D3 L1 Done! Am I the only one, who can barely lift their arms to eye level on the last arm exercise? I'm using 5lbs weights. But my husband was telling me its not that much weight. I totally struggle on those. Plus can't do all the push ups without motifying them. Oh well, hopefully by the day 10 I'll be killing it.
Way to go ladies! Keep up the hard work. You can do this!!

...that is my most HATED exercise... that and the fake jump rope. I used 3lbs weights and still hated the shoulder raises. Definitely easier by day 10 but still killer. Tell your hubby to do the 30DS and then he can talk hee hee

StefThi

Well done you! I am sitting here writing this with sweat running down my face! I can proudly join the group of Day 3 Level1 DONE!

libland

D3 L1 done.... 4:45am is awfully early to do jumping jacks and lunges.... joints are not quite awake yet.... but it is over for the day.

mrsc86

I agree - 4:45 is very early for jumping jacks - makes my 5:30 seem a bit weak! lol

zee1957

I'm so proud of myself being that I haven't done exercise for almost 20 years :laugh: and here I'm on my day 3 level 1.
yesterday my thighs were so sore that i couldn't go up a couple of stairs :grumble: but I woke up feeling a lot better.
Is anyone in this group around my age ? I'm 54 just trying to see what I'm up against :flowerforyou:

mrsc86

Well done zee!

zee1957

Going on a mini vacation for a couple days - will be back Thursday and ready to shred!!! Keep going ladies

crystalslight

Note to self: Do NOT do 30 DS in front of husband. He says I should be sore with ALL the grunting I'm doing. Hahaha!

Hope you are all feeling STRONG! Way to go with the dedication.

Day 4 Level 1 DONE. I don't exercise at a specific time. Just whenever I can fit it in.
You ladies who are waking up at the crack of dawn are my hero's. I can barely wake up in time to get kids ready for school. Although, my baby is keeping me up in the night. Hopefully she'll give mom a good nights sleep soon.
Took my before pics yesterday. Can't wait to see our results.

mrsc86

Well done again to those who made todays workout. 3 down 27 to go!

I started shredding then found this support group, I'm on day 4. I find myself able to do more of the workout, but still extremely sore. Wonder if all 10 days will be like this? Plus I swear my knees are breaking Lol But I feel awesome when I am done!! :happy: Happy shredding everyone!!

Day 1 Level 1
I found yall friday, but didn't get back in time over the weekend.
CW: 162.9

Had to forgo the weights just to get my form ... but I got thru the who shabang!

joysyear

Ok just trying to catch up here did Level 1 this morning and just did it again tonight Yay!!!!. Since I took those 5 days off I'm trying to catch up to you ladies so I can make the move to level 2 on Dec 6th. Still having difficulty with the push ups and those dreaded arm lifts in the last set. Glad I'm not the only one with weak arms.
I'm sure we'll be great by day 10
Congrats to all
Guess I'll try getting up earlier and working them in by 5:30 since my daughter is up by 6am

Hi Everyone

Level 1: 26th November - 5th December
Level 2: 6th December - 15th December
Level 3: 16th December - 25th December

Now - for some of you lovely lot, this may mean you need to double up one day if you joined in after Saturday to make sure we are all feeling the final day of level 3 on Xmas morning as this is when we will need the most support

Good luck for day 4! I shall be doing mine this evening, then D5 L1 nice and early tomorrow :happy:

Keep shreddin'!!!!!

libland

Ugh.... day 4 done.... and because it is pouring rain I did 20 minutes of Zumba (well, my white girl can't dance version) to make up for not walking the dog this morning.

Have a great day everyone

I did days 1-3 of level one last week mon to wed, and then days 3-6 from sunday last week to this morning. I feel as fit as a fiddle, it's getting easier and easier. I am tempted to move up to level two and/or start doing another JM video in the evenings. What does anyone think?

I swear my arms and abs look better already but there is no scales joy yet really I am still fluctutating wildly between 177-180 (this is probably also due to heavy evening meals the past two days also TOM happening later this week). I was too embarassed to take before and after pictures and I couldn't really figure out how to get the camera going on my own - any ideas?

xx

mrsc86

I find my weight a bit odd - it fluctuates, then does nothing and then falls off - repeat cycle!

Are you doing everything on level 1 to the max (full push ups, what weights are you doing the lifts with etc?)

Ilovedrinkingtea

Hmm, push ups make me nervous about falling on my nose so I prefer a solid all-out half one. Other than that I follow Natalie the advanced girl.

I am using 2.3kgs weights throughout and dropping to 1.1kgs just for the lateral raise with side squats at the end, do you think that's heavy enough?

persephone87

I started today so am only on day 1 at the moment. I thought I was pretty fit but I had to take a break inbetween and jumping jacks were making me feel very queasy, anyone else find tummy fat bouncing up and down makes you feel ill. Even with a sports bra I was worried about black eyes haha. Good work so far everyone
