30 Day Shred

Having done 12 continuous days, I’ve managed to miss the last 2. Am determined to complete one today though to get back on track.

Back on it today having been off work ill with a sickness bug. Teaching really is the gift that keeps on giving. Day 19/30 done.

Well done everyone for keeping going and seeing results!

Day 9 of Body Revolution done, a repeat strength day, and 9/90 days; almost into double figures, it goes by quickly.

Heavier weights (3kg) all through this section for me today, as no shoulders involved.

Day 8 of Body Revolution done, a repeat strength day, and 8/90 days.
Still loving this one; 'this is easy for you!" (er no, but it's fun!)

Jillian's programmes definitely change our shape @Katrinawaves
I tried some trousers on the other day and they were really baggy on my outer thighs and bum. They're in the charity bag now, no going back. 😱

I'll measure at the end of every 30 days of this programme I think.

I’ve just finished Day 12 and noticed across the course of the day that my trousers were looking a bit baggy round the bum. Not necessarily the sartorial look I was going for to be fair but I think a sign that things are happening.

Level 2 is becoming easier though I still can’t do the full version of either plank thrusts or plank jumps. ☺️. Day 11 and unbroken streak continues however. Small weight drop on scales today too.

Day 6 of Body Revolution done, a cardio day. A rest day tomorrow so that's Week 1 complete and 7/90 days.

It seems to be the same plan for the next 7 days. Enjoying this one.

Day 10, and second day of Level 2 using 2kg weights. I’m starting to see some definition around my shoulders and quads I think

Day 5 of Body Revolution done, exactly same as Day 2. Cardio tomorrow then a day off 😎

Yes I quite liked level 2 in comparison to level 1. Not really sure why when I think about it, all 3 levels are hard!

Day 4 of Body Revolution done, exactly same as Day 1. Went by very quickly again. Just scrolled forward a bit on the app to discover Day 7 is a rest day! That will be a novelty 😍

Day 9 and I moved to Level 2. I was dreading this based on reviews but it honestly was nowhere nearly as bad as I feared except the plank jacks which I couldn’t master fully. It helped that I used light weights for all the exercises but I think tomorrow I can go up to 2kg for some of them at least. Glad to get this one done though and take the fear away!

@IDareSay its called Zing Coach. I quite like it. It has lots of workouts on it too based around the equipment you have and an AI coach who can answer most wellbeing questions I have thrown at her.

Day 8 completed now. I am contemplating moving up to Level 2 tomorrow as I think doing my first one on a weekend day might be sensible and I may get more benefit doing my last 22 days on Levels 2 and 3 rather than clocking up an extra 2 days on Level 1

What app is that @Katrinawaves ? Sounds interesting.

I agree about the body composition; I was just sorting through some clothes, putting the very summery stuff out of the way, and tried on a pair of shorts that last fitted me when I weighed about 4kg/half a stone less than I do today. I was astonished to find they fit! Now admittedly, they would look better when a little bit looser but I was able to easily fasten them. I'm quite shocked.

One week in to the four and I’m thrilled to have seen some NSVs already. My weight has stayed stubbornly the same all week but it seems my body composition has changed.

Last Saturday I did an AI Body scan which said that my arms and legs had good muscle tone but my core and torso were weak. This was via an app on my phone but it did align with the results of a professional grade machine at my gym the previous week. Today I repeated the scan and torso and core are both now also in the good sector albeit that the app is telling me I need to lose some fat off my abs, hips and thighs to reach my goal.

That wine was well deserved @Katrinawaves

Day 3 of Body Revolution done, a cardio day, and mercifully short at 20 minutes!

Really enjoying this programme, it's like the old school aerobics and step aerobics in a way, that I used to do back in the 80's and 90's 😁

Jillian keeps saying it only gets harder though, so we will see if I am quite so cheerful in a few weeks!

Last workout of the week: Level 1, Day 7. I also managed a reformer Pilates class in my lunch break. So a Friday night glass of wine feels warranted.

Day 2 of Body Revolution done.

Today's highlight: "Screw you Anita!" 😂

That's awesome @Katrinawaves My evenings are never so energetic!

Even later doing Day 6 tonight as I had a late night at work. But it’s done and my streak is still unbroken.

Wow, that is dedication @Katrinawaves !

Just did Day 1 of Body Revolution on the app (also available as a DVD).

Absolutely brilliant! Basically Jillian yells at you for half an hour 😁

Set in the studio with lots of impossibly beautiful fit young things, but helpful to see them occasional wobble too! I found myself smiling quite often which is unheard of during a workout 😊

Just loved it. Bearing in mind this is only day 1 though and she was very clear that it gets progressively more difficult. Going to do days 2 and 3, then will probably stick with this one for a while. Prefer it to the Slim 60, definitely.

Day 5 of level 1 completed albeit at 10pm today!

Day 3 of the Beginner Slim 60 programme done, cardio day.

Ugh, I did not like this at all! Up and down off the floor like a bloody yo-yo. Still, at least each exercise is only 20 seconds so at least by the time I was saying "I hate this!" it was time for a different one 😂

I'm going to try Body Revolution tomorrow. I'm pretty certain I'll be keeping the app, there is so much on there so I definitely won't get bored with the workouts.

Level 1, day 4 completed so my continuous streak is unbroken though I have a really busy day tomorrow and early start.

Frustratingly even though I am eating well and in calorie deficit my weight is going to however. It shot up 2lb on the first day and has stabilised at about a lb over my pre Jillian weight ever since which was not the idea of adding this to my routine!

Day 18/30 completed. Was going to try and do 2 lots this evening but I just didn’t have it in me! Arms are achy after doing double yesterday.
Will have a look at Caroline Girven as well for a change when I get to day 30.

I did Caroline Girvan weight workout last night to shake it up a bit and it was tough. J feel like I worked different muscle groups which is a good thing. She is definitely worth a try to.

Day 2 of the Beginner Slim 60 programme done, another strength day with completely different exercises than yesterday. Cardio tomorrow.

I was aching in some different places this morning, but found today's session a little easier.
