Managed 8 days about a year and I really did start to feel/notice a change in muscle tone and had comments. After this planning the 6 pack in 6 week so also would like to hear about that :)

Hi rusmum, I'll de-lurk! Have been following this thread every day as I started shredding on 1st April. Going to Ibiza on 16th May and need to tone up and lose a few pounds.

So day 8 done...only using 1kg weights and really struggle with the cycling sit ups at the end....but everything else seems to be getting easier.

Trying to eat 1000-1200 cals per day and walk every day.

Must admit, I do feel better - hoping to look better too by day 30...(roll on 30th April!!)

rusmum · 08/04/2013 21:21

OP posts:
lavendersgreen · 09/04/2013 14:34

I haven't had any rest days yet...just finished day 9 and am starting to worry about what level 2 is going to bring.

Weighed myself and have put ON a pound!! What??!! Would I be kidding myself to claim it's muscle??

Mmmm, will keep on going and see what happens....

Makingmama · 09/04/2013 15:00

Ha yes I've just had 2 rest days after day 1! Due to my muscles aching SO much! Will do day 2 later today and caryy on daily from there. Have just bought some 1.5kg weights to use.

Ladies i've been shredding for a few weeks, i'm at level two session 8. It has made a big difference. I have lost several inches. My waist has seen the biggest loss.

It's free on u tube if you can use your laptop, lots of her dvd's are on u tube, 6 week six pack for whoever mentioned it.

I'm going to try shred level three alongside 6w6pack. I'm needing to fit into a bikini! :-)

rusmum · 09/04/2013 20:01

lavendersgreen · 10/04/2013 15:14

I'm also going to start level 2 tomorrow - strangely looking forward to the change but worried it will be too hard and I'll get fed up!

Will report back in the morning when I've given it a go.

Hello!

I've been shredding too, I've just done day 4 L2. It's V hard, I struggle with the strength bit of circuit 3... My arms kill!!!

Think I am starting to notice a change, better upper body strength, arms more defined. Just want a toned bum and tum now!!!

Onwards and upwards!

lavendersgreen · 12/04/2013 16:28

Ok so day 2 L2 done...have to agree with notnow, my arms definitley look more toned. I can feel in my abs that they've had a work out - they just don't look that great yet!

Glad this thread is here, it's helping to keep me motivated xx
