30 day shred
- Thread starter kirsty2012
- Start date
Day 2 level 1 down 
not so bad with aches & pains - I can still walk this morning - much to the relief of my dog Doing EA Active for a week before must have helped as I certainly haven't done any other exercise for years! (apart from doggy walking) Although now my right knee keeps cracking!

I wonder where this myth came from?
A pound of muscle and a pound of fat both weigh a pound! Muscle does NOT weigh more than fat, it's leaner and therefore takes up less space, and obviously looks better. At first when exercising you may retain water which could lead to a bit of a gain. But gaining whilst exercising is not the result of putting on muscle.
Well done to all those that have been brave enough to try this DVD-I bought mine off ebay at xmas and it's still in its' wrapping
I'll be following this thread closely when I re start WW, it might inspire me to open the DVD!
Good Luck with Level 2 Sharkbait1983 & Good Luck to everyone else attempting & about to start the Shred :character00115: I am doing all the easiest versions at the mo, but am trying to build up to the harder one bit by bit. (absolutely no chance at doing a full press up yet )
Re. the fat & muscles thing I think it may be in terms of size a pound of muscle is smaller than a pound of fat. My feeling is that you are increasing the size & weight of your muscles, but are also losing fat - your measurements may change but you may possibly not lose as much weight. I took my measurements just before I started this DVD so I will see how it affects me.

hi missa - the music is quite dull on the DVD but after you have done the workout for a few days you start to remember what you are supposed to be doing - i turn the DVD volume all the way down and play my own itunes playlist! Jillian is absolutely fab - admittedly scary to start with but she knows what she is talking about and I started to see the results after a few days.
To everyone - I have just finished Day One of Level 2 and OMG what a step up from Level 1 - I started trying to do the harder versions of the workouts and ended up following Anita with the beginner moves, having said that (and I cannot believe I am about to say this!) I actually enjoyed the workout
- I encourage you all if you are just starting the DVD to stick with level 1 until you are happy that your fitness has improved enough to move on! I will report back as to how my muscles have fared tomorrow night - I am hoping that I am able to walk at least!!!

mrs lever - great news! yep completely agree prepare yourself by watching it first and then go for it tomorrow! the aches and pains will subside after the first few days I promise - it will be worth the effort!
sooshine - your post made me giggle! I was screaming at Jillian this evening but once the workout was done I realised I had enjoyed pushing myself that little bit harder! This feeling of enjoyment may of course disappear when I cannot move tomorrow morning!
