30 Day Shred- Get a Shredload for August!

I did it yesterday Grimma, just didn't feel like it! My takeaway was awful as well so ended up avoiding the big binge!

Worried about taking my measurements in 7 days and this motivated me to do more this morning, I did all three levels one after the other! I've now shredded every day for 23 days. My family reunion is now only 6 weeks away so I need to push on, think after this I will set another 30 day challenge with measurements as the fear of the outcome of that really spurs me on when I don't feel like exercising!

Standing I was thinking of taking my weights me with me on holiday as well, did you take your mat as well? I'm thinking I need to get some quick to dry exercise stuff to take with me as well as I'll ideally need just one outfit that I can wash after each use. Any of you regular exercisers have any suggestions?

Reboot L1D3 done.

Lifesgreat, I reckon a day off can be a good idea - I usually don't have time anyway Saturday and most sundays and the first time through that worked fine.

I skipped shred last night as was dashing around packing! We are off to France, so not sure how that will impact my shred routine. I have packed my handweights just in case....but Jillian has already done wonders as I have also packed my BIKINI!!!!

If Wi Fi is good it may be business as usual, if not I will be back in September and until then HAPPY SHREDDING FOLKS!!!!

I've now done day 4 L1 with a note to self to do it earlier in the day from now on.

Just done L1D9. I think my body appreciated a 36 hour break between workouts & I was able to do the 2min cardio session continuously each time (so no break whilst she was chatting).
I also watch L2 earlier. I have no idea how I'm going to do it. Most of the moves seem to be based around the plank position & I can't plank! I'm now very nervous about Saturday!

Argh I still have day 4 to do! Will be back when it's done :-/

Oh, an no Monster, I haven't noticed any changes in my cycle. You've missed a whole cycle?

I'm really tired this evening. I've shredded every day for 22 days straight, today I hit day 2 of level 3. I'm going to get a takeaway and eat it all and then go to bed!

Reboot L1D2 done.

No shred today (yesterday) as went to gum instead.! Having a night off :)

monster54 no such non-events here...but not that time of month yet...

Everyday ish ha ha!!!

Hey ladies,

I was wondering if anyone else has missed a period as a result of starting shred? Can exercise cause this going from nothing to everyday?!!

for fear that it's not doing anything except strengthening my body.
Isn't that awesome enough?

Oh, the other good thing on holiday was a fortnight in shorts - usually wet - with no thigh rub rash! Result!

Level three is like a gift after level 2 Standing! You will be there in no time!

I'm losing my mojo a bit - but I have been doing this every day since August 1st so I guess that's no surprise. There's a part of me that wants to stop or take a day off but there's another part of me that feels proud about pushing forward, getting my body back. I don't know what I'm going to do after day 30. And I've been putting off measuring/weighing for fear that it's not doing anything except strengthening my body.

Anyone have any comic bugbears about the dvd? Mine is that she says in level one that she always does hip circles because they prevent her from getting injuries... and then she never does them in the other two levels! I've carried on throwing a few in!

L1D3 done complete with red wine head!

I really didn't feel like it but - reboot L1D1 done.

Pushups (anita style) a bit better - I was using my arms a lot on holiday so that's good.

I'm not going near the scales till Friday.

DH came into the room just as I was doing the final stretches and started laughing but fortunately for him it wasn't at me - my dachshund was apparently doing his stretches at the same time.

It sounds as though everyone is doing fantastically well. I'm finding your posts really motivating.
L1D8 done - and done at 5.45 this morning! I was half asleep (and was worried I may actually fall asleep during the mat work!)and did Anita level rather than Natalie level but built up a sweat anyway.

not forgetting 8bumpotaro murtett8 and jo* all strorming through level 1 !

life well done pn starting level 3, look forward to hearing how it goes!

L2D3 done. Another late night shred, but another day towards being "shredded".

Welcome back grimma and welcome deeply to the gang, deciding to start is the tough part so it gets easier from now! This thread and the lovely folk on it have kept me motivated and hopefully will do the same for you :)

Inspired by you all, I've bought the DVD and hope to start on Saturday - first day of week off work so thought it would cut down my excuse options...
But feeling a bit scared to say the least - am pretty uncoordinated so have told Dh he has to go out so I can embarrass myself in private!

Hello all, I'm back! Haven't read all thread since I went on hols but nice to see there's lots of people hanging in there and more joined.

Brilliant holiday, being that bit fitter esp in arms and abs really was worth the effort. Windsurfing (a step up from beginner level so nothing fancy but sometimes going more or less where I meant to) and sailing in more wind than I'd have been happy to go out in before and only one capsize the whole fortnight . We didn't get back till 3am this morning so I've had today day off - planning to start again tomorrow, I think I'll go back to L1D1 and start afresh.

Level 2 completed, and since I only did half a shred yesterday I followed level 2 day 10 with level 3 day 1 (although technically I suppose it doesn't count as day 1!). Feeling virtuous, if very sweaty. Level 3 is easier, more enjoyable than level 2!

L1D2 done! Yay me.

I notice there's a powerhouse yoga workout too, anyone tried that?
