So today I finished my 2nd day of level 3. I'm a little disappointed because I didn't burn as many calories as I did in level 2. I don't even think I burned as many calories as I did the first time I did level 3. But its really weird because I was sweating like crazy, but my hrm didn't reflect that. But that's not going to make me stop doing it.0

It's because you are getting more and more in condition it's a good thing but that just means you have to step it up and go extra hard Good work. How is level 3?0 -
I did what I set out to do this morning... got up did L130DS - went for a run for 40 mins - too a 10 minute break then I did my "make-up" for yesterday. Suprisingly invigorating. The most difficult part is the shoulder press for me... after my run I did half and then just did the squats.
Thank you to all for the mute suggestion.... I was getting sick of their "music" -- and could see myself giving a whole lot more with some BOOM BOOM POW in the background instead!0 -
Sara I have the same issue with the shoulder presses ... man they KILL me. Tonight is Cardio for me 1 hour then ab work then store then home to do the shred ... gonna fire up some techno0

needs to get off this computer and do L1 D5 ...the couch is so comfy though :laugh:
it will still be here when im done
hoping to have a good loss next week
hope jillian does not disappoint me
hope everyone has a wonderful weekend :flowerforyou:0 -
Hello, everyone!
I just have started on ... Thursday! Haha. So, today it was my second day! I like her workout! It is challenging and fast. In my case it is one of the most important perspectives! So, today I did 30 minutes of cardio then the shred. Feeling good!0 -

thank you, that's a very good explaination. I never thought of it that way. I like level 3 because it has a lot of plyometric moves in it. The abs segments are killer too! She doesn't use the handweights that much, most of it is using your own body weight for strength.0 -
okay so I didn't do it last night for 2 reasons:
Main = my knees were hurting and I couldn't fathom doing jumping jacks or butt kicks LOL
2nd = I am doing a little experiment on HR and calories burned this morning. Since I only have done this after a vigorous cardio exercise I am curious how I burn "cold" ... check back for details
EDIT: Okay ... so here's the skinny (hehe) ..
D6A 9/25 - same weight (note: doing 2 circuits today as I didn't do it last night due to knees) Done first thing AM without other exercise prior
Heart Rate Max: 149
Heart Rate Avg: 125
Calories Burned: 191
3lb dumb bells used on the squat / shoulder press ONLY otherwise upped to 5lb on the rest of weighted strength training.
I am doing 1 more circuit of this when I get back from the gym (cardio and legs today) ... will report back differences.
Again, if anyone is interested the blog post is here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/KarenBorter/view/30-day-shred-ongoing-419850 -
Great job ladies!! Keep up the hard work, dropping in for a minut to say hi! Day 6 is in the books and I'm gonna get a nice workout later today with my hubby! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend, check back in manana or Monday!!:drinker: :flowerforyou:0

Took yesterday off, I was supposed to do the last day of Level 1. I think I'm going to start with Level 2 tonight instead of doing that last day--Level 1 barely seems to be affecting me, outside of the regular sweating.
I also picked up No More Trouble Zones and am going to incorporate it a couple days a week, probably Tues/Thurs. Maybe it'll help.0 -
Day 6 done!
Have a great weekend!!0 -
Okay so here are the results of the after workout 30DS ...
D6B 9/25 - same weight Done after cardio at gym and some weight trainging
Heart Rate Max: 150
Heart Rate Avg: 120
Calories Burned: 175
3lb dumb bells used on the squat / shoulder press ONLY otherwise upped to 5lb on the rest of weighted strength training.
I am counting today as days 6 and 7
You can see the difference between morning workout and then coming home and doing it after already working out. Calories are about 20 less then the morning. I can't wait to get to Level 20 -
Day 2 Level 2 is done, she is seriously trying to kill me!!!0
-
Day 6 done, hardest push and highest burn yet.
Used an 80s station on Pandora and got some great tunes..
Maniac from Flashdance,
Separate Ways - Journey,
And I Ran - Flock of Seagulls,
Talking in Your Sleep,
Always Something there to Remind Me,
Shout - Tears For Fears.....
I so love the 80s......0 -
Did D1L2 tonight. REALLY NOT A FAN. I can't do planks, they hurt my shoulders too much and I can't seem to keep my back straight, so I was modifying as I went. I must not have done my hardest because I wasn't sweating as much as I did during L1. Oh well...guess I'll work up through it.0

