30 Day Slimdown

Collinsky

Yes Day 2 done!! Hurray! I agree that it feels much easier than it did when I first started! I can only do 5 pushups on my toes though! I am sure that I will improve over the next 30 days....

I'm glad you two joined in! I am looking forward to do the whole 30 days with you ladies!

I don't know Shred It With Weights and of course I am no expert but I think I would go for 6W6P. Only cause it is an all over body toning workout as well and I think it is about the same length?

Which ever one you choose it'll be good!

I am a bit worried about tomorrow...Due to unforeseen circumstances I had to start a job. I am a (mature)student and on my summer break. So I'll start work in a pub tomorrow. I have to do a shift from 12-11.30 (1h break in between) It is a tiring job as you are constantly moving and carrying. I'll exercise before my shift and hoping I won't be too tired for the rest of the day. I'll try to see my shift as extra workout!

Here is to Day 3 ladies! Tomorrow 10% will be done

Day 3 done! I did go with 6W6P. I hadn't tried that workout before, so it was all new.

How is the new job?? Good luck with it! Everything you do gets you fitter. :drinker:

I finished day 29 today! Only one more day to go... can't wait! This program was quite exhausting... but I do feel stronger now. Looking forward to doing more cardio/zumba and shorter strength/circuit training workouts once it's over!

Where'd everyone go? Well I finished my challenge today!! Must say that the NMTZ gets to be a LOT easier - still get a good workout with it but it's not anywhere near impossible. Hope you all are doing well with your workouts!

I am interested in doing the 30 day slimdown. I have the 30 day shred and BFBM and I could buy NMTZ. But what is quick Trouble Zones? Is that just a shorter version of No More Trouble Zones? I can't seem to find info about this anywhere.

I read it was NMTZ with no matwork... so I did circuits 1, 3, and 4 (shoulders, biceps, and triceps)

I'm still here, still going, day 6. But my other DVDs still haven't arrived so I've just been doing BFBM every day! i think I'm probably going to start again when the DVDs arrive as I didn't mind being a few days out but now its basically a week!

One question, on your day off, did you all have a day off exercise or is some other form of exercise ok?

At first I tried taking my off days off... but then I was fidgety and couldn't eat as much! So I usually did zumba or played some just dance on the wii... something lower intensity I also sometimes did this in addition to the 30 day slimdown workouts...

Hi Ladies

I am back!! I am sorry but the last few days I was just so exhausted I didn't even touch my computer! I haven't been doing great!

I was so shattered in the mornings that I could not get up and exercise. I did Day 4 which was the Shred. I can tell you though I am aching all over anyway. As I wanted to get and extra workout I made sure not to stop. I am not sure what to do now. Maybe I should restart my week? I don't think I will go back to the job. I really didn't like it there. I am going away on Wednesday but I am hoping to find something else before....

Glad to see everyone else is still going!

What do you think shall do? Restart or keep going?

So I am dragging today and so happy I am only doing "quick trouble zones" tomorrow is suppose to be a rest day but I think I may just skip to day 8, i'm not good at skipping days it knocks me out of a routine and I find it harder to work out the following day after taking one off.

shoppie

The thing about not eating as much is what's worrying me Tiffany :blushing: :laugh: I might do a long walk or something that's not very intensive but will earn me a couple of hundred cals. Must admit, I am looking forward to a day off BFBM, but mainly cos I'm a bit bored of it after 6 days straight :blushing: That makes me think the 30 DS on its own wouldn't be for me!!

Daisy - sorry you didn't like your job at all. So did you just do day 1 and 4 so far? If so tbh I'd be tempted to restart as tomorrow is a rest day anyway. But if you have only missed say one, I'd do tomorrow as well and then you;d be able to catch up.

