The FastDay Forum

Wow Mummybunny, that's amazing!! Wish I had taken measurements now...but I did try on two pairs of shorts I wore last summer and they literally fell down, although weight wise I'm only about 2/3 kilos less than I was the last time I wore them, so I think the 30ds is definately the reason for that!!

Hi all, I'll be joining you for the next round of 30 day shreddings! Anyone else new to the thread? I did the shred months and months ago but have done no exercise for about 6 months and am very unfit so I know this will hurt. Have been putting it off for ages though, so *have got* to start this evening. I will do it! SPARTAAAAA!

How's everyone getting on with their goals?

Newbie here. I started the shred yesterday after months of being a couch potato - quite thankful I could move enough to give day 2 a go this morning! Abs, shoulders and legs starting to ache now though. HATE those push ups!!!!

Hi Everyone, I did my first shred day of level one yesterday... yes I found it a bit of challenge towards the end of the jumping jacks.. it felt good and brought me a big smile when I knew it is over (cool down) at the end of the 20 mins.
I found out that I am not very flexible when I did the cool down moves . I do admit I did the easy version but am proud that I did start the shred after I read all these posts here.
Today i'd be doing my day 2 on my fast day... fabulous.... good luck to everyone else who is doing this round of NEW shredders

Tough & challenging .... I am looking forward to when I can stop cursing as it gets near the end

I've done 7 days of level 1 since restarting, I've been doing the hard versions of everything and it's been quite a challange actually, but I'm so much fitter than I was the first time, I'm not even out of breath for the cardio, I'm going to start adding weights like on level 3 from tomorrow!

Mummybunny - I think I read somewhere that you had finished ripped in 30 - what are you doing now?

Hi, I started the 30 day shred a few months back and enjoyed it! Unfortunately like all my best plans I fell off the wagon:( thinking now that I'm a few pounds lighter it would be good to try again. Need to look out the DVD. Well done to everyone doing it and enjoying good results. X

Hi, I've had a little break the last couple of days but I downloaded 6 Week 6 Pack and am intending to start that tomorrow. I really wish I could do Extreme Shed and Shred but I need something I can watch on my iPad. ESS is only available in the UK on DVD.

OMG I just looked at a preview of shed and shred, it looks insane!

Have you tried the banish fat boost metabolism one or no more trouble zones? I think I might go for one of those soon, I've had enough of the 30 ds, I'm word perfect LOL!

Someone smack my wrist, I keep falling off the wagon

Needing some serious support, I just fall apart when I come home! I can't create a routine because of my mum, which sounds like a rubbish excuse... but still. She's very indulgent and I am as well when I come home, we drink a bit too much and definitely eat too much (we eat out a lot). But she is going away on Wednesday for 11 days so I have that time to create a routine... But then there's going to my boyfriend's house and he can be a bad influence too! He half-heartedly fasts sometimes but tempts me with sweets and things... Gah.

Anyway, I've got 3 weeks until my holiday and I have restarted the shred with a vengeance. I bought the Jillian 4-pack (30DS, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, No More Trouble Zones and 6W6P) and will be taking it to my boyfriend's house and back to uni when I go! I am determined.

Sorry for the mini rant, but I must be made accountable for this! I will log in here every and I must, must, must do some form of exercise every day. I don't want to try the other ones yet because I don't have the time to complete the full thing, but I'm going to do a week of each level on the 30DS.

Hope you're all getting on well! Let me know

I'm in - have done two days of level one and am raring to go. I AM worried about level three though. I've never managed to get past 2 before, and it seems like a big jump from 2 to 3. Yeek!

BethP, have you made a thread where you ask for some support from the forumites? I made one recently and having people talk me out of my slump has really helped. You seem like you're doing all the right stuff - best of luck! Hope I'll see you back here again tomorrow having done the workout!

I'm struggling too right now. I bought 6w6p on iTunes because it was the only one I could download - as I've mentioned before I don't have a good room with a DVD player in it for exercising. I watched it on Friday to see how the moves went (at least I was on an exercise bike) but haven't touched it since then. What I really want is a total body workout like 30DS and RI30 - my arms have been getting rather buff! - and I'm afraid 6w6p may give me fab abs at the expense of my arms. And today I am absolutely knackered - I didn't get much sleep last night because of some stuff going on in my job - more tired than I have been since starting fasting. So I really need some motivation!

Good luck BethP and all the rest of you shredders.

Proud to say I powered through and did my first day of 6w6p. It went fine, in fact some moves were too easy and I will need to add weights. But I think if I do that I may get more of the total body workout I want. Will keep you posted (whether you want it or not!).

Mummybunny, you should check out Blogilates on youtube. She has excellent Pilates videos that range from beginner to pro, and a whole beginner's program that's amazing! Would be a great total body workout. Check out the "POP Pilates for Beginners" one - 30 mins long and OUCH.

I had no energy yesterday, but I stuck with Jillian and got through it! Now for tonight!

Well done mummybunny and swingy! I have managed to stay on track for 3 days now, Level 1 is all too familiar and I think I'll move on much quicker this time. Only problem is those blasted push-ups...

What's 6W6P actually like, mummybunny? Is it really all abs or does it do a bit more of your body too? I think 'Banish Fat Boost Metabolism' is the cardio-heavy one, so I get the feeling doubling up or switching between DVDs (if you get around to downloading/buying them) is your best bet for a 'full body workout'. I know what you mean though, the shred really does do everything!

Swingy, you'll be fine on level 3 Just keep thinking 'it's only 20 minutes', haha! I find my mind wanders when I do the moves now, the time flies by. Still works up a sweat though...

I've eaten too much today and yesterday which is a drag, but at least I'll be fasting later this week and exercising. My muscles are aching daily again now but it feels good Nice to be getting back to some exercise! Summer holidays are difficult, but the squidgy tummy will not win...

Keep it up
