    Do you need any weights or anything for that? If not I'll get it and partake!

    You need light weights, I got some 500g ones from rebel sport for about $3 each.

    I have a question about the 30 day shred....how do you know how many calories you are burning?
    I don't have a heart rate monitor thingymajig :(

    I can probably just start tomorrow too and use my Zumba sticks in the mean time.

    Sweet tomorrow sounds good. Kelly just use some cans till you get the weights.

    I will do mine either in the morning or lunch time when the baby is sleeping, oh sometimes I may not do it until the evening. LOL just when I have time I guess

    Don't have any cans Tania! So I may use coke bottles filled with water or the Zumba sticks.

    I'll aim to do it in the morning.

    Yeah use the zumba sticks they will do for now.

    Ok So I have just done level 1 day 1
  • escadachic
    escadachic Posts: 395 Member
    Yeah I did use my Zumba sticks.

    Gosh, some of it gets quite exhausting, but mostly it wasn't too bad.

    What time did you start it Tania?

    I think we may have been doing it at the same time. I just spent 10mins or so trying to work out the calories burnt before I logged it.

    Does anyone want the signature code for the image I have on my posts?

    Bri_and_Oli_Mum Posts: 118
    Yep Kelly PM me the sig,

    I started about 9.15 :)

    Yeah some of it can be pretty hard out. Level 2 is hard, probably why I only did 2 days of level 2 last time lol
  • escadachic
    escadachic Posts: 395 Member
    Yeah I think I started around the same time then.

    So how hard is hard regarding level 2?

    Those of you who are doing the 30ds do you want to PM me your Start weight Bust, Waist (at smallest part), tummy around Belly button, and the widest part of your bum measurements and I will make up a table to post how much cm's and %weight lost over the 30 days. I will keep the measurements private

    Is it going to be a regular thing, say at the end of each level, or just at the end of 30 days?

    The measurement table I'm talking about.

    OMG! My muscles are feeling it today!

    But must push on and do today's exercise.

    Mind you, I also did Zumba - Sculpt & Tone last night.

    Day two and arggghh, so hard to keep going with sore muscles. I did it, but had to have a few breaks, no more than five seconds. Hopefully by tomorrow or the next I'll be a lot stronger and able to push through more.

    So far after both days, I've felt really nauseous. I hadn't experienced that at the gym, hopefully that'll pass too!

    Day 5 level 1 here. I'm still doing 'girl' press ups but keeping up with Natalie for pretty much everything else. I bought my weights from Kmart. Couldn't decide on whether to get the 500g or the 1 kg hand weights. Threw caution to the wind and got the 1kgs. My arms frickin' ACHE by the end but damn it I want toned arms so I'm taking the pain.:wink:

    Awesome to see you all still keeping at it! :flowerforyou:

    I did Level 2 on day 2. Then my man suggested that it's probably supposed to be level 1 for 10 days, level 2 for 10 days and then level 3 for 10 days. Thus being why it's called the 30 Day Shred. And I was like, oh, oops, probably aye! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Gosh I'm a bit silly sometimes!

    So yeah, being I was doing level 2, just 1 day after starting level 1, I was aching(well actually I was already when I woke up Tuesday morning!) and I did have to do a few 5 second or more pauses. Think I will be continuing with the level 1, now that I've gained some brain cells LOL!

    I've got 2kg weight for it. As I tried lifting 1kg weights at exercise/sports store, but it was like lifting nothing. So I figured 2kg was good. I figured 3kg would be a bit much and I'd get really sore, very fast with them.

    I so know the ache you are talking about! Every night, I lie in bed feeling the pain LOL! But this morning I woke up without any aches, so that was good.

    I got my weights from L.A Fitness. They are 30% off in-store at the moment and that works out cheaper then The Warehouse and Kmart and they are better quality. I got the Hex ones.

    If anyone is thinking of getting weights online, L.A Fitness do Free Shipping!

    Oh and they are still doing the challenge, to lose 10kgs in 6 months and then you get the exercise equipment free at the end, if you lose the 10kgs. So, you pretty much pay for the hire for 6 months and if you've lost the 10kgs by the 6th month, you get to keep it, forever!
