Week 2 check in

DAM5412

Hey, how is everybody doing with the second week? We had a lot of posters during week one, so where did everyone go?

I did day 3 of week two this morning and it kills my shoulders. I am really struggling through it, but keep going, even if I'm hanging with Natalie instead of Jillian, and Shelly would just kick my @ss.

Happy Monday peeps!

i am doing day 2 of week 2 tonight...it kills my shoulders too! i am only using 5lbs weights so far this week bc I don't want to hurt them. I am not a fan of this week tho and wish it was over already. haha

I have done 3 days of week 2 and took today to just do a walking workout. I have actually found that I need to go get some heavier weights as I only have 3 pounders and i am finally getting the upper body strength to bump up. Crow pushups kill me, but I always feel so strong when I get done with them. I am also doing a lot of modified moves...especially the pushups. I think my biggest issue with this week though is that my wrists get super sore with all of the floor work in this week. Overall though i am really enjoying this one a lot.

Day 2 of week 2 for me. It was easier but I'm still on modified form. The table tops are the most challenging move for me. Will see if I can master that by day 5.

Tonight will be my day 3 on workout 2. the Crow push ups are going to be the death of me. I also find the palms of my hands feel bruised from going renegade rows, I'll try using wash cloths for padding when I get to that exercise to see if that helps.

Attempted week2, just to see how it was, and the moves were too complicated for me to coordinate. I'm really awful at doing two things at once, my limbs start going in every which direction and I get all frazzled.

Decided to go back to week1, where I don't start flinging my arms and legs across the room during the warm ups.

I started ahead of most of you....but I didn't work out sat-mon.....so I am on day 6 of week 2. My wrists hurt and all the things (crow push ups, renegade rows, table tops) are all difficult to do but I pretty much use 5lb wts and do modified exercises. I will workout thru the end of the week and start week 3 next monday.

Week 2 is annoying! I can't do the crow pushup so I just do regular pushups. I don't get a good burn for the ab workouts so I do bicycle crunches or leg raises during that period. But I looove renegade rows! It's the epitome of strength! Week 2 is over and I should have started week 3 yesterday but I was sore sore sore from my last day of Week 2 plus an 11mi bicycle ride. Glad I checked in here though cuz its been a while and though I felt like I was losing my motivatuon, I'm now going to start day 1 of week 3! Thanks ladies!

Day 3 and getting better with the mat activities. Enjoy your day all!

I am a little ahead of the group, I just did level 3 yesterday for the first time, wow it was hard. I feel this video is much harder than 30 day shred!

TurboTam

I finished day 3 of workout 2 this morning. I had planned on doing it last night but the weather was so nice I ran bleachers with my daughter instead. I just want to get my week in so I can move on. I'll probably be saying this until it's over! LOL I like the changes in my body so I shouldn't complain too much!

I have had all kinds of breaks within the past 1.5 weeks due to travel and had to make due with what I could while away from the comforts of my home. I completed day 4 of week 2 today after a two day break and just feel so wiped out from this workout still. I burned a little less than I usually do so I am not sure what to make of it other than I was not pushing as hard as I could (although I did move up to 10lb weights for some of the exercises). I am undecided on whether or not to spend a few extra days on week 2. I will see after tomorrow's workout.

Still working on week one here...took a few days off to help my neck recover. I have osteoarthritis in my neck and have been out of alignment and in a lot of pain the last few days. Went to see my chiropractor yesterday and again in the morning and I should hopefully be able to move on to week 2 tomorrow. Did one again today and it seemed easier so I think I am ready for these scary crow push ups and other crazy moves you all keep talking about!

thanson563

I'm so far behind. I've missed a ton of time. I think I've only made it through Level One 4 or 5 times. The idea of Level Two terrifies me.

I have started alternating with C25K. I'm hoping that will help.

