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....

[NachoAddict]

Day four was hard to do but I feel less sore this morning. I have been doing it barefoot so will put my trainers on tonight and see if it makes a difference.

Hope your cold clears off soon but good on you for carrying on!

How are you feeling bullie?

Has the op deserted us?

[CreepyCrawly]

It gets easier Bullie, hope you're not too sore today.

It's mostly flat when I lie down Nacho but it's definitely lifted.

Well done for keeping at it through a cold Tinwe.

I'm just about to start day 8.

[Tinwe]

Haven't Shredded today and won't be doing. Was up all night with babies with colds plus my own cold has left me very achy feverish and nauseous. Plus it's my birthday today

[CreepyCrawly]

I hope you feel better soon Tinwe, and happy birthday.

[BullieMama]

Day 2 done and suprisingly it was slightly easier today, I completed more of it than yesterday so that has to be good, not really coping with butt kicks so I sort of prance like a dancing pony!

Aim is to be able to the whole workout without stopping or gasping to much by day 10!

Happy Birthday Tinwe, hope you all feel better soon

[GoodtoBetter]

I am really crap at the butt kicks and jump rope. It kills my calf muscles. Think i need heavier arm weights tho.
How much exercise do you Jillian does a day?

[Morebiscuitsplease]

Done day 1. Stepped some of the cardio as without sports bra running is v. Uncomfortable. Will try again tmrw with sports bra....hope I don't collapse very very unfit. Really hope it trims my wobbly tum.

[YellowCanary1]

Day 1 done - good god I that was tough!!!

[NachoAddict]

Good, I wondered that too.

I have joined a group on fb called 30day shredders and there are some amazing before and after pics!

Hello yellow and more, you'll be sore tomorrow but I felt a lot better after day 4!

[VianneFox]

May I please join you all?!

I bought the shred about a year ago and have attempted it a couple of times... I am now determined to start properly! Planning on doing so tonight- will have to be about 9pm so hoping I will actually do it!

[BullieMama]

Whoop whoop, Day 3 done and dusted and it really is getting 'easier'

I still can't do the whole thing all the way through, positives, I find the strength sections with weights the easiest so I actually look forward to that bit! Jumping jacks are challenging, between my lack of co-ordination and chest bobbing about they are hard work but I did complete three sections of JJ's today that's two more than day one so I am on my way to completing the whole workout by the 10th day!

I may make it a 90 day shred by doing each segment for 30 days instead of 10 as I think this may improve my stamina

[Tinwe]

Thanks for the birthday wishes, was a bit of a rubbish day to begin with but improved as it went on. Still feel pretty icky but might try shredding tonight as I'm so worried I'll lose momentum. The fever and broken glass sore throat has gone now, just aches and snuffles.

Well done to all those who've kept ploughing on and welcome to newbies

[GoodtoBetter]

The 90 day shred's a good idea Bullie. I'm on day 6 and have just discovered it's not a 90 day shred, that I'm supposed to start workout 2 on day 11 . Not sure what I thought the 3 workouts were for exactly, but I have been enlightened :(

[NachoAddict]

Hi everyone, I am checking with day 6, did a circuits class this morning too. So not like me all this exercise business!

hi Vianne, hope your shredding while I am writing this, its hard to be motivated last thing but I have to wait for the kids to go to bed too.


Glad its getting better Bullie, day 4 was a turning point for me, I didn't feel sore the next day.

Glad your starting to feel better twine!

hi good, we are day twins, how was day 6 for you?

[pinklady1107]

Hi I'm on day 3 can I join you?

I've lost lots of weight but need to shift more and seeing my best friend in 4 weeks for 1st time in years so panic has set in

[GoodtoBetter]

I pushed myself a bit harder today nacho but don't feel too bad. Scared myself looking at level 2 . Have been doing a 10 min cycle on the way to work and again on the way back. Not much but something. Also done a fast day on my 5:2 diet, which I'd let slip last wk. Don't think I have noticed any changes tho and not lost any weight.

[Tinwe]

I did it! Day 7 despite having the cold! anyone else a day 7 twinnie? Getting nervous now about progressing on day 10 to level 2 as still can't do the full 2 30 second blasts of press ups. It's the only bit I can't do though so feel like I should move on.

[Tinwe]

Well done Pink on your weight loss!

[Tinwe]

Day 8 done... Day 11 and level 2 seems very near

[BullieMama]

Day 4 done not much else to say as I can't quite catch my breath at the moment

[GoodtoBetter]

Day 7 for me this evening. I looked ahead to level 2 last night....

[CreepyCrawly]

Just finished day 10!

Level 2 is terrifying isn't it?! I feel ready to move on, I don't feel like I've done enough after level 1 anymore. But I'm definitely not feeling ready for level 2!

[BullieMama]

I thought I would have a peep at level 2 .

It's definitely going to be a 90 day shred for me, I cannot contemplate those moves by next Wednesday most of it is like a foreign language to me [ grin]

[GrimmaTheNome]

I'm logging into a different shred thread but just saw this one - just thought I'd pop in to say, I did my 11th day, moving on to level 2 today and it didn't seem too bad - I can't do the press-ups in level 1 either but found the walk-out-to-plank thing in level 2 ok.

If I can get through it I bet you can! Do wear trainers though.

[Tinwe]

Well done Creepy and Gimma! Good to know that you can move onto level 2 without "passing" all of level 1!