A long walk sounds perfect! Yes I usually workout when I get home from work a little after 4... so if I did nothing I would be sitting on the couch, twiddling my thumbs, and getting hungry. So I liked to do some workout to take me to 530 or 6pm and then it's time to start making dinner so I can eat! LOL

BFBM is my least favorite workout - I hate it! LOL I am ok up through circuit 5 and then I just lose all my steam and am super struggling. I can do the high knees in the 30 day shred workouts but after doing other cardio those (the regular high knees and then the standing mountain climbers) just kill! I am impressed you are able to keep doing that workout!

Hello

Hopefully I won't be going back to the job. I have done day 1,2 and 4. I have decided that I will re-do the week. I want to do it properly and feel I haven't now. So a fresh new start for me on Monday! Hopefully your DVD's will arrive soon!

Happy Sunday and rest day everyone...

shoppie

I went on Amazon to check where my DVDs are and discovered I must not have pressed the final 'confirm' as they were still in my basket - ARGH! So i am still stuck with BFBM, but I dutifully did it again tomorrow, and am taking tomorrow as my rest day as I have a big walk planned anyway.

Tiffany - circuit 6 on BFBM (with the jump squats/ skaters/ standing mountain climbers etc) is def the hardest, but tbh, I still can't make it through both circuits of 180s without a pause, nor all the jump squats, or the scissor jump!! I can't believe I still can't actually make it through the thing!!

Daisy -good on you starting again. I'm also back to precisely where I was this time last week - hoping my DVDs appear soon so I cna catch up (bangs head on wall!!)

Daisy80

Oh no! Well it can happen. I am sure you'll have them very soon! Good job on getting your workouts done. I have done BFBM only once and it is a tough one!
I look forward to a fresh start on Monday! My eating wasn't great either! I weigh in on Wednesday I hope I still have lost!

shoppie

Hey daisy, thanks! My eating has been a bit up and down too - the kids have been reallllllly hard work this week (well, I say kids but really I mean DS2!) and the stress has tipped me over the edge into eating stuff I know I shouldn't!

Can I ask, do any of you have an HRM? If not, how do you calculate the workouts? I am using general circuit training, but it comes up as around 500 cals for BFBM which I really think is way too high. Apart from yesterday I have kept my eaing several hundred below target including the exercise, but I don't want to overeat and I still think I could be.

I had an email from Amazon today to say the stuff has shipped, so should hopefully be here Tues or Weds so I should be fine to be working alongside you Daisy!

kalelwifey

I think i like the idea!!

mcofield

I am doing that too! I just finished day 24 this morning... might do day 25 this evening since I will be out all day tomorrow and they are cardio vs strength training. Good luck - this training is TOUGH! At least, to me it is.

I'm so with you! Once I am going I am good but if I stop even just for a few days it is hard to get up again!

Great!!

Unfortunately I haven't got a HRM! I have read a few times though that it burns about 500 cal but you never know do you! I am doing the South Beach Diet so I am not counting calories. I am sure if log about 350 or so you'd be on the safe side?

Do you do all 3 every day? I have BFBM and really rate it but need more/ more variety now so by coincidence have just ordered 30 DS and no more trouble zones. I reckon I could do 2 a day but I have 3 kids aged 5 and under so reckon I will struggle to do all 3 every day...

No you don't do all 3 a day...I think the schedule looks quite doable.Of course I don't have kids myself and I can imagine how difficult it must be to find time. I'[ll post it here for you. I have only just found it myself thanks to a lovely lady posting it. Her results were amazing and part of her routine was this schedule.

Let me know if you fancy doing it and we could start together...

danibee79

And is there a special eating plan with this too?

Daisy80

Danibee: Great come and join! I am just restarting week 1! I think there is an eating plan somewhere but I haven't got the link for it! Sorry..

spgabby86

Yes I recently bought a heart rate monitor (for my birthday). I always shaved a few mins off when I logged before I did that (so BFBM would be like 40min)... but I can tell you I sometimes hit 500 cals on BFBM. I am pouring buckets on that workout!

What is the quick trouble zones. Is it the other options you have on her regular no more trouble zones? I have that. I was thinking of doing this but instead of doing her bfbm I was just going to run on those days.
