30 Day Shred... anyone want to join me?

Hi

Is anyone about to start this? I've tried it before but not completed it. I'm trying to motivate myself to start it tomorrow - I'm really unfit and have put lots of weight on and hoping this will give me a jumpstart. How do you motivate yourself to do it when you really don't feel like it? I give up way to easily! Anyone found this has really helped with weight loss?

Ripped L2 again. I'm going to try to do each level 10 times but starting on L2. Maybe by the 10th time I'll manage the plank cardio!

Yes, that plank cardio circuit is the pits. I'll really know I'm fit if I can ever do that without stopping.

L1D8 done here.

I did Ripped Level 2 today. 2 minutes of cardio in plank! Ouch!

L1 D7 done. I had three days off the Shred, which I didn't intend, but did at least manage Yoga Meltdown L1 on Saturday.

Well done clearsomme!

Level 3 Day 10.
I've finished

Hi everyone!

I had a really bad week last week and only managed one session Hoping to get back on it today.

somme you're nearly finished - good work!

Oh that's a bummer toothfairy. I hope you recover soon.
Level 3 day 9.
I do have Ripped in 30. Did it a few years back. It certainly is evil. I don't think I can manage this pace (30 mins every morning every weekday) long term. Perhaps I'll do it every other day....
I definitely need to set myself an objective otherwise I won't do anything.

I spoke too soon - have injured my knee. Probably have poor form.

Had yesterday off and did L1D8 today. But couldn't finish the cardio as it hurt too much. Think I'll need a couple of days to recover. Then we are off on trip which involves lots of bush/forest and beach walking so I need to be better.

On my day off I did a couple of the 5 min sessions on the app so will do those instead.

Still haven't lost a single pound.

L1 D6 done. I'm going to have the weekend off the Shred but may do one of JM's yoga DVDs tomorrow.

L1 D5 done. It's the first strength circuit that gets to me: my upper body has got really weedy since I last Shredded. I can just about do one full set of proper push-ups, but I have to go onto my knees for the second set.

clearsomespace, Ripped in 30 is a good one to move on to. Basically the same format as the Shred, though very slightly longer. (Not very much longer: L1 of the Shred is 27 minutes according to my DVD player!). Some of it significantly more evil, though!

Hi Nefret

L1D7 completed.

My DVD finally arrived just as I was about to give up. So now I can see everything properly for the first time. Those girls do keep a very straight face, don't they. I wonder if it is botox.

The only bit I really struggle with now is the bastard bicycle crunches at the end. Have purchased 1.5kg weights.

Hi Nefret!
Level 3 D8
I need to think about what I will do when I have finished....

Can I join? I'm on L1 Day 4 of the Shred. I've done it before but have really fallen off the exercise wagon in the last six months, so I needed to start again and get my act together.

L3 D7 done.

Is it wrong that we got Domino's pizza so I had time to shred tonight?

D6L1 done.

I am feeling better and the aches have almost gone but haven't noticed any weight loss or inches gone yet.

Isn't it! I prefer L3 cardio (although the rock star jumps are also pretty evil!)

D1 of L2 done. The cardio is evil!!!!

5/7 is great. I can see that the exhaustion afterwards being really inconvenient. I wonder if it will pass as your body adjusts or if there is something to be concerned about. (I usually feel physically tired but mentally alert and not sleepy for a few hours afterwards.)
L3 D5 here.

I didn't manage to do anything for the last two days and probably won't manage today either.

It's been so long since I've done level 3 that I don't remember the lopsided ab move somme! On the whole the unequal number of moves does wind me up though!

I've managed 5/7 days this week which was my aim. Plus some serious spring gardening this weekend.

Main problem is feeling awful for a few hours after and needing a wee sit down hour long nap which is cutting into my work time.

Today I shredded at 7pm while DD watched and hopefully I will just sleep well tonight.

I'm in awe of you L2 and 3ers.

Level 3 D4 done.
Chloe, have you seen the last ab move from L3 is totally lopsided? How will you cope ?
Toothfairy, you can do it! The first few days are the worst because of the stiffness.

Glad you are no longer in agony. I had 2 rest days because of a work thing which meant getting up at 6 to be on time yesterday. Wasn't going to get up even earlier to Shred! Saturday is my usual rest day and I was exhausted after Friday so decided to keep it as a rest day.

Thanks clearsomme. I had a day off and went back to it yesterday with shoes and extra stretches. Now my calves and the rest of me are just a wee bit sore rather than bloody agony. W

Wondering if I can stick with it though. Any my DVD hasn't even arrived yet! (Am in NZ)
