Hi all, I'm on day 4 of level 1. I really want to look more toned as I've lost the baby weight (DD is 7 mo) but still look flabbier than I did. So shredding and running with my super duper new running pushchair Grin It's not as bad as I feared yet but I can certainly feel it. And I hate pressups.

Can I join too please? I have about 10lb to loose, arms to firm and abs to find. Am on L1/D8 of Ripped in 30 - got up early this morning to do it, which worked pretty well. Need lots of psyching to stay with Level 2 in the next few days though, as I know it is going to be a killer - on past experience, I tend to give up about this point, so am posting on here to motivate myself! One quick question to anyone else doing Ripped in 30 - how many days for each level, as there are 4 levels?

can i join please? i have put on half a stone in the holidays and do not look good, i love love love Jillian and have shred, 6w6p, bfbm, and nmtz so will be combining all of them and some running (when the front room is not available). I dont think i will be starting till dc,s go back to school and im back at college and work that way i can begin with a good routine. Will also be altering diet cut out all crap, snaking and alcohol (and will be trying to drag dh into it as well). I will have a read through all the posts so far and try to keep up with everyone's progress good luck all!!!

I did L2D6 this morning. I like L2 better than L1, though I'm still more Anita than Natalie!

GreatSoprendo · 02/09/2013 23:45

New shredder here .

DVD arrived today and managed to contain DS in his jumping thingy long enough for me to do L1D1 this afternoon. Felt like a good workout although am taking it a little gently on the jumping jacks as pelvic floor is a little fragile, as are boobs as am BFing a 5 month old.

So I'm assuming the intention is to do L1 for 10 consecutive days then move to L2? Also assuming I will struggle to get out of bed in the morning Grin.

Sorry people, didn't RTFT! I ate first, but waited an hour and a half before Shredding. Getting up early would mean getting up and being standing in workout kit ready to begin at 5.30 on the dot, so really 5.15 by the time I'd found scattered belongings and peed to ensure no pelvic floor mishaps. I have a few days off this month, though, so will exercise early on those days.

Second the advice about extra quad stretches! I've been doing another round under the hot water in the shower and it seems to be helping a bit...either that or my body is just in shock!

Level 1 day 7 done, and I look like a 2 legged beetroot. A shower is beyond necessary!

In awe of wallpaper

RippingYarns · 02/09/2013 20:24

I wear a too small for me now bra under my sports bra - couldn't contemplate trying to do high knees without them

RippingYarns · 02/09/2013 20:21

I'm so knackered after today's workout I had to scroll to find out what day I'm on

I normally shred in the morning but we've been out all day so just done it now

Fucking crikey that was good :-D L3D4 done!

wallpaperaddict · 02/09/2013 20:12

L1D2...I'm coming to get you!

gintastic · 02/09/2013 17:50

I am in much pain. Dreading day 2 tonight!

leezl · 02/09/2013 17:48

I got rid of my old (ill-fitting) sports bra last week. Suddenly have visions of boob-induced black eyes...

DearlyDepartedMrsFinch · 02/09/2013 17:46

Definitely requires a shower afterwards. That's another reason why I get it over with first thing.

DearlyDepartedMrsFinch · 02/09/2013 17:45

Oh trucks, if only I'd listened to your sage advice. DD (5) just sat on my knee and I nearly wept. How can that be? How can my thighs hurt to touch? befuddled

TrucksAndDinosaurs · 02/09/2013 16:52

Sports bra trainers and leggings here.
Absolutely need shower after!

wallpaperaddict · 02/09/2013 16:22

iced toned goddesses by Christmas sound great to me! I've not been toned since first DC 10 years ago!
andipandi I don't wear a sports bra, as I have teeny boobs but wear regular bra, a sports vest with support in and a pair of knee length yoga/harem pants. I got so hot that I have considered doing it in my undies! Got proper running trainers though as it is high impact. I always need to shower after!

IcedCoffeeQueen · 02/09/2013 15:52

defo need sports bra! I do it In shorts and sports bra and trainers - trainers are a must I used to do it barefoot and really hurt myself
