April 30 day shred anyone?

thats a good idea Stunt

I did six days on level 1 then on the seventh day I found it quite easy so tried the level 2 the same day and ended up moving on early. That now means I have 13 days on level 3 so I'm planning to do ten days at level 3 then do each level in turn one time so I can see how much I have progressed since starting the shred in March.

L1D4 done :) Finding this fairly 'easy' - do you have to do 10 days on each or can I move up a level after 6 days and do extra on another level?

I think I will look at some of those other DVDs for when I have finished this one - althoug I need to get through this one first!

DarylDixonsDarlin I am not the sort who would take a pic however, having seen the results 20 days in, I am kind of wishing I had. I did take measurements tho. So do it, take the selfie...

It is 30day shred by Jillian Michaels so I have got the right thing

Excellent, thank you. Yes it is all 3 levels - each level is a new 'episode' which is why I think it comes under TV series.

Badroly

KB&T is Killer Buns and Thighs
Ri30 is Ripped in 30
NMTZ is No More Trouble Zones
BFBM is Banish Fat Boost Metabolism
6W6P is 6week 6 pack

They are all jillian michaels fitness dvds, a lot of us here have done the 30 day shred and progressed on to these.

And yes, 10 days a level :)

Daryl Its good to take photos and measurements, you'll see the difference!

badroly so 30 Day Shred is three-level fitness program. You do each 20 min level for 10 days. Is your iTunes version all three levels? Don't worry about the abbreviations - took me ages to work them out. Generally they refer to different JM (jillian michaels) fitness DVDs. Seems that most people start with 30DS and then move to Ripped in 30 (Ri30) etc.

Bit late to the party, but I'm joining anyway

Was hoping to start yesterday, but DVD was more instore at Tesco than on their website, and they wouldn't price match themselves fuckwits so hopefully it will be in tomorrow's post!

I've just had a sneak peek on youtube and I like the look of it, which is a good start I guess. Got some tiny Davina weights 1kg. Am I brave enough to take a before and after photo...

Oh and can I just check, in theory I do level 1 for 10 days, then level 2 for 10 days, then level 3 for 10 days - unless of course I die from the pain in the meantime

I don't really understand all your abbreviations . Well I get L1D1 (level 1 day 1?) but the rest?

I just searched shred on iTunes and bought the only one that came up - it is in 3 parts under 'TV series'. Are there different shreds then?

I've done some tabata this morning with all 3 kids joining in and giggling so that was nice, have a pilates class this evening so dont know if i'll be jm'ing

Ri30 L3 D6 done. I've been on these threads a while, there have been a few people dropping out following a blueline - so seems compatible with TTC.

KB&T L2 D5 done and BFBM x4 circuits

Welcome bad, it does get easier!

Thanks ditavonteased I shall do it. And welcome BadRoly lots of us are on all sorts of levels of various JM DVDs so feel free to join us. Lots of motivation and advice for when you need it.

Can I sneak in please?

I'm a complete newbie to shred and have just done my first ever shred. It hurts

So I know I'm out by a few days but please can I join you and see if I can stick to it longer than I do most things

I di the jumping lunges as step lunges for the first few days, so follow the same movement but dont jump, I am always a bit scared of the jjump moves as I am not very coordinated and I think you only have to land wrong once.

L3 D1 30DS done. My knees don't like jumping lunges. Need an alternative - any ideas?

ri30 day 3 done. I am really loving this one, doesnt half get a sweat going. Am at the dentist later so I thought I had better do it early or I might not feel llike it.

NMTZ done, there is another thread in the exercise topic for fans of JM and one of the posters on that is TTC if that helps

L1D8 done...level 2 getting scarily close now. Eek.

Not sure about TTC, I've stopped shredding previously on finding out I was pregnant and done swimming instead-but I am really cautious and I am sure all would have been fine (and I wouldn't have put on so much weight!) had I carried on.

I have a few friends who have done insanity but it is a bit too hardcore for me. I find Jillian's DVDs enough of a challenge. The results are meant to be amazing if you stick with it.

well done highlandbird-I am so impressed. I have to wait until my 2 are sleeping to even attempt it! If you keep it up baby's first words could be interesting :)

L1D4 finally done had to stop half way through it yesterday as baby was too clingy and whiney so I don't think that counted? Almost half way through level 1 now, tried with just the music today but I think I missed Jillian I quite like her talking at me telling me to keep going!

the helpers ladies in ripped are seriously scary, have you seen the thighs on the blond one, I wouldnt mess with her thats for sure.

Lol Ditavonteesed! You've got the bug for sure! Thanks for advice.

Justn done Ri30 level1 day 1 - I love it! No where near as hard as I thought it would be, and you get the panto style cross Jillian too - made me a bit giggly when she started telling me off!

I dont really know about the ttcing, I wouldthink you are ok until you are actually pregnant but I dont know for sure.

I had a slightly scaey conversation earlier (well scared me in that I never expected it) my mum asked me what I would like for my birthday and I said maybe I would like insanity dont know where that came from.
