Jillian for July - it may be hot but that's not going to stop us!

[ImogenQuy]

Slight delay in creating a July thread - here it is.

Body Rev phase 3 week 12 workout 11 done. One more workout to go and I've finished Body Rev. Today was a bit half-arsed, sadly - it was just too hot to work really hard.

Killer Body core workout done. I'm too uncoordinated for this one: the third circuit just has me flailing around trying to keep up.

Welcome back, UnalignedAnt! I haven't tried Hard Body. What's it like?

Oubliette, hope you managed to go out for dinner!

I only got to L1D7 as this week was really busy but I'm planning to start again tomorrow and still finish the 30 day shred before the end of August.

Hi all
is anyone doing 6 week 6 pack? I thought 30ds was bad but wowzers it's tough!!

[HarryLimeFoxtrot]

I'm doing 6W6P intermittently Mamma - I agree it is tough.

That said, today I didn't do that particular work out. Instead I did 30DS L2D5 and Ri30 L1D5.

I'm having a rest day tomorrow. I've done enough Jillian for one week!

[scattered]

Yes I alternate jillian and davina and tried 6w6p Level 2- jeez, I ached for three days. Won't be trying that one again for a while!

[MsRaspberryJam]

I thought I would try something a bit easier today and do level two of the Shred.

Oh my god - it wasn't easy at all!! Respect to you ladies who are still Shredding. I forgot about the V raises, and the plank jumps and jacks, and those damn plank twists at the end.

I had the shakes afterwards!

[OublietteBravo]

Ow - my abs hurt!

This morning's session was:
30DS L2D6
30DS L3D1
6W6P L1D5

I'm hoping to complete my second run through of 30DS before I go on holiday on 18 Aug, so I'm going to need to keep doubling up...

[mmack]

L1D8 of the shred. I'm very impressed by the triple session.

DD has decided that as I look like a saggy marshmallow when I sit down (thanks DD ), I need to Shred every day for the rest of the month, at which point I'll get a treat god knows what that's likely to be.

So 30DS L1D1 done first thing this morning, smiley face on the calendar to show I've done it . I've never made it past L1 before, not have I moved past following Anita, but I'm hopeful that by September I'll be less marshmallow and more something else .

[UnalignedAnt]

Hard Body again today - third time this week (woo!).

I like it, Imogen - there're six circuits you complete twice overall, so the whole thing lasts around 45 minutes. The exercises are tough; suicides, surrenders, burpees with weights, walking press ups with mountain climbers...I sweat rivers. I don't find it as repetitive as 30DS and look forward to it, weirdly enough. Oh and there's two levels - I'll be staying on L1 until I master a proper press up!

Hello. New to this thread, hope it's ok to join.

DD is now 9 months old and I've lost 3.8 of the 4(!!) stone I put on. I look a bit of a saggy mess and have the last few pounds to drop.

I dug out a 30 day shred DVD I had sitting around yesterday and I've set myself the challenge of completing it in August never having done it before. Nowhere on the DVD does it say what to do with the levels! I've started with L1 as that's about my max at the mo though.

Did day 1 yesterday and Day 2 today. Thought I'd post here to try and motivate myself. I'm a harvest widow at the moment so the only chance I get is when the kids are in bed.

Very impressed with some people on here doing 45 min Jillian workouts, I think that would kill me!

[ImogenQuy]

Welcome, Silvertap, and good luck. The first three days are the worst...

I've just started an August thread for us all here. I've also pledged to have a crack at the One Week Shred while I'm on holiday this week - I may be completely insane! I might take a leaf out of Oubliette's book and do the workouts back to back: the DVD assumes you'll do strength in the morning and cardio in the evening, but I don't think I can be bothered with showering twice.

Thanks for the info, UnalignedAnt. 45 minutes is too long for me when I'm working- 35 is my limit, and that's sometimes a bit tight - but I might get it for holidays.
