There are 30 days in June. Who wants to do the 30 day shred every day this month?

[TattyDevine]

Right, ladies its that time of year one has to get shredded. There are holidays, there are barbecues, there are weddings to attend. One has to look good, and one has to undo any overindulgence of attending said events.

So I will be doing the 30 day shred every day in June, unless extraneous circumstances prevent me, these being:

Loss of life or loss of limb;
Illness involving either puking or high temperature;
Velcro-baby (i.e sick child keeping one up all night or similar shenanigans)

Any other excuses will not be tolerated.

Is anyone else in? You must check in daily to say you've done it and you may post your weight loss or inch loss weekly if you feel inclined. Plus wax lyrical about how shredded you feel and how hard your bottom is and how you can't really lift your arm very well or it shakes like a leaf but it doesn't matter because you can fit into your least mumsy swimsuit.

See you tomorrow!

Day 4 done today, at 6am yikes! Going to try to keep it up all week, day off tomorrow so can do it at my leisure. have to think of a reward for myself on day 31 - shopping methinks!!

I'm done too. It's so motivating, knowing that so many others are doing it, and not wanting to get left behind

itsa can't think past day 31 at the moment.

Shredded! It's day 4 for me, feeling good about it. Gets a bit late but it's worth it!

Day 6 done. I watched level 2 last night just before going to bed, to psyche myself up for when I switch over. I'm still laughing hysterically at the thoughts of it.

I am done. It is still hurting though on day 4 so may have to stay on level one for quite a while!
Still, I feel better, even if my 'pooch' is still very substantial!

Just done day 3 so a bit behind - but it is feeling more manageable already. Have to confess I have tiny weights at the moment - going to upgrade tomorrow to (whispers) 1kg

Day 11 and I'm up to level 2!! Not nearly as bad as I was expecting. The same old problem for me - absolutely no co ordination.

I noticed Natalie and Jillian very cosy, Anita practically frozen out! Jillian couldn't keep her hands off Natalie!!

Just done day 7 level 2. Shifted up to 1.5 kg weights for the first two sections but decided I would indeed be gargling my heart if I tried for circuit 3.

day 6 done

Right, I don't want to do it. But I am going to. I have told myself I can't have my lunch until I have shredded and i am starving so that should make me shift my arse.

Glad lack of coordination isn't just me......

L1, day 7 done. But I'm finding it much tougher to complete. Really struggled with the press ups today. Is anyone else finding it harder? I definitely only phoned in bits of my shred today.

Tang, I found it hard today today but yesterday I found it OK. It just seems to go like that.

For those of you on Level 2, what is it like?

Oh never thought of watching L2 to see what it would be like !

Going to do day 5 after dd2 has finished watching her dvd. I've just realised my weights are actually 2.5lbs NOT 2.5kgs , there's no hope for me really .

I'm def finding it a bit easier but I need to warm up very very well and then I have no pain or stiffness the next day. Still can't manage full press ups tho', might try using the footstool instead of the floor and work down from there.

Well done everyone for keeping at it!

Day 4 done, it wasn't bad at all. Going to do 3 more days at this level then on up to level 2. :)

I love the fact that it is only 20 mins. Any longer and it would get tedious - as it is, I can see why it's been so successful with people.

Day 7 done, really flying through it at this stage.

heymammy, gwan and watch level 2, if nothing else it'll give you a good laugh. The fear has left me now

I'm a bit behind, I was away for weekend so didn't do, but back on track today..well still to do it, but I will. Kids were around my ankles this morning and I tried to put it on but didn't get past warm up without tantrums. I'm still using tins of beans for weights! What are the best ones to buy?

I bought these. I use the light pink baby weights for those evil side lunges and the boxing. The middle weights for the forward lunge arm exercises and the heaviest for the dumbell rows and the arm exercise flat on my back.

I got an adjustable chrome dumbell by Reebok - I find it good because you change the increments as you progress and it takes up only the same amnt of storage space as one dumbell. Also, I find the sets start too low often and therefore one of the pairs of dumbells is always useless. Some of the sets are cheaper though...

I tried Level 2 for the first time today.
Oh. My. God.

I only managed to do Anita's easy version. I can't imagine the day I can do the advanced version

Though it made me grin evilly to see Natalie struggling too.

I've got the set LouMou has. I used the 1 kg (middle) ones from the start and just stepped up today to the 1.5 kg ones for the first two circuits of level 2. i stuck to the 1 kg ones for the military presses or whatever those evil things are called.

Day 7 done. Stepped it up to level 2 - you think it's gonna be easy, think again buddy

Cor...just done day 5 (day 3 on level 2) and it was actually easier! (never thought i'd say that), I even had a go at some of Natalie's moves. DDs interpretation of some of the exercises kept me going. Had to increase my weights from 2 to 15kgs on the skaters tho (blimmin kids!!!)

Have ordered the 6 week 6 pack for day 31...that takes me up to my hols, If I haven't got rid of the pooch by then i shall be most

Day 8 done. Thinking about going to Level 2 tomorrow but I think I'll miss bits of Level 1. I like skipping. I like to think I'm in late 80s Brooklyn with two ropes whipping around me and Grandmaster Flash on a beatbox. And I now really like bicycle crunches, after being destroyed by them on day 1.

Anyone else doing it with two cans in each hand?
