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?

Perhaps at first you could aim to hold the plank for the required time instead of twisting and tapping?
It has been very close, hasn't it! We had a much needed huge storm last night.

FritzyMousey · 02/06/2017 22:53

I think it's all the plank ones, I've never been very good at plankingBlush I think it'll take me a while to even catch up to Anita's pace on some of them so I might be stuck on level 2 for a couple of weeks, sweating buckets here!

FritzyMousey · 02/06/2017 17:48

I think I will drop my weights on some of them, will defo try and hold my abs in, thanks for the reminder, don't want to give myself a bad back!

clearsommespace · 02/06/2017 15:44

Good luck!
Can you drop your weights a little. Would that help?
I did some pilates for a while and the instructor kept reminding us to suck in our abs all the time. IIRC she said it was to support our backs.

FritzyMousey · 02/06/2017 09:46

I've missed the last 2 days but determined to get back on it tonight. My back ached a lot after starting level 2 but I'll try it again at a slow pace tonight and see how I go.

Day 5, Level completed. How's everyone else doing?
Rest day for me tomorrow.

clearsommespace · 01/06/2017 07:34

Day 4, Level 1 completed.

hockityponktas · 31/05/2017 22:58

Bwatch that seems reasonable enough to me!
I tried to do some of Joe wicks YouTube videos once. Disaster! I seriously lack coordination and some of his moves were right trickyGrin

BWatchWatcher · 31/05/2017 22:14

I fear level 3. Can I skip it tonight if I've ordered a Joe Wicks cookbook?

hockityponktas · 31/05/2017 21:15

Don't know bwatch, I don't want to either after just doing level 2Grin!

BWatchWatcher · 31/05/2017 20:00

What happens in level 3? Shock

hockityponktas · 31/05/2017 16:03

NoConfused buries head in sand over level 3

clearsommespace · 31/05/2017 15:53

If you started to get stressed in anticipation, then you probably did burn more calories! Grin
Have you seen the push-ups in Level 3 yet?

FritzyMousey · 31/05/2017 14:32

I did that hockity, I left it playing a few times so I'd get the idea...I'm sure you burn calories just watching tooWink

hockityponktas · 31/05/2017 12:33

Just watched it (no popcornHalo)
I think Anita might be my friend on this one!

clearsommespace · 31/05/2017 11:07
Grin Probably defeats the object if you watch with popcorn!
hockityponktas · 31/05/2017 11:04

Walking push ups?! Shock
I think I need to watch level 2 from the safety of the sofa before I attempt itGrin

clearsommespace · 31/05/2017 10:39

I remember finding those walking push-ups in Level 2 less of a shock to the system than the Nathalie push-ups in Level 1. But I may well be eating my hat in 2 weeks time!

hockityponktas · 31/05/2017 08:34

Whoops just seen the link for level 2 had already been posted! ThanksStar
I'm not sure I like the sound of weird push up things, I struggle with ordinary push ups!

FritzyMousey · 31/05/2017 08:05

I did Level 2 Day 1 last night but I took it quite easy, defo following Anita, aching today!

BWatchWatcher · 31/05/2017 07:01

I fear level 2. There are some weird push up things in it. ;(

clearsommespace · 31/05/2017 06:57

Hope you are feeling better today Toasted

Day 3 Level 1 completed. Already bored in my head but not yet got to the stage where my body is used to the moves.

Has anyone moved up to level 2 yet?

clearsommespace · 30/05/2017 06:13

That's a bummer Toasted. Hope you feel better soon. It should be easier to get back to exercising this time round. It's harder to be motivated in winter.
Day 2, Level 1 completed.
I did loads of extra stretches on my legs yesterday so they weren't too bad but my ouch my upper arms!

BWatchWatcher · 29/05/2017 22:55

@toastedbeagle sympathies Wine
Having a cold in summer sucks.

Right, I am going to do it now and run tomorrow morning.
Eugh

Haven't shredded since last Tuesday, but have played tennis 3 times and been for a run.

Now got a stinking cold, pah. Feel like I need a big hug frankly. Well done to all those who've managed it this week!
