Finshed day 21 (level 3 day 1) ... and I thought level 2 was hard. Ugh!
NNNOOOO!!!!!! Lol0 -
Hey, don't worry! I've just done day 2 of level 3, and it seemed a lot easier than the first day. There is one exercise that I will probably never be able to do to advanced level, but generally I'm now feeling positive. I'm also getting rather nice, shapely arms, although I say it myself! :bigsmile:
Note to self: That was day 22.0 -
Day 19 level 2 done, just tomorrow left and then onto level sacrey mary, eeek!!!
I really went for it this morning, as strangely had loads of energy after the housework, I burnt more calories than usual!?! Oh and sweated more than usual lol!
Level 1 got easier as the days passed, Level 2 has been up and down, some days ok others hard. Lord knows what level 3 will be like, i haven't even had a peek.0 -
L2 D7 done.
Eeeeeeeeeep.0 -
first day of level 3 done for me. i think i enjoyed it more than level 2. certainly a few killer moves in there - at times it was like the sweat was flowing from a tap! lol. most certainly had to follow anita for a few of the moves and think i took a couple of mini breaks but there were plenty of moves i managed ok. i'd maybe go as far as saying it wasn't as bad as i feared. once i learn the moves better over the next few days i'll maybe change my mind a bit but so far so good.
21 down, only 9 to go!! :happy:0 -
Day 23 done (day 3 of level 3).
TAKE HEART EVERYBODY! I was just getting ready to start when my partner said "Are you doing that girly dancing around again?" That was it - I FORCED him to do it with me! Now bearing in mind that Steve thinks of himself as reasonably fit, he really brought shame on himself; bright red in the face, huffing and puffing, swearing like I've never heard him swear before, collapsing in a heap, blaming the mat, blaming the weights - it was absolutely hilarious! I felt really good, doing my traveling push-ups next to a sobbing wreck on the floor. And later, he actually said those words a woman longs to hear: "You are fitter than I am". My life is now complete.

Hahahahaha! Message passed on. Actually, I said to him earlier "would you like to join me in the workout this evening?" and he pretended to think about it then replied "Uh, no, I don't think so". Enough said. :laugh:0 -
Just finished Level 1 Day 6! I didn't think I'd stick with it, so I'm happy that I have

Finished day 22 (level 3 day 2). I think level 3 was a bit easier today. Hubby is still doing the shred with me (has been since day 10).
I'm curious ... how heavy are the weight everyone uses? Mine are 3 lb weights. Hubby's are 5 lbs each.0 -

Day 24 polished off. Starting to wonder what I'm going to do after day 30 (after I've had a rest, that is). Have got a weight training DVD; maybe that. Any other ideas?
How is everybody's body looking? I can deffo see some changes on the arms, and now have much smaller abdominal region, and then kind of generally everywhere really, although I'm not sure my measurements have changed much.
Oh, and I use 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) weights for some things, and 3 kg (6.6 lbs) for a few easier things (that's all the weights I've got).0 -

How about Ripped in 30?! I've been thinking of getting another of Jillians dvds, just not sure which one.
My arms are looking good, legs ok, as for mid section i'm just not seeing any difference...well a little but the jelly belly is not shifting and it's not attractive and certainly doesn't resemble anything like the 'before and afters' i've seen in other peoples results. Oh well, another 10 days might make some more difference....i hope!0 -
Hi everyone, I'm new to this topic and to be totally honest feel so intimidated. I did day 1 today and found it so tough! I found the cardio really difficult and I can't do a pushup to save my life! So L1D1 finished... lets see how I feel tomorrow.
My one question is, do you do this every day or do any of you take days off in between. When I have done workouts in the past I know it can be easier to do it everyday, but I often burn myself out going from nothing to 5 days a week, I'm like a binge excerciser. I over do it then do nothing for months!

