L2D2 complete and i can admit it wasnt half as bad as yesterday so i think im going to enjoy the next 8 days
those chair sits with the v lifts are a killer, thats the only thing i didnt like, apart from that all is well apart from my quads, there still rock hard and well sore. hope i dont end up with footballers legs lol 0 -
Im using 2lb weights im a wimp! =] The chair sits with the v are the worst.... they kill my knees and im not sure why? maybe cuz my legs are together while sitting, not totally sure. The lunges are going ok, i just dont get as low into them and balance doesnt seem to be too bad when i do them that way. Glad to motivate but you guys are whats keeping me going as well! Love our little group!!!0

Its muscle girl, you got muscle 0 -
Hey all! Day 2 Ll 2 done. It was tough, some bits were harder than yesterday but I got through it. I don't think I'm going to like Level 2 the way I got to liking Level 1. Can you believe we've done 12 days already?!?! Woo hoo!
I have a wee question - are you guys taking rest days where you don't do any exercise except the shred? I've been doing lots of walking as well. I think I'm going to try and get through without only doing the shred. So pleased I haven't missed a day. 0 -
I did L2D2 today. It was exremely tough! Harder than I remember it yesterday..but yesterday I did it when I was still half asleep right after waking up.
Good for you!!! I am suspecting I could have a similar experience today but the point is, you got through it! How heavy are the weights you're using?
I use 3 and 5 pounds depending on the exercise. I was able to use 8 pounds (back and chest press) on a couple exercises in level 1 but that is not happening in level 2. I use 3 for most and I use 5 for bicep work (the lunge section).0 -
I completed L2D3--yeah NOT loving it...but I am loving it when I am done. It is hard and it takes everything I have to do it. But I am persevering thanks to his thread. I could not do this on my own. I am still a bit stiff and achy all over.0
-
L2D3 DONE!
Not loving this level either, now i see why it seems like every thread i read says they gave up in level 2. Haha I've came to far to give up now. 13 days guys we are almost half way done!!! Keep moving forward!0 -
Do people have a treat lined up for after the shred? It finishes on my birthday so reckon I should have a treat of some sort! Also, are people going to start from level 1 again or do something different? I know it is a bit early to ask but I just know we'll make it through to day 30. 0

arrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhh come back level one! all is forgiven!
Did L2d1 today and I think my poor arms and shoulders are going to be busted tomorrow. I think I broke my abs doing those oblique twisty jumpy things. I think I could quite get into it though. 100% committed to doing it, and I'm going to do it twice a day on two days as I want to 'graduate' to level 3 with all of you guys
Is it me or is it less intensive on the abs? Or is this just a horrible first day illusion and Ill be crippled tomorrow?
katrob - my treat is going to be a new dress for my sister in law's going away party. One that hopefully I'll feel confident in. Id love to feel happy showing my arms.
Im not sure what to do once we finish this... I might have a look round on the internet to see about that ripped in 30 one she does to mix it up a bit.0 -
Level 2 is a weird one because as hard as it is, other then the shoulders i dont feel like im getting as good of a work out. Probably one of those things where you are busting butt and dont realise it. We end on a monday, and the family and i are leaving for CA that friday so i planned to go back to level one and do it thru friday. Take the week off and then probably start another round of 30 when i get back but do a different level each day to really mix it up, as well as still ride my bike. I weigh in for WW friday so im looking forward to getting a sneak peak to see how level 2 is treating me! haha0

I was thinking exactly the same with the ab exercises but then again, the rest of the heavy work is meant to shift fat so the abs become more defined, heres hoping 0 -
I've been told by my doc to rest my leg, I have shin splints. :-(0

I bought Jillian's ripped in 30 and shred it with weights so I want to incorporate them when I am done. I might do ripped in 30 but maybe do 6 days per week per level and take 1 day off per week. But if it is all plank moves I know I will hate it...which I am guessing it probably has a lot of planks.. Therefore, I need to find another challenge to join by the time I finish this one otherwise I will tell myself I do not have to do it.0
-
I was thinking about having 1 week break but still continue with my gym workout 5 days a week then maybe start the 6 week abs dvd0

Im so glad that we are only at the half way point and already thinking ahead to what we'll do next! I however did not do Jillian at 6am this morning like usual. Baby woke up with my alarm and wanted to nurse. But this may do me good, Im less asleep and more focused it seems like when i do Jillian in the afternoon or evenings. Maybe it'll be better on my body too, been extremely sore, and not in my muscles. Maybe first thing in the morning my still from sleeping joints dont like level 2 waking them up!!!

