If it's June it must be Jillian - all Shreddees and other Jillian devotees check in here!

Oh, and I really need to sort myself out a better bra for the jumping stuff.

Hello, I'd like to join you.

I'm a beginner at this, but have managed to get to day 5 on level 1 of 30DS on youtube. And feeling pretty pleased with myself.
I've got beyond the aching now (I was hobbling about a bit after the first couple of days). But am loving how it's making me feel now.
I hardly move in my day to day life and finding time isn't easy. But now I've done a few days of this i feel somehow more awake and lively throughout the day.

Those jumping jacks though! I can't get through that second set of them and the jump rope. But am getting better.
Level 2 also looks to be on Youtube. I may get the DVD then for level 3, but was thinking about doing the 'Banish fat, boost metabolism' one instead, as it's also on youtube.

I really want to lose weight too, so should look at eating less too, to get best results. (I don't want to just turn my flabby arms into muscle).

I probably won't be wearing serious fitness gear to do the Race For Life. I've seen the footage on YouTube and can confidently assert that I won't be wearing deely boppers or a hot pink tutu either. Running tights and a baggy t-shirt will probably suffice.

30DS L1D7

It was probably the last thing I wanted to do today and put it off and off, but so glad I did it in the end so I could write it up here. Thanks all for posting and keeping my motivation going!

NMTZ today.
Well done on the Race for Life Saul. My sister is pestering me to do a 5K with her but despite my addiction to Jillian for the past 6 months, I still refused to be seen in fitness gear outside the house .

Crikey blimey, should not have upped the handweights so quickly - shoulders are screaming after yesterday's L1D6. That combined with fuzzy hangover head means another rest day for me, though have managed to sneak in a few yoga workouts thanks to YouTube. Back on it tomorrow, hopefully.

Blueskies, level 2 isn't too hard tbh. It feels like a natural progression. It is quite knee intensive though. You have to really watch your form. Personally, I find level 3 easier than level 2. So that's something to look forward to...

I'm about to do Six Week Six Pack and then later I'm going to do a 5k run. I've got a Race For Life (with added mud apparently) next month so am trying to stick some running into my programme. I hate running. Sadly, I'm doing the Race For Life with a group of 20 something women who are super fit. I am going to hold them back, show them what mid-30s and 2 children does to that level of fitness.

Level 2 day 7, I think, done. Yesterday's slump seems to have passed, I felt a more normal level of energy.

Anyone doing ripped in 30, what's that like?!

30ds l1 day 9 for me. Hada week off it due to heavy period post mc. Seems easier tho now nearly done with l1. Had a sneak peak of l2 and it looks hard, especially as my cordination is not the greatest!

Workouts 1 and 2 of Kickbox Fastfix done.
Agree with the comments about Insanity being too frantic. One of my friends swears by Shaun though as she doesn't like Jillian's habit of mixing in floor work to a cardio workout. I must admit I'm not a fan of that either so I just substitute some upper body moves or do high knees or whatever and keep the floor work effort to NMTZ twice a week.

30DS L1D8. Definitely feeling easier now.

Tomorrow will be a rest day for me (I have a work event I can't escape from). Hoping to finish level 1 before the weekend...

Right, I think Ripped in 30 will be my next to try, I did 30DS L2 again today, and Pilates last night.
I think I need to add a fourth regular workout day in case of missing one, as I couldn't do my swim last week. I will be able to do it this week but if I want to do another Shred it will have to be Friday nap time.

Do you mind if I join you? I've got lots of things coming up, including our first weekend away in 8yrs to celebrate our anniversary, two music festivals and camping in Devon with my parents so will probably include swimwear and beaches.

I've devised a sort of hotchpotch workout combining my favourite DVDs, weight lifting and running. The one constant atm is 6 Week 6 Pack which I'm doing every day for 6 weeks (started June 1st). I've done it a few times and love it.

Today I did 6 Week 6 Pack, immediately followed by Level 3 of the Shred. Mostly used 8k weights but dropped down slightly for a couple of things. I've taken my measurements and in 6 weeks aim to lose an inch from waist, gain a cm on each bicep and a cm on thighs, a cm on calves.

And watching Level 2

30DS L1D6

I did Level 1 d 6 this morning. Feeling it in my legs today. I usually do it in the evening so get to sit down after. I think the morning is a better idea though as there is less opportunity to find an excuse not to do it.

I had an unexpected rest day yesterday with an unscheduled appointment so back on the Jill wagon today. Just did level 2, day 5 or 6 I think. Despite a blessed full night sleep and the rest yesterday, I felt massively lethargic and barely made it through even in a half-hearted way. Hopefully tomorrow will feel stronger and better.

Onwards and upwards, Shredders!

L1 Day5 done yesterday - went to spin class tonight so skipped today's shred.

Bought some 2.5kg weights in sale earlier - looking forward to putting them to good use tomorrow. Shred on, shredders!

39DS L1D7. Had to use my lightest weights today as I've somehow injured my finger (the knuckle of my middle finger on my right hand is swollen and painful).

NMTZ. Somehow over the weekend I've managed to hurt my wrist so I had to miss out a couple of plank moves. Hope it gets better soon as I feel like a skiver if I don't do all the moves.

30DS L1D5

Peonies hope you're feeling better soon xx
