30 Day Shred - DVD just arrived ... anyone else about to start?!

[Lovethesea]

So, after all I've read, the DVD and the weights have arrived....

Later today I plan to begin.

In 30 days I will be toned, have lost this extra stone, feel awake instead of in need of a nap all the time ... etc etc etc.

Right now just getting through the first one would be a victory! Anyone else desperate and mad enough to be starting this....

[HairyPotter]

Ouch! I can't imagine not wearing trainers, was it not awfully sore on your legs?

L6D6 done. I'm getting very close to actually finishing this thing

[HairyPotter]

L3D7 finished

[smelmafingers]

Away to do L3d5 just now. Falling behind

[HairyPotter]

I think it's just me and you now Smelma

L3D8 done. I think I drank too much water beforehand, the supermans made me want to throw up!

[smelmafingers]

Well, i had a cup of coffee before i worked out the other day. I could here it sloshing about during the mountain climb moves. Nice.

L3D6 done.

Think you get to day 10 over the weekend?

[HairyPotter]

Yes, plenty of sloshing here too although, mountain climb moves?? Have I missed something

L3D9 done! One more to go! and then I'll start all over again

[Tinwe]

Just realised, if we'd all started according to the thread title we'd just be ending week 2 now. Not quite sure how I ended up almost a week ahead! Anyway W3R3 completed, W4 starts on Wed for me.

[Tinwe]

Sorry, wrong thread, anyway, how are you all doing? I had to abandon Shred after 40 days (so I did complete the first 30 day cycle). All the lunges and squats were really hurting my knees. It was a great starting block for fitness though and I moved onto running the C25K which weirdly doesn't hurt my knees at all!

Good luck all you Shredders, you're doing a great job!

[smelmafingers]

Think its just hairypotter and myself. Maybe she's finished!

Just finished L3D7. The end is in sight. [Grin]

Good luck with C25K!

[Tinwe]

Thanks Selma and well done to you for sticking it out! What're you going to go to celebrate?

[Tinwe]

Have you finished today then Hairy?

[HairyPotter]

Hello, yes I finished it yesterday! Woo hoo! I'm now shredded

I still have a long way to go, but doing this and the 5.2 diet means I have lost 9lbs and a dress size in just over 5 weeks. I'm going to go back and start again from the beginning, I'm shall attempt to follow Natalie for at least some of the workout

I have abandoned c25k for the time being but would quite like to give it another go sometime. I'm worried it makes my arthritic hip flare up again with all the pounding. Shred seems easier unbelievably

What are you doing next Smelma?

[smelmafingers]

L3d8 done! May celebrate the final session with more a than is usual

Wow hairypotter thats quite an impressive loss!

I sort of have a target weight, but i'm not too fussed about it. Have a holiday in six weeks time so I want to feel okayish on the beach. that's a good short term goal.

I'm really enjoying the adrenalin rush after a shred session, but really struggling to do it every day - small children who aren't' great sleepers!

Think i may keep shredding a of 3 times a week and follow Natalie. Might get back to 5:2 as well. That'll sort me out!

[Tinwe]

Well done Hairy! Selma, have you finished too, now?

[smelmafingers]

Finished 30 Day Shred. But its taken me six weeks

I really want to do I it every day, but have had quite a mad month. Anyone else still shredding?

[HairyPotter]

I'm still doing it. I try to manage six days out of seven. My plan was to follow Natalie but that went out the window on the first set of push ups!

I finished L1D6 round 2 this afternoon. I still have around 2 stone to shift so I really need to keep at it.

[Tinwe]

Well done Selma for completing and Hairy for keeping going!

[smelmafingers]

L1D1 R2!

Realised its exactly 30 days till my holiday. So i'm on board again.

Failed at the first set of Natalie push ups. Maybe by day 5

hairy do you have set days for fasting? Might join you.

How is c25k going tinwe?
