Anyone fancy joining me for a quick 30 day shred before Christmas?

I've never done it before but am feeling pretty bleugh at the moment and could do with a pick-up. I think it will help me to watch what I'm eating a bit in the run-up to Christmas too.

I've no idea if I will actually manage a whole 30 days but probably more likely to if someone else is spurring me on! Anyone up for it?

9.10am plan for the next day, after school run

I managed to seriously hurt a thigh muscle 7 mins into today's workout during the squats, so I'm out.. and in pain Sad

CheshireSplat · 22/11/2016 22:45

Brassicas I use baked bean cans for weights. Wear trainers (see my previous post) and there is a fair bit of abs work so you'll probably want a mat. And that's it!!

CheshireSplat · 22/11/2016 22:43

OP I didn't bother wearing trainers and strained my toes (which hurts a lot!!!) on level 2. That stopped me doing it for weeks then I got out of the habit amd have only just started again.

BrassicaBabe · 22/11/2016 22:41

Other than the DVD/YouTube what do I need? Weights? What kg? Ta

Ooh thanks soup!

I felt fine all day today but as soon as I picked up the weights for day 2 this evening...owwwww!!!

I'm going to feel it tomorrow!

I'm so pleased that others are joining me in this. My dh is mocking me relentlessly...

Hi

Can I join you? I've just bought the DVD in a bonkers moment via Amazon prime
DVD will be with me Thursday I think.

I've lost a stone to a stone and a half (depending on which day of the week you catch me) this year through 5:2 and various low cal diets. But I'm sick to death of the cycle I'm in of 5lbs off Monday to Friday, 5lbs on Friday to Sunday Sad

Oh, and I can't remember when I last did any serious exercise....c2003 I think Confused

SocksRock · 22/11/2016 21:32

I did day 1.

Owpain

GColdtimer · 22/11/2016 21:19

I will join you. Maybe not shred cos I got a bit bored of it but some 20 minute workout. I did a spin and abs class yesterday. Will do shred tomorrow before my meeting. Have started a 3 week clean eating plan too. Will shift half a stone before Christmas!! Good luck!

Level 3 is heRe

I sought it out in the summer - don't be put off by all the foreign language around it, the video is in English :)

I did this over the summer and then had months off. I'm now on about day 4 of level 1 again.

StrawberriCream · 22/11/2016 21:16

Oooh going to start tomorrow :)

DeliciousIrony · 22/11/2016 21:13

Ooh day 2, how are you feeling?

I've always found that doing running and jumping without shoes really strains my calves, not sure why - making compensating for extra stability? But see how you feel, some people do it without. Just don't drop your weights!

Did Killer Buns and Thighs L1 today. I've had this DVD for ages and only done the first level a handful of times; I think I once ventured to L2 and swiftly regretted it! I want to aim to try that again (and maybe even have a go at level 3).

Just about to do my day 2.

This may be a really daft question but am I supposed to wear trainers? Yesterday I did it barefoot and will do today but I notice they are all wearing trainers in the clip...

You do each level for 10 days

Jungfraujoch · 21/11/2016 22:12

Thanks for the links. So do I try Level 1 for 30 days?

busyrascal · 21/11/2016 20:41

Oh no! I can't find it either!

DeliciousIrony · 21/11/2016 20:26

Can't seem to find Level 3 on youtube anymore for free.

I did Jillian's Killer Body (Upper body) workout today, and 10 mins of hula hooping. Feel really good now, getting started is always the hardest bit but you won't regret doing it Smile

It's on You Tube.

I enjoyed it! It was quite hard in parts though and I'm sure I will ache tomorrow! Now to see if I manage to keep it up...

Is the program online anywhere?

CamdenTownie · 21/11/2016 19:47

I'm going to give this a go tomorrow morning will be the start of good things Hmm

I really need a helping hand to get toned up a bit before it all goes to pot at Christmas

ThornyBird · 21/11/2016 19:19

I've just done day 1 with DC1(15) and dc4(7). Now I have to heave my aching body out in the rain to collect dc2&3 from their swimming lesson Sad

I think I may have to resort to that tomorrow pink!

Right, here goes...

I got 4 year old to join in with me yesterday...she thought it was hilarious!!

RatOnnaStick · 21/11/2016 17:44

I'll have another go. I started it in September but couldn't make time for more than 2 days on the trot so it went by the wayside. I'll have to be a bit more disciplined. I don't have proper weights. Tin cans will do me for a bit.

SocksRock · 21/11/2016 17:41

I have weights. I have the DVD. I even have the remote for the DVD player which has just returned from a 4 month holiday down the back of the radiator...

I just need to fucking do it.

Tomorrow, yes?
