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

415 replies

I started in Feb and managed 25 days or so but got a stinking cold and my whole health kick went down the drain. Think 8lbs heavier now Shock

I started yesterday with Day 1 Level 1 and determined to keep up with it.

I've also started playing tennis again and I'm determined that by my hols in 7 weeks I will be fitting back in my size 12 clothes.

Anyone want to join in with some daily motivation?

Level 2 day 6 complete.
Rest day for me tomorrow.

clearsommespace · 16/06/2017 07:09

Level 2 day 5 complete.

SoupDragon · 15/06/2017 13:13

I've not been able to do D4 yet today, it will have to wait til this evening I think. I'm already hurting less though!

clearsommespace · 15/06/2017 12:13

Level 2 day 4 complete. This time tomorrow I'll be halfway through Smile
How did you get on shegotofftheplane ?
How's everyone else doing?

L1 D3 and the only time I think ivpm going to die is, bizarrely, the first cardio circuit with jacks and jump rope. I don't know why but that first set kills me!

clearsommespace · 14/06/2017 08:10

Level 2 day 3 complete. Can't decide which I hate most: the V raises or the cardio combo in circuit 1.

SoupDragon · 13/06/2017 12:08

I think Shred is quite tough on the knees. You could do smaller squat movements or I used to substitute in a different exercise if there was one my back protested at.

SoupDragon · 13/06/2017 12:06

L1 D2 ticked off :)

My 16 year old is currently walking round the house in just shorts flaunting the 6 pack he got through fuck all effort and a diet mostly consisting of bacon. Git.

SheGotOffThePlane · 13/06/2017 10:28

I'm going to start this tomorrow. I've got slightly dodgy knees though, can I do less squats and still have similar results?
Plus I need to be able to bend for my job, if I'm throwing myself into a car bum first it looks very unprofessional Grin

clearsommespace · 13/06/2017 10:17

That's good news Soupdragon.
Day 12 complete.

SoupDragon · 12/06/2017 09:47

And this time, I took photos for the first time. They are not good!!

SoupDragon · 12/06/2017 09:46

I've finally been in the right place mentally to get back to this ( I last did it in the month before christmas and before that, this time last year when shorts weather beckoned!!)

D1 L1 done. I must say that I am pleasantly surprised at how long the base fitness has lasted between attempts. When I did this for the very first time a couple of years ago, I was dead after the warm up!

clearsommespace · 12/06/2017 08:37

Day 11 complete.

clearsommespace · 10/06/2017 13:22

That's great Vicar. Rest day for me today. Good job too as yesterday I managed to let a log roll on one foot and stub my toe on the other foot! No serious harm done.

TheVicarOfNibbleswicke · 10/06/2017 09:42

I'm on day 16 now. Day 6 of level two. My eyes are as dead as Natalie's, however got lots of compliments at work yesterday and my tight trousers felt way looser all over. That keeps me going!

FritzyMousey · 09/06/2017 21:29

I'm more of an evening person, 9 or 10 then a shower before bed! I've cheated today though as I've done a Joe Wicks workout from YouTube instead, I just couldn't face level 2 again!

chloechloe · 09/06/2017 20:16

I was naughty yesterday and skipped a day. Was planning to do it at 9pm after waiting for my dinner to go down but then ended up watching a film instead!

Today I got it out the way in the morning - I much prefer it like that, it makes the rest of the day much more relaxed

As motivation I'm planning to buy myself done nice new bikinis for my holiday in July!

clearsommespace · 09/06/2017 06:42

Day 10 of Shred complete. I went back to L1 (9th session of that) because I felt tired. ( I didn't sleep enough due to watching the election coverage.)

SeagullGirl · 08/06/2017 09:38

Survived Level 2 Day 1. Agree those squat things are evil. Don't feel too bad today, but I think it's going to be a struggle to do the whole thing again tonight.

clearsommespace · 08/06/2017 06:25

Morning!
I just realised I counted wrong. Yesterday was Day 8 Level 1. Today should have been Day 9 Level 1 but I decided to do Level 2 instead.
I hate that last strength move. V fly? Whatever the name of the muscle it works on, mine are non-existent! Otherwise, not as bad as I feared.
I can't decide whether to stick at L2 (that would mean 12 days in total, eek!) or to mix in my spare L1 sessions.

clearsommespace · 07/06/2017 21:40

I'm not counting the rest days. So doing Monday to Friday only it will take me 6 weeks to complete.

hoopdeloop · 07/06/2017 21:31

Such a daft question, but see if you are doing Level 1 and you have to do rest days, do you still have to do 10 days of the exercise at that level? Or does a rest day count as part of the 10 days at that level?

FritzyMousey · 07/06/2017 20:56

Seagullgirl defined shoulders are a great achievement!

I'm on Day 5 Level 2 and still feeling incredibly uncoordinated with the moves. I'm almost up to Natalie's level with squat-like things, but planks and cardio I'm struggling withBlush

SeagullGirl · 07/06/2017 13:08

Level 2, Day 1 for me this evening. Will report back.
I'm sure my shoulders are looking somehow more defined (I've never paid any attention to my shoulders before!).

clearsommespace · 07/06/2017 05:16

I do it first thing. DC messed with my biological clock and now I am the early riser and they sleep until the last minute (teens). It's harder to find time after work and there may be non-family members in the house. Just about to do day 7, L1.
