Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
ummmm, i guess no one is here these days?
I am down with a really horrible cough and a cold, so i am not working out anyway 
I hope to start again tomorrow IF I am able to breathe…
Hopefully some of you would be posting something by then.
Happy trails to you, until we meet again!

Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
I started level 2 on wednesday .. I thought it was a bit more difficult than level 1. and I only did the first day, was too busy to do it yesterday. Hopefully, will get to do it today..
And yes Khawa, you were right, my arms are in pain!! Jeeez!
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
Hii!
Okay, so I'm on Day 5 now, and oh my! Such a difference from the first day, I tell ya! I don't need to take more than a one '5 second break', like Jillian says..so hey, it's working! So far the hardest part for me is near the end where you have to 'lunge' sideways, and the raise the weights to eye level. Holy buggers, that's hard! At that point, I'm looking forward to the jumping jacks :D
I weighed and measured myself the first day..and as tempting as it is to keep checking to see if I've lost anything, I'm gonna try and hold out until the 30 days are up. Let's see how long that works for. Lol!
What size weights are you guys using? 1lb, 5lbs?
The hardest things is trying to be consistent with it. Try not to skip one day! It just makes you lazy, and not want to do it the next day either. I still have to do mine for today, just waiting for the bachas and man to fall asleep. Let's hope I don't fall asleep with them :p
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
great to have you onboard smiley! the lunges were hard for me cuz god i couldnt keep balance.. then i had to stand next to my bed and try to get it to support me :D
i used the 5 lb weights... and i agree... you skip one day and it gets harder.
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
got pain in lower back and not working out from last week or so and i really miss it. Dman that heavy bed which i was trying to lift from one side to slide a bag underneath. hopefully will catchup soon.
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
Dearie me. I just read some of my posts and am now kicking myself for getting 1/3rd of the way there n then stopping! But today has been my first day off for like 3 weeks.. just dont get the time but I really need to find a way to incorporate this back in to my daily routine
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
^ That's the hardest part. We get caught up doing everyday stuff, especially on the weekends, that it's easy to say, 'okay, I'll do it tomorrow instead.' And that's nooooo good :D I try and think of it like this. If I know I'm going to have a busy day, I try and do the exercise in the morning, before I get a start on the day. That way I don't have to worry about it the rest of the day :p
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
Had a busy day today so no excercise but the funny thing is I don’t feel bad like I normally do when I am not able to workout since I am so happy with the progress so far (I am on level 3 just for the record). I feel awesome and life is good. 
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
Thanks khawa! I starting shredding again after a break of about a week…first I had a really bad bronchitis, then it was “that time of the month” 
I canNOT for the life of me workout during the first two days 
Anywhooooo, I started again today! (yay me!)
It wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be… may be I can move on to Level 2 after 3 days or so…we’ll see.
I gave myself a BIG pat on my back for starting again 
I think I will measure myself again today…lets see
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
Today I was a bit sore in the front of my thorax...you know, where the shoulders meet the thorax, and just below the clavicles.... but that was all!
I am so grateful it wasn't anything like the time when I started shredding.... ouch and double ouch! i couldn't even walk and I had to take ibuprofen to be able to sleep! I was hobbling around... i couldn't come down the stairs without crying out in pain... My FIL saw me hanging on to the stairs railing and going "aaaeee, ooeee" and he thought I had some sort of a sprain or something LOL... when I told him I had started exercising, he couldn't help laughing at me :D
I was afraid that I would be really sore after not exercising for a week... but TYG, it wasn't really bad!
I did my Level 1 again today... I would have been very proud of myself if I had not just gobbled 4 chocolate chip cookies :(
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
I'm tempted to restart this tomorrow. Wedding season begins in exactly 28 days and lasts for the remainder of 2011!
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
Today was the 6th day of Level 1 after my week-long break.
I am now sweating less and following Jillian better... I am doing the harder versions of all the exercises except the push-ups. I am still doing girly push-ups :p
Aaaaand I am still having trouble with the "side lunges with anterior raises"... they are oh-so-hard for me still.
Now I am getting bored with Level-1...maybe I will start Level 2 from tomorrow....eeeep, but I am scared of moving up a level coz i am afraid Jillian will kick my butt again when I go up a level heheheeee :ASA:
@Sahar02: Sooo, did you re-start the Shred as you planned?
Happy shredding everyone!

Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
i would really suggest getting your iron up before taking up strength training.
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
I got sick so my entire routine got all messed up! I think I will start from level 1 again for a few days and then slowly upgrade to level 2.
