Shred 4-23-09 anyone else? Just trying to motivate ;)

greendiamond · Marc Jacobs

I am going to do it when I get home from work. It will just be day 3 for me. My quads and hammies are SO sore. I went on a SUPER long walk at lunch time, and it was painful, but getting extra blood in those muscles had made them feel better. I can feel a difference in my legs having only done it twice, but my legs respond really quickly to exercise. I was complaining to DH last night that I wished the rest of my body would respond like that!

So, I'm sitting here having recently finished day three, and I can't place the song I am singing in my head. It's the damn lame background music from the shred video!

greendiamond- lmbo!!!!!

believe me, it really gets annoying by the time you hit level 3! I tried to set it where I would only hear her but she dosen't give you that option! Sometimes I feel like putting it on mute but I really like hearing her motivating words.

I'm glad you like Level 3, Tati!

I'm trying not to think too much about how I want to look exactly and which body parts I wish were smaller, etc. After all, it doesn't really matter what I want to look like does it? I want to be healthier, stronger, and in better shape - I'm willing to accept my body however it looks when it is those three things and I can actually keep it that way without too much effort. No matter how much I want my thighs to be skinnier, they're just ... not! And that was the one thing that is never, ever skinny on me. Why fight it? I know who'd win already!

I should have time to do my last day on Level 2 today - I can do the whole thing without stopping now!

So I haven't done the Shred for about 3 weeks until today because if I got home from work and it was light outside, I went for a 3-4 mile run instead. I left off at day 8 on Level 1 but when I decided to do the Shred tonight I felt ambitious and went for Level 2. Not sure what I was thinking.....

HOLY CRAP!! I was sweating like crazy and was yelling at Jillian telling her I hated her!!! Geez louise! This level kicked my butt!!!

I anticipate being very sore tomorrow.....will update later :)

Tati · Chanel

LoMish- that's great that your running!!! and that you went straight into level 2!

well today I did level 3, total days on Shred 24

I just started Shredding yesterday, in addition to my core strength training and runs on the elliptical. I did level 1, but I thought it was a little too easy for me since I've been doing other pretty intense workouts for the past month or so with other videos and the elliptical, so I think tonight I'll go to level 2.
