Do any of the workouts on here have either of the dudes in the video, or are these all just timers with what you're supposed to do? I'm technically still on the 14 day trial and I'm not entirely sure I like the way these workouts are set up. I like to have the dudes providing encouragement and just talking. If they're all set up like the Shredded Ninja, I think I'll just go back to using the YouTube workouts. It's not that the experience here is entirely bad, it's alright but if I'm not going to have videos with Dan or Brandon in them, I'm not sure it's worth the price.

This was my first week of doing the Shredded Ninja program. I thought I was ready for working out five days a week, but my body was struggling to keep up. As much of a go getter as I usually am, I think I'm gonna have to try four days a week. I tend to push myself very hard. Even on days that are supposed to be easy, I keep going until I burn at least 400 calories. I'm pretty bummed about it because in my late teens, I was a long distance runner and I could run ten miles a day, five days a week, plus other exercises like it was nothing. I'm only 38. I feel like I'm capable of a lot more, but my body is saying no.

I also think I may have something wrong with my spine. My shape is very uneven. I was told I had scoliosis when I was young but that it was only temporary because I was a young teen and still growing. I'm beginning to wonder if I never grew out of it. It's either that or wildly uneven fat distribution. I don't know.

Anyway, this week was a struggle, but I'm still motivated and can't wait to do the thing again on Monday! I ordered a kettlebell and resistance bands and I can't wait to use them!

Shredded Ninja W1D1 in the books! Feeling great!
