Have just started 30-Day Shred...can you tell me what it did for you?

How long did you stay on each level, how quickly did you see results? Did you diet at the same time?
Need motivation and inspiration to keep going, as I really, really ache right now...

Have now done 9 days of level 1 Shred, and am getting v scared about Level 2; how bad is it....?

Buggeration! I've just done day 1 of shred and I now can't walk down the stairs! Jelly legs or what? Will I survive the night? What have you all done to me

JelliBelli · 24/05/2011 18:41

Hi All, I thought i'd just drop in to see how you are doing.

Great stuff I see (apart from the groin/arm/electricity issues). Stick with it though Trinity. You really are doing the hardest bit right now - converting into exercisers! It WILL all be worth it - honest! Did you do it yesterday and today? The aching will go.

GeekLove have you actually started though?!!

VenetiaL great stuff although you say you were hoping it would get easier - have you 'noticed the improvement in your endurance' yet ? I bet you have!

As I mentioned upthread I am doing the Couch to 5K programme (I'm not very good yet) and I actually ran a mile on Sunday - a whole mile, not very fast but without stopping! Little ol' unfit Jellibelli (and it all started with the shred). As far as I can remember it is my very first continuous mile that I have run in my life.

Keep at it everyone, it all starts with those hard first days of the shred.

TrinityIsAShreddingFatRhino · 23/05/2011 15:58

lol venetia

fell off the shred wagon yesterday as dp could barely walk with his groinal/bum area type injury and I couldn't straighten my left arm

we are certainly a right pair of unfit twits

Loving the power failue issue, Trinity; how did you manage to arrange that?

Day 7 for me and no more aches and pains - 'tis a miracle...

Was hoping that it might start to get easier to do the bloomin' thing as well, but no sign of that yet...

GeekLove · 22/05/2011 23:12

Jellibelli I have bought the DVD and it is ALL your fault!

TrinityIsAShreddingFatRhino · 22/05/2011 11:41

we did day three but missed the last 5 mins as we had a power failure grrr

day four today countdown to shred in about 2 hours

TrinityIsAShreddingFatRhino · 21/05/2011 10:02

Well done Trinity, but here follows a dire warning: I am on day 4, and whilst day 2 was bad due to the aches and pains, day 3 was beyond imagining....but, take heart, day 4 was a bit better....

OP posts:

TrinityIsAShreddingFatRhino · 20/05/2011 13:29

we did it again
was almost harder this time what with aching already

feels good that we've done 2 days

MABS · 20/05/2011 11:13

thanks guys, will order it

JelliBelli · 20/05/2011 09:53

Well done Rhino and Rhino's DP !! You are probably aching but the pain is a good thing - honest. It'll go in another couple of days.

Don't forget to take your meassurements.

Congratulations Chinnity! Vomitting clearly shows dedication above and beyond. Are you trying again today?

MABS · 19/05/2011 12:49

VenetiaLanyon · 19/05/2011 11:47

Thanks JelliBelli, just what I needed to hear ; (and thanks to SEA for what is probably going to be the grim reality - knees are already pretty buggered on day 3)

Will check out other thread, but it looked like everyone on it was a bit more advanced than me...

dp says hes going to do it with me
we're starting tomorrow

JelliBelli · 18/05/2011 20:01

Threelittleducks if you do it first thing (like I try to do) you probably don't have much time to procrastinate, so you have to just get on with it.

I think it is much harder at the end of the day. Try it in the morning. Come over to the thread for more support from fellow Shredders. If I run at the end of the day I set up a negative outlook before I even start. I am working on not doing this .

Just remember - you'd find 20 mins to help the DCs so you can find 20 mins for you.

If it helps, focus on how much better their lives will be as they get older, with you being a fitter, more active, happier role model.

southeastastra · 18/05/2011 19:34

hurt my knees alot not much else

Threelittleducks · 18/05/2011 19:33

Right! That's it! I am starting Shred tomorrow!

I keep doing it one day, or two, then giving up [crap emoticon]

Jelli I am going to channel you! Maybe if I do it first thing I will stick to it. My problem is that I've been doing (or thinking about trying to) at night when I'm knackered after chasing dcs around all day

JelliBelli · 18/05/2011 19:18

Rhino I think many of us felt like throwing up that first day .

But each journey starts with that first step. If I can take it - you can. You are worth spending time and effort on.

So find yourself the time (a measley 20 minutes!!) and give it another go. Keep a bucket nearby in case you DO throw up, pause the DVD and continue when you are ready. You will survive it. You'll probably ache a lot for 3-4 days. Then you'll start to feel better and you'll be able to see the improvement YOU have made to your performance. Shred is FAB!

Don't eat before you shred though - or else you really will be sick. Leave a few (2-3) hours after you've eaten before you do it.

Just to clarify I have lost nearly 4 inches from each of my bust, waist and hips, not a total of 4 inces. You could do that too. Go on you know you want to...
