I need to have someone to do this with, I tried it once and got to day 3 but then gave up. Please join me if you want to attempt this with me.

L1D5 completed.

My shred DVD arrived yesterday so I think I'll move onto L2 tomorrow. Might watch it first tonight to see what I'm letting myself in for!

Anyone else starting L2 this weekend? How did you find L2 Georgina?

ErrolTheDragon · 07/03/2014 17:12

Mamma - if I'd stuck with L1 till I could do it all perfectly I'd still be doing it I think! the combination in the first cardio set is horrible, I decided to swap it around and did (IIRC) JJs and butt kicks, then in the second jump rope with the boxing. Glad to hear the aches have stopped - right on schedule after the usual killing first few days. Smile

Barely started this as Dh is away so evenings are spent clearing up etc. Did L1D1 last night, going to do it again tonight.

I've also started using mfp to track all the sneaky calories that keep appearing. Fingers crossed this is all going to help. Would normally gym tomorrow am but need to be around to show dh how dd is doing with potty training so suspect i'll be doing day 3 tomorrow!

Slightly concerned my knee twinged in the warm up last night. Hoping it was a one off.

Ri30 D16 L3 doneGrin and also a 5 mile walk in the sunshine!

Well done 2tiredtocare!! Definitely deserve the gin Grin

2tiredtocare · 07/03/2014 16:02

6w6p L1 D9 and 30DS L2 D10 done, I deserve my gins tonight!

StuntNun · 07/03/2014 15:23

GandT there's an option on the DVD to turn off Jillian's commentary.

MammaGnomes · 07/03/2014 10:49

GandT I turn the sound right down.

MammaGnomes · 07/03/2014 10:47

L1D5 done this morning. No more aches yey!!!

I really struggle with the first set of cardio it kills me. everything else I find managable
don't want to move up a level until I fan do it all no problem.
certainly feeling fitter today. feel like I can take on the world.
wish I had done this sooner

GandTnow · 07/03/2014 09:45

level 1 day 7, feeling ok today but still working up a bit of a sweat. Getting a bit sick of JM saying the same thing!! Time to move onto level 2 soon though I suppose.

Morning. Was lurking on here yesterday and tried level 1 with DD (which completely freaked out the dog).
This morning my tummy stays in by itself! I can still grab a handful of flobber but it's tucked in, flat and tidy flobber, how is that even possible?
DD hasn't surfaced yet but I'll interrogate her later.

spinningirl10 · 07/03/2014 08:08

Morning all!

Wenchelda....I do my workout as soon as I get out of bed and some days I find it tougher than others! I think it depends how much you ate the night before and how much sleep you had. Keep going....tomorrow you could find it easier :)

I haven't done mine yet today....will do it later and check in! I hate doing it later in the day so if you don't see me check in that I've done it come and find me!!

oohdaddypig · 06/03/2014 22:16

Level 2, day 6 done. Really tired tonight so a struggle!

Was also thinking about lunges/knee issues. If you are in a confined space you are also in danger of not stepping far enough which adds pressure to the knee (definitely the case in my small roomed house)

My arms are getting weaker - I swear it!

ErrolTheDragon · 06/03/2014 21:55

Oh, I'm OK - just that I know it makes sense to rest a few days. I've posted often enough telling people to go easy on sore joints, same applies to backs... its only muscles that should ache! Hopefully will re-start on Monday, probably Ri30L2.

GeorginaWorsley · 06/03/2014 21:51

Am going to move on to L 2 tomorrow.
Hope it's not too hard!

GandTnow · 06/03/2014 19:31

Hope you're feeling better soon Errol

Wenchelda · 06/03/2014 17:04

Level 1 day 4 done. Found it really hard today - like I was on half speed or something. Surely it should be getting easier/I should have more energy?

2tiredtocare · 06/03/2014 16:33

6W6P L1 D8 begrudgingly done Grin

Lindt70Percent · 06/03/2014 14:17

6W6P L1D8 done.

oohdaddypig · 06/03/2014 13:45

What happened errol? Did you put your back out?

My house is even more filthy from a reclining sit up position but it still doesn't motivate me to actually clean it. :)
Busy day with kids so no JM till tonight.

Lindt70Percent · 06/03/2014 13:07

Hope your back's better soon Errol!

I'm just about to go and do another session of 6W6P but thought I'd come here for inspiration first. This thread really does keep me going.

Going to have to hoover the room first as you really notice all the bits and hairs on the carpet when you're lying face down on it trying to be superman.

Back later!

ErrolTheDragon · 06/03/2014 12:39

I'm really missing it... especially annoying is that sitting (which I have to do while working) seems to hurt a bit anyway. Probably need to sit up straighter. Bah.

MammaGnomes · 06/03/2014 12:10

its good to see people that have been doing it for a while. makes me determined to stick at it Smile

completed L1D4 this morning. Felt better today and more manageable but I sweated more so I think I subconsciously upped my game. aches are starting to fade too. stupidly weighed myself this morning and ive only lost 1lb. I'm doung really well food wise too. normal weigh day is sunday though so will see what they say then

Nightwish · 06/03/2014 09:48

A bit late to join in but I am here!
I was on the last three shred threads.
Am now alternating Killer Buns and Thighs and Ripped in 30.
Unfortunately I have just had 5 days off due to visiting family, having uni assignments due and being at uni but back on it today.

KB&T L1 D6 done. Not overly well, typically after having so many days off on the day I can do it I get a cold and feel grotty.

Hello to everyone new, there seems to be a lot you.
And to everyone old who are still at it!
Will try to catch up on the rest of the thread later!

GandTnow · 06/03/2014 08:59

Morning all, loving this thread and all you ace people that know what you're doing. The advice is brilliant. Day 6 level 1 done this morning. Certainly easier that day 1 but still feels like a work out and a half!

OP posts:
Crazyhours · 06/03/2014 08:58

Didn't shred yesterday, no excuse, was tired (but that's nothing new) and a bit fedup. Ho hum.

Made up for it this morning though - L1D4 done at the crack of dawn. I feel like I'm ready for level 2 now!
