Is there a 30 day shred thread for March yet? If not, this can be it!

Errol, you totally destroyed my attempt at playing the age card!

Pah, I guess I'll have to have another go at those mountain climbers then. Actually, can I have another go at playing the 'I'm doing this barefoot' card? Haven't wanted to fork out for trainers but have to admit that any moving around in plank is tricky when barefoot as I do tend to slip around a bit.

There, I think I managed to justify that excuse!

Katie I'm on level 2 and still can't do press ups however there aren't any on level 2, just this pita walking press up thing so it shouldn't stop you moving up. I found I didn't work up much of a sweat on level 1 so level 2 is much better for me apart from the wretched squat thrusts.

Question for shredders! On level 1, could you do the full press up before you moved to level 2?

I'm doing day 4 today, did most of the advanced moves yesterday and tried the press ups but managed 6 before switching to doing the easier on the knees move.

I'm going to try again today!

I'm late coming to this thread but may I join in please?! Have just joined MFP and starting the shred today for the 10th time. Need to stick at it this time!

Ri30 D20 L4 done

Crazy - how does metafit compare? Harder generally?

L3D1 done. It's tough but feel quite proud I've managed it and how much stronger I am.

Diet wise - for 6 months I have ditched gluten and processed foods/too much sugar. I started this way of eating for health reasons and it's made a huge difference to how I feel. And by accident the last of my baby weight has disappeared.

L2D2 done!
I find the twist jump things hard though.

No shredding for me today as I went to a Metafit class. I'm definitely finding Metafit easier and I think it's all down to me getting fitter and stronger because of the 30DS, it's great motivation! even if I haven't lost weight or inches yet

Oohdaddypig that's awesome weightloss what's your secret?, have you altered your diet at all?

Finally found my Ri30 and L1 D1 done.
Really enjoyed the change and strangely found the combination of moves more manageable than a lot of the 30DS circuits.
Certainly more sweaty and jelly legged afterwards, in a good way.
Anticipating some new achey bits tomorrow!
May have a look at her diet plan too (although if I just stuck to SW which I know inside out I'm sure the lbs would melt away).
Is anyone following her diet plan?

Thanks Tired and Lindt

Sounds like you're doing well Lindt and it'd always a motivator when you can see a difference! Only 2 levels though!! Think I'd have to mix it up with another one or I'd get bored!

Nightwish Thanks, it's also the bit I most want to tone up so I think I'll do it next!!

Errol.....I've been doing 6 days of each level which will only take me to 24 days, then I thought I would do a different level each day to take me to 30!! How are you finding it?

Ri30 L1D6 done.
3 days off due to being useless.
Really need to get my motivation back!
Think I may try doing it first thing in the morning before DS2 wakes up to get it out of the way but not sure how it will work. Can only try I suppose.

Errol I am aiming to do 7/8 days dependent on how well I am doing the level.

Spinning I like KB&T, but that is probably because it is the areas I need to focus on! It is a different format, 4 circuits each repeated once. Some days I enjoy it, some I hate it because it is a bit longer.

No excuse at all - I can do those and I'm 53. Though I've not shredded today - we went for a walk in the sun and then I had other stuff I needed to do so I think I've missed the chance for today. Tomorrow if this weather holds we're planning on getting the bikes out, for the first time in ages.... hopefully I can pick up again Wednesday.

Spinning (and anyone else doing Ri30) - how many days per level are you doing? Last time I did it I did 10 days (2x5 weekdays) per level which is obviously more than 30!

spinninggirl10 as 2tiredtocare says there are only 2 levels on 6w6p. Yes, I can see results although I don't think I'm ever going to look like Jillian! No more muffin top for me which is great. Feeling much more confident about my body.

I struggle with most of the cardio bits on the floor. I still can't do mountain climbers etc. and so just hold plank. Can't do the side plank movements and am struggling even to hold side planks. Bit irritating but then I am 42; I'm sure Jillian would say that was no excuse.

6wk6p has 2 levels, 3 weeks at each level

Lindt....are there 3 or 4 levels on 6w6p? It's quite along time for 3 levels isn't it but I guess it takes that long to see results! Can you see any changes yet?

I'm enjoying Ri30, I'm on D18 and already thinking about what to do when I finish Think I'll do Killer Buns and Thighs.....I think there's a couple of ladies doing it now, how are you finding it?

6W6P L1D10 done. Feeling stronger but still can't do the side plank stuff which is really irritating me. I can just about hold plank on my right side but not at all on my left.

Can't believe I've done 10 of these now. I started 6W6P on 26th Feb so will keep doing level 1 for another week (which will mean I've done 3 weeks of level 1) and then move onto level 2.

Sort of enjoying it but also pretty bored!

30ds l1d3 done. Also walked about 4 miles carrying 2 stone of ds in a sling.

Going to a group this afternoon so will be having a biscuit whilst i'm there.

30DS L3 D3 done, no 6w6p today as have pilates class tonight

Ri30 D19 L4 done

I prefer L4 to L3, seems easier on the knees!

Oohdaddy....well done on weight loss!

Well just over 2 weeks into shred and I have lost 5 pounds. I didn't set out to lose weight so this has been a surprise. I don't want to lose any more! But it does show how effective shred is - I was only doing it 5 days a week. But weirdly I haven't lost any inches off my waist which was why I took it up to begin with.

I am much MUCH stronger though. My stomach has lost its hang out look it did after two babies. I look leaner and stronger. Overall I'm impressed!!

Have done the JM yoga the last two nights for a break. I do yoga anyway so found it not too hard but really enjoyed it. I get bored easily.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

6W6P L1D9 done after 2 days off. Too tired to say any more!

30DS L3 D2 done

No Shred today and still haven't found my Ri30 DVD but dug over th'allotment and swam a km so haven't been completely sedentary. Concerted effort to locate Ri30 will commence shortly.
