Weighed in this morning and I am down 6lbs since starting 30DS!!! Level 2 Day 1 tonight!
That's AWESOME!!!! :bigsmile:0 -
Day 11
Level 2 / Day 5 Complete
My breathing is a lot more controlled now. I'm getting better with my plank positions and form in general. This level was exciting at first but I'm starting to get bored.
I'm gonna keep at it though.
Funny that you're getting bored, I'm having a blast with this one, so much more fun then Level 1! If you jump ahead, don't tell me what's in store!
ROCK ON!

I was having a blast as well but I'm noticing a trend where I get bored around the 5th day. But I'm going to try to stick it out for the full 10 days with Level 2 though.
In order to deal with my "boredom", I decided to do Jillian's Banish Fat Boost Metabolism DVD. THIS WAS INTENSE!!! It was a challenge from start to end--but completely "doable". I'm going to try and squeeze this one in at least 3 times a week. I'm really lovin' this workout.0 -
Completed L1D8 today. Wow, I'm finding it's getting harder. My one calf muscle is hurting like no one's business which is making it really hard to do the cardio and leg stuff. I'm also doing the C25K thing and swimming/jump roping when I feel like it, which I'm sure all contribute to the pain. It's been gogogo for me for the past 12 days with my workouts, so I think I'll have a rest on Sunday xD I'll see how I feel, but I don't think I can ignore this pain any longer, since it's been a week =/0

Is that her workout that requires Kettlebells? Tell me a little bit more about it. Is is done in circuits?0 -
Day 17 done! Nothing exciting to report Jillian-wise, I DID have my own lifting this morning and was able to increase my weight on my shoulders. Considering that's my weakest body part, I was pretty excited!

This one isnt with the kettlebells but it is done in circuits.
It has a warmup (5 minutes) followed by seven 6-minute circuits (42 minutes) and ends with a cooldown (5 minutes). Its really worth checking out. I love her circuit method.0 -
Day 12
Level 2 / Day 6 Complete
I hate plank twists...and thats all I have to say about that...0 -
Ok ladies, I skipped a day 4 of level 2 last night. I getting ready to bust it out though, then I'm gonna try and do day 5 tonight. I'm not sure I can do both of them in way day but I am certainly gonna try!0

I'll have to check it out. I already agreed to do another 30 DS with a bunch of friends starting Sept 1st, but after that, I'm up to trying anything. And yeah, I'm giggling :laugh: at you and the plank twists - LOVE THEM!!!0 -
has anyone tried the 6pack in 6 weeks? I've just ordered that one so am going to do it with the 30 DS or am I being too ambitious?0

I did level2 day 2 last night and it was harder than day 1, I was sweating like a pig but I definitely feel like I've gotten stronger. I struggle with the squat thrusts and plank jacks but the jumping jacks are almost easy to me now and on Day 1 level 1 I was winded on them . I am getting stronger and I will finish this. I wish I could say that I've lost weight but I haven't just focusing on NSV's right now. I know the scale is not the only barometer so I will focus on getting fit!!!!I'm so glad to know I have the support of this awesome community. Keep shredding everyone!!!!0

nice! I'm also on L1D4 today. It's getting much easier, I must admit. I'm also using only 1 lb weights, because I'm constantly carrying the baby around and need my arms intact. I can still feel my arms burn, though, also I can see my body slowly starting to shape up and I'm loving it!!0

