Level 2 day 13 done14 done. Man I am a hot sweaty mess after doing level 2, lol!! I can really feel it in my arms, shoulders, and back. I am hoping maybe I can start getting my lower arms toned and get rid of some of the flab! And when I sneeze my abs hurt, hopefully that means it's working!! Thanks for everyone for being so dedicated and motivational on here. You girls all rock!!!0

I finished Level 2 Day 10 yesterday. I hate those v-raise things at the end, and I say unkind things to Jillian when she makes me get down for the oblique plank twists. I sort of wonder if those are doing me any good, given how ridiculously bad at them I am!0

30DS Day 12- L2D2
Did better today now that I actually know the moves.
I don't find the plank positions too hard. It's probablly because I'm short so I don't have as far to go.
I'm messing up on the forward/backward lunges a lot. Hopefully by the end of this level my coordination will improve.
Happy to say my balance is better- I thought the military leg lifts would throw me off but I only had to stop once to get my balance...all that time pretending to be the Karate Kid when I was little has finally paid off!
V-lifts- ouch. All there is to say.
I was rolling in sweat at the end, but now I don't feel sore at all. I don't know if I'm getting used to it or if I just need to push more.
Correction:
I -thought- I wasn't sore. But I decided to be a really good girl and do all my Weekly challenge this morning too.
After that...ow ow ow. I must have just been swimming in endorphins.0 -
As weird as this sounds you lady's talking about level 2 are getting me excited to be done with level 1... today will be day 8 so almost there. :bigsmile:0
-
Question... Do you move on to level 2 on the 10th day or the 11th day?0
-
Wow, L2 sounds awesome! No sarcasm there, I'm actually looking forward to it! I'm a fan of plank moves because I can always really feel them and I find them very rewarding. You all should be proud of yourself for powering through L2!!! :flowerforyou:
L1D9 complete! The shoulder moves are still killer for me!
I'm very grateful for a fantastic DVD like this one when it's so HOT AND HUMID outside!0 -
Hi everyone! I'd really like to join this group if thats ok. Im on L1D10!0
-
I think it's designed that you do 10 days on each level-so day 11 was my 1st day of level 2.Question... Do you move on to level 2 on the 10th day or the 11th day?
But if you feel up to it, skip forward- you'll just do an extra day of level 2 or level 3.0 -
The more the merrier!Hi everyone! I'd really like to join this group if thats ok. Im on L1D10!
And more to keep me accountable. I was so rushed first thing today I thought...I could skip it or do it later....
Then I thought of all of you and kicked it into gear. Having a group doing it with you really helps!0 -
L2 D3 done!0

Those v-raises are the worst!! I question if I'll ever be able to follow Natalie on that move. So many abdominal muscles are aching on level 2. I see it as progress - I'm rediscovering long-forgotten muscles.
Even doing deep squats and lunges, I'm not big changes to my hips and rear. I started paying attention to food more, so maybe I'll drop some inches soon.
Keep it up ladies!0 -
D13L2 Done... I'm finally starting to feel some improvement. Hopefully I can keep it up. The ab moves aren't so bad, but it's all the plank moves and those V raises... However, if it were easy it wouldnt be a very good work out!
Stay strong everyone, you're doing a great job!0 -
Finished day 13 L2. I am still struggling with the plank moves but I have almost everything else down at least most way. I don't use weights for the second set of V raises since apparently I have never used that muscle before, but I am getting nice and deep into my squat. I can't believe how much more I sweat in L2 than L1, but maybe its just because I can push myself harder now.
I can't aruge with results though. I have lost 6 pounds since starting. I try to remember that when I feel like giving up. One more day and then I have to take a couple days off cause we are going camping. But I commit to getting right back at it when I have a tv again.0 -
I've got a long lunch today so once a I let my food settle another 15 minutes or so I will get into gear and get today done. I've decided to go ahead to level 2 so today is D10L2. I will take measurements tomorrow morning before doing D11 and post my results for the first 10 days. I'm also doing an hour long pole dancing into class tonight with a friend... seems like it should be a good time, but we will see lol.0

Day 13 Level 2 completed.0

Completed D9L1 and D10L2 today. Wowsa...enough said!!!0
-
Day 11 done. First L2 for me. I agree with several of you...the V raises...ouch. And the plank moves are tough for me, particularly towards the end. I'm looking forward to improving on those though. Makes me miss L1! Lol!!!
Great job to all!0 -
I should just watch the video, but does anyone have a photo of the v-raises, what are they? I tried finding it on youtube, but couldn't :-/0

Finished L1 today! Starting L2 Monday!...who knows, maybe I'll find the motivation to actually start it at work. We'll see.
ShellyLee, those are AWESOME results! Yayayyaya!0 -
Last night I completed D10L1! I almost thought I wasnt going to be able to do it because we had a bunch of family come over last night, but even though they left at 10, and I had to be up at 530 this morning, I still pushed my way through it. I was way too excited about being done with Level 1 to skip a day!
Going to do my first L2 workout after work today! Wish me luck!0 -
Finished Day 14 L2. I have the next two days off because we are going out of town, but I will be back at in on Monday. Keep it up everyone!0
