I need a Shred buddy

481 replies

Brahbrah · 20/03/2011 13:49

I had a Shred buddy but she knackered her knees. It turns out I have no self-motivation at all as I haven't done it once since she stopped.

Anyone looking at a neglected copy of the 30 Day Shred and want to buddy up? We had managed to get to day 10 and had just moved up to level 2 when we stopped, but I'm happy to start again at day 1.

Not much required, just a daily check in to say, 'yep, done it for today, how about you?'

Whaddya say?

Hello all, I've had cold after sodding cold and been feeling very sorry for myself, so shred hasn't had much of a look in recently. I will be getting back on with it when I can jump around without collapsing in an unattractive wheezing heap.

Do you want me to go and get the key to the box of secrets and bad things that is "never to be opened"??? Do ya? Course I'M your bessie mate. I know things.... ok ok, so do you.... so it shall always be so.!!! LOL

MaureenMLove · 21/04/2011 21:25

Oh and possibly assumptious to assume you are the bessie mate?

MaureenMLove · 21/04/2011 21:25
Shock

Cocktails are off the me 'n' u! Grin

Kbear · 21/04/2011 21:01

I have a pain in the neck (apart from Maureenmlove) so I am unable to shred with you girls... sadly...

cocktails ? YUMMO

MaureenMLove · 21/04/2011 20:47

I've done it once this week, but I think I need the routine of being at work, to get my head around it!

On the upside, because I do not have direct access to a vending machine and damn good school food most of the day, I appear to have lost some inches! Grin My benchmark work trousers definately fit better than they did before the school holidays!

So, I guess I'll be back on Tuesday, when I'm back at work. I'd do Monday, but the bessie mate is coming for high tea and cocktails, so no point! Grin

How are you all doing? My shredding is def on hold for a bit. GP thinks I've torn some muscle tissue so no intense workouts for me for a bit! reaches for mini eggs

Kbear · 18/04/2011 20:43

I will but I can't until I've finished this Twix the ironing

Tuttifrutti- i know what you mean about your 'glutes' my bum is starting to feel like I am permanently clenching it. Its fab! I have always had such a squishy behind that the change is quite alarmingShock

maureen and keepcalm- get well soon, its so annoying when you can't exrecise. I had an ankle injury a few weeks back which meant no running for 2 weeks and i hated it!

PatTheHammer · 16/04/2011 20:18

Ok, so I tried level 2 this evening and I can see what the hype is about, I am a sweaty mess!!!!

Think I am going to try swapping between 1&2 for variety until I can master the squat thrusts and plank Jack thingys.

Thank goodness I found the option today where you can just have music and not Jillian's voice too, the idea of having to listen to the same old drivel for 30 days was starting to worry meGrin.

Oh, and Ha-ha at me being super-fit. I know it sounds a lot but you should see me after classes, I am absolutely DESTROYED. There are some proper super-fit people at my gym and I do aspire to be like that one day, its a long way off though. I guess I am about a hundred times fitter than I was in January though so heigh-ho!

Super-sal- It's really hard to make time, I don't have much time as I have two small DC's and I teach 3.5 days a week but i usually double up 45min exrecise classes and I time it so i go as DH is doing bedtime routine about 6.30/6.45 (he doesn't see them in the morning so he loves spending that time with them) and if its only one class then I am back within an hour. I also do a class quite early on a sat and sunday so its over by 10am and doesn't interfere with the weekend. mind you some weeks i only manage 4 classes and some weeks it is more, just depends what I have got on socially, how much work/parents evening etc I have to do. Running only takes me about 20-25mins so I usually pop out after kids in bed, the light evenings are fab for this.......not so motivated when it was freezing and raining in feb!

Kbear · 16/04/2011 18:19

My dvd is still wrapped... it was delivered two weeks ago.... >

KeepCalmAndCarryOnMNing · 15/04/2011 21:19

Just checking in - I shall be re-starting next week. Had a bit of a chesty cold all week so not really been up to it. mind you, DH is away half the week and I'll have work/revising so who knows if/when I'll fit it in!!!

Patthehammer - you sound fit to me. If level one isn't a challenge I'd go straight to level 2.

I'll be back on Monday peeps. My toe has had a rest this week, and although I'm still struggling to put anything other than flip flops on (couldn't even try on and buy shoes today and that hurt more than just my toe!!Grin) I think I'll be OK.
