Ok, now I feel it in my pecs too!!!! But no quads which is where I need it the most!! Kells make me work harder today!! edited by Pingu on 02/02/2011 I'll be cracking that whip Pingu. I'm aching today... But it's a good ache. Can't wait to do day 2... Gonna stick to being Natalie (except for the push ups ;-) )

Day 2 of Round 2 done and it is still hard but feeling stonger feels brilliant. Keep up the good work ladies. If you carry on for the full 30 days without too many breaks (try for no more than 1 day) then you will see results both physically and mentally. If you are looking to lose weight consider whether you really need to consume extra calories because you have exercised. Please also be very careful with energy drinks. One participant was downing 500ml of Powerade (192cal/798kj) before Shredding and if she felt tired was have 300ml Lucozade (213cal/894kj) afterwards deleting the calorie burning benefit of the program. [u'>IMO[/u'> energy drinks are for athletes or those participating in extended exercise and judging by our posts that group does not include any of us ;) Have a great day Shred Heads and remember it is never too late to join in :)

I think I heard her say you do each level until you feel ready to move up to the next one but I'm not sure. I was planning to do level one for ten days, level two for ten days then level three for ten days - would that work? I have a feeling I'm going to hurt tomorrow too. That is how I did it. 3 levels 10 days each :)

Me too! I would like to know more about this program.. Need to lose 10 KG Sorry to be that dumb...but which program are you doing ? Would be interested. I need to loose 15kg... This is the ehow explanation: http://www.ehow.com/how_5363883_do-jillian-michaels-day-shred.html If you google 30 Day Shred you will find plenty of reviews. There is also a Jillian Michael's diet but this thread is not about that. I did find a review for it however on the Everydiet website: http://www.everydiet.org/diet/jillian-michaels-diet I am a fan because it takes less than 30 minutes a day including turning on the dvd and after doing it for a month both my daughter and I have seen results. The dvd is not available in the UAE however you can purchase it online from Amazon or download it legally from Vuze or similar or you can email me on xxx.

Day 1 complete. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but then again I was only using sand in bottles, instead of hand weights, and they only weighed 1 lb each! Does this still count? I guess I know when I wake up tomorrow and see how much I ache!!! Good luck everyone. I only use 0.5kg weights - which is roughly the same as your 1lb weights. Better to start off light and increase. :)

Way to go girls :) Who else is joining us? Back to Day 1 for me following Natalie instead of Anita. [i'>Although I could only do one set of full push ups with the second set on my knees.[/i'> Even though this is my second time round I was sweating up a storm during the cardio bits. My husband better be impressed in March.

Trainers and gym gear at the ready. I'm off to the Fairy Godmother meeting (when DS gets his butt out of his cot) and then when he goes down for his lunchtime nap I am SHREDDING. Thanks for the inspiration, Cyclone T.
