Done level 1 Day 6 today, same with the pushups 10 and 6, but today I had small children clambering around me .... I think with the right environment I'll be able to beat my record for push ups tomorrow!!0
-
Oh, did Day 10 of Level 1 today! Level 2 tomorrow - getting worried haha but after 10 days of level 1 I really see a difference! hopefull level 2 will have the same effect
Good luck to all x0 -
L1D9 done. Felt REALLY good0

Just been to the physio who says I have to drop anything with high impact on my ankle, which is basically MOST of the cardio in shred.
I'm gonna go through and see what I can still do later. I mean I can still do the cardio boxing.. can anyone thing of any low impact cardio i can sub in for the jumping jack/jump rope as they're the worst culprits. Really don't wanna give in on this challenge. I might burn less cals but I just don't wanna stop totally... 0 -

Beside the boxing, you can try the windmills that are done during the warmup. Also try speed boxing (pretend to be hitting a speed bag at head level)

HTH!
Thank you, I will try them. Also I think that once the pain has calmed down I might try to reintroduce the butt kicks, treading softly, as I don't think they're as high-impact as jumping jacks and jump rope, what do you think?0 -
You could also just do squats? Or even squat as low as you can and hold for the 30 seconds, that's hard!
I've just done level1 day 7, feeling good, feeling much stronger on the strength section, push ups not really improving, but ... I'm going to keep at it! Pleased with myself today, as this is usually my rest day .... just as well really as I've had a humongous lunch! Like 1000calories, but all good healthy stuff ... might try level 2 later tonight just so I can eat my dinner! LOL!0 -
Started Level 2 day 1 today - holy moly it was tough but I felt great after it! shock to the system - Level 1 is a good bit easier!0
-
Did my day 9 with boxing and windmills for the cardio intervals, going to do day 10 later on. :-)
Will deffo try squats because most the fat I want rid of is on my thighs.
thanks for the support guys ;-)0 -
Ooops .. I'm too late .. I must do day 6 + 7 today ...0
-
I took yesterday off. When the first half of your day is spent curled up on the bathroom floor I think you've got a good excuse.
Doing Level 1, Day 10 tonight. SO excited to start Level 2 tomorrow! As great as the workouts are, they get pretty boring after awhile.0 -
Hmm ... I seem to have got a bit out of sink, I notice on my calendar that I'm actually on level 1 day 9 today, not day 8 as I thought ... ah well, all good anyway, all done. Starting to feel really strong with the weights now. Looking forward to level 2 even though I'll start it on a Monday, which isn't ideal!0

Grace, I also just finished L2D1!!! LOVE the plank jacks, HATED the plank thrusts! I can NOT do the 1-leg extensions if my life depended on it. My shoulders truly burned after today's workout!
ROCK ON, Gang!

Hey, I thought of something else, can you pony? It's not as high impact at the jumping because you always have one foot on the ground...0 -
L1 day 10 done, level 2 tomorrow, yay!0
-
Finished Day 12 - L2D2. Nice.. trying to get deeper into my squats.0
-
Day 12 finished today - Level 2.
Mscaramarie you are right about those squat thrusts - HATE THEM -not a big fan of the lunges is this level either but im persevering through!
I'm just hopeing they get a bit easier!0 -
I took a couple days off due to illness, but I'll be picking back up tonight. L2D1 here I go.
Side note....I peeked at my measurements, not all, but I did realize I've lost 2 inches off my waist! And I've still got 20 days to go! Woot!0 -
Wow!!! 2 inches off your waist is AWESOME!!! YAY!
I've done 2 days of level 2 now, and it's definitely harder, and a good burn for 20 mins exercise (200 - 220 calories) for me.
I'm a bit sick atm, but I'm going to keep up my shred if I can. Missed my bootcamp this morning, but I had a tough night with sick kids and wasn't feeling too hot myself ... so had a lie in ...0 -
Feel better soon!
I'm happy about the inches...would prefer if they came off right around my midsection, as that's where I'm widest, but hey, inches lost are inches lost! AND, I still have 18 days of the shred left!0 -
Today ..I must be on day 14 due to the starting day ... But I still in day 8 .. OMG ..OMG .. OMG !! I FEEL SO BAD ... AS A LOSER!!0
-
Don't stress about it, just keep on going!!
I've just done day 3 of level 2, all good. I managed to follow Natalie mostly, which is good as I'm still a bit under the weather. Feeling so much stronger though, really enjoying level 2, especially the burn! 220 cals today, which is just fab for 20 mins I think.0 -
Finished Day 17 L2D7. I kind of like this level. I'm starting to see strength increases in the gym, I was able to lift more this morning.
Everyone have a GREAT day!0 -
day 4 level 2 done, quite enjoying level 2, my arms are soooo much stronger!0
-
No shred for me today :-( I fell asleep instead, and now I'm off to bed ... will just carry on tomorrow ... If I feel energetic later in the week I'll attempt to catch up, but I'm mega busy tomorrow, and fitting it in once will be a challenge!0

Personally, I don't think you can catch up. If you miss is, you miss it, It's 30 days of exercise. IMHO, you need to do 30 days, maybe you miss a few, and it takes 35 days, but hey that's ok!0 -
Yeah that's easier than considering doing it twice in one day anyhow!
I've missed today too ... everything is just busy, busy, busy atm ... it's not looking like it's going to imporve in the near future ... so I'll just have to squash it in!! Should be all good tomorrow actually.
Happy shredding!0 -
Finished the first day of Level 3. OMG! Sooo much jumping!0
-
I'm still on day 8 .. !!0
