbs today...we will see how sore I am by this evening! 

I know this sounds crazy but I am looking forward to 5 days from now to see if I am any better at those push ups!

How did your shredding go?

Re: Shredding Group Check In

  • I just finished. Today is my first day back to work after 3 weeks (I teach) so it was hard getting up even earlier than I would have, but it's only a 20-min workout so it's not easy to talk myself out of that! I need yo keep reminding myself that no matter how hard it is to get out of bed, once I'm out, I'm fine. I got through the DVD but it's those standing lunges with anterior raises that get me--owwwwwww! Congrats to everyone who followed through today!

  • HI! I am on day 12. Can I still check in?

     

    This is my 2nd time doing the shred. It is the only thing that seems to give me results! :)

    I am on night 2 of the second level and hanging in there. Once you get past day 4 the soreness will go away and it gets easier.

     

    Good Luck everyone!

  • This is day 5 for me. I am loving it and just started looking forward to my workout every morning! I was really sore for the first few days, but now that has seemed to pass. I almost made it through all the pushups but those are really killing me. I'm hoping to move up to level 2 by Friday or Saturday! No weight loss yet, but I am noticing toning in my abs and "love handles."

  • I finished day 8 today, still on level 1. It's starting to get easier- at least my body isn't aching from dawn to dusk anymore although I have some residual soreness.

    On the plus side, I lost 2.7lbs last week and I can see my stomach looks flatter. I'm thrilled.

  • Good work ladies!!

    I realized this afternoon when I went to do it that I had lent it to my SIL. She is hopefully going to drop it off tomorrow. 

    So instead I did a yoga dvd, sit ups and push ups.

  • I havent started yet because I have worked the last four nights. I plan to go get it this afternoon and i cant wait to get started. Sounds like everyone is seeing results so that is really motivating me to do this!
