30 Day Shred

Awww little helper/hinderer 🤣

I found level 3 not much harder stamina wise, just some of the moves were a bit more awkward.

Well done shredders, we’ve got this! ♥️
I’ve started another round and my thighs have never ached so much, I’m hoping this mean maximum muscle beefage haha.

L2 D9 ✔️ Level 3 is inching closer! I may need to watch a bit of it to prime my body for the shock 😳

I can’t remember who said they wanted cats to join in my workout but this is the kind of thing I have to put up with 🐾

Yay well done @IDareSay I’m glad to hear from you this morning despite Jillian’s best efforts to finish you off 😆

Managed to get out of bed earlier with no more than the usual aches and pains so will be joining you on L3 D2 later.

L3 D2 done.

Tiny bit easier today as I knew what I was doing more or less!

8 sessions to go...😱

I'm about half and half Anita and Natalie @Happyhettie , depending on the exercise. I can do a full push up now, which I could not do 3 weeks ago, but lunges really do me in, mainly because of my balance, though that is getting better. The combination moves in L3 are really tough; leaping about with weights I am in fear for the tv and the window!
I'm very aware that this whole thing would be a damn sight easier if I was 4 or 5kg lighter; maybe by Christmas if I keep this up when I am back from hols.
I did one of my earlier sessions upstairs @Iheartmysmart but DH insisted it would be safer for us all if I stuck to downstairs workouts
Welcome @Twinstudy , this thread popped up in trending for me too, about 3 weeks ago and here I am on L3 having last done this workout back in the noughties 😳It really does work so hang in there.

So random this popped up on trending, I started (again 😁) on Saturday. My thighs are broken today 😭 😂I'm so unfit. I've had to take a rest day today after powering thorough yesterday because I can honestly barely move. Love it tho, and I love Gillian (and pretend MAGA Gillian doesn't exist)

Same here @IDareSay L3 D1 just completed. Have to be honest and say I actually found it a bit easier than L2 but will report back more thoroughly tomorrow - assuming I can get out of bed. Still can’t do a sit up to save my life though.

I also follow Anita @Happyhettie Partly because I’m really unfit and partly due to the fact I don’t want my downstairs neighbour’s ceiling to cave in by me doing loads of jumping around.

So still scared of doing it because of jacks/bad knee. But I discovered I had her fast fix kick-boxing dvd. So I’ve just done the first workout of that.
I’m a puddle but okay!

Well she does say she wants you to feel like you're dying 😂

Level 1 Day 8 completed. Still only doing half jacks and following Anita. I will not be injured!

@IDareSay Very well done! L3 is hard going. It will feel easier by day 5 or 6 (apparently!)

@Greenfingers37 Good luck! Have you done it before?

Oh dear 😳

L3 D1 done.
OMFG! If you don't hear from me again, blame Jillian 😈

I’m starting tomorrow! Dreading it! 🤣

Everyone is doing really well 👏

It is really helping me have accountability too. I’ve not told anyone in the real world I’m doing this so thanks for being there.
Level 1 day 7 completed!

Well done to everyone getting started and making progress.

I did L1 D2 yesterday.

I run 3 times a week (between 4-7kms) so I think I will do the 30 shred on the days I don’t run and take Sundays off.

My plan is:
August - L1 3/wk
September - L2 3/wk
October - L3 3/wk
After that I will see where I am and set new goals.
(sharing for accountability)

That's loads! Well done

Thanks @IDareSay

I've just done l2 d2. Back on it! The pics helped my motivation

L2 D8 completed. Today my willpower was saying do it, and my body was saying I’ve got a sore back and my knee is doing funny things - but willpower won the day!

Oddly (for me) now that my cardio has improved from all those jumping jacks, I’m thinking tentatively about starting c2 5k again. I’ve not been running since 2014 and only once managed a Parkrun!!! DP doesn’t know what’s come over me 😀

Here it is:

It is interesting, will go find the thread.
Basically a kilo of muscle will take up quite a bit less space than a kilo of fat, so you would be smaller yet can weigh the same.
I haven't lost a lot of weight but I am definitely smaller, the tape measure proves it (as do my clothes).

L2 D10 done! 💪

On to level 3 tomorrow; I have resisted the urge to watch it and see what's in store...😳

I’ve just been reading that thread @FloofyBird and it is interesting. Did my measurements this morning and I have lost a total of 7 inches so far which I’m really pleased about. And I’m less wobbly, particularly my upper arms and thighs.

I don't know how to link on the app but there's an Aibu post about a dexa scan atm and someone's posted a link on there to an article where people weigh the same but look very different due to strength training which is very interesting.

I find it's better to take measurements. I weighed 12st on tues and today I'm 12.7 as my weight fluctuates so much. But I'm definitely losing inches

L2 D9 done here as well so will also plan to finish level 2 tomorrow.

I don’t seem to have lost much weight, possibly around 4lb, but have noticed a definite difference in my shape. I tried a pair of trousers on earlier that I couldn’t do up a few weeks ago and to my surprise they fitted. Think I need to tighten up on my diet as well now and stop eating junk for a bit!
