30 Day Shred

@Saggyoldclothbody thanks for the recommendation for how to press ups - I will have a look at that. I’d like to be strong enough to do press ups.

Well done @PropertyGeek525 for starting, it’s such a good workout.

And v well done @IDareSay seeing results is such a good feeling.

Level 1 day 6 completed. Bit achy today but I did it. Could actually do the bicycle thing at the end for the whole minute 😃

L2 D9 done.
I am quite surprised at myself getting this far! Aiming to finish level 2 tomorrow.

On the subject of bottoms, I have lost 4cm from the measurement parallel to my bellybutton, which is where I carry weight. Not really hips or waist iyswim, the area between, the area that I can feel pads of fat when I stand with my hands on my hips. Noticeably less noticeable!

Oh I miss the 😆 emoji. Here’s to separate arses for everyone ❤️

I have done day 5 of level 1. I’ve still got an arse the size of a Tellytubby’s but whilst this is fast acting, I do need to be a bit patient 😂

😂
In a few months time this thread will be a sea of separate arses! ♥️

L2 D8 just done! Even my balance is improving - slowly! I’m probably a couple of stone overweight which really shows as I’m very short. Must say, I am looking forward to having a separate arse 😆

Thanks! That’s exactly it, I honestly can’t believe the changes I’ve seen after two shreds and yes you’re right you can see them happening day by day. I’m usually a 12, slimish but soft.. had muffin top, wobbly thighs, top back fat, also that bit of fat that joins your bum to your back.. it’s all gone. Now I just have an arse and a separate back 😂 Wish I’d started it decades ago 🙄

Thanks!
I had a few days like that too, but found I didn’t gain as much bloat as I usually do as my metabolism is faster, I bet your body has dealt with it better too ☺️

Wow that’s great @Disturbia81 I’m actually sad now if I don’t get the chance to do my workout which is most unlike me. I think it’s because I can see results even though I’m only halfway through. It’s very motivating.

Well done @disturbia!

I had a good 4 weeks then this week I've only shredded once (only doing 3x a wk anyway) and yesterday I ate a whole vienetta, small bag of Haribo and a McDonald's burger. Oops. Back on it now and will shred again over the w/e.

weight has settled at a 5lb loss and many inches lost so tonight I’m starting another round before my holiday abroad, is it sad that I’m excited 🤣 who is this person..

L2 D7 ✔️

Well done on starting @PropertyGeek525 It’s really hard to start and keep going but it is worth it.

Enjoy the break @Gummylump and look forward to seeing you on your next round😊

L2 D8 done.

Hard work but good to get it done with for the day.

Thanks for starting this thread. I bought the 30 day shred on amazon prime last month and finally got started today. L1 D1 done. ✔️

Thanks for all of the suggestions of other workout routines to try next - I'll check them all out!

Level 3 day 5 done. Hoping to get another in tomorrow before I'm heading off away. Then that's me done for this time round!

I know that my shoulders can take it @IDareSay it’s just my heart and lungs that would have the problem when I’m doing it as part of a compound movement 😀

I saw a video teaching you how to learn to do a proper push-up @Happyhettie starting by doing them against a wall getting a full arm bend in and doing smaller sets till you are doing it with good form, then against the back of the sofa, then on your knees before graduating to a full press up. I’ve not tried it out yet.

L1 D4 done. Cardio felt a bit easier but I’m only doing half jacks as I don’t want to hurt my knees. Nowhere near being able to do a push up either. Natalie is hardcore!

L2 D7 done.

Wasn't sure I would fit it in today as we have had window fitters here, but just squeezed it in before getting dinner on, thank goodness.

Didn't need a rest at all during the cardio today but did need to take a second during the final plank twists; killer!

I'm still on 1.5kg @Saggyoldclothbody and won't be moving up until I'm sure my shoulders can take it; might move up for the bicep stuff on my next go around of the 30 days.

Level 1 day 3 completed 🥳 wasn’t as bad as day 1 and looking forward to it being easier on day 5/6.

L2 D6 done. For the first time I was able to do the double jump rope with both legs off the ground at the same time for a full 30 seconds!

Somebody said upthread that around day 5 to 6 is where it starts to feel easier and I’d agree it does with the cardio for me. I’m still using 1.5kg weights and I don’t think I’ll be moving on from them but wonders may never cease 😀

Just finished! I am now melting...

But L2D6 done and I am on the home straight 💪

Careful with sime of her kettlebell moves, swinging backwards through the legs and hinging in the lower back is a no no.

I can also recommend her Killer Buns and Thighs and Body Revolution and Bodyshred series

Good shout @IDareSay that does look an ideal follow on from the Shred.

Hopefully you’ve finished L2 D6 and are well on your way to being shredded…

I might try 'Jillian Michaels: Shred-It With Weights'

It uses kettlebells which I like and is only £2.99 on Amazon Prime download.

I must also stop procrastinating and go and get on with L2 D6...!

I was going to start it on Monday but we all have a bug. Typical. Thought today would be the day but no.
