30 Day Shred for Lent (9th March - 8th April)

elainio

Right guys here is the first table. I will be updating the table after I have completed 10 days which will be the 18th of March so make sure you guys update your progress by then so we can see how well we do in the first third of the Shred.

This is the first image I have put up so I hope it works!



I comepleted day 3 this morning and my shoulders were really burning during the Strength sections. Also I really hate the way Jilliam says "VEEEEEERY NIIIIIIIICE" during the second strength section. I think I'll need to mute her soon!

Good luck for today guys and great work so far!

I won't be doing shred tonight,just got home so late, and I am worried if I do I wont be able to move at all tomorrow.
hopefully can try tomorrow evening

Oof! I cannot do pushups for the life of me! I can only move a couple of inches without collapsing on my mat! Haha, hope I get better as time goes on. Also, I'm quite inflexible, so I can barely do the stretches at the end :x Level two looks impossible, but I'll see how I do once we get to that point!

Although the workout itself is hard, I really do feel good once it's over.

I have done a Shred today!!!! I think I'm getting better at the cardio. With the strength, I have - foolishly - used 2lb weights. They are a killer for me!!!!!! But I shall be the boss of them... Oh yes!!!!!

Left it 'til pretty late to do my Shred! I've done Week 4, Day 1 of my C25K, a walk with my family, a Just Dance 2 session and the Shred!!!!

I'm shattered!!!! Must remember to do my exercise a little earlier in the day!!

The cardio was hard work.

Manged day 4 shred last night, after being out all day, far better than i expected, although according to my hrm I keep going outside my "zone" whilst doing it, not sure what I am supposed to do, when that happens,
although my resting heart rate seems quite good.

tonight is going to be interesting as I'l need to do shred after I get home from zumba class....

think i am using 1.5kg weights

looby1968

Completed day 6 of level 1. I THINK I'm getting better, the first interval of jump rope still kills me, I end up making up my own moves about halfway through!!!!! I can do them in the last interval!!!!

Left it pretty late to do today's shred, but it's done now!

Is anyone else getting some knee pain in their first week? Is it just because I'm out of practice, or should I take easy?

This morning was the first time I really didnt want to do the Shred. Thankfully I just sucked it up and got on with it I hope I am more motivated tomoro as I have to do it at night after 45mins of Step at the gym :S

I can't wait till Friday to do all my measurements again and see the progress I will hopefully have made!

Ohhh and does anyone else have a sore collar bone or have I just slept funny??

Exxx

looby1968

I'm failing at this at the mo! Couldn't do it yesterday because of time restrictions, not doing it today because I had a wheat-fest yesterday and now my stomach is in so much pain:sick: !!!!

Will get to it tomorrow, but I will be moving on to level 2 on Friday!!! I will not be beaten:sad:

I have a sore collar bone and neck (very stiff this morning) but I did a bit of Leslie Sansone - walk at home dvd - and it was better. It's worse again this evening. I just thought I'd slept badly...

Woke up at 5am, with a sore neck, but decided to try and do the 30DS. I managed it but not as well as I have done. I usually do it later in the day when I'm all warmed up!

Didn't help that I hadn't done the Shred for 2 days, either!!!

Level 2 tomorrow!!!

carolinegeorgia

so have done 10 days now, moved up to level 2 a couple of days ago, it's tough, the planks are hard but it's great.

CW - 133lbs
waist - 26 & 1/2"
belly - 31 & 1/2"
hips - 34 & 1/2"
thighs - 22"
upper arms 1- 0 &1/2"

I've missed two days so it's L1D7 today for me,

I did find some of it easier to do today, but weirdly I am getting instant cramp in my left calf as soon as I try and do the jumping jacks?? It didn't happen before so I can't work out what I am doing wrong, it doesn't hurt as much doing the skipping and the butt kicks are no problem.
Still have to be very careful with the ab work as I struggle not to involve my head & neck but I have always had that problem!

jesshall281

I have almost the exact problem, the jumping jacks really hurt my calves, and when i do abs my necks gets really painful, i need to learn to use my ABS not my neck to pull me up.

i really hate the side lunge with weight lift, my arms feel like theyre going to drop off and i just want to throw my dumbells at Jillian!....tomorrow is day 7 for me.....I hope after day 10 i have a change in either my weight or the measurements like the other woman..

Hiya Shredders everyone is doing so fab!

Tomorow is my 10th day so I will be updating my measurements and weight at some point during the day

I plan on making an table of our progress to show how many inches/lbs we have lost in the first 3rd of our Shred. This table will be made and displayed here on Monday so make sure you guys have your progress measurements up before then so you get included

Im stepping then shredding tonight after work :S wish me luck!!

Exxxx

jesshall281

Thanks for waiting for me Monday is day 10 for me, so i'll do it early in the morning so i can give you my measurements in time for the updated table!

elainio

Exxx

looby1968

I'm starting level 2 later today. I haven't done any measuring though, I'll do that tomorrow morning!

Not looking forward to planks!

LouiseXXX

looby1968

Oh for goodness sake!!!!! Level 2!!!!!!! Urgh! It's like going back to last year when I couldn't do Level 1. Those planks are a killer.

But do you know what???? That woman is NOT GOING TO BEAT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Third post in a row!!!!!! I obviously have a very sad life, with nothing to do!!!!

Here in the UK, Comic Relief is on - fundraising for disadvantaged children in the UK and Africa, so I have decided to donate £30, £1 for each day of the shred.

No matter how much that evil woman screams at me that I can do it (even when I feel like throwing something at the telly), it's nothing compared to what some children have to endure.

I am actually doing the same goal secretly myself so reading this is reassuring to have others support on the Lent goal. Count me in.

looby1968

Weight = 186lbs (-.5lb)
Arm = 13" (-25")
Chest = 39.5" (- .5")
Waist = 34.75" (+.75", not sure whether I measured myself correctly!!!!)
Belly = 38.75" (- .25")
Hips = 43" (-1.25")
Thigh = 25.5" (-.5"
Knee = 17" (- .5")

So apart from the waist (who knows. I'm not measuring it again!!!!) I've lost on all my stats. Whoohooo!!!!!

Level 2 should really move some inches... If I ever manage to do it all correctly. The planks are a killer and I do my very best but it's not good!!!!

LouiseXXX

Ooooooh! Just calculated the overall loss... 2.5"

samcee

Wow, this thread is so motivating! Well done people!!

I've been doing this video for four days so far so I can hopefully catch up with everyone! Does anyone do 20mins of level 1 and than 20mins of level 2 straight after?

My measurements:

Weight: 127 lbs
Waist: 29"
Hips: 37"
Thigh: 21"
Upper arm: 10.5"

Level 1 and level 2, one after the other???? Not on your nelly!!!!!! I'm only just starting level 2 and can't think of a time I'll be able to complete it without wanting to hurl something heavy at Jillian Michaels!!!!
