30 Day Shred

Level 1 day 10 completed! So glad it’s cooler and due to rain up here today 🥵

@Saggyoldclothbody I am also down to pants and bra workout, really hope my blinds on the front room window work! 😂

@Careerdecisions well done doing a workout on holiday 💪 don’t think I’ve ever made it inside a hotel gym 🙈

L1D1 done

I've made a start and actually almost enjoyed it but thank goodness it is raining so I can go and stand in it in the garden!

Oh dear oh dear, I took Tuesday off as I’d had to travel for work, then Wednesday seemed a bit busy too and before I knew it I was well and truly off the wagon and the wagon had rolled far far away so I couldn’t see it anymore. After 5 days off, I’m on holiday and put on a skirt that’s normally quite lose fitting (last year) was a squeeze. I was so disappointed and felt my good progress had been undone. Luckily this hotel has a gym so I have just finished my version of level 2. I had to improvise a bit as the lightest weight they had was one 5kg and I normally use 1.5kg in each hand. Anyway I’m suitably hot and sweaty now (could be something to do with the 35 degree temperatures too) and am feeling much better about myself. Back to it tomorrow and there’s no excuse for not eating well too as the food is fantastic with lots of fresh fruit and veg that I like. I’m treating this as health retreat!

L1D9 complete. The temptation was to skip this because I’m hot/I did it yesterday/DP is at home and might laugh at me doing it in my pants and bra/I’ve got other things to do etc but I’ll always come up with an excuse to not do it, but now I’ve got it over and done with! 😇

Going to do level 1 day 9 as soon as I finish my coffee. It’s definitely harder to motivate myself in this heat 🥵
I seem to remember level 2 is the worst one for me 😬

The heat was awful so you still did ace to even attempt it at all!
I’ve been doing a month shred, then a month off to rest my muscles and let my weight settle at the lower weight, while still doing some stomach crunches and walking. Then repeat

Thanks @Disturbia81 ! What are you doing now, post shredding?
A bit of phoning in yesterday as I tried to get to grips with new moves in level 2, although my body was still a hot, quivering mess!
Good luck today!

Keep going ladies you are rocking it! ♥️💪🏼

another unexpected benefit for me is my disappearing tummy pouch from 3 sections. I thought the only thing that could sort it was surgery, and while it hasn’t completely disappeared, it has really flattened and I can wear tops tucked in now! Think it’s mainly the rocking the legs backwards in the abs section that does it

L1 D8 completed. It’s hot and I’m a sweaty mess and it’s the kind of hot that I’ll be sweating as much after the shower I’m about to have 🥵

I'm exactly the same. 5 ft 2, managed to lose almost a stone, don't need to lose anymore but still have a bit of a squishy tummy, so it is exciting to see my waist beginning to shrink. I can start to love my body again!
Starting level 2 today.
Happy shredding!

This is me too, I feel like I’m slim and can’t lose any more weight through calorie restriction so wanted to see what the shred can do, and it’s been amazing. I’m transforming from wobbly squishy slim to toned slim.

You're similar to me as I'm 5ft and would like to lose 7-10lbs which is very hard as not overweight to begin with and it's just not happening tbh.

Level 2 day 1 today completed after work. I was then starving all evening, and have gone completely off track with food as a result. 🙈

I’m getting on okay, I haven’t been doing it every day and think I’m technically on day 19 but in total I’ve done level 1 and level 2 11 times (in total). I’ve also been for long walks, cycles and done some Pilates. I’m 2lbs down with an inch off the waist. I’m only 5 ft 2 and only want to lose about half a stone so find it hard to shift weight. I’ve been counting calories most days and upping protein overall as well.
2 weeks and 2 days until I go away so I’m hoping for another pound or two to shift.

Completed 10 days of level 1, woop!
Level 2 D1 here I come...

Just had a look at the beginning of the video. I thought that doesn’t look too bad. Then I realised that was the warm up!

L1 D7 done. I’ve upped my weights from 1.5kg to 3kg for some of the exercises and my heart rate went way up! I am the world’s best procrastinator when it comes to starting to exercise (every time - ooh look, I’ve got to put the washing on and deal with that bit of dusting!!) but I definitely feel the endorphin glow afterwards. When I win Euromillions, I’m going to have a personal trainer to make me do something every day 🏋️😀

Day 8 done for me. I'm going to do 8 days of each level to allow for a few days when I haven't got time to do it, so that's level 1 done!

Scared to start level 2, especially with this heat wave coming up. 🙈

Well done everyone. 👏

L1 D9✓ . soooo didn't fancy it, but it is definitely more completeable than I would have believed 9 days ago, and does go by quickly. And I managed JJs!
Pilates class tonight, too.
@FloofyBird , that is fantastic, well done!
Good luck All as we move towards level 2!

L1 D6 completed. Doing it early in the morning before eating took it out of me. I didn’t know whether to be frustrated or relieved that the Brave browser was showing ads during the workout as it gave me a break. I do have the DVD but it’s so long since I tried to use it with our current, very confusing, TV set up that it’s easier to find it online and the Brave browser (thanks to whoever mentioned it upthread) was a godsend.

L1 D5 completed for me, and I managed to do one set of sort-of pushups (like a plank but dropping down a couple of inches, rather than doing a bigger chest movement whilst my knees were on the floor). It’s definitely feeling easier.

Sadly, my waist has not shrunk like floofybird ☹️ but there may be a little bit of definition that I can see when I’m doing the punches.

For fun (????) I put on level 2 whilst I was making dinner to see just how bad its going to be, as I didn’t remember it as being hard. Clearly I was following Anita and not Natalie 😳 😀

Wow, that's incredible @FloofyBird well done you.👏 Imagine the results at the end of the 30 days!

I haven't lost any weight at all but can definitely see a difference in my body. Don't have a tape measure to take measurements though.

Day 7 done here. 🙂

If anyone early on or who hasn't started wants some motivation, I've done 5 shreds in 12 days and my results are:

waist 40.5" to 38"
hips 44.5" to 43.75
thighs 25.5 to 24.5
arms 11 to 11.75
bmi 28.3 to 27.2
fat 37 to 34.9

my weight has dropped by 7lbs but it fluctuates a lot so that may not be totally accurate.

That is what is great about the shred- the brevity! And hopefully the results.
Rest day yesterday with 30 mins of yin yoga.
Hoping to do days 8, 9, 10 back to back ready for level 2.
Good luck all, happy shredding!

Got level 2 day 4 done earlier, watched Wimbledon at the same time to get through it. I find if I commit to doing it everyday then I find it much easier to make myself do it, that and reminding myself it is only 20 minutes.

Yes, I think it caused mine too.
