    I used "The Shred" for 6 weeks prior to surgery on 6/2.  It really got me in great shape for surgery.  I did not do it every day but alternated with strenuous hiking and gym workouts. 

    I had a hysterectomy w/removal of tubes/ovaries and a lumpectomy on 6/2 and then ended up with a right mastectomy with immediate reconstruction (left augmetation) on 6/28.  My PS just gave me the okay to go back to exercising (with care, of course).

    Has anyone used the shred after mastectomy/reconstruction and how long after did you start it?  There's lots of jumping and use of the plank.

    Hi speach,

     I purchased this dvd 2 weeks ago in an attempt to jump start my metabolism.

     Level 1, altho not easy did not present big concerns for me. I have now progressed to level 2 and am a little worried about the  the number and variations of planks and push-ups. My biggest issue is worrying that I'd be putting too much stress and weight on my arm and the risk of lymphedema.

     Hopefully someone out there has some answers