Hi there, fine people.
Just checking in to see how everyone's doing - and, I see, you're sticking with it. Hurray! I was a a little ashamed to show my face because I didn't do it, and I was hoping to keep up with you guys. BUT, on the positive side, the reason I didn't do it is because I found a new fitness center that offers group classes and I tried Turbo Kick and sculpt for the first time.
It was great to get out of the house and be in the company of other people (extra motivation) and I think will help keep things fresh. What was cool about last night's class is that it had a lot of squats, lunges and other resistance moves with weights similar to the shred - so what i've been doing had prepared me. I was able to do the pushups and not feel like a fool and even though the lunges and squats were burning, I was up to par b/c of shredding. So, it's good news.
I think I'm going to try to stay with the shred, but will have to go at whatever pace works for me. Would love to finish with you guys, but no sense adding that pressure. It's all about staying motivated and doing what works. Keep rockin' it out guys - this is a great workout! 0 -

Everyone has to go at their own pace and if motivation makes you feel guilty that's totally not the way it should go! Feel proud of your successes!0 -
Ha! I know just how you felt this AM because I woke up and went right back to sleep. My body felt all achy. I feel better now and I need to do it before I go to bed tonight. But still not ready...UGH!!!! it is tough!Im so glad that we are only at the half way point and already thinking ahead to what we'll do next!

I did so so much better today having done it around lunch time! Some joints still ached a bit but much better. I think jumping right out of bed my joints are still asleep and dont like all the bouncing and jumping of level 2!!!0

Day 4 L 2 ysterday was starting to get more into level 2 but still not a fan. However... We're halfway through level 2 and HALFWAY through the whole shred!
I think we all deserve a huuuuuuuuuge pat on the back.
It has been tough so far and there have been days where I ahven't wanted to do it and the only thing which has kept me doing it was thinking of you all in the same struggle.
We're doing so well! Hurray! 0 -
Yay for the half way point and yay for the halfway point of the dreaded level 2!!! Excellent work ladies, your what keeps me going at it!!!0
-
Okay so I did not end up doing it yesterday. But I did it first thing this morning. I think I really needed the day break.
L2D4 completed! I may double up one day to catch up..but maybe note..depends on how I feel. I lost another pound though (3 total) and my clothes feel a little looser.0 -
great job rungirl!!!!0
-
L2 D5 complete and it was horrible, i didnt have any energy or incentive to do it so pushed myself all the way through, i cant give up cos we have came half way now feeling a bit low atm, TOM in next cpl of days and i feel so bloated and fat, i was even 3 lb heavier today with water retention and i hate it, felt like crying and stuffing my face but i didnt, only cos i was at work all day and couldnt lol. 0
-
Debi, it is rough but like you said, we've made it half way. I keep telling myself come day 30 it'll be worth it, right? I only lost half a lb this week.... its very frustrating. But L2D5 done as well.0
-
Argh girls, have had terrible two days. Seriously. If I were a racehorse, you'd shoot me.
Didn't do shred yesterday - went on two hour power walk, was going to do dvd after, then saboteur fiance cajoled me into watching movies all night. Did resist popcorn though so thats good.
I did it today and enjoyed it. Kept on swearing at Jillian though. I have to say I love level 2, because I'm seriously pushing to get through it. My fiance is back at work tomorrow (he does shifts) so I'm going to get up same time as him and do it before the kids wake. Then (and this is and aspiration not a promise ) I'd like to try it later in the day as well.
Like I said... its an aspiration...
Had a rubbish two days when it has come to food as well. Urgh.
Debi - Im in the same boat and fair play to you for pushing on - roll on day 30...!0 -
L2 D6 complete. Unfortunately when carrying the washing in from outside i kicked my little toe on a drain so hard i think ive broken and dislocated it. The pain is unbearable and my poor little toe is bright red and twice its size. I tried touching it to see if it was broken and it kind of moved right out to the size in a L shape!!!!! im now sitting here with a bag of frozen mixed veg on my foot and gutted i wont be able to exercise for a while
Had advice from net saying hospital wont be able to do anything and just need to tape it to a supporting toe and rest. This is sooooooo not fair i wanna cry :sad: 0 -
update. managed to do my housework with toes strapped together so hopefully will be able to do shred ok tomorrow0
