Anyone want to join me?
Yes I know it’s an oldie but I did it about 15 years ago and it was really effective.
I’ve just done day one and the weights and abs stuff weren’t too bad but the cardio nearly killed me, I’m more unfit than I realised.

Well done! You’re doing brilliantly. Hope the plastering goes well tomorrow and they don’t mess with the exercising.

Day 2/30 completed - 30DS L3.
2 mile walk in the gorgeous sunshine

Got to keep up with this all through November. Target is to have done 30 days of exercise straight. I feel like I’ve fallen off the wagon and I want to be on it again. I always feel so much better when I’ve done it as well.

Day 27 of Body Revolution done, (cardio session 1), and that's the last time for that part.

Week 4 now completed,* not planning on a rest day tomorrow (though that may change depending on how disruptive to my routine having the plasterers in is!), so I'm calling it 28/90 *days.

Two brand new strength sessions to get the hang of next week, and a new cardio routine. Expecting it to be pretty challenging 😱

Ive been away over half term on a last minute holiday. Much needed as work is hard going at the moment and about to get worse next half term. Have walked miles every day and had lots and lots of fresh air, so that sounds as exercise but no shredding.

I got back yesterday and did a 30DS. I’ve really missed it. No idea what day I’m up to, so might just say I’m starting again. At least it being the 1st of the month it will be easier to track.

@IDareSay and @Katrinawaves you are doing brilliantly. Love the article too - I’ve got no excuse not to do things!

Day 26 of Body Revolution done, (strength session 4), and that's the last time for that part.
Now almost completed Week 4, just cardio to do tomorrow, 26/90 days.

Day 25 of Body Revolution done, (strength session 3), and that's the last time for that part.

Now in the last half of Week 4, 25/90 days.

IDareSay · 30/10/2025 12:28

Day 23 of Body Revolution done, strength session 4, and then because I felt like a bit of a challenge I did Day 24 cardio just to see if I could 😂
And I did!

So that brings me to halfway through Week 4, 24/90 days.

Katrinawaves · 29/10/2025 16:37

Day 17 done today but I have also been doing 16:8 fasting over the last few days and this one was towards the end of my fast period which was a mistake!

Have now eaten and am on my way to a reformer Pilates class

IDareSay · 29/10/2025 12:53

Day 22 of Body revolution done, didn't bother with a rest day so this is the start of Week 4, 22/90 days.

Had a disturbed night's sleep so I was a bit tired this morning. Not my prettiest effort but it got done 💪

IDareSay · 28/10/2025 11:48

Day 20 of Body Revolution done, month 1 cardio session again. That's week 3 complete and 21/90 days including tomorrow's rest day.

I might not bother with a rest day and just carry on to day 22. I'm not carrying any injuries and felt a bit antsy on my last rest day!

IDareSay · 27/10/2025 12:26

Day 19 of Body Revolution done, another repeat of second strength session. 19/90 days. Coming up to 3 weeks completed. (I started this programme on a Thursday which confuses me so posting it here to remind myself!)

Managed all the tricky compound moves, albeit quite slowly, including the one I couldn't do at all the first time.

Good old cardio tomorrow 💓

Katrinawaves · 26/10/2025 16:31

Day 16 and 8th day of Level 2 and I’ve finally managed the plank thrusts and plank jacks! Also did an advanced reformer Pilates class this morning so I’m feeling virtuous.

Wow! Well done, they are killer moves 💪

Day 18 of Body Revolution done, 18/90 days, and my second go at this routine.

Did better today. DH just pointed out that I've sweated through my grey workout clothes today; so sexy 😅😅

Shower then poached eggs on sourdough; might be able to face the world after that!

IDareSay · 25/10/2025 15:36

The cardio session did not feel like an old friend! 😆

Day 17 of Body Revolution done, 17/90 days. Back to strength tomorrow.

You are on the home straight now @Katrinawaves 💪

Katrinawaves · 25/10/2025 12:26

Day 15 done and dusted. Half way through now so will pile on and get this done.

Katrinawaves · 24/10/2025 19:38

This week has been a bit hit and miss (although I have managed both my reformer Pilates sessions so not terrible) and I have just finished Day 14.

Am now going to try to power through and do the last 16 days continuously. I’ve done 6 days of Level 2 and am finding that much easier now though I still can’t manage the advance versions of the plank thrusts or plank jumps!

I’m starting to think about what comes next and contemplating surfacing an old Tracy Anderson download next.

Interestingly after 14 days of Jillian I have seen no weight loss at all though some improved muscle definition and some previously snug skirts fit better.

IDareSay · 24/10/2025 16:59

Day 16 of Body Revolution done, another new strength session. 16/90 days.

Again, some pretty tricky compound moves, including one I couldn't do at all so that's something I need to work on!

Usual cardio session tomorrow will feel like an old friend after these two days 😆

IDareSay · 23/10/2025 12:52

Day 15 of Body Revolution done, a new strength session. 15/90 days.

Good grief, that kicked my arse! 😱Some pretty tricky compound moves, really challenging my balance and flexibility.

Another new strength session tomorrow, and then they are repeated for 2 weeks.

Happyhettie · 21/10/2025 16:46

Day 22/30 completed - Level 2 of 30DS

I know what you mean @IDareSay about being a Jillian Junkie. It’s made me feel so much better since I started in July and I do miss it when I can’t do it. This is the longest I’ve kept an exercise regime going for as well. Need to keep it up!

IDareSay · 21/10/2025 11:38

Day 13 of Body Revolution done, a repeat of the Month 1 cardio session, and that's 2 weeks completed after tomorrow's rest day. 14/90 days.

I did miss my workout on the last rest day; I think I'm a Jillian Junkie!

Happyhettie · 20/10/2025 13:52

Day 21/30 30DS L1 completed.
Cant complete it by half term as I’ve only got 4 days. New target… finish in half term and start Ripped in 30 on cr 1st November.

edited because it’s actually day 21 / 30

IDareSay · 20/10/2025 12:33

Day 12 of Body Revolution done, a repeat of Day 2 strength day, and 12/90 days.

Cardio tomorrow then onto the new strength programme (I have peeked, it looks scary! 😱)

IDareSay · 19/10/2025 11:45

Day 11 of Body Revolution done, a repeat of Day 1 strength day, and 11/90 days.

One more repeat Day 2 strength programme tomorrow and then the programme changes (but the cardio session is the same for 4 weeks).

Katrinawaves · 18/10/2025 17:06

Back on it and Day 13 completed along with a 1 hour Pilates class. I’m due to donate blood tomorrow at 8.30am so I think I will need to get up super early to do tomorrow’s as I’m not sure I’ll be feeling up for it afterwards!

IDareSay · 18/10/2025 12:22

Day 10 of Body Revolution done, a repeat cardio day, and 10/90 days.
Feeling the effects of the heavier weights today so glad I pushed myself.
