30 Day Shred

Anyone want to join me?
Yes I know it’s an oldie but I did it about 15 years ago and it was really effective.
I’ve just done day one and the weights and abs stuff weren’t too bad but the cardio nearly killed me, I’m more unfit than I realised.

I’m pacing myself 😀

Round 2, L1 D4 done, 10/30 and just like that I'm a third of the way through!

You are so close to the end @Saggyoldclothbody it's such a great feeling to complete it 😍

We are all amazing GrinStar

Saggyoldclothbody · 28/08/2025 13:47

L3. D8 done ✔️

Well done to everyone for taking part, irrespective of what stage you’re at. It’s hard work 🥵 but we can keep going 😊

Round 2, L3 D3 done, 9/30

Did some of the moves with 3kg weights. Brutal!

User456778976546 · 27/08/2025 20:00

I’ve completed L1 D5 today. It already feels a lot easier but it’s still tough. I’ve got 2.5kg weights, but I have to put them down for the side lunge, arm raise bit. I feel fitter, but definitely don’t look it!

Round 2 D1 L1 1/30

Have also found Ripped in 30 on YouTube so will have a go at that when I have a bit more time.

I saw 4 people today I haven’t seen for a few of weeks. Did any of them notice any difference? Did they heck as like!

Need to measure myself before I forget.

It can take a couple of months for others to notice but as long as you feel better that's what matters.

Fundays12 · 27/08/2025 17:48

That's me done burn fat boost metabolism today instead of shred. The mixing it up seems to be working as clothes are getting looser

😃 I HAVE DONE IT! Level 3 Day 10 completed 😃 30 days all done

I am going to start again and try and be more Natalie. I’ve only got 1.5kg weights. You lot with 3kg or 5kg are super hardcore!!

Fantastic well done.

Round 2, L1 D3 done, 7/30

That's ome serious steps @Fundays12 !

I know what you mean @User456778976546 it's great when you finish!

Thanks my kids have moved to a different school which is further away so the steps are adding up quickly.

OublietteBravo · 26/08/2025 17:38

I have 1kg, 2kg and 3kg weights. I mostly use the 2kg. Sometimes I use the 1kg for the second set of reps (e.g. chair squats with a v raise). Sometimes I use the 3kg for the first set of reps.

Disturbia81 · 23/08/2025 17:45

My arms have got really defined and bigger muscles BUT I had nothing to start with 🤣 I use 3kg and thinking of trying heavier

Show quote history

I can’t imagine being able to do it all with 3kg weights. I do pick them up for a couple of the exercises in each level but couldn’t do the whole thing with them. I’m sure someone said they did it all with 5kg weights upthread because they didn’t have any others. That’s hardcore! 🙌🏆🏅

Saggyoldclothbody · 26/08/2025 13:19

L3 D7 done ✔️

I think I’ve got to go through them all again to decide which is my least favourite but I think it might be elements of Level 3 (although I don’t mind the plank exercises apart from the arm lift and donkey kick - might have that name wrong - as my wrists can’t stand it and the weights go rolling off).

I have realised how my priorities have changed; my the pins holding my Fitbit to the strap broke just as I was setting up my exercise area and I was on to the internet immediately to see how soon one could be delivered. I NEED MY STATS! I then sellotaped the Fitbit back onto my wrist so I could record today’s session 😂

Fundays12 · 26/08/2025 11:34

That's l2 shred done today. It was blooming hard. I would have moved onto L3 tomorrow but am planning doing burn fat boost metabolism instead then L3 shred on Thursday. I did notice I am developing some arm tone this morning which I am delighted by.

IDareSay · 26/08/2025 10:28

Round 2, L1 D3 done, 7/30

@Fundays12 hope you’re feeling better today. Don’t blame you for not doing it yesterday, it’s hard enough when you feel ok!

Level 3 day 9 ✔️ nearly, nearly done. Last day tomorrow! Level 3 is so much nicer than level 2.

I am thanks. I decided to change it uo today as my metabolism seems to work better when I do and did JM Burn Fat Boost metabolism dvd. Omg it's tough and longer but I think i will do it a couple of times a week and shred 4 days a week. I read an article that Jillian said at a later day its fine to mix it up a bit. I also did 16.2k steps today so have been pretty active.

User456778976546 · 25/08/2025 16:03

L1 D3 done. It actually felt much easier today and my left knee didn’t hurt at all when it has been painful so far.
I dread doing it, but the relief after is amazing.

IDareSay · 25/08/2025 10:45

Round 2, L3 D2 done, 6/30, that's 20% of the way through 😎

Fundays12 · 24/08/2025 22:07

I didn't do it today. I literally have not stopped all week and started a period today so didn't feel great. I will be right back into it tomorrow.

Happyhettie · 24/08/2025 18:41

But you did it! @IDareSay and that’s a great list of improvements.

Level 3 Day 8 done and dusted. I’m doing a good impression of a beetroot. 29 degrees tomorrow forecast for day 29. 😬 but I quite like the fact it’s the same number.

Iwillclasptheeagain · 24/08/2025 10:33

Well done xx that is a fab list of improvements

IDareSay · 24/08/2025 10:23

It's now much easier to get into my sports bra.
There are some vague dents either side of my belly button which may turn out to be developing abdominal muscles when the fat layer reduces.
I am much more sprightly going up the stairs.
My balance is improving.
I can see some muscle definition in my arms.
My posture is better.
A family member I haven't seen for a while said I was looking really good.

These are some of the things I told myself this morning to make myself JFDI because I really did not want to shred this morning!

Round 2, L2 D2 done, 5/30

It was ugly 😫Halo
