[April Showers]

Sign up here for the next round of shredding and I'll add a chart to this post when we start. This round will run from March 12th to April 10th.

The rules as compiled by a number of shredders:

• You must exercise each day of the 30 challenge for at least 20 minutes. You may use any DVDs you have on hand such as Jillian's 30 Day Shred, Chalean Extreme or you can do any activity you like. eg. walk, bike ride, swim or go to the gym.

• You must post to the check in thread each day to get checked off and have your progress charted.

• If you miss a day you can make it up on Sunday. Be sure to let me (April) know you did it so I can make sure your chart is correct. Make up days can also be accomplished by doing a separate workout in a day. For example - "I did Zumba for 1 hour in the morning" = 1 workout and "I walked for 45 minutes in the evening" = 1 workout for a total of 2 workouts that day.

It is a good idea to weigh and measure yourself before you start so you can see your own progress. You may share your numbers with the group for accountability or keep them private as you wish.
We make a great support system for one another, so if you are having problems, have questions, or just need to moan and groan about your sore muscles, let it all out:)

Add me April, Today Wednesday I've just done a brisk 30 min walk to get milk (car's being fixed). I'm soaked, it's raining really hard today.

Count me in!

[PBarnes]

I had a major fail for February (and my weight is evidence of that) but ave been getting back on track and am ready to re-commit!

[SandiC.]

I'll take a pass for this round. I'm ending up posting my workouts at about 3 or 4 different places now and I can't keep it all up. I'll lurk and cheer you all on and I hope you'll think of me once in awhile too. Just won't be able to keep the posting up consistently.

[Cheri T]

Count me in, although we're on vacation until the 16th, so I may not check in until then depending on my internet connection and how busy we are. I hope to be able to post some sort of workout for at least a couple of the vacation days though:)

[angleigh]

[podiumchick]

[Smiles]

I'd like to join!
April, are we taking Sundays off again? You said each day of the 30 days. Just checking.

Yes! We don't have to take the day off, but it is a great way to make up a missed day. You'll get a "sticker" on the chart for every day you report, but you still have 100% attendance if you you either don't do a Sunday workout or if you choose to use a Sunday workout to make up for an earlier day.

Sign me up, please.

[Garden_Girl]

I would like to sign up also. I need a little accountability motivation right now.

[scraphappen]

sign me up. I have been away and sick and had people out of town stay with us but I need to get back on that routine again!!

[sanot]

I'll try this again! I need the accountability

[scraphappen]

Yesterday I forgot to post I did pilates for one hour so that would be for Friday and Thursday please!!
Thanks so much. This morning I hurt. I took a few weeks off from being sick and having out of town company now when I work out I hurt!! It's like starting all over again!

[mimes1]

ok...count me in! With the DST now I have an extra hour in the daylight and I need to get back on the wagon. After 5 months of success and taking 2 months off I think it's like I never exercised in the first place. Ugh. So I will take on the challenge!

[Burnsie]

Count me in. I will be going to Las Vegas in less than two weeks for National competition, and then two days of training (8 hours per day!) so I need to stay focused!

Thanks, April, for being the Chart Master!

[Sheri Johnson]

I'm here! I did not do well checking in last month because I'm in a few Facebook groups too and it's hard to to keep up with them all! I'm going to try to be better about checking in.
Monday I'm starting TurboFire! Also, I have an opportunity to get TurboKick certified and I really think I'm going to do it. Then I will be able to teach TurboFire/TurboJam type classes.

That chart might take an extra day to show up.... I'm re-installing PS to a different drive on my desktop and it isn't being entirely cooperative.

[mbc72]

I would like to sign up again, April, please. I know I flaked out on this chart as well as the healthy habits one last month, but I need to drop some pounds for my cousin's wedding in May.

[Becca]

We started today, right?

Got Monday's in. Had to skip the gym for another school meeting (hopefully the last one for awhile), but DH and I took advantage of the beautiful weather and went for a 2 mile, 30 minute walk while DD was in dance class.

[angleigh]

Monday done...got a walk in.

[April Showers]

I've got the chart ready.
I'll upload it later tonight - go ahead and post what you've done today -- DAY 1!

[tiza126]

Monday - walked 2.2 miles (about 40 minutes)

[podiumchick]

Burn 3 for Monday!

[PBarnes]

Monday done - 40 minute walk outside! Gorgeous weather all week.

[mimes1]

Of to go for my walk - it will be an easy start for today.

Monday - done! I didn't give myself enough credit - I went further faster than I thought I would after two months off!

[Burnsie]

Monday...Taekwondo Class and Warrior X Fit!

[Cheri T]

Don't count me for today, but I wanted to check in anyway, lol - I walked a BUNCH at Legoland! (But not enough to raise my heart rate much and not for 20 minutes at a time).

[April Showers]

I just got back from the gym. I did an hour on the elliptical. I'll get the chart uploaded in a few minutes. It isn't super fancy,but maybe I'll dress it up a bit over the month.
