Sorry, yesterday was a disaster of a day and I failed to create a new thread! It's now here.

Am I still on the right thread (couldn't see a July one)? Just done 30DS L3D3 and now off to have a shower

Body Rev phase 3 cardio done. LAST TIME!! I compromised with the weather and my slightly dodgy knees and did all the moves except the jumping lunges, rock star jumps and cannonball jumps - I used those bits to drink water as if it's going out of fashion. It's so humid here.

Well done, sycamore! The end is nigh. I'm also very close to the end of Body Rev - two more workouts and I'm done.

Unexpected rest day yesterday (I'd forgotten it was DD's school play). Back to it today - 30DS L3D2. Feeling rather warm!

MsRaspberryJam · 30/06/2015 19:20

Grin Don't mention his Canadian accent though! I hear he can get pretty fruity when he's cross.

I did workout two of Yoga Inferno this afternoon. I was a bit concerned about the heat, but it wasn't so bad. I suppose it doesn't have so much cardio. I might have died of star jumps.

Ok girls, I did level 3 day 9 yesterday. I had something else to do at the usual wotkout time during Baby Boy's first nap today so please all cross your fingers that he sleeps well for his second nap in a little while and I can melt my way through the final day of the final level of 30 day shred! Would love to finish it all in June (and begin again in July...).

UnalignedAnt · 30/06/2015 12:13

L2D5. Would be D6 but opted for spin again yesterday. If I'd avoided spin altogether I'd be on D19 now. Derp.

I've had lots of rest days when I couldn't blame the heat, Imogen Blush. Ah well, the guilt spurs me on!

'Wholesome jam lover' Grin. Oh how I love a reference to my favourite entrepreneurial Canadian...

Body Rev week 12 workout 12. Not bad, apart from the wheel push-ups - I can't even get into a wheel position, never mind do push-ups in it.

Is everyone having a break while it's this hot? Even first thing in the morning it's pretty hot.

Body Rev phase 3 week 12 workout 11 done. Thought it was going to be a catastrophe but it got better as I went on. I'm counting down now - four more days and I've finished Body Rev!

I did level two of Hard Body this morning. Having Mcdonald's with a glass of wine (classy) this evening. Whoops.

Saymwa · 28/06/2015 14:35

So, done L1 day 6 .
Earlier this week I didn't want to do my exercising whilst my DH was around. Today he tried doing L1 with me and gave up !

Now, he's asked me to try again tomorrow! So the plan is to get up early and do L1 together tomorrow morning Smile.
I'm really pleased about it. Having said that I think I'll do another week of L1 now ! Grin

All the best to fellow JM'ers.

OublietteBravo · 28/06/2015 10:19

30DS L3D1. To paraphrase Jillian: I feel like I'm going to die! I remembered rockstar jumps as being horrible from my last excursion into 30DS. I'd forgotten about plié jumps, travelling push-ups and jumping lunges though probably deliberate

MadameJulienBaptiste · 27/06/2015 22:16

Day 8 of 30dsL1 didn't really challenge me so I did L2D1 yesterday.

Much sweater! Might as well call it 'variations on a plank' though. Could manage everything but the full set of plank jacks and my thighs only a teeny bit tired today.
Had a full day out today till 9pm so will do D2 tomorrow.

MsRaspberryJam · 27/06/2015 19:21

You are not off the mark at all, Unaligned! I'm impressed that you knew it. Most people think of me as a wholesome jam lover.

UnalignedAnt · 27/06/2015 13:40

Naughty this week - went to Spin class twice to avoid Shred! Hope to get L2D5 done later despite mild hangover.

Thanks for inspirational words, MsRaspberryJam - you're right, I do feel stronger and better than pre-Shred. I shall prevail! (random addendum - your username reminds me of a certain video game character, but I'm probably way off the mark there.)

MsRaspberryJam · 26/06/2015 20:18

I did level two of Shed and Shred this evening. It goes on a bit too much for my liking. It's five or six really challenging circuits. I wasn't too happy by the last two. But I survived!

OublietteBravo · 26/06/2015 18:40

Just finished 30DS L2D10. It is sooooo humid. I'm dripping with sweat!

Rest day tomorrow, and then on to level 3.

Body Rev phase 3 week 11 workout 12. One more week to go, hurrah! I've decided to buy Killer Body next, but I probably won't start it till after I get back from holidays in July: I'll just do her yoga DVDs for a couple of weeks.

It's really muggy here, even before 7 a.m. Kudos to people who are getting it done at hotter times of day!

sycamore, I've seen that Bannish Fat Boost Metabolism is on Youtube as I thought I might try that myself.

Shredding a bit half arsed for me today. It was just so hot at the time of day I had to myself to do it. I had to really make myself do it and nearly stopped in the middle. But anyway, did it :)

OublietteBravo · 25/06/2015 20:02

30DS L2D9. My 5th day in a row. Smile Only one more day before moving up a level...

drspouse · 25/06/2015 11:51

Right - this week's exercise -
Pilates Monday - check
Shred L3 Tues a.m. (one more week of this and I'm going to try Body Rev) - check
Yoga Meltdown Weds eve - check
Swimming Thurs a.m. - check

I have not managed to do exercise on Fri/Sat/Sun for ages plus I have an even more busy weekend than normal so I'm hanging up my hat till Mon again!

sycamore54321 · 25/06/2015 11:37

Level 3 day 6 done, an end almost in sight! When I'm done I think I'll go back to level 1 with heavier weights. Supposed to be decluttering so I don't want to buy another dvd! Or are there any Jillian videos free online?

blodynmawr · 25/06/2015 07:32

Another muggy day here so only managed 1 x 20 min (workout 2) of KickboxFF. Weather forecast is more of the same over the next week Sad so hope I can stay motivated!

Body Rev phase 3 week 11 workout 11 done. Not my finest hour. There are some "three part push-ups" that I just can't do and have to substitute normal push-ups, and my knees gave out during the "bear walk". In fact this one is very hard on the knees generally.

Slimmer, I have two consecutive rest days - I have weekends off. I get up early to do Jillian during the week, and at the weekend I want to stay in bed as long as DS will let me!

Level 3 day five-and-a-half done - the baby woke early from his nap halfway through (jumping jacks with weights) so I had to call a halt to it. Then in the afternoon when he took his second nap, I finished it off. So I don't quite know how to count it. It was interesting to see how much sttonger my plank-rows were when I hadn't done all the rest of the workout immediately beforehand.
