30 Day Shred

[TheBang]

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.

30 day shred! That's what it's called! I was trying to think of the name just this week!

I want to give it a go again. Nearly killee me when I was younger and fitter so goodness knows how I'll do now :D

Is this Gillian Michaels (or a similar name)? I think I have this.

Ooh can I join? Trying to lose a bit before holiday

How do I do it? I want something for thirty days ish so this sounds perfect!

'I'm hoping you know me'

Those words haunted me!

Good luck!

Bloody loved Gillian “don’t phone it in” Michaels 💕

I’ve found it for free online but there are a couple of ads (to cheat and give me a break in 😆)

It used to be free on YouTube but I think you have to pay now

I love that it’s only 20 minutes too so not too much of a mission to do every day

It’s here
but does have ads

I never thought it possible to have visible abs, but after doing this, I did. If course I then rewarded myself with food and no Jillian, so they were quickly hidden again. Brutal, but effective, even when doing it half arsed like I did.

Yes I went on an all inclusive holiday after completing it last time and never got back into it afterwards! I looked good on the holiday though!

If only it was available online without ads. I still have the dvd!

I also have it on dvd. Too hot to do it just now. I’m far too unfit to do it just now.
I used to know everything she said off by heart.

I too did this about 12 years ago, and looked the best I ever had! I remember treating myself to a gorgeous new bikini, and a lifeguard at the local pool asked where I’d bought in, and that I looked amazing. Never felt prouder in swimwear either before or since!

Def effective, but yes, brutal!
I’d be interested in doing it again, as I have holiday in 4 weeks, and need to lose about half a stone.
theres a YouTube video of a random woman doing the workout, watching the proper Gillian Michaels video on her TV, and you can still hear Gillian’s instructions. Ad free. Just google it, 30 Day Shred day one or something like that…

Just watch your knees. I swear doing this started my knee oesteoarthritus

I'd love to join

That link broke my laptop 😭 It spent ages loading, then froze, then blue-screen. Is there another way to access it?

Can someone tell me, in language an illiterate alien would understand, what is it?

A daily exercise regime and associated eating plan?

@LotusBotusit was a 30 day exercise programme basically. It was tough. I don’t recall there being an eating plan though? I had it on dvd!
if you can’t get 30DS you could try Caroline girvans 30 day programmes, her iron series is definitely free on YouTube. I also once purchased a 30 day programme (unlimited access) to something called Kari Pearce power abs and in 30 days I had actual visible abs showing.

then I stopped and now I’m fat again 😢

I loved Ripped in 30. No jumping jacks.

But Jillian had gone MAGA-mad now and it upsets me.

I have been doing it every other day for like 4 months.... Can't bring myself to move on from level 1 😂. I have increased my hand weights to 2.3kg though.

At one point she says "a couple more" and then she's 7. 7 IS NOT A COUPLE!

I've lost almost 2 stone but think it's diet rather than good ol' Jill! My watch says the 20 minutes burns 145 calories. It's less than a Mr Kipling Bakewell slice.

“Eyes on Natalie”

”bathing suit shopping”

still hear that ringing in my head 🤣it’s brillant was part of me losing 3stone after baby no2. Even got up to doing the squat jumps in L3. Only time in my life I had a half ripped stomach. I’ve been doing Caroline Girvan recently she has some good 20min or short weight sessions.

I’ll join, as others have said you really do notice a difference - even day 15 I could see a difference when I last did it.

The neck is not invited to this party!

I'm sure I've still got this on dvd somewhere...

Level One was my favourite last time, as others have said I knew it off by heart. I think some of the moves in level 2 and 3 confused my uncoordinated brain 😆

Oh sorry, it worked for me. I’ll look up the YouTube one though, would be better without ads.

She’s brutal! I have that one and I train every day but I still go back to it at least twice a year. It works!
