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

343 replies

Lovethesea · 22/06/2013 10:58

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....

Sorry GRimma not Gimma!

Hi everyone, well done to those on level 2! I'm not even peeking at it untill I get there.

Just finished day 7, found it hard going today but I had been to the gym for half an hour before hand.

Hey Goodtoo, my day twin, how did u get on today, have you done it?

CreepyCrawly · 05/07/2013 09:09

Level 2 not that bad?! I'm dying here! Thinking about it though, I thought I was dying after the first day of level1 so it's bound to get better.

Good luck for today everyone!

GoodtoBetter · 05/07/2013 12:43

Hi Nacho yes, did it last night and really pushed myself hard and altho I'm still unfit I feel I can do a lot more than on day 1. haven't decided whether to do a 90 or 30 day shred. might do level2 on mon and see how I go.

GoodtoBetter · 05/07/2013 19:00

I'm having a night off. Meeting a friend later and I've had a dodgy tummy today, had to run for the loo 3 times this morning and feel all gripey and bloated. Will resume tmrw.

Tinwe · 05/07/2013 21:37

Hi Creepy! Well done for moving into level 2. I'm day 10 tomorrow so just behind you. Don't seem to have a day buddy...

Tinwe · 05/07/2013 21:37

Goodto - hope you're feeling better tomorrow and enjoy your night off

GoodtoBetter · 06/07/2013 07:35

Bleurgh. Feeling worse.

Tinwe · 06/07/2013 15:00

Aw... That's rubbish, poor you. Still got the bad tummy?

GoodtoBetter · 06/07/2013 19:41

Yes...the runs this morning and headaches and stomach pain. Feel like I've been hit by a bus. Not helped by 40degree heat and no air con.

Tinwe · 06/07/2013 20:44

Oh no! Although you're not getting fitter you'll be losing weight I suppose...

GoodtoBetter · 06/07/2013 20:45

Doubt it...carbs seem to help so have esten toast, pasta and a sandwich so far.

NachoAddict · 07/07/2013 14:59

Oh no goodto sods law that you would get ill when your doing so well. Hope your fighting fit again soon.

I had Friday off too but did go to the gym so did day 8 yesterday and will be on day 9 today. Dp says he can see a difference already tho he could just be trying to encourage me.

How is everyone getting on with level 2, I've not even peeped yet.

GoodtoBetter · 07/07/2013 18:02

Don't know whether to shred today or not. Feel pants but feel like I might never do it again if I don't get back into it iyswim.

Tinwe · 07/07/2013 20:16

Well, day 11 and did the first session at level 2 today which I'd been looking forward to. Found it v difficult cos've all the planking and the simplified version doesn't really address that problem. Pulled a muscle in my bum too and there's 'another issue' I'm not v happy about but I think I'll stick with it if I can at least for another day and reevaluate Any tips re the planking issue?

Tinwe · 07/07/2013 20:19

Good to - are you on level one? If do maybe give it s go but do the simplified versions and take breathers if you need to. I did that after the worst of my cold had broken. Don't think it made it any worse and I felt better for having done something and not given up as you mentioned. Having said that my cold is still here but I don't think it's the exercise as DD2 has had the same illness and symptoms on the same time scale IYSWIM

Tinwe · 07/07/2013 20:21

Well done Nacho on gym visiting and visible difference! Not sure there's much difference in my silhouette yet but that could be because my muscles are hidden under a generous layer of fat!

NachoAddict · 07/07/2013 20:29

Thanks Tinwe, been back to the gym and shredded today, day 9.

Section 2 might get easier as you go along, I struggled with section 1 to start with. Maybe just plank as much as you can and try to increase it by a second or two each time?

good, how did you get on? I would probably just give it a go and stop if you feel awful. You might surprise yourself.

GoodtoBetter · 07/07/2013 21:12

Nope, didn't do it. But feeling a bit better so i will jump back in the saddle tmrw and resume level 1.

CreepyCrawly · 08/07/2013 10:36

Tinwe, no tips for the planking I'm afraid but they do get a bit easier.

I hope you're feeling better now Goodto

Just finished day 3 of level 2 (missed Saturday). Not much fun in this heat, and I've hurt my knee so some bits were really hard.

Good luck today everyone!

Tinwe · 08/07/2013 20:07

Just done day 12! Level 2. Had to stop midway through the last ab exercise, the plank twist thing. Did a few but my arms just aren't strong enough (especially at the end of that session) so I pauses the video and did 20 push ups and a minute of twist crunches. Do you think that would do as an alternative?

Tinwe · 08/07/2013 20:08

Oooh Creepy! Nearly caught you up!

I agree, very hard in this heat!

Tinwe · 08/07/2013 20:09

Did you get back on Goodto? How are you feeling today?

NachoAddict · 08/07/2013 20:37

I'm giving it a miss tonight, I did Ab Attack class and don't want to over so it. Will carry on with day 10 tomorrow.

Well done to everyone who's still going.