UGHH I hate week 2!! I thought week 1 was easy but I'm looking forward to finishing this week!!

katya_be

I am behind.. only on week 1 day 5 today! My daughter's 1st bday party took up all of my time.. plus I had a lot of gardening outdoors that took all my energy away I am not giving up and will keep pushing through! I am scared hearing of all the horrors of level 2... But I remember last month doing the 30 DS how everything will eventually be manageable

tmjdunn

Did Wk2D4 today and it is getting easier. I still hate the first carido circuit and will be very happy when I no longer have to do plank jacks and mountain climbers. I took a day off from all workouts yesterday and I think that helped as my wrists were less angry with me today. I really need to get my but to the store and grab some heavier weights though. My 3 pounders are just feeling too light. Excited to see what next week is going to bring.

DAM5412

Impressive ladies! What I'm reading is that no one finds it easy, but everyone is doing their best...and isn't that what Jillian wants?

Happy hump day!

rwieber

I agree...I think that even if you skip a few days, start right back up where you left off. It does get easier (especially past day 3 of whatever week you are on) . I haven't even peeked at week 3 yet. Maybe that's for the best. I will attempt it no matter how hard :-) I plan to start week 3 on Monday of next week. Great job to everyone!!! Keep it up!

Week 2 day 4 complete! It is getting easier--there's something about passing day 3 that gets my body accustomed to her madness. Enjoy your day all!

TurboTam

Week 2 Day 5 completed this morning. I upped my weights and holy cow, I thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest! Sweat was dripping off my face. I love it! But I'm still wanting to just move on! Great job everyone! This is a very hard workout!

Nomatterhowsmall

Not a huge fan of sore arms/shoulders that week 2 brought to me, but I am glad I stuck with it. Interested in what week 3 is like. I am going to do it after work this evening. I am definitely seeing a difference in my arms, legs, butt, etc but I did not take measurements before starting.

I like that they offer modifiers on most moves and think that doing the best you can is great! Half way through!

Day 5-survived! and happily leaving week 2 behind

rwieber

Today was my last day of week 2 (YAY)!!! Starting week 3 on Monday! Thank goodness.....although I must say after 9 workouts of week 2, I am definitely able to do the moves better than in the beginning! :-) Happy Friday!

DAM5412

I'm still on week two, tonight will be my 5th time, but so many others, I think I need to give it a few more run throughs before moving up to week three.

I am seeing results though and that is really very motivating!

tmjdunn

Didi my final week 2 workout today. I am super excited to start week 3. I am probably going to do walking workouts over the weekend and start week 3 on Monday. Excited to see what is next.

ChippleMunk

Hey guys! I'm on day 4 of week 2 now. I am feeling pretty good but have been struggling with my knees hurting and today during the sumo pose I felt my hip pop and am afraid I may have injured it. I really don't want to break my streak and finish the 30 days with only 1 rest day a week, but we'll see. I am even doing weekly progress photos! I have a few other friends doing the workout And we all stay motivated and accountable by sending each other post sweaty work out selfies! It's been great!

ChippleMunk

I felt the same way and almost gave up, but then realized the more I try, the more I'll get the hang of it. Like jillian said perfect is boring and it is all about the effort you give. I'm on day 4 and all my moves are still modified and I still can't do a few things. But I attempt to do them correctly each time and if I can't manage it I do something similar. (Example: god awful crow push ups, I usually just do push ups or bring legs forward but cannot manage to bend my elbows at the same time )

hmrey76

i totally dropped the ball on week 2 last week. I am starting it over today!! I think I like 1/8 of this weeks workout. haha

My workout space is a little too cramped for the week2 workout. I'm gonna re-do it a second time and see if I get any ideas to adjust it to fit, 'cause I'm worried week3 is gonna involve even more movement that doesn't fit.

Disappointing, since week1 was doable.

My workout space is a little too cramped for the week2 workout. I'm gonna re-do it a second time and see if I get any ideas to adjust it to fit, 'cause I'm worried week3 is gonna involve even more movement that doesn't fit.

So I just did Wk3D1 in a pretty cramped space and i can tell you that is you can make week two work you should be able to do week 3. I had to make sure I was using short strides on the first strength set, and I always have a space issue on the ab moves that have us laying with both our arms and legs extended so i usually end up bending my arms instead of keeping them straight. What specific moves aren't fitting well. Maybe we can help you brainstorm some modifications.
