30 Day Shred

AMAZING 🤩 @IDareSay you have done so well! How do you feel?
Those rock and roll squats are ridiculous!!

I’ve totally fallen off the wagon. I really need to get back on it. Haven’t gained any weight I don’t think but not lost any more / not any fitter than I was. I don’t honestly know what’s stopping me, I need to get a grip.

Day 63 was a rest day, which I didn't take 63/84
Day 64 done Friday ( strength session 9) 64/84
Day 65 done Saturday (strength session 10) 65/84
Day 66 done Sunday (cardio session 3) 66/84
Day 67 done Monday(last strength session 9) 67/84
Day 68 done yesterday (last strength session 10) 68/84
Day 69 done this morning (cardio session 3) 69/84

Day 70 is a rest day so that's week 10 done and dusted! I am sooooo looking forward to finishing this, it's been tough.

The final two new strength sessions start this week so I'll see what delights Jillian has in store for me in the last 2 weeks of this programme 😁

(Still can't do a rock and roll squat but I may keep trying just for fun!)

Day 61 done yesterday, (strength session 10) 61/84
Day 62 done just now, (cardio session 3), takes me to 62/84 and that's week 9 done and dusted.

I'm doing all the exercises, some with minor modifications, but mostly as Jillian does them, apart from one in session 9 which I currently cannot do at all (rock and roll squats – go from standing, squat and roll onto your back with feet over head and roll back to standing. Working on it...I should be able to do this!)

Like this:

Well I was right about the new ones being even worse; they are 'challenging' to say the least! 😬

Day 57 of Body Revolution done on Saturday, (new strength session 9) 57/84
Day 58 done on Sunday, (new strength session 10) 58/84
Day 59 done yesterday, (new cardio session 3), takes me to 59/84 and...
Day 60 (strength session 9 and it's as evil as I remembered!) done this morning 60/84

I'll finish week 9 on Thursday and that will be 75% of the programme done. Still on course to be done by Christmas 🎄

Burbling away to myself here mostly but it helps me keep track of where I'm at; anyone else still going?

Day 54 done yesterday, (strength session 8). 54/84
Day 55 done this morning, (cardio session 2), takes me to 55/84, not taking a rest day so.....that's it for Week 8, 56/84
All new strength and cardio sessions for week 9 start tomorrow!

Day 50 of Body Revolution done on Sunday, (strength session 7) 50/84
Day 51 done on Monday, (strength session 8). 51/84
Day 52 done yesterday, (cardio session 2), takes me to 52/84 and...
Day 53 (last strength session 7) done this morning 53/84

Quite glad to see the back of strength session 7, it's a killer, but no doubt the next one will be even worse! Almost at the end of week 8 now 😳

Ah yes, Jillian does often remind us to breathe! Agree with you on the feeling cold, and also discovered my bum now feels bony and I need a cushion on my hard chair 😳

Almost halfway there @Happyhettie !

Day 46 of Body Revolution done on Thursday, (strength session 7). 46/84
Day 47 done on Friday, (strength session 8). 47/84
Day 48 done yesterday, (cardio session 2). Takes me to 48/84 and Day 49 is a rest day so that is the end of week 7 for me, 49/84

Once I finish this coffee I am going to start week 8....

I didn’t realise we mere meant to breathe as we did these things 😂

Day 14/30 completed. It’s been so cold this week, exercising has kept me toastier. Although I have found now I’m not so fat, I’m not so warm. It’s definitely made a difference.

Day 45 of Body Revolution done, (cardio session 2). Takes me to 45/84

Dog walk was very chilly indeed!

Day 43 of Body Revolution done yesterday, (strength session 7). Takes me to 43/84

Day 44 of Body Revolution done this morning, (strength session 8). Takes me to 44/84

These two new strength programmes are very challenging as you would expect at over half way through. I spent quite a bit of time wobbling! By the time I get the hang of them it will be time for new ones 😂

Day 41 of Body Revolution done, (cardio session 2). Takes me to 42/84 including the rest day scheduled for tomorrow which I probably won't take, so that's me halfway through.

