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

Possibly but also I expect your body is ready to move up a level.

L1 D8

Having remembered it's 10 days of each, not 7. Even though I said 10 earlier! Dare I say it seemed easy...? Maybe because it's far cooler!

I remember lying on the floor like a dead fish trying to do Superman the first time I did Shred :o

Level 3 day 1. Some of the moves are definitely L3 but others I find quite easy e.g. Superman.
Rest day for me tomorrow.
I certainly wasn't anticipating this heat when I committed to this. But it is good preparation as I will be hiking in Provence this summer.

Ooh, a Shred-thread. I'm on Day 17 - started on 1st June but have had a few (ahem, five) rest days. The heat hasn't helped!

Bit gutted as only lost 1lb so far, but glad I've found you guys for motivation purposes. Keep Shredding!

What with the shagging foxes, it really is crass...

L1 D7

On to L2 I guess. Although I find the skater things a challenge to find the space for. I will have to move stuff around.

Level 2 day 10 complete. Moving up to Level 3 tomorrow.
Meadow sounds pretty. Not so sure about the uncouth insects it will host (crass hoppers )

Yes, thanks SD, OH said the same. I had "week" stuck in my mind.

3 levels at 10 days each.

I've done l1d2. I was explaining it to my oh who asked how you get 30 days out of 3 sets of 7... I'm flummoxed too now! Anyway, much easier second time around. I find I can disconnect as I know what's coming and the 30 seconds star jumps pass more easily. I know what's in levels 2 and 3 though and I know that's going to be tough so I'm coasting for the moment! Thanks to the thread for inspiring me to take this up!

I have decided I am cultivating a meadow in my garden. Purely for the crasshoppers and butterflies and stuff, not because I'm lazy or anything...

Just about to have my 2nd cold shower of the day.
I finished work early and had to mow the grass in south facing garden with no shade before the inevitable storm....

L1 D6... noon on the hottest day of the year is not a good time to have done it!

However, the cold shower after was the Best Thing Ever.

Level 2 Day 9. Kept having to pause to drink as there is no time in between exercises.
It's so hot. I looked in the mirror just afterwards. Not a pretty sight!

L1 D5!

Ooh, this thread is an inspiration. I did this a few years back. Used to do it first thing of a morning. Great results, I felt so strong, but didn't keep it up. Think I might do it again but would have to find a different time of day. I'm going to take before and after pics.

it was. I don't actually swim much, more bobbing about. it was nice to be cool but the sea is so much warmer than it was a couple of months ago. well done for doing it at 6am. knowing the British summer it will be raining again in 2 days so I will start then.

I did it at 6am. It was already 18 degrees outside and warmer in the living room as downstairs windows closed all night.
Anyway that's level 2 day 8 ticked off.
Sea swim sounds lovely!

hi I want to join you but it's boiling here. I usually do it in the garage ( concrete floor so no danger of snapping a floor board!)

I am off for a sea swim tonight but will start tomorrow - will bring the fan into the garage.

I last did this before my wedding and it works really quickly and really boosted my fitness. I have never done the whole 30 days so that's my aim.

Not too bad, thanks. I've done no exercise but, on the plus side, I've not eaten much this weekend! :o

soupdragon how are you feeling?
Level 2 day 7 done.
Level 3 is looming on the horizon!

What works for me is being on a thread like this. When people post it's quite motivating. Not sure whether a bunch of strangers of the Internet (hope I'm not offending anyone ) would notice or care if I give up but it does help when I don't feel like doing it.
Also Shred is repetitive so does get boring but you also really feel the improvements. So if there's an exercise with say 20 reps and the first time you skip no. 10 the next time you can push yourself to try to go to 12 before skipping one. Or if you are following Anita try to do the first 2 Nathalie's way and the next day the first 4.

Hi

I really need to start exercising again - I've done the Shred before but never got past level 1, I think I get bored! I'd really like to do the full 30 days. I'm not a morning person and struggle to fit it in then but if I leave it until the evening I'm too tired so need to think when is best. You all sound like you're doing well, well done and any tips welcome,

xx

That's a shame. Hope you feel better soon.

I did L1 D4 yesterday having had to have a rest day on Thursday. Not sure I'll manage D5 today though as I'm not feeling well.
