30-day shred in January

[juneau]

Anyone want to join me?

no it wasn't the dvd
Yes neithershredded

Oh bollocks, i'll start tomorrow...

Well done Festive it was my abuse that made her do it

I ordered a pair of hand weights which arrived today. Only problem is, they weren't a pair. It was only ONE.
So, now need to spend another £11 to get another and can't do it yet because I'm also on the NSD thread and don't want to spend any money until Saturday. So BOLLOCKS.

Waiting to get older DC to bed, then planning on doing day 3, level 1.
Please, someone tell me that its going to get easier, soon?

Just done day 3 level 1. Fear I am sailing a bit too close to Jillian's "phoning it in" in places.....

Not really HURTING as such, it's just all such hard work!

Still, it is done for today, off to eat virtuous protein heavy meal now (steak 'n salad)....

WiseKneeHair, not sure it is getting any easier though.... , THOUGH, am wondering whether I can feel my friendly belly that has for a while now had a life of its own, moving slightly less of its own accord.....

(frantically optimistic)

Day3 done.
I DO think it was slightly easier as I don't feel sick afterwards
Orangina I have too much fat for it to have stopped wobbling yet.

WiseKnee - the same thing happened to me when I ordered handweights.

WiseKneeHair.... oh it hasn't STOPPED, just possibly marginally minimised.....

OK - I'm admitting defeat for today and going to bed! The 2 large glasses of wine havn't helped

I'll do double tomorrow, promise!

Was thinking of ordering this alreat have 30 day shred, but thought this migt give me some variety. Anyone used the other DVDs?

ninjngle - I also have 6 week 6 pack and yoga meltdown (I'm not sure if the latter is available in the UK).

I am definitely aching less this morning, so either I'm not pushing myself hard enough or I'm getting fitter.
neither I'm glad I'm not the only one
orangina but less is good, mine has still got a life of its own
ninjingle I was looking at her other DVDs yesterday. I fancied the six week six pack (as if!). However, the reviews were saying that it was a step up from level 3 of the shred, so I think I better finish the last 27 days of the shred first and see if I finish it survive first.

Day 2 done last night sore today, from memory by day 5 I was ok.

I haven't done much exercise ever but I did the Shred, went back to level 1 and it was so easy.

DP is also doing it and he is aching too and he's much fitter than me.

Just checking in, did Day 3 last night which was fine and felt easier than the first 2 days. But this morning.. oh my! I really ache. Have come upstairs to used the PC and may need to stay here for quite some time before I can manage to walk back down .

I really ache today. All down the backs of my legs especially.

just managed day 1, although couldn't do all of the first cardio section. My wobbly bits hurt when I jump up and down . Thankfully everyone else has gone out this morning, so I have space and a mocking-free zone to recover .

I meant to say yesterday I managed 5 whole proper press ups
Todays target is six

Just done day 1. I did already start in December, but had to stop as I was ill.

Didn't feel too bad, the cardio is the worst bit for me.

Going out to buy some proper weights now! The tin cans of tomatoes just aren't doing it for me!

Hello....huffing and puffing furiously...
Wait for me...can I join in please? Know I'm a bit late but promise to put extra days in in Feb?!
Right off to blow dust off dvd.

Day 6 done. Not very well though - I was bored with level 1 and decided to have a go at level 2 and couldn't managed half the exercises.

After that I think I deserve a takeaway - no wine for me though as I am having an alcohol free January.

Ishallwearmidnight I find my boobs hurt loads in the cardio sections - I need a decent restraining bra,

Day 4 done and a 25minute jog before. The lunges are getting easier it's just the ab work that kills me. My 18month dd doesn't help as she likes to sit on me when I do the ab crunches

I turned the tv down tonight and turned up the iPod, found it much better than listening to her.

Good luck ladies with the weekend

Day 4 of level 1 done. Starting to feel the slightest bit easier.

Festive - I haven't tried full press ups yet, I think I could probably manage a few but then collapse in a heap and not be able to use my arms for the rest of the workout.

BlingBubles - my two-year-old wasn't helping me much at that point either, said 'not sleepy mummy?' and tried to put her head down on my chest

Sorry, bubbles not bubles, you're not a collection of flashy crooners :)

or this one

Maybe I should actually go and do some exercise rather than procrastinating and looking up other exercise DVDs!

So, Ninjingle, have you done double today or are you just looking at more DVDs?
Must admit, I prefer browsing Amazon than shredding.
However, hardly aching now, so going to do day 4, level 1 in about an hour when I've digested dinner.
Well done those who are doing proper press ups, I've not even attempted any yet. Maybe I will tonight, there again...

I was feeling bored of shred today so put on music and kind of made up my own workout. Its probably done sod all but at least I did something. I might try level two tomorrow for a change
