30 Day Shred... anyone want to join me?

[toastedbeagle]

I started in Feb and managed 25 days or so but got a stinking cold and my whole health kick went down the drain. Think 8lbs heavier now

I started yesterday with Day 1 Level 1 and determined to keep up with it.

I've also started playing tennis again and I'm determined that by my hols in 7 weeks I will be fitting back in my size 12 clothes.

Anyone want to join in with some daily motivation?

L3 D7 done.

Can I join? I'm on L1 Day 4 of the Shred. I've done it before but have really fallen off the exercise wagon in the last six months, so I needed to start again and get my act together.

Hi Nefret!
Level 3 D8
I need to think about what I will do when I have finished....

Hi Nefret

L1D7 completed.

My DVD finally arrived just as I was about to give up. So now I can see everything properly for the first time. Those girls do keep a very straight face, don't they. I wonder if it is botox.

The only bit I really struggle with now is the bastard bicycle crunches at the end. Have purchased 1.5kg weights.

L1 D5 done. It's the first strength circuit that gets to me: my upper body has got really weedy since I last Shredded. I can just about do one full set of proper push-ups, but I have to go onto my knees for the second set.

clearsomespace, Ripped in 30 is a good one to move on to. Basically the same format as the Shred, though very slightly longer. (Not very much longer: L1 of the Shred is 27 minutes according to my DVD player!). Some of it significantly more evil, though!

L1 D6 done. I'm going to have the weekend off the Shred but may do one of JM's yoga DVDs tomorrow.

I spoke too soon - have injured my knee. Probably have poor form.

Had yesterday off and did L1D8 today. But couldn't finish the cardio as it hurt too much. Think I'll need a couple of days to recover. Then we are off on trip which involves lots of bush/forest and beach walking so I need to be better.

On my day off I did a couple of the 5 min sessions on the app so will do those instead.

Still haven't lost a single pound.

Oh that's a bummer toothfairy. I hope you recover soon.
Level 3 day 9.
I do have Ripped in 30. Did it a few years back. It certainly is evil. I don't think I can manage this pace (30 mins every morning every weekday) long term. Perhaps I'll do it every other day....
I definitely need to set myself an objective otherwise I won't do anything.

Hi everyone!

I had a really bad week last week and only managed one session Hoping to get back on it today.

somme you're nearly finished - good work!

Level 3 Day 10.
I've finished

L1 D7 done. I had three days off the Shred, which I didn't intend, but did at least manage Yoga Meltdown L1 on Saturday.

Well done clearsomme!

I did Ripped Level 2 today. 2 minutes of cardio in plank! Ouch!

Yes, that plank cardio circuit is the pits. I'll really know I'm fit if I can ever do that without stopping.

L1D8 done here.

Ripped L2 again. I'm going to try to do each level 10 times but starting on L2. Maybe by the 10th time I'll manage the plank cardio!

Hi

Is anyone about to start this? I've tried it before but not completed it. I'm trying to motivate myself to start it tomorrow - I'm really unfit and have put lots of weight on and hoping this will give me a jumpstart. How do you motivate yourself to do it when you really don't feel like it? I give up way to easily! Anyone found this has really helped with weight loss?
