    Week 2 already! It seems to have come around fast. I think I prefer having these 4 levels to the 3 in the 30DS - makes it a bit more interesting. And for those difficult exercises, you can always console yourself with 'only another 4 days or whatever, instead of 'oh no - another 9 days !!!'

    I took a day off after day 3, now i'm back in business, for days 4, 5 & 6, then another day off before week 2! 3 on 1 off seems to work for me and my aching bones/strained muscles. I really noticed a difference on the cardio today, lots easier on day 4, but still can't do push-ups on my toes, always drop back to the knees! Using 2kg for most of it now, only wimping out to 1kg on the side lunges and the lifting to the side- but i'm getting there! And burning about 400 cals a go- my heart rate is insane, was up to 200 at one point.

    Glad to know u guys are at it too!

    400 calories??!! I'm soooo jealous!

    Push-ups are a nightmare for me too, by the way,

    Okay I have logged today's workout but won't get to it until I get off work later. So everyone who has started Level 2 can you give some feedback so I know what to expect? I am looking forward to it hope its not too hard though.

    OK. Day 1 of Week 2 done. I'm sorry to report that I found it much more difficult than Week 1.

    I could NOT do the 2nd set of mountain climbers (arms hurt too much). :noway:

    And there is a strange twisty body thing that I didn't really get at all.

    BUT at least I got a good workout. :bigsmile:

    P.S. All done with lightest weights, btw.

    Day 1 level 2 done.....and so am I!!!! It. Is. Hard.

    Only sheer stubborness got me through, I was actually grunting at some points lol! My arms got shakey and I am sure i sweated more than I ever have in my life.

    I have no idea how i will get through level 3 & 4 if this is what level 2 is like.:grumble:

    Don't mean to scare you rach, but at least you have been warned so you can be prepared!!!

    Thank goodness it wasn't just me, phew! I did do half with the heavier weights, couldn't do the plank ones as they were rolling away and had to use the smaller hand weights and I thought i was going to smack my head in with the hold over the head so I just used the one heavier weight.

    Still no Ri30 dvd as of yet. Really annoying and frustrating but oh well. Today is the last day of my recovery week. I'm gonna own the days coming with the shred again. It is a setback but like they say, it wouldn't be a journey if there wasn't any setbacks. So, I'm gonna roll with the punches. ^^

    If you want to prepare for RI30- push ups! and lots of em.

    I'm doing day 6 of week 1 today, then 1 rest day before week 2, and now you've all scared me off week 2! I had a quick fast forward thru to see, all i cans say is, i hope it's not so bad at normal speed...!

    Day 1 of Week 2... WOW intense... i also used smaller weights (3lbs) and wasn't able to do all the tricep/squat things at the end.. i struggled with the mountain climbers as well, and those pushups with the knee... the one thing i actually did alright with was those renegade rows lol.. really hoping to see some improvement next time! will prob be sticking with the lighter weights this time..
