Level 3

Options
Started level 3 today (20th Feb) man it is hard! Level 1 was hard until day 3 and level 2 was hard until around day 5/6 with planks continuing to be hard, but I cant see me ever being strong enough for this haha! Never the less I will push through, 8lbs down so far :) xxx

    Started level 3 too. Those Rockstar jumps...omg. it's not pretty. Finally can do a few real push ups here and there but not the entire time. Can't wait til never have to be on 1/2 knees. Down 5 lbs & clothes are looser. Keeping me motivated.

    I'm awful at push ups too!! I can go half way down in a full push up and can so about 5 haha then I'm dying, I'm so weak in the upper body! Xxx

    Level 3 day 1 done! I still have 5 days of level 2 left but I wanted some change. It was tough as expected but I still liked it better than L 2. That one is a killer! I hate those non-ending planks!

    Starting Level 3 today. I've had a lot of personal things going on so I've fallen off the wagon the last couple of days.. Will update my measurements/weight on the other post and then get my butt back in gear.

    I finished level 3 day 1. I really didn't want to. I would rather sit around feeling sorry for myself. Lol I didn't have much energy in it, but I still did it, which I think is better than skipping it.

    Done lvl 3 day 3! Thank you for the motivation @Alf1163!!

    My way of thinkig about this is also "if I don't work out today, I will fall back into old habits, the thing that will push me towards my goal is that this time won't be the same as every other time I've tried to live a healthy lifestyle, this time I am actualyly going to get off my bum, even when I can't be bothered, and do my workout, if it's only ten minutes of if it's an hour, something is better than nothing"

    Obviously there are exclusion I.e injury, rest days etc but on days where I am planning a workout and can't be bothered that is my thinking that gets me up, I have tried this before and every time fallen back into "I cant be bothered today, maybe tomorrow" and tomorrow never came, but not this time, this time its for good!!

    Keep going everyone, you're doing so well ❤

    Level 3 Day 2 done! I'm going to be honest, I don't think level 3 is that bad. ((don't kill me!)) I don't seem to burn as many calories, I don't seem to have to work as hard (minus a few moves). Maybe that's because with some of the moves, the advanced is too difficult, but the beginner is too easy? I just don't feel like I'm getting much of a workout anymore.

    No I know exactly what you mean!! I try and do the advanced moves where possible and when I do that I sweat ALOT but with moves like the plank rows with a leg raise, I can't do the advanced because my wrists aren't strong enough to support my body yet, but when I do it on my knees, I feel it's way too easy, even with heavy weights!!

    Day 25/30, half way through lvl 3!!! Almost there now :) workouts are getting easier since I've pushed myself to do the advanced non modified versions since day 2. I can do the ab hold to plank move all the way through, only one I struggle with is jumping lunges, I have no balance I keep wobbling and having to correct myself causing me to miss a few and have to go slower, oh well, its about the effort I suppose! Xxx

    Edit: mispelt words.

    Where is everyone????? I had to do ripped in 30 week 4 again this morning because I couldn't find any 30DS level 3 videos on youtube!!!! It looks like they have been deleted!! Help!!! But ripped wk 4 is very similar. I felt burnt out this morning though. I still did it along with leg work and then 30 mins of swimming. Have an awesome day!!!

    Just finished L3 Day 3!! I skipped yesterday and did my own strength/resistance exercises. There is a lot of jumping in L3 and I do it while my kids are napping so I've been holding back a little as not to wake them. Lol Today my kids are out of the house and I finally got a good workout in for L3! I also did the advanced when I could and it definitely made it much more difficult!!

    Finished lvl 3 day 5 today, didn't really give it my all. I prefer to workout in the evening as that's when I'm most productive but was forced to do it in the am as I had work 1pm - 11pm and knew when I got home I'd just want to sleep! Still got a bit of a sweat on, which is good, but not as much as normal!

    Any one else feel like this group is getting quieter?? Xxx
