Feb Shred Thread - come on, you know you want to join us!

Well done Elphaba Nearly done!

Extreme Shed L2 done yesterday...I am still quite sore from Killer Buns and Thighs, and now even more so. Don't think I can manage NMTZ today, will try and do either BFBM or 6W6P later.

I am gutted that all of Ri30 seems to have been removed from youtube...the only ones that are there aren't available in this country. I'm hoping to (finally) start a new job soon, so I would like shorter workouts that might be more achievable for work days. Maybe I should just invest in a cheap DVD player to play Ripepd on.

Imogen, I'm quivering at the thought of one-legged/armed plank and clapping mountain climbers! I think mountain climbers might be one of my least favourite moves, but they seem to get in everywhere.

30DS L2 D5 done.... I find this level particularly hard. Cardio on circuit 2 (oblique twists) and strength on circuit 3 (chair squats and v raises) plus those awful static squats in the first circuit. Oh well half way through it! I will get it done in time for half term when it will all go pear shaped for a week as I entertain the three DC!

I'm new to the shred and did my first day yesterday. Aching a lot today but going to do it again this afternoon. I've got about 7 stone to lose so it's the start of a very long journey for me!

30DS L3D7 DONE!

imogen I'm inclined to agree after D3 of L1 this morning. Maybe I'll go up to 6 (as I did 4 a fortnight ago).

I just need to build up my stamina and strength a wee bit more before I can move on. I would really struggle with L2 right now, need to be able to feel some tension in my tummy before I can do it!

I was on the earlier thread, but have nc.
Day 3 of Level 3 complete. My legs hurt

Hello all
Welcome to the new February joiners. It's good to have fresh blood on the thread. After a couple of days off, I tried to start L3 of 30DS today, only to find its not on you tube
I will have to buy the DVD! I've come this far so can't stop now. Instead I did D11 (eleven!) of L2.

I'm v impressed with those of you with non sleeping children and illnesses still plugging away. I will try to remember this when lack of enthusiasm strikes. to cheddar and elphaba

Just scanned through the thread...

dun 'when does it get easier' ... most people find it does after the first 3-4 days.

bumble as others have said, about 10 days per level but you can alter that if you want. You absolutely do not have to be able to do every move on a level 'properly' before moving on - I still can't do full pressups (let alone some of the deviant variations in other DVDs!)

Arggh, just found the feb thread and already 35 (unread) posts in! Ri30L2D2 done, as missed yesterday due to work crisis.

Book marking my place on the new thread. Did Killer Abs Level 1 last night, didn't think much to it, can't settle on one work out at the moment and it is starting to do my head in!

Also imogen on some days I definitely find that either/both my balance and my stamina have a day off. I exercise as soon as I wake up so I assume it's how much sleep I've had/how hydrated I am.

Morning. Looks like I'm not the only one who dropped off the last thread.

I'm back after 10 days break (on L1D2) and I decided to start from zero. This is my 4th go at 30DSL1 (and I've only ever got to level 2 once).

bumble I (attempt to) do 10 days at each level. But i think you're supposed to move on if you start breezing through. (Ha ha ha)

dun1urkin I try and do every day but probably end up doing 6 a week. I'm not really watching my diet though and don't do any other exercise.

bumble my understanding is you do 10 days at level 1, 10 days level 2 and then the 'last' 10 on level 3. Then you'll have completed the 30 DS. I plan to carry on once I've done all 30 days, although probably just two or three times a week.

L2, D5 (I think) done tonight along with my squat challenge. My legs are aching as I type!

Stupid question no doubt, but when are you supposed to switch levels in 30DS or is it totally arbitrary and up to each individual? Or is it she you no longer do any modifications? I'm only on L1D3 but don't imagine I'll be doing proper press ups for ages, am doing the modified version and even they hurt..

30DS and RI30 done. Alternating R130 workouts with yoga meltdown and have just bought 'hard body' though those are 45 mins each so weekends only I suspect. Thanks to those posting tips re lower back and abs-v helpful

Last night was not too bad, Elphaba. I was awoken at 2am by Good Baby wanting fed, 3am by ANST climbing into my bed, 4am by ANST waking me up to say she had a dirty nappy, 5am by Good Baby wanting fed again and to come into my bed too, 6.40 by DH's alarm, 6.50 by DH's alarm and 7.20 by DH kissing me goodbye, BUT both DC stayed asleep until 7.50 so it was a good night.

(Apologies to everyone else for thread-hijack)

No sleep and no water, Cheddar? That's unfortunate ANST was awake four times last night. Fortunately, he was DH's problem. Unfortunately, ANSB was my problem and he was awake far, far more than four times

Can't Shred today. We have no pigging water. I am not Shredding if I can't wash afterwards. I hate both Scottish Water and our landlord, who are playing responsibility ping-pong.

Hi I fell off the last thread as I came down with a stinking cold so stopped last Tuesday when I was on L2 D2 I restarted today on D3. Felt very wheezy tho so took some of the cardio a bit easy. Can already feel it.
Hope to do it every day now until Friday.

Was away for the weekend, so no exercise done...tried Killer Buns and Thighs level 2 today. My legs are now like jelly, I was really flagging by the end. One-legged burpees??
