Ripped In 30 - July Challenge

Hey guys!

For those of us who were doing the 30 Day Shred Challenge in June (thanks to fatty2fabby) and want to keep moving forward, and those who've been thinking about doing RI30 but maybe haven't had the motivation, our new challenge is to do RI30 for the month of July.

The lowdown: Having NOT measured myself before the 30DS, I can recommend you do (if you don't already), around each thigh, hips, waist (at belly button), bust and each bicep at the beginning and once a week (check in day will be Friday, every 7 days after the start of July, but as before, this is totally optional). Weighing is completely up to you, as we're building muscles and therefore this is likely to fluctuate. Log it as CIRCUIT TRAINING. Any extra exercise you do is fab and can only help, and although it's recommended that we do this every day, it's also important to take rest days, so don't feel downhearted if you miss one or two - just get back on the wagon and keep going as soon as you can.

There is a diet plan to go with RI30 which I know some are planning to follow. I probably won't as I have precious little spare time for food prep, though I might try to modify my diet a bit. It'll be interesting to see what differenc the diet plan makes to those who do decide to do it though.

This thread is to share experiences, encourage each other and offer the motivation to keep going! If you're already doing RI30 or start it after the begnning of July, that's cool, do come and join in, we're all on the same road eventually, and can still offer support to each other even if we're a little ahead/behind (oh, for a little behind ;o)

I'll happily keep a list of those taking this challenge, though I'm guessing there will be fewer of us than those doing the Shred, so let me know if you want to be on it ) And for those who did the Shred in June and who don't fancy doing RI30, please do let us know how July treats you, what you're doing to keep that fat off and those muscles toned, even if it's simply continuing with the Shred )

Here's to a svelt and toned August 1st!
