30 Day Shred

So impressed with how consistent everyone's being...well done. 👏

Level 2 day 4 just done. I'm missing days out all over the place but doing my best with work, young children and social life etc. Any day I can fit it in, I will.

Level 2, day 4 done.
I don’t do any jumping moves due to my knees so I just do a low impact version of all those. Still feels like I’m getting a good workout 💪

L2 D2 completed. Did Anita’s version of the plank jumps and bicycle crunches for the plank things at the end. I’d like to say it was easier than yesterday but my heart rate is at the same level.

I’m definitely losing inches (ok centimetres) off my arms and legs but my stomach is far too stubborn for change.

L1D4 done.

I have tried to come up with multiple excuses today to not do it but decided to JFDI and stop procrastinating. Feeling very virtuous now (and I'm melting).

L2 D1 done attempted. I was thinking it wasn’t too bad till the plank jump things came into play. My hands were sliding all over the floor (my excuse) and it all went a bit to pot. I need to get a sticky mat for the floor. Managed to do a bit of cardio for the same amount of time so I’m still well out of puff 😮‍💨

Half way through, yay! I actually got up and did it before setting off on hols.
Off on hols for 5 days so no shredding, but hoping to do some own intervals and strength.
It will be nice to have a break from it, but getting back to it on Tuesday will be hard.
My aim is to complete by my son's wedding in August so I dont have time for many rest days!
Enjoy, everyone!

Well that’s a first! I just found myself asking the gym worker for another five minutes so I could vacate at the actual closing time. Unfortunately I mistimed everything today so had only got through circuits one and two before I needed to vacate however as I’d already spent some time in the pub but went to the gym anyway I’m not beating myself up too much about it.

L1D3 done. Doing a little better with the cardio today.

Seems like we're all at around the same stage- day 4 of level 2 today. Can't believe I'm thinking fondly of level 1!
Feeling improvements in waist and shoulders though, and a little stronger and bouncier, but I do not like doing it!
Good luck all!

Good idea haha
You’ve inspired me to get some heavier ones for level 1 and 2 though so thanks ☺️

Oh christ no I won't be doing jumping jacks with them! That'd be a health and safety hazard all round.

Will have to find some lighter weights before level 3 then. 😅

Wow, respect! 😂 I use 3kg, I don’t think I could go heavier in level 3 when we incorporate them in the jumping jacks etc

Level 2 is no joke! I'm impressed you're still doing it whilst staying away in a hotel 👏

You've all made me feel better about having to take little breaks here and there with the 5kg weights.

Level 2 day 3 done. I can't wait for Level 2 to be over tbh. 😩 🙈

Level 2, day 3 done in the hotel gym. Geez it’s really not getting any easier! Telling myself it’s because I’m pushing myself more each time and my form is improving but my goodness I’m pleased it’s only 20 minutes.

L1D2 done. Have the fan set up now which helps.

I'm on 1.5kg weights due to dodgy shoulders.

I’ve missed a couple of days but L1 D7 done. I’m going to do 10 days of each level but with an occasional rest day so it’ll take a bit longer than 30 days.

Level 2 day 1 done.

It wasn’t as bad as I remembered but it might just be that I’m so happy to get 20 minutes peace that’s it’s easy compared to the constant refereeing of sibling fights 🤔
*We’re on week 3 of 7 in the summer holidays 🫠

L1 D10 complete! Level 2 tomorrow or Thursday night just when I was getting used to jumping jacks 😬

You are all stars! 5kg weights are impressive! I use 4kg for the fly chest presses, but I.5, sometimes 2 for the rest for sure.
I have had 2 days off, am not looking forward to this...
At least it's cooler, good luck all!

Following with interest!

I am in awe of your weights! I had to lift that 5kg dumbbell with two hands. I usually use 1.5kg at home but I’ve used cans of chickpeas and beans in the past and still got results so my 500 ml (500g) bottles of water will have to do for now.

@TheHorrorsPersist The room I exercise in is very secluded and we have an 8ft fence so I don’t close the blinds but I do live in fear of some of the local children deciding to pop their heads over. If they see me, they will be scarred for life.

@Gummylump I couldn’t even attempt to do some of the repetitions of exercises with 5kg weights alongside all of the jumping about - I could if they were just standalone and I had time for a rest in between times. I have to use 1.5kg and 2.5kg.

I’m having a rest day today; procrastination got the better of me this morning 🥴

I've been using 5kg weights as that's the lightest we have, and have been finding them too heavy for some exercises, so I was wondering what others were using actually!

I missed 3 days of workouts! 😭 there was just no time over the weekend.

So level 2 day 2 done now after that hiatus, and I so wish I hadn't decided to do this in a heatwave. Wasn't actually aware I could sweat so much.

Level 2 done properly in the hotel gym having swapped out a 5kg dumbbell for two bottles of water instead. 🤣 Not sure what day I’m on now after my five day break but planning on continuing with level 2 until I’m home. I’d actually rather be in the gym than outside, at least there’s air conditioning!

Keep going everyone, we’ll all be shredded in no time!
