Day 6 – My shoulders were killing me this morning (due to yesterday’s bike ride, methinks!) so I skipped shredding in the morning and did it after my 5K run tonight.

I also listened to my iPod while watching Jillian on the TV - it made the work out so much faster but I did have to pay attention! I feel like my abs are already stronger, as are my arms! This is probably all in my head, but it feels good regardless. My legs were still pretty sore so I did the modified squats and lunges again.

Day 5 – Today I did Level 1 of the Shred following a 14.1 mile bike ride.

I was proud of myself for doing the video even though I wasn’t 100% - after all, something is better than nothing! I just kept my legs in a soft knee bend position and focused on abs and arms. So I did a modified version of the 30 Day Shred Level 1 - no squats or lunges. I’m trying to build my knee muscles and slowly work my way into doing squats and lunges. All the squats and lunges in the 30 Day Shed are hard for me because I never do that type of exericse - it irritates my knees.

Day 4 – I woke and my knees were KILLING me this morning.

Oh, Anita!! I’m still doing modified push-ups for most of the push-ups, but I’m trying to slowly switch to the real thing. I can’t even breathe during the modified workouts and there you are, bouncing around like you’re on crack. However, I think it could be an excellent stand-alone workout for others! I had a great time this morning "shredding." Jillian, you are truly growing on me…I just love the "You can do it!" attitude. So, I view the Shred as a "supplement" to my training. NO! I have a 15 mile trail run in 1 month, and although I do believe this is a great workout, I also know it does not replace running 20 – 25 miles a week. Many people have asked if the Shred is going to replace my normal workouts.

Day 3 – I coupled the 30 Day Shred with a 10K run this morning.

Also, today was the first day with real hand weights (3 lbs) and boy oh boy… I felt the difference! The areas around my knees were the most sore, so I switched the moves I knew would irritate me the most (the static lunges), and I did a static squat instead. Luckily, I did the "Warm Up" and that got my blood moving. I used soup cans today because all I have are 5 lb. It made the 20 minute routine fly by! However, I need to invest in light hand weights - I think the maximum I could use in this routine is 2 lbs. I love how Jillian breaks the workouts into 3 minutes of strength training, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs. Also, I can tell I need to be very careful with the lunges and be sure my knee stays at a 90 degree angle.

I began at Level 1, and I must say… it is really hard, and I know I’m going to see results after 30 days of this workout! I was panting and sweating after only 5 minutes. Day 1 – I was SO excited to try the 30 Day Shred today!.But I’d like to increase my strength and tone up to make me a better runner! I notice my arms get tired and my abs often feel sore after running very long distances - signs that I am weak in those areas. Note: I am not doing this challenge because I feel like there is something wrong with the way I currently look - I am completely satisfied with the aesthetics of my physical appearance. But since this challenge requires a comparison of my own improvements, I decided it’s truly the best way for me (and you!) to tell if the 30 Day Shred really works or if the improvements are just in my head! Basically, I like measurable results. I don’t normally post my weight or measurements because I feel each woman is different, and we should not compare ourselves to others. Many of you have recommended I take before and after photos and measurements to compare my progress.
