30Ds

Day 3 Level 1.

So i’m doing this plus yoga plus slight other challenges.

in all it made todays work out so impossibly hard. i thought my arms would finally give.

30DS

day 2 of first level = done.

the second day is always horrible for me. it takes like half the level to feel comfortable. my arms are like jelly.

the only thing i was thinking about was love handles. would this actually do anything for them or should i branch on my own? i have a medicine ball and know how to do side planks…

30DS?!

Instead of jogging because I know I will just get discouraged if I go out there with absolutely no endurance/stamina…I have re-started JM’s 30DS!

I remember when I first did it my spring semester of my freshman year in college. I almost died at the first level…I didn’t even use weights. So, when I can do the first level and not absolutely die I remember I have made progress.

Day 1: Complete! I will take body measurement tomorrow before Day 2.

Am I the only one that puffs out like blowfish/2 month pregnant woman after working out?

30DS Update…after a million years..

So. I totally decided to start up master JM’s 30DS again and then…cramps. Everything hurts. It’s not easy being a girl. We lose weight slower and then cramp for a week. And want to eat everything in sight…or maybe that’s just me. Anyways, September 1st I am officially going to do the 30DS. Even though that first level kicked my ass after a month of light doing nothing. But, I brought my yoga mat, dumbbells, and medicine ball to college. I might as well use my dorm as my personal gym. 

Is anyone else currently doing the Shred or wanting to start with me? :)

Restarting the 30DS!

30 DAY SHRED LEVEL 3

I will be finishing the shred this Friday. And on Sunday I will be doing Ripped in 30 alongside 6 Week 6 Pack.

After this week I don’t what to do anything but wallow in self pity and misery.

The shred was fun but now is tinged with misery and possible ultrasounds.

Hope everyone else’s week is better than mine.

30 Day Shred Level 3: Day 4

I was in extreme pain yesterday due to this work out. I have severe cramps that even hinder my running during a non menstrual time. The shred yesterday caused me a 7 hour cramp. I am still glad I did the best of my ability. So today when a cramp came on I had to once again stop before the last ab circuit. A health issue is not something I plan to push but for the rest of my cycle I will be doing the shred until that last ab circuit when my pain becomes unbearable. Never push your body tithe point of injury. It is not worth it.

30DS Level 3: Day 3

I would feel more bad about not reaching circuit 3 abs if a) my dog hadn’t gotten horribly sick downstairs b) I did 6 week 6 pack yesterday and plan to do it today and c) I’m having a shark week with a full on attack to my uterus.

But overall I am now not as impressed as I am with 6 week 6 pack.

30 Day Shred Level 3: Day 2

Hmm. Definitely feeling it in my back/arms/legs. Why must I have abs of steel hidden under fat? Le sigh. But I like the planking exercises. Especially for the obliques. I feel myself getting stronger and I still have exactly 3 months before I go back to school. I guess my goal is to not give up this summer and dream daily of the gym equipment again. Oh, weights more than 5 lbs we will meet again :)

30 Day Shred Level 3: Day 1

Uh, okay. Definitely can’t do, like, most of the moves. Ugh. Actually, that’s a lie. I can do most of them. Just not well. The one thing I can not do is the rock star jumps. Uh, ow? I’m scared of falling. Welp. Definitely feel my hams tightened. My goals by the end of this level are:

• Be able to do a halfhearted rock star jump
• Do the real side plank and not the easy way out
• Do real people walking push ups the WHOLE time
• Not fall on to the ground after it’s done…in pain

However, what I really did like about this level is the speed. Less talky JM and more working out. I liked how I felt tricked into getting to another interval T_T Like, oh, we’re on interval 2 now? And already on cardio?! Damn, JM…I think I love you more than the hatred I felt earlier this morning.

Didn’t go jogging today but I AM GOING to do more arm weights and some inner thigh work outs before the day is up :)

Mucho amore,

30 Day Shred Level 2: Day 10!

Done. Dun dun dun DONE. I am noticeably stronger by the end of this level and more toned in my arms. 

Worst decision ever was all the arm work outs I did yesterday though…ouch. Made the simple squat with upward press a death wish. But, oh well! Tomorrow is level 3 and then on to Ripped in 30!


TOTALLY DEMOLISHED AND READY TO SHOWER!

30 Day Shred Level 2: Day 9

I don’t know how I’m going to make it to level three. There might be death. And a lot of sweat.

If you have/are currently doing the 30 Day Shred reblog so I can follow you :)

That or… Ripped in 30.
