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?

Only 7 days to go somme, good work!

L1D10 done for me. L2 beckons, have forgotten what's in it as it's been so long since the last time!

clearsommespace · 21/09/2017 12:24

L3D3 done.

Hello tooth fairy.
Extra leg stretches should help with the calves. On the workout, the arm stretches are sufficient but the leg stretches need to be twice as long IMO.

New starter here. L1D3. I been doing it barefoot and no extra stretches. Feel okay apart from my calves which are so tight and sore.

Been using 500g tins of soup. Off to buy weights today.

D9 L1 done, I think I'll go for 10 too as it's a nice round number! I round my reps up, even the evil push ups!

clearsommespace · 19/09/2017 11:29

L3 D1
Such a relief to have finished level 2.

clearsommespace · 18/09/2017 12:53

I'm doing 10 of each level which means I completed level 2 this morning. I can feel my body has adapted to the moves so I don't think one would get much benefit from repeating for even longer.
So Chloe, do you add an extra one or do one less in order to even out the reps?

chloechloe · 18/09/2017 12:26

D8 of L1 done.

Stupid question, but how many days of L1 should I be doing? Think I'll go for 10 even though I've had a few rest days in between as I like round numbers! (Totally OCD but when doing the reps I can't finish in an odd number either Blush)!

clearsommespace · 17/09/2017 07:56

L2 D9 done. The moves I hate are high knees and squat thrusts, V raises. I have made my peace with plank twists.

chloechloe · 16/09/2017 11:05

D7 of L1 done!

chloechloe · 15/09/2017 11:48

D6 of L1 done. Will try and carry on over the weekend to catch up on the days I've missed. I have the impression that my tummy is looking a lot more toned shame about the hips and my quads are looking much more defined. Am dreading level 2, it's ages since I did it but I recall done awful moves!

clearsommespace · 15/09/2017 08:59

L2 D8 complete. Rest day tomorrow.

chloechloe · 14/09/2017 12:04

Good work somme! D5 of L1 done today for me.

clearsommespace · 14/09/2017 08:56

L2D7 complete. Just realised I am more than half way through.Smile

chloechloe · 13/09/2017 10:22

Thanks somme, she just has a cold but she's teething as well and it's making her pretty miserable poor thing.

Welcome rabaria!

clearsommespace · 13/09/2017 08:14

L2 D6 complete

clearsommespace · 13/09/2017 01:01

I wouldn't read the whole thread. It's not exactly an eye-opening debate Grin
JM says on a different workout DVD to take at least one rest day a week.
chloe hope your baby perks up quickly

rabaria · 12/09/2017 19:39

Haven't read the whole thread . . . Want to start this next week and I'm wondering about rest days? Do you take one after each level , or once a week?

chloechloe · 12/09/2017 19:37

D4 of L1 done yesterday. Have fallen off the bandwagon today as the baby is ill and screechy. Not sure I can face going to do it now Blush

9GreenBottles · 12/09/2017 13:30

Well, my high knees are more medium to low knees and I'm definitely not doing pogoing double jump rope as high as Natalie Grin It's strange the way we can be more suited to some exercises and not to others.

L2 D2 complete.

clearsommespace · 12/09/2017 08:49

9green I find the cardio much harder in Level 2. I hate high knees !
L2 D5 done.

9GreenBottles · 11/09/2017 12:24

L2D1 complete. Cardio not as bad as level 1 for me, but I feel a strange twinge in my hamstring from some of the lunges. More warmup needed next time!

clearsommespace · 11/09/2017 08:06

L2 D4 complete.

clearsommespace · 10/09/2017 10:46

L2D3
Had to keep pausing to drink (Indulged in a couple of glasses of wine last night).

clearsommespace · 09/09/2017 12:18

Sorry I don't know about it. Rest day for me today although biking into town this afternoon and it's uphill on the way back.