@foremant86 - I find her encouraging! Toward the end of Level 1 I started turning it down, just so I didn't keep hearing the EXACT same thing, but I think she helps actually.
@lbtewksbury - Same here. I'm not really thinking as much about pounds. In fact, that's one of the things I have on my mind today.
I moved on to Level 2 today, and found that just as I had expected, I had to take more breaks than I did on L1D10. More breaks, more worn out muscles, and inability to finish the sets. I realize that that is supposed to happen. It seems pretty intuitive that one reason that L1 had gotten easier for me was "muscle memory" - which is one reason why the circuits/levels are effective.
Go Team August!!0 -
I can honestly say, that my arms feel thin today! (how weird is that as a statement, but yet, it's oh so true) I think my abs feel tighter, and my chest feels lifted.
ROCK ON!!! 0 -
Hey all, checking in. Due to travel I managed to skip a lot of days, so I think I will be restarting the program today on L1D1. Feel kinda bad about it, but better to restart than to give up, right?0
-
Started level 2 today. I even have a sore throat, but pushed through! It challenged my arms and they are stronger than my legs. Was planning to do my toning ball workout right after (Firm Fat Burning Sculpting Ball video- my absolute fave), but my arms were shaking a bit. I was pretty surprised at how much I was sweating! I hit the elliptical instead.
Planks are not my best move, so I have lots of work to do!0 -
wasn't able to do day 2 level 2 this morning but got it in tonight... my thighs are sore and have been from day one.. i haven't noticed any results BUT i'm' feeling good so thats a result in its self i guess...
anyhow everyone, great job sticking with the program we are almost half way there!0 -
Weigh-in for Level 1....
I weighed myself before starting Level1 @ 207.2lbs, but then went up to 210 a day or so after. Weighed myself after Level1 @ 202.8.....
Lost 7.2lbs during Level 1. Or 4.4lbs if you don't count the gain I had during it. Either way, I'm happy
Not doing measurements until after all 30 Days are up.0 -

Day 18 L2D8 DONE!!! I'll honestly say, this was one of the harder days. I'm feeling yesterday's lift session, and before doing 30DS, I ran 6 miles at a good pace. Needless to say, I was sore and spent before I even put the DVD in. I ACTUALLY felt nauseous:sick: when I was finished. I did have someone tell me that my shorts were getting baggy in the legs - yea me!!!
Rock ON! 0 -
Oh WOW...L2D1 just completed. I sweated so much through this one...I will be excited on L2D10 when I can do all of the sets without falling over. Some of the simple moves always through me at the beginning but the more difficult ones I find easier. Go figure...0
-
Good Morning.... I didnt log on yesterday but I did do L2D2 yesterday before going to meet up with some friends. I am sweating alot more in this level but I do like it. I am doing the easier moves for now and I do have. some soreness in my shoulders. I need to do D3 today, but I messed up and drank last night and feeling a little rough today. Also I ate terrible yesterday. I had no interest in food yesterday. I had a begal in the morning and some trial mix for lunch and that was it. Gotta do better today.0

level 2 day 3 completed and i http://www.hundredpushups.com/index.html challange to my routine..
hope your all having a good day..0 -
D3L2 done today. I had to take yesterday off. I wasn't feel too well the last part of this week and think it was because of too low of a daily calorie intake mixed with the early morning wake ups to do my workout. I have now increased my daily consumption number to losing 1 pound a week and back on the workout train. It was rough jumping back into level 2 after a day of rest but I feel great now again. I'm nearing my first mini goal so I'm staying focused. Rock on ladies.0
-
L2D3 complete..... I am feeling better than this morning. I am starving today (most likely for not eating yesterday and drinking last night) I weighed myself yesterday morning and was up 1.6 lbs,,,, UGH0

Good afternoon Team August!
I hope everyone's hanging in there!
Finished L2D2 this morning. This workout is heck on my shoulders and calves! I can't wait to build up some strength..0 -
On day 12 here. I've been doing level 2 for 4 days now and I haven't seen any major improvement in my fitness so far. By day 4 on level 1 I at least didn't feel like I was dying by circuit 3. Hoping to feel a difference by day 6 of level 2.
Seems like I am still shrinking, though! Seeing the scale slowly dip a tenth of a pound every couple of days. I need to stop weighing in as much. Inches are still coming off, too. This has been a great kickstart for me!0 -
Wowzer. Level 2. Panting and sweating! Did not like the double crunch, couldn't do it (how do you keep your legs together! lol I look like *kitten*). Otherwise, was okay! I managed to go through all the cardio without stopping (maybe once) and I did the planking okay too! Surprisingly did okay!0
