  • After a lousy week I will be picking up where I left off and starting level 2 today. My partner who works away had a week off so we were spending time together, coupled with my job requiring me to leave the house at 5.45am last week and having a new puppy to take care of alone when I get home, walkies etc has meant some…

  • Ugh help I have fallen off the wagon! My planned rest day on Saturday has merged into a few rest days. My other half who usually works away has been home since then and I have literally just forgotten to do it. So disappointed in myself as that's not the mindset I was in last week. Feeling crap bodywise and just feeling…

  • Completed level 1 Day 9 today with very little motivation. Got hit by a wave of nausea half way through so had to take a break but I carried on through to the end. Definitely ready to move on now. It does get a bit repetitive after so many days! I will do my measurements on Sunday as tomorrow will be a rest day due to…

  • Woop day 8 done! I Remember when I started out being inspired by others who had made it this far, it feels like a small acheivment vment but make sure you are proud of yourselves for sticking with it! Last time I tried to follow an exercise plan I was doing the couch to 5K 9 week plan and only made it to week 5 as my legs…

  • You are right, I dont really have weight to lose, I wouldnt mind a slight gain from this really as I am at the lower end of what is considered healthy for my height, but Im just not happy with my body shape, as I have thin legs, and am not in the best shape around my middle and lower back, or arms, so clothes dont always…
  • Level 7 done today. Really had to drag myself up off the sofa this morning. Having a rest day didn't really do me any justice, woke up lethargic and no motivation, but I got through it, upgraded my weights to 4.5lbs I was naughty and measured myself today. I thought if I had lost anything then I wouldn't feel as…

  • Day 7 for me tomorrow (rest day today do to more hectic schedule than usual and in the office late :-( ) It's going well. The pain is definitely less the following day. My endurance is up but in some sets I still am dying by the time she says "give me 5 more!" Desperate to move on to level 2 now! X
  • Completed Day 6 level 1 yesterday. Pushed myself extra hard and can just about feel the effects this morning. The top floor of my house has lots of sky lights and with the weather it is scorching up there, so I did my workout in there to try and increase my burn. I had a doctor's appointment that got in the way of my…
  • That will be interesting.. I can currently plank for about 1 minute at an absolute stretch!
  • Those side lunges are hideous.. Definitely my most feared part!
  • Completed Day 4 yesterday evening and upgraded my weights, but only for the exercises that are arms only. The squat press and side lunge with arm raises for example I have not upgraded my weights and am just using 1kgs I woke up in no pain at all this morning. Which was a little disappointing. Hopefully it will still pay…
  • I'm definitely looking forward to level 2 now. I've just finished level 1 Day 5 and this morning I woke up in no pain at all so I'm worried now that it's no longer paying off. I don't want to move up to level 2 until I've done the full 10 days on level 1 though..
  • Day 4 done this evening. I don't feel like I have really had a work out today which is disappointing. We'll see tomorrow! I have now upgraded my weights, but only for the exercises that are arms only. The squat press and side lunge with arm raises for example I have not upgraded my weights and am just using 1kgs Really…
  • Really disappointed that this morning was my day 3 shred and not day 4 like I planned. I have a 10 week old beagle pup who I came home to find rather unwell, so was sorting her out and generally just being being a soft touch lastnight! Got up early and did my day 3 shred this morning to avoid the risk of caving to Friday…
  • Well done! Think I will feel quite accomplished if I make it to day 8! Only day 3 for me!
  • Day 3 now for me.. Woke up this morning in about as much pain as yesterday, just glad it's no worse. It's a good kind of pain at this point because I know I have worked hard! Definitely feeling more toned but this early in its probably because my muscles have ceased up in shock- but it's keeping me motivated! One thing…
  • Good stuff! I definitely made good use of the warm up today for pushing past the pain and really loosening up the aches muscles. When you push yourself you learn why those warm up and cool down routines are so important! Got through today just switching to lighter weights than I used yesterday and feel good! Is this your…
  • Hi everyone. Yesterday was day 1 of the shred for me. Woke up this morning and 30 days seems like such a long way away so really want to get involved in some of these threads for support! I purchased a polar HRM yesterday to help with motivation, and plan to embark on day 2 for the next hour! Good to read some of the…
  • Hi everyone. Yesterday was day 1 of the shred for me. Woke up this morning and 30 days seems like such a long way away! I purchased a polar HRM yesterday to help with motivation but think I could definitely use some help from you guys!
  • Hi everyone.. seems I'm a little behind here, I'm just about to start day 2 level 1, but 30 day shred motivatiom is something I am really going to need (woke up in agony this morning!) So thought I would join in. Did day one yesterday with 2 kg dumbells but think I might have to take it down to 1kg!
  • Hi Sarah This is exactly the reason I joined - really hope I can make it to the end and post my results! I am on day two now and can definitely relate to the jelly legs which are now very achy legs! Not looking forward to waking jp tomorrow!
  • Hi everyone. Yesterday was day 1 of the shred for me. Woke up this morning and 30 days seems like such a long way away! I purchased a polar HRM yesterday to help with motivation, so then went for a run aswell just to see the results.. Maybe I've just over done it but I am I'm terrible pain today! Refuse to give up on the…
