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?

You're right about some of the cardio being harder than Level 1 Shred. I'd pick running man and the touching floor skaters. But I think most of the strength moves are easier. But maybe I would feel differently if I hadn't come from Level 3 Shred! I don't find Fast Feet hard physically but it is an uncomfortable sensation keeping upper body still while moving the lower body like that!
Level 1 Day 2 done.

L1 D2 done.

I find the cardio harder in Ripped, clear - I struggle with fast legs and the dreaded running man! Enjoying the strength sections though as they seem to go quicker than the ones in Shred.

I now fit into the sports bra I bought two years ago, although the scales say my weight hasn't budged. (Not so) pro-tip - take your measurements on day one!

That's great Babba.
Level 1 Ripped done. It's nice to have a different cool down.
I won't be able to keep you company all along Ironorchid as we go on holiday in less than 2 weeks. So I am planning to do Ripped on days when I am short of time and Killer Thighs when I have a bit longer. (Killer Thighs probably better preparation for hiking holiday)

Day 6 of 30 day shred done. I think I've lost a little over 1kg so far (eating better too).

SoupDragon · 12/07/2017 18:52

Yes, but I have to go to the bank to get cash to pay the builders.

I will start again thougheven though I haven't missed doing it in the slightest!

clearsommespace · 12/07/2017 18:19

Hown did you find it Ironorchid? IIRC it's a little easier than Shred level 1. Guests went gone today so I have no excuse. But I have got our of habit of getting up early to exercise before work. Sad
Soup, tomorrow is new day

SoupDragon · 12/07/2017 14:21

Forgive me Shredders for I have been slack and lazy... Blush

IronOrchid · 12/07/2017 13:41

Hello all - how's everyone getting along with the Shred?

Just did L1 D1 of Ripped in 30. Some reassuringly familiar moves in there! Very sweaty now so for a shower, then it's a restorative cup of coffee for me.

IronOrchid · 10/07/2017 21:40

Got my sweaty paws on Ripped in 30 (cheers, Amazon) and will start on Weds - reckon I deserve a few days off :D

clearsommespace · 10/07/2017 18:32

I mean I try to avoid seeing sweaty middle aged woman even if it's me!

clearsommespace · 10/07/2017 18:29

Ha! Soupdragon I avoid looking in the mirror until cooled and showered for exactly that reason!
So what shall we do? Have a new thread for all JM related business, stick with this one...
Still unable to jump in my living room coz of people staying but did a 7 mile hike with DH yesterday...

SoupDragon · 10/07/2017 14:04

Welcome :)

I am going to need to fit my shredding in the evenings for then next few days as I've got workmen in and I'm not sure they're ready for the sight of a red, sweaty middle aged woman in gym kit :o

babba2014 · 10/07/2017 13:51

I got to this thread after seeing a couple of years ago there were consistent monthly Jillian Michaels threads. Bring them back?
I've done 4 days of 30 day shred. This is after deciding I need to stop eating bad and take care of myself instead of eating away.
I did shred before having kids and got to day 9 then got busy but now nothing will stop me.

SoupDragon · 09/07/2017 18:12

Hurrah!

clearsommespace · 09/07/2017 16:20

Yay!
What's next? Grin

IronOrchid · 09/07/2017 12:24

I've only gone and bloody done it!

StarL3 D10! Star

Off to take a pic and compare it with ones I took on June 1st. Even if there's not a huge difference, I'm still chuffed because I finally finished 30 Days of Shred. Yippee!

SoupDragon · 08/07/2017 13:40

I am having the weekend off as I'm not entirely happy with how my arm twinges in the plank moves and I am lazy. Very very lazy

IronOrchid · 08/07/2017 12:15

L3 D9 done. Nearly there!

IronOrchid · 07/07/2017 11:43

This is true, SoupDragon Smile

L3 D8 done. Phew, weather muggy today.

clearsommespace · 07/07/2017 11:41

Wetdog have you finished?

I can't do any impact workouts until next Thursday when our guests leave. I went for a short run to the bank and back ( only 2km) this morning and did some press ups and 1 minute plank when I got back.

SoupDragon · 07/07/2017 10:27

40 days is better than 0 days!

L2 D4

IronOrchid · 06/07/2017 18:21

Unscheduled rest day, oh no!

Crazy busy in work and feel done in, so not going to push it. Ah well, 40 Day Shred will have to be good enough Smile

SoupDragon · 06/07/2017 10:14

🤔

L2 D3 and still weak and feeble in the arm department!

clearsommespace · 06/07/2017 09:07

Yes (if you're the cute one like the dino in Toy Story). Grin

SoupDragon · 06/07/2017 07:59

You've seen me??! Shock :o
