    I did Level 2 Day 2 today! Yeah! triceps and shoulders are screaming- in a good way! :)

    Now the bad news- I think I strained my thumb doing all those planks and the table thingies. I don't want to stop but I don't want to hurt it worse- any ideas what I could do? Going to ice it and rest it tonight, but it hurts! I can't take ibuprofen either right now because I took too much at the beginning of the shred and started having ulcer-like symptoms. Any ideas how to make it better fast or modify so I can work around it? It only hurts if I put pressure on it and bend it back somewhat.

    you could try doin all of the plank moves on your handweights to give you some elevation off of the floor, OR off of the table like Courtney is, OR off of the wall for the non cardio moves and just keep moving (run in place, high knees, buttkicks, whatever) for the plank cardio stuff!!! hopefully tomorrow it will feel better and you can figure something out! good luck and good job pushing through today!

    This is essentially how I do all of the plank moves:

    except instead of a bench I use my coffee table. There is way less pressure on your hands/wrists this way.

    As for relief I would google hand massage and try that.

    L2D4 and I sweat more today than any other so far.

    Tara- We both like it better. He says that it is more intense. I feel like I am seeing more tone quicker than with the shred.

    NSV last week: I fit in pants that I have not worn in 2 and a half years! I am at least 1 size down so far.

    Sorry for my lack of posting - it's been a rough weekend. I am finished level 3 but now haven't continued on to level 4 today (yesterday was my rest day, today should have been day 1 of level 4). I had to deal with some emotional issues this weekend, not to mention my lack of sleep and soreness, plus being away from home almost the whole weekend. Now at 11 pm I can't bring myself to do it, and I have to wake up early tomorrow. It will be my first day of classes, and therefore back to routine, which means I WILL get it done, I'll just need an extra day. I was pretty ashamed to admit I missed a day (even though I know it's not the end of the world and none of you will judge me :) ) but I'm really excited to see what L4 has in store for me tomorrow! Great job to everyone who's still in this! But the thread seems oddly quiet lately! Maybe I'm not the only one who had a crazy weekend :smile:

    Des-it happens girl! sorry to hear that your weekend was less than par, but the important thing is that you finish what you started, 1 day later is nothing! let me know what you think about L4 tomorrow....and I have a feeling that maybe only 3 or 4 of us left will be finishing still!

    And i think that it may only be Me, you, Jenn, and Courtney left in this little challenge! YIKES!

    I didn't get lost guys!!! Sorry I went MIA. I hate L3 and have been making excuses to myself for skipping. I know I shouldn't. I've still been running 4.5 miles day, just not ripping like I should. But . . . back on the wagon today so here we go!

    Hi guys...I have been missing in action for a while. RI30 is very challenging but IK decided to change my routine a little bit. I went back to my local gym and started doing steps and sculpting class twice a week, then I added doing JM's No More Trouble Zones twice (if I am lucky, 3x) per week too. So I am updating your list and removing my name :-( but I will still try to poke my head in once in a while to see how you are all doing.

    Okay... L4 is tough. But it is more confusing than hard!! The moves are weird! I felt like a ballerina half the time. And JM gets a bit crazy (crazier?) Honestly... I think L3 was harder, even on the last day. And my calorie burn was WAY higher in L3!
