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?

Thanks Honky

I've just done L1 D3 - feeling so much better already.

Can do the push ups properly now so it really does make a difference.

Honkyzeke · 26/07/2017 07:26

I often have a bowl of Greek yogurt, granola and berries maybe a drizzle of honey if really craving sweetness after exercising, rice cakes with peanut butter and banana slices, hummus and pitta bread.

That's what I'm worried about! I really need to eat less too, in order to lose weight, and I'm worried that this is going to get in the way of that.

Does anyone have any good ideas for post-Jillian snacks that help get you over the hump but don't undo all the good work?

UsernameTaken2 · 25/07/2017 23:56

Day day 6 of level 1 done! I can't believe I'm managing this! The thing is I'm craving high fat and sugary foods more since starting this so I'm not sure if I'm going to see any results Hmm

Honkyzeke · 25/07/2017 23:51

D4 L1 6W6P still struggling with side plank things, I think if I don't get the hang of them in the next couple of days I will replace them with another Jillian exercise.

Howlongtillbedtime is at around the same point of 30DS as you are Smile

You're all doing great keep up the good work!

alicemalice · 25/07/2017 21:42

Is anyone starting from scratch? I've just done L1 D2.

Rainatnight · 25/07/2017 20:52

Can I join in? I'm going to do Jillian's Beginner's Shred. It's a bit gentler, which makes me feel like a bit of a cheat, but I have lots of joint problems and worry that I'll injure myself if I start with the full monty.

IronOrchid · 25/07/2017 20:49

Ri30 L2 D3 done. Two rest days ahead - yippee!

Howlongtillbedtime · 25/07/2017 06:52

Thanks for the encouragement everyone.

My legs are very ouchy today but I will do day 2 today. Not sure what time would be best? I am working nights now till Friday and don't want to be knackered at the start of my shift.

UsernameTaken2 · 25/07/2017 01:21

Howlong, it'll take a few days but it will get easier.
I've done two days then a rest day, and now I've done 3 days straight. I do mine at night and then I can shower and crawl straight into bed, as that's the way my body feels happiest.
The past couple of days the actual workout feels a bit harder, and I'm sweating much more but the soreness has gone (thank God)
So I've now just completed level 1 day 5 Grin

After a weekend off D3 L1 of 6w6p, I think I like this one! I'm not getting the hang of the side plank things though can't keep my balance!

IronOrchid · 24/07/2017 13:32

Ri30 L2 D2 completed.

Feel as though I've gained back the few pounds I lost in Shred - too much wine and crap food! Wish I had the same motivation with the diet as I have for exercise.

It gets easier, well done on getting day 1 out of the way!

SoupDragon · 24/07/2017 09:37

Doing your best is good enough! It does get easier (although maybe not tomorrow!)

I have fallen by the wayside. I do promise faithfully to get back into it though.

Howlongtillbedtime · 24/07/2017 09:14

Bloody hell that is tough!

Day 1 done (ish) I did my best but I couldn't manage everything. Hopefully it has to be easier tomorrow. .......

Thank you , I have a rare day home alone today so I am going to give it a go.

I am on a bit of a mission to try and sort myself out over the holidays so this seems like a good kick start.

I'm a fatty. I used to be really skinny and then past three years I've gone mad eating away.

So I'm on level 2 day 6. I was going to skip today as I've not been feeling well but I ended up doing it anyway. And I'm glad.

I've lost weight and I feel like my waist is back so go for it. But eating healthily and not over eating is also important or progress will be very slow.

I've not really lost much weight doing 30ds but have lost inches, once you get into it and start seeing results it's really motivating. It's intense if you're not used to exercise but it's only 25 mins so although I can't guarantee it I'm pretty sure you won't die from doing the shred! Smile
Don't think it's available free online though.

Howlongtillbedtime · 23/07/2017 21:15

Any fatties doing this ? I am 2 1/2 stone heavier than I would like and I am tempted but don't want to actually die.

What are my chances ? And can I watch it for free somewhere ?

Tsuipenongin · 23/07/2017 19:00

I've just picked my Jillian DVDs back up now the kids are off school and I can't run so often. Started RI30 on Fri evening and ow! My legs! It hurts more than a 10 mile run. I blame the fast feet.

IronOrchid · 23/07/2017 18:48

L2 D1 of Ri30.

What is it with level 2s and blimmin' planks?! Plus, getting used to the new exercises in a level is exhausting enough without dratted mountain climbers. Oof.
