I got my Shred done this AM, I am back to loving the before work, workouts!
Today was Level 2, Day 3 for me (13/30). It went by really fast.
I'm still using 3# weights, and doing most of the moved in the modified way. I try to do the Plank Hops and Plank Jacks in the regular way for the first 10 then I do a few modified, then I see if I can do a few regular. Oh and I do the Skaters in the Modified way. I am having a much harder time moving to the regular in this round, I'm beginner all the way, haha~
How is everyone doing in this round? I'm definitely liking less jumping jacks.0 -

Good for you! Those plank hops and jacks are so hard! I haven't even yet tried to do them the real way. I'll be shredding in a few hours, right before lunch time.0 -
I am on day 9 tonight and I still do the plank hops in the modified version. Other than that I try to stick with Natalie but its hard! It does get easier though, I do not get as tired and sweaty as I did on day 1 of level 2. I can't wait to move onto level 3 and then hopefully I can start Ripped in 30 in May

I am still a day behind. I am having knee issues. I plan to go get some braces, but have not made it yet. I am currently sticking to the modified moves. I think all the jumping jacks did a number on me from Level one, so I typically do the twist things when she says do jumping jacks.
The skaters are my favorite move in this workout. I hate the thing where you stand on one foot and lift it while pressing the weights. I didn't like the squat and press from level one either though.
I too am using 3lb weights. They are all I have and just have not bothered buying more, but I do have a set of two pound weights I guess I could hold both.
I do find that each day Jillian gets under my skin a little more. She gives so much praise to Natalie when Anita (I think) has great looking abs. Oh well just a personal problem I know, but I have to listen to her so I know what is next. :ohwell: I guess if that is the only issue I have I am doing ok.0 -
Today is done, and my calming bit of yoga afterward. It is getting a little easier, but the oblique twists are killer for me. The only way I can get through them is to count while I do them. Mind over matter, I suppose. My strength is getting better which is encouraging, and I just feel better overall. 0

Day 16 done! Does any one else feel like level 2 works your upper arms and back a lot more then level one?0

Completed today but I'm 2 days behind from taking the weekend off.
I'm loving the fact I can get into the plank position, before I started there was no way I could hold a plank let alone moving my legs while holding a plank!0 -
Oh my gosh- I can't wait to get to level 2. I took a few days off for a cold and I can't wait to try the new moves. This is motivating me to get moving again! Thanks ladies 0

YES!!! My shoulders are on fire!!! I'm on day 6 of level 2 and I'm counting down the days to Level 3... I don't know why, I'll probably be thinking she's definitely trying to kill me by then!0 -
Done for today....I keep waiting for it to get easier, but it hasn't! I'm following Anita all the way. 0

Good for you! Since I shred at night, I'll be doing it later this evening and hopefully I can make it through two rounds. I am trying to be proactive since I might miss a day or two this weekend (driving 8 hrs to another state on Friday night and another 8 hrs back home on Monday).
Yesterday was a struggle! I had a potluck at work for lunch (and I brought in two massive & delicious meatloafs...the theme was comfort food, GO FIGURE...woof) and then took my sister-in-law out to dinner for her birthday. Needless to say, I was feeling super heavy and sluggish while shredding. But then I followed up by doing the elliptical for 40 mins (to work off some of those extra calories). I still "gained" a lb this morning but I'm hoping that I'll be back to where I was tomorrow. I haven't lost ANY weight so far doing the shred and that's so frustrating. I'm going to focus on eating better for the rest of the 30DS b/c I know I don't eat THAT bad, not to lose anything doing both 30DS and either elliptical or Zumba Core everyday! :grumble:0 -

YES...my upper back is usually hurting by the time I finish doing all that plank work in Level 2. I don't even feel it in my core or legs...when I'm in the plank position, no matter the move, my upper arms and upper back are on fire.0 -
hopefully I can start Ripped in 30 in May
This sounds like an excellent plan. Is anyone else interested in starting a "RIpped in 30" Support Group challenge in May? I'm in for sure!0 -
Did mine this morning!0

I'm in. 0 -
I was also concidering ripped in 30 for May as well:)0

Did it! I went back to level 1 day 7 in order to get back in the groove (and because I'm still not 100% over this stupid cold). Feeling good for not quitting- even if I am behind- and looking forward to tomorrow 0

Done with Day 16! Today was pretty brutal again. I hope Level 3 has more tricep specific exercises. My biceps and shoulders feel so overworked!0
