New Year Shred Bootcamp

[TooImmatureMincePies]

To run concurrently with BIWI's Low Carb Bootcamp - the 30 Day Shred challenge! Come and chat about all things Shred here, and feel free to moan talk about other types of exercise too.

Oh God, now I actually have to do it!

• I also do few minutes of extra stretching in the end, don't think she does enough on dvd.

I did day1 too today - inspired by you (dvd sitting on my shelf since I bought it in the summer). Also combining it with 5:2 and cutting out all chocolate/cakes etc (I am addicted to sugar, and never used to be).

Hope to lose the still pregnant look 8 months after having the baby (am down to pre-baby weight, but stomach still looks 5 months pregnant) and stop my arms flapping when I move them.

It arrived! Wish me luck......

Good luck Katy!!

I failed to do it last night - bad! I will do it tonight, I will, I will! Think might put DD to bed before I have dinner and do it before I eat...unless I get home starving. Hmm.

Day 2. I didn't want to do it but DH shoved me upstairs with the laptop as soon as I got in (DVD hasn't arrived yet). He knows me so well; if I'd sat down I wouldn't get back up.

That woman is cruel. The bicycle things: why? Why? Why at the end?

I'm a bit trembly and my thighs hurt from yesterday. But I'm glad I did it :)

Just done mine.
Just anout to have M and S curry

Meant to ask, is anyone on here on My Fitness Plan? If so, what do you put the Shred down as? I've been saying aerobics so far.

I have not done day 2 yet but 'must shred before bed' so I shall then (though I'm eating curry first mrsrudolph probably not the best idea

I just started with myfitnessplan today. I have managed to meet the 1200 cal target with the help of l1d5 of the shred I think I put it down as circuit training but not sure if that is the best option or not.

Must Shred before bed too, Cafecito! Am aiming to start soon.

Did it! Bloody knackered - today was much harder than Sunday! L1D3 - think will try not to skip a day for the next 4 or so. Stopping and then restarting seems to be hard going. Or it could be that this is day 4 of the low-carb bootcamp and I'm feeling a bit carb-fluey. Who knows?

ouch, did it!

Another "shred before bed" person here, just done day 5 level 1. It is getting a bit easier...it is my calves that are really sore! Agree with the more stretching needed comments.

Hey all, a bit late to the party but I've been thinking about doing this for a few days so thought I'd look for like minded (crazy and sore) people to help motivate me.

I started a diet in October and have lost a stone so far (but put on 3lbs over Christmas), but I'm WOEFULLY unfit so wanted to do something bouncy as well.

I've downloaded the vid, think I'll start tomorrow.....sounds crazy but I'm thinking of getting up early and doing it before anyone gets up. I have a 2 yr old who doesn't nap and I don't think I'll have the energy in the evening.

I've just done mine and am now enjoying porridge.

A question for you shred experts...once I have done the 30 days, is there another dvd to do?

I just shredded while my poorly 2yo watched a postman pat special on the laptop on the sofa - he would usually be running around causing havoc (well, actually we'd usually be out at our outdoor toddler group today) so I took the opportunity. Not sure if that makes me a bad mum or a dedicated exerciser?

I was doing L3 but I have started from the beginning with heavier weights and different bits ache now.

I spotted Natalie having a rest on the static lunges on L1 while Jillian was looking at Anita - so that's how she manages it without breaking a sweat.

I spotted that too beela and at L3, it makes me shake just thinking about it.

Mrsrudolph, I am by no means an expert, but you can either go back to beginning and just use heavier weights, like Beela, or try one of Jillian's other DVDs. She's got some called things like No More Trouble Zones or 6 Week 6 Pack, but I think they're all longer than the Shred. I like knowing that it will all be over in 20 minutes!

The DVD arrived this morning. Although I haven't progressed beyond warm ups yet I have tried to improve my fitness in other ways so wish me luck I start properly tomorrow. And well done to you all, you inspire me.

TooImmature I know what you mean about knowing it will be over in 20 minutes. It seems so much more manageable, although having said that I did find myself shouting "Thankyou Jesus" at the end of my first session!

Am away with work so have failed to do L1D2 so far. Sounds like a good excuse but if I were more dedicated I would be doing it in my hotel room! Have done plenty of walking though. I WILL do it tomorrow night!

Day three. I did it, but I was muttering 'Bitch' at Gillian under my breath, especially when she said she wanted my legs to burn

I was not in the mood for it today but since I had just bought an exercise mat it seemed a bit pathetic not to. So pleased I did it now .Level 1 day 6 over.

Arf at muttering 'Bitch' under your breath, Lucy! Yy, I don't want my legs to burn, thank you very much.

I don't ache as much today (Shredded three times in 4 days; haven't done it today yet but I WILL), although I did give myself a day off high heels too. 2 days running of heels after months and months of not wearing them = v sore feet! I'm going back on them tomorrow, though.
