L3 day 10 done!!!!

7 lbs lost but didn't do measurements.

Starting ripped tomorrow.

Sleepyhead33 · 17/09/2013 19:20

Really not up for it tonight so logging on here to give me motivation. I can't give in or I know it will be the start of a slippery slope. Right...get off the sofa...

Sleepyhead33 · 17/09/2013 19:22

Bumpotato-Congratulations!!! Just read your post..someone has actually finished it so it must be possible.

Right, have to do it now.

ErrolTheDragon · 17/09/2013 19:24

Oh, its possible, I did it before my hols and am on my second time around.

Sleepyhead33 · 17/09/2013 19:41

Wow! Second time. What have your results been like?

deeplybaffled · 17/09/2013 19:56

I'm slumped on the sofa too, feeling sorry for myself after a dentist trip yesterday. Not sure if shredding would be kill or cure !

L1D5 done and dusted.

Ouch. Still ouch. With a face this colour Angry

niceupthedance · 17/09/2013 21:39

Well done bumpotato!!

Sleepyhead33 · 17/09/2013 22:03

Done. Best part of the DVD tonight was turning it off! Some nights I am really in the mood for it and others...that's why I need a thread like this to check in.

Are you in pain deeplybaffled? I think usually you should rest is if you are unwell/in pain? So have a guilt free night off :)

Is it starting to feel slightly easier now Doris? I bet you're not crawling up/down stairs anymore :)

Bumpotato · 17/09/2013 22:05

I've been known to swear at Jillian, luckily my kids are still in bed when I do my workouts!

ErrolTheDragon · 17/09/2013 22:50

What have your results been like?
I lost about half a stone before, not much since (not too bothered about weight at the moment TBH)... but I feel fitter and stronger and want to stay that way.

deeplybaffled · 17/09/2013 23:27

Not really in pain but just feeling a bit battered and bruised. Probably should have done it, really, but determined to finish it sooner or later...now you are ahead of me, you'll have to let me know if level 3 is any better :)

Ripped, day 1 done. I enjoyed it we'll as much as you can enjoy these things

ErrolTheDragon · 18/09/2013 11:38

L2D10 done. L3 tomorrow.

Bump, how long does ripped take? I'm wondering whether to try something different when I'm done with this round of shred in a couple of weeks time, but don't want something that takes too long. Though maybe I could do a mix of something longer and shred depending how long I wanted that day.

Bumpotato · 18/09/2013 11:41

Ripped is thirty days too. This time it is 4 levels. After level 3 shred, level one ripped feels easy, but I still managed to sweat buckets.

ZingWantsCake · 18/09/2013 11:45

I'm still waiting for fucking amazon to deliver my stuff. I bit has not even been dispatched!

is there going to be an October shredding thread?

I think this boat has sunk, I'll get on the next one...

I'm impressed with all of you btw, keep going!Smile

Bumpotato · 18/09/2013 11:51

zing just start the day it arrives. No point waiting til October

ErrolTheDragon · 18/09/2013 11:52

Bump - sorry, I wasn't clear - I meant how long per day.

zing - L1 is available on youtube (if you've got something you can watch it on while working out). I'm sure there will be an October thread, but there's quite a bit more of sept. to go yet.

DorisShutt · 18/09/2013 12:47

Ripped says it's 3 rounds of the 3,2,1 thing - Amazon details say "DVD INCLUDES: Four 24-Minute Workouts 30-Day Meal Plan" so I think it'll be a 18 minute workout plus warm up and cool down?

Bumpotato · 18/09/2013 13:20

No overall it is around 27 mins like shred.

ErrolTheDragon · 18/09/2013 13:41

OK, a bit longer than shred (which is 18+2 if you don't do extra warm/cool) but not too much. I'll see how you do for a few days and then maybe order it. Thanks!

Boopear · 18/09/2013 13:44

Can I come back? I really really need some kicking on Ripped. I am on Level 2 day 7 and I seem to be getting worse :-(. Tell me that I need to keep going..it is so disheartening!

Bumpotato · 18/09/2013 13:50

Errol, Shred L2 is 27m58s minus 45 seconds for chat at the beginning and end and inclusive of the warm up and cool down.

L1 of ripped is 30m but she babbles for a while at the start.

Bumpotato · 18/09/2013 13:51

Welcome back Boo

ErrolTheDragon · 18/09/2013 14:46

Oh, I'd not watched the clock! OK, that sounds fine then, can ff the babble after the first time (or use it to put on my shoes)