Whats the 30 day shredders????????/ I need all the advice in the world, i have a wedding to look hot for in April 15 pounds so all the help i need.....0

We are a group doing the dvd 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels, she's tough and so is the dvd but it's well worth it! You can find it at Walmart for roughly $9 or on Amazon.com for cheap too If you decide to get the video, feel free to join in Aside from the video, you will need light pound hand weights to start (like 2 or 3 lbs) and a mat if you are on a hard surface floor. I recommend easing into it with doing just 2 days the first week, then 3 the following and then from there, it's whatever you feel comfy with.0

Okay ... day 8 in the books
D8 9/26 - same weight
Heart Rate Max:153
Heart Rate Avg:118
Calories Burned:163
3lb dumb bells used on the squat / shoulder press ONLY otherwise upped to 5lb on the rest of weighted strength training.
Definitely ready for Level 2 ... but sticking out level 1 to the very end0 -
Just completed Day 3 of Level 2. I find the planks are pretty easy for me, but that whole squat with ' v ' raises thing gets me everytime. :grumble: Hope you all are still truckin' along!! I'm taking measurements Wednesday morning (which means I'm officially halfway :noway: Tuesday evening)...as soon as I get my measurements, I'll be sure to post them :drinker: Enjoy the rest of the weekend!!

ok, so, I jogged 5K this morning, but then went to a birthday party and ate 1000 calories of cr@p.
I am a tad over my calories already, at only 4PM, but I am sooo tired and feeling yucky from all the cake and chips I ate.
I don't know if I can bring myself to do Day 7....
Quick, someone tell me I HAVE TO.0 -
:grumble:
I did it. Not well, and I'm not happy about it, but I did it.
:grumble:0 -
Proud did day 7! Glad I got off my butt 7 days in a row!!! Keep it up ladies0

:bigsmile: I'm in!!0

Day 1 of Level 2 done. Wow lots of plank based exercises but I did okay. Sweated like crazy and was able to do the unmodified exercise more often than not.0

So Level 2 is a killer!!!! I was so proud of how well I was doing by Day 10 of Level 1 that I thought I would do better going into Level 2. . .apparently I need the 10 days to work up to feeling that good! I have Day 2 of Level 2 in the books as of this morning.
My new plan is to get up in the mornings and just get the Shred over with as I've slacked on a few days by not just doing it first thing! I'm really hoping with the weather getting nicer that I can get a walk in most evenings now too. Yesterday I walked 4 miles with my daughter. . .then my husband decided he wanted to go for a walk after supper, so we went another 2 miles and it was sooo nice!!! I really need to get a jogging stroller. . .
Good luck for the week everyone!!! :happy:0 -

I know what you mean I started Level 2 today also. I was able to do most of the stuff unmodified but dang I wasn't sure I was going to make it a few times. I do much better if I get it done in the morning. Since it's only 20 minutes I don't have to get up much earlier and it feels good to know I started the day right. It's easier to say no to the office snacks when I remember how hard I'm working to loose weight and get healthy.0 -
Day 8 done!
Sjyates and Texasgirl, I like the idea of doing it in the morning because I tend to push it off until I *don’t feel like doing it* and that is what happen yesterday ( Sunday) I pushed it until my lazy butt didn’t feel like it..but not today. I checked it off my list. I might do day 7 later today since I missed it ..but I am not going to stress about it if I don’t . That was the only day I missed since starting Last Monday.
2 more days until I start Level 2...so scared!
Happy shredding!0 -
L2D4 done, Day 14 in total. I can't do the jumping torso twist things b/c it's putting strain on my legs, so I'm replacing those with jumping jacks, otherwise I'm doing really well with it.0

BrunetteWife - is Level 2 getting easier??? We were on the same day at one point, but I got lazy and had a few days off. . .0 -
Day 8 done...
I have done level 1 five times and level 2 three times.
I have decided I am done with level 2. Just not gonna do it anymore. I will do level 1 some more, then try level 3, and probably alternate 1 and 3 till the 30 days is up.
I JUST DON'T like level 2. Period.
I don't burn as much or get my heart rate as high, and I don't feel like I'm working where I want to work. Level one had more of the soreness in the right spots. Level 2 I am only sore in the shoulders a little and that's it, and some of the moves really hurt my bad knee...
So, level one it is for a while before I try level 3...0