Sing as I squat @Happyhettie ? I'm usually too busy trying to breathe! Jillian always has something difficult up her sleeve, that's for sure 😅

Day 10/30 completed. Did a cardio dance workout. Bit achy now.

Squat karaoke - the mind is boggling but it does sound like fun. Sing as you squat? 😆

Day 39 of Body Revolution done, (strength session 5) done yesterday. 39/90
Day 40 of Body Revolution done, (strength session 6) done this morning. 40/90

Cardio tomorrow and then new (eek!) strength sessions next week as I head into week 7. I had a look at the first one and it includes something called 'Squat Karaoke'. The mind boggles!! Still, almost halfway! 💪

Day 9/30 completed.
You’re doing brilliantly @IDareSay !
So nice to get out on a dog walk every day. My hike was v lovely and up a very big hill and a great view.
Have managed some 30DS this week inbetween lots of work. Can’t do it daily but I’m keeping at it!

I was just reading around the Body Revolution programme, and when it came out it apparently included a 'kick start' week, which when added to the 12 week exercise programme made the whole thing 90 days.
So in fact the bit I am doing is 84 days in total, 12 weeks of 6 exercise days per week.

Which means I could finish it before Christmas if I stay on schedule. Hmmm...

Day 38 of Body Revolution done, (cardio session 2) done. 38/90

I really was not feeling it today, quite a slog but got there!

Almost at the 6 week mark....

Day 37 of Body Revolution, (strength session 6) done just now. 37/90
Cardio tomorrow.

Didn't manage a session yesterday, just a walk with the dogs, and it really makes a difference to my calories burned!

Day 34 of Body Revolution done, (cardio session 2) done on Sunday. 34/90

No rest day taken (Day 35) so Day 36 of Body Revolution, (strength session 5) done yesterday. 36/90

I may have an enforced rest day today as DH absolutely determined to make progress with painting the hall and stairs so I need to be on dog duty. I'll see how it goes.

Day 33 of Body Revolution done, (strength session 6). 33/90

Hike sounds good @Happyhettie .
I fool myself by thinking I hike every day, though really it's an amble with the two small dogs 😋It is always hilly though.

DH itching to start painting, which is unusual to say the least!

So glad your plastering is all done @IDareSay it always looks so lovely and fresh when it’s done and such a nice colour too.

Body Revolution sounds hard going - you’re doing a grand job!

6/30 days done today. I’ve done a mixture of 30DS and cardio videos. Going for a hike tomorrow so that will be v nice.

Day 32 of Body Revolution, (strength session 5). 32/90

How are you doing @Happyhettie ?

Day 31 of Body Revolution, (cardio session 2). 31/90

One word: burpees 😳

Done. Day 30 of Body Revolution, (strength session 6). 30/90
One third of the way through and that strength session 6 is a tough one, lots of balance needed and I was quite wobbly. Still, I know I will be better at it by the end of this 2 week block. Slightly dreading the new cardio tomorrow!

Plasterers finished very late yesterday, so by the time we took the dogs out (in the dark and rain!) I needed to make and eat dinner, so an enforced day off.

Worth it though for the shiny smooth new walls and ceilings!

Plasterers finished mid-afternoon and they will be back first thing tomorrow. It's looking very good, thanks @Happyhettie
It's the last major job on the house so it's a huge relief to get it started; we started the renovation in 2017 😱

Dogs were impatient so took them out first and then came back and did Day 29 of Body Revolution, (strength session 5). 29/90
Ooh nearly a third of the way through.

Oh crikey, it's a killer! Not very pretty but done. Would have been very easy to not bother today but feeling the endorphin glow now 😍

DH laughing at me this morning because I grumbled about putting on 'normal' clothes rather than my exercise gear! 😁

Plasterers were here before 8am and as the new strength session takes almost 40 minutes there was no way I could fit it in before they got here without getting up at silly'o'clock. I'll probably need to rewind a few bits to check form for the new exercises too, so needed at least an hour plus time to shower and change afterwards (they are doing the stairs and landing so no access to upstairs bathroom; glad we have a downstairs loo!).

No idea what time they will finish today, so I'll have to keep waiting. Looks like I really am a Jillian Junkie...😱
