Need to shift my winter flab and tone up so I'm going to do the 30 day shred starting tomorrow. I will carry on running 3 x per week as usual and I will be drinking no booze for the 30 days but otherwise eating normally. I'll weigh and measure my waist in the morning and use this thread as my diary to help me stay motivated- feel free to join in if you fancy Smile

Ruby - I'm planning on doing ripped in 30 after this too.

Day 14, level 1&2. Last day of level 1&2 tomorrow, woohoo!

LumpySpacedPrincess · 05/04/2016 17:23

First workout since holiday, I did this as it's only 22 minutes and it doesn't repeat a move which stopped me from giving up!

Bleugh, day one done.

RubySlippers77 · 04/04/2016 23:54

L3 D8 done and ordered Ripped in 30 to carry on the good work with... If it's too much I can always start the Shred again!

Well done on your run faux!!

Day 13 level 1&2 done. Looking forward to day 16 and swapping level 1 for level 3.

7 days in. I lost a lb this weekdespite pre-menstrual bloating so I'm counting it as a win! I'm looking forward to taking measurements midweek to see if there's been a change.

Day 5 level 3 done Smile going to try and have a super healthy week - no wine, lots of water, proper meals, lots of veg...the end is in sight!

Day 12 - Levels 1, 2 and 3. Urgh. I struggle with balance on any of the lunge exercises in all 3 levels. I think I might need to add some ab stuff in as I think my core is pretty weak which would explain my inability to balance.

Level 3 day 4 done - I think I have sorted out my issues with some of the moves - the walking plank thing I do clockwise first set and the other way next set instead of alternating each one which is much less confusing for me. The jump squat things I was finding it hard to stay balanced so I have invented a sort of skip version that is half way between Natalie and Anita level Grin and the rock stars I have swapped for butt kicks - I just feel like a lumpy elephant doing rock stars - too depressing, sorry jillian! I have definitely toned up loads doing this - really recommend it Smile

I cheat on level 1 - I do jumping jacks with butt kicks in circuit 1, and then skipping with shadow boxing in circuit 2. It hurts much less this way around Grin

I think I prefer level 3 to level 2. Maybe that means I'm getting fitter.

Rinceoir · 01/04/2016 23:07

Kirin I find the jumping jacks and skipping makes me feel that my calves are on fire! Glad it's not just me!

EnidClowes · 01/04/2016 22:47

Ooh good idea re measurements. I can feel muscles aching working so it must be doing something. Also interested to read that some of you do double sessions! In awe

kirinm · 01/04/2016 22:35

I think I prefer level 3 to 1. I still struggle to do jumping jacks, skipping, jumping jacks, skipping without a 5 second breather.

Rinceoir · 01/04/2016 21:56

Kirin I'm even more scared now. That sounds really hard. I may need to stay on level one for longer!

Rinceoir · 01/04/2016 21:55

I just did day 5, I'm no longer in pain and didn't nearly cry during the bicycle crunches so I think it's progress! I took my measurements day 1 and will do them again on day 10 to see if it's made any difference.

EnidClowes · 01/04/2016 20:54

I had a day off yesterday and today was hard. Remind me/convince me it gets easier. I can't even laugh without pain! I am so unfit, I had no idea.

kirinm · 01/04/2016 09:26

Do you know what a ham curl is? It's basically doing that with both legs at the same time, so a jump bringing both legs into a ham curl behind you.

I have no idea if that makes sense?!

Rinceoir · 01/04/2016 08:18

I'm scared now, what's a rockstar jump? I'm not the best co-ordinated and find the bicycle crunches on level one really hard.

OublietteBravo · 31/03/2016 22:12

I moved on to 30DS L3 today. I hate the rockstar jumps with a passion. The rest of the circuit seems OK - it seemed easier than level 2.

AtticusFlinch · 31/03/2016 21:51

I'm with you on this, Faux - I'm fit enough to do the moves, but definitely don't always have the coordination!

The jumpy lunges, the rockstar jumps, the walking planks...just can't get them to flow...never mind, it might get better Hmm

Day 11, level 1&2 done. My shins really ache.

kirinm · 31/03/2016 18:10

Faux - which bits are you finding tricky - technique wise, I mean?

Level 3 day 3 done - really not enjoying this level...it's not just that it's hard, some of the moves just feel so clumsy Sad

Onwards...
