N.Z 30 Day Shred

4littlemonkeys

Well we did a 29 day shred.....only one day left, but we just have had one of those weeks where our energy has been sucked right out of us!! Teething baby, sick toddler, 2 nearly 5 yr olds not going to sleep until late.....we are going to start from the beginning on Monday. Had some good results, lost a few cms!

Well done! Should be a bit more difference in the end results as well! Just did L2, D8 and will do some measurements on D10. Going to do 15 days L2 and 15 L3 then start on ripped in 30.

Mmmmm well I did some measurements yesterday and there is no change from D20 results!!! Admittedly I haven't done any real exercise in just over a week now.....so at least they aren't going back up!!!

L2 D11 today. Am going to revise my idea of 15 days on each level and start level 3 tomorrow for 10 days then mix up the last 9 days between L2 & L3 coz I am sooo bored of L2 right now. Took progress photos today and I look bigger than at D10...weird...even though my measurements have gone down...sigh...maybe it was the camera angle and excellent photography skills of my husband making me look bigger. Haha.

Did L3 today. Really liked it but didn't push very hard as I wasn't sure what to expect....think I will be sore tomorrow!

Started again last night, second round D1L1!

Good work - keep it up!

Am up to D4 L3 and really starting to notice the difference in my body in literally the last day. Am much stronger and getting more definition. I have 16 days to go since my restart, but must have done about 30 days altogether, but with a big break at around L2 D4 the first time round.

Hope everyone is seeing results!

Do you find that you get so tired you get wobbly and lose balance? I don't seem to get really sore, my muscles just actually stop working! Funny.

I'm having issues doing the lunges! My thighs just don't want to stretch to do them. But at least I didn't get sore muscles again (had a 2wk break)

Hey, for those of you feeling like it's too hard to do this everyday, I found this on another message board on MFP:

Hey everyone - I have some good information to share. On one of Jillian Michael's podcasts where she takes questions from fans, etc., she was asked about the 30 Day Shred and whether or not you should be doing it everyday. She said she did not intend for it to be done everyday. It is meant to be done about 3-4 times per week and to be mixed in with other forms of cardio and strength training. Thought everyone would like to know!

So you still do 10 days at each level, but not in a row so I guess it would take 2 months to finish if you did it like she advises above.

Thats good to know! I don't feel so bad take 2 days off

kcnz

I've got six days left of L3, I've been doing 2 days on, 1 day off so that will be 8 days until I finish round one I guess. Some days I feel like I'm making good progress and others (like today) I feel like I've gotten nowhere. I was thinking of doing Ripped in 30 after this, but think I'll do another round of L2 and L3, maybe with a slightly heavier weight - using 2kg at the mo which is o.k. for most exercises but a bit light for some.

How's everyone else doing? Going to do measurements etc on 30th and see if there's been progress.

OK after a messy few weeks the man and I will be restarting 30DS again today!! Started a couple weeks ago but due to us being sick, kids being sick, assignments and various Xmas related things we stopped.
