April 30 day shred anyone?

do you think it matters if the 30 day programs take 60? I have had to take a few days off with work and I have been poorly. I seem to be ok to do it after night shift but not after a day shift, there just isnt time, I get in at 8 and try to be in bed for 9.30. Anyway hoping to get back on it today, I definatly have less energy when I dont do it. Been looking at hip hop abs but I dont know if the music would drive me up the wall. Anyone tried it?

Done it L1D5.

I feel better for doing it - yikes!

No shred today for me . We are at miles for a few days and I had a lazy lie in but did go for a long walk with mil and the dc so will treat today as a rest day and aim to be up and at 'em tomorrow...

NMTZ done plus 5 out of 7 circuits of BFBM

Well done everyone

Great to see so many people sticking with it, and the suns shining here today so I've got my nice toned arms out!

Chuck, hope you're feeling better soon

No shred for me this morning, my ankles are a bit twingy from Wednesday's run, & I got into work very early! Planning gym & run tomorrow, & run Sunday so probably won't get to L1D5 until next week!

Thanks Yadah you're quite right.

All so true Yadahyadah that all rings a bell with me!

Chuck feel better soon. Probably best to have a rest. Have been invaded by inlaws until Monday - arggh! Really worried I'll find it hard to start up again. But like Lake I think this might be a little much for FIL!

KB&T L2D3.
Two days off as I did something to my thighs when I was walking with DS in the carrier on Tues, no idea what but they ached so much I was in agony when I stood up or did anything so settled for a walk.
Still hurting today so didn't push myself too hard but I couldn't face three days off.

30DS D5L3 done. Stick with it StuntNun and try to ignore the internal saboteur who only focuses on what you cannot do yet rather than ALL you have achieved so far with JM and co. I think fitness, exercise goes hand in hand with a kind of mental game face. I have wasted so much time since having kids not feeling like myself in my body for fear of being disappointed with the results. And even this morning after my JM session, I was looking at my transformed bagel belly - which is looking more belly and less bagel than it has for a long old time - and I was thinking 'I dunno, I don't think ANYTHING is going to really get rid of that horrible bit...' And had to force myself to focus on how nice it is to feel my arms feeling strong (don't talk to me about anterior raises tho), my bum feeling standy uppy again (don't ask about jumping lunges) . So don't stop, it's just the nit picky saboteur in you trying to fk up all you have achieved. Good luck.

Ri30 L3D9 done - on to L4 next week. Stunt, JM actually says you should be cursing her name in this one so should suit you

Chuck - yes, I'd be inclined to lay off it. Personally I'd carry on with a run-of-the-mill cold but if iller than that rest and get better. Whether you want to start over or do a few days extra depends how long you're off and how you feel. I've had a week off for holidays before now and carried on, you don't lose your fitness that quickly. Get better soon.

I started Level 2 of the shred today and it is soooo much harder than level 1. The cardio of circuit 2 is brutal. I think it will take a good few tries for me to be able to keep up with the girls on screen.

Just done Level 1 of six week six pack - what on earth are the other levels like? Each move on its own is OK but put them all together... aaarrgh!

KB&T L3 D1 done!!

One legged mountain climbers....wtf!!! Off to the gym now for some cardio.

Haha stunt, sweating and swearing seen to go hand in hand with JM

L1D10 done tonight. Will have a rest day tomorrow then NMTZ again Saturday and move on to level 2 of shred on Sunday.

I have been doing the full NMTZ (with modifications for moves I find too hard) because I need to build up core strength again and want to feel stronger (I broke my arm in November and got lazy, put on weight and haven't done any fitness since). However I know some people do 'quick trouble zones' which is either circuits 1-5 or all circuits except the mat work.

StuntNun-maybe you are just so fit now you can do level 3 without working up a sweat! I don't think I'll ever get to that point!

Nobody else and I mean nobody but JM could persuade me to do mountain climbers. I think she deserves a bit of swearing at after that.

You don't have to swear, you know!

*Sweat much!

I didn't swear much either which is also bad as usually I mutter bad things under my breath about JM.

30DS L3D4 done but it didn't seem like a great workout tonight. I didn't swear much so I wasn't working hard enough and I'm a bit dispirited at my crapness at sit-ups and press ups.

KB&T L2 D8 and NMTZ circuits 1-5 done!!

So long one legged burpees.....onto L3 tomorrow

L1D6 on Tues and D7 today. I think I'll try to do tomorrow and Sat and then go to level 2 on Monday.

Well done Roly!

Ri30 L3D8 done. Will do again tomorrow then on to L4 tomorrow.

Morning

L1D4 (I think) done. Nearly didn't due to other things going on today but glad I did!