Hello and welcome!! You might find day 3 rather hard, it seems to be a toughie for most then it gets easier, by day 10 you'll be fine...just when you're feeling good level 2 drags you back to the OMG-this-is-so-hard feeling!!
I've taken 3 sundays off, 2 due to going out the night before and yesterday i fell asleep for 5 hours!! Didn't intend taking rest days they just happened.0 -

Great job on finishing the first day! I do it almost every day, but skip either Saturday or Sunday (not both!). I also missed one Monday due to a migraine, but otherwise, it's been 6 days a week for me.0 -

Welcome, Emma.
I find push-ups really difficult too. But do what you can and keep going; you will be surprised by how your body develops after a while.
I have had just one day off out of 24 so far, because I was away from home that day. However, that's me - I'm an 'all or nothing' type of person. Arguably, it might be better for your body to have rest days.0 -
Finished day 23 (level 3 day 3).
I take Sundays off.
My plans when I complete the 30 days are to do another 30 days of the Shred, this time doing 2 days of level 1, 2 days of level 2, and 2 days of level 3 per week.0 -

Thanks for that - I went and read the reviews and ripped in 30 does come out very well, so I've ordered it!0 -
Thanks for all the support, so I have just finished day 2 level 1 and I think someone broke into my house last night and swapped my weights for much heavier ones!! I found today a bit easier than yeasterday. I still really struggled with the pushups and the cardio (especially in the middle rep of cardio) but my arms BURNED today!!
Tomorrow I have plans after work so I will try and drag myself out of bed early and do this before work tomorrow morning!!0 -
Day 21, first day of level 3 done...walking push ups??? OMG!!! I sweated like a piggy with this, what are they called, Rock jumps? Hmm, i really can't get that high off the ground. Jeeeze the next 9 days are going to be, um...tough!!
I had a look at my before photos compared to ones i took today and was surprised to see the difference, I say surprised but more like SOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:0 -
Just done day 25. I simply can't do the last cv routine at advanced level (the one where you balance planks on the weights then lift arms & legs), so I do half at advanced then half at beginner's level. But otherwise, it's going great now. I'm so pleased I decided to do this - I feel and look better without question. And bravo to everybody else for working at it.
To mehs04, respect to you and your hubby for doing it together.
Carteremma - well done, and keep going. You won't regret it.
And skinnyinnotime, you see! You see! I'm so pleased for you. Level 3 does get easier, don't worry.0 -

Yeah those are tough too, I was a quivering wreck with those! I kept thinking my weights would break lol!
What's everyone else doing after this? I can't decide between Ripped in 30 and No More Trouble Zones - was also considering 6 pack in 6 weeks!0 -
just did my first day of level 3. after watching the video first, i was so intimidated and afraid to do it. then i ate some more pizza and knew it was time.
it was tough for me. the traveling plank push-ups were difficult, and it really hurt my hands and wrists to lean on the weights for that other exercise that everyone's complaining about :P
glad i did it though! i just took new pictures and i definitely see an improvement, especially from the side view. before 30ds, my tummy stuck out almost as far as my boobs -- now it's retreated a bit further back! aha! i still have a lot to lose and i was hoping for more dramatic results, but i still have the rest of level 3 and i'm really impressed with myself for sticking it out this far

I don't think I even want to know about the last CV routine on level 3!
once I complete this dvd I will be close to my vacation (I leave on August 13th to go back home to the US)
I had planned to start shred-it with weights as I downloaded that one and 6 pack in 6 weeks at the same time as the 30DS (itunes had an offer) but since I will be at home, think I will buy ripped in 30 and try to start that from the US0 -
Finished day 24 (level 3 day 4). Feel like I'm on the home stretch.0
-
day 6 level 2 done- some things better, had trouble (again) finishing the last ab exercise as my left bicep kept cramping/ spasming- so I had to stop for about 2-4 secs twice- - I then did about 30 seconds or so of bicycle crunches to help make up for it a bit- I feel like my legs are getting stronger, my arms are stronger, crunches are less difficult - so all good things!0
