L1D6 complete. I slacked off yesterday and took a rest day. Today just blew my mind over what a difference a mere 5 days made in my endurance.
Not only did I do the shred today, I added in 20minutes of Zumba for cardio. I think I am going to try to add that in at least every other day. I really want amazing results and to get under 200lbs. Hopefully this will do it for me. Hubby says he already notices a difference. I think he's just being kind. :flowerforyou:
It does blow your mind on how just a few days can change your endurance. Its crazy!
Awesome job on adding in the zumba! I'm hoping to add in some elliptical time into my routine.
My husband told me he can tell a difference...so I figured id catch him in a fib and ask him where he's seeing the difference...so I thought he'd say everywhere because its the easiest thing to say. But he said he's noticed in my mid-section. So I believe him...even though I can't tell.
Keep up the great work!0 -
Ok Day 1 Level 2 is COMPLETE!!!!
I was so nervous about doing this level, BUT I LOVE IT!!!! It was hard, don't get me wrong. But I enjoyed it a lot more than level 1. I had to do the modified version on almost everything, but I could do the push up part on the planks at the begining! I also thought the cardio was easier. The abs exercises are hard but I can feel them working!! I am so glad I didn't talk myself out of trying level 2. I honestly thought about staying on level 1 the whole 30 days, but I am glad I didn't.
Great job to all of you are sticking to this!~! There is nothing we can't do that we put our minds to! Don't let fear or negative thoughts win...keep working hard!
Also...I increased my water intake a little today and it seems to have helped my fatigue!
Well I just finished level 1 today going to start level 2 tomorrow. Was also thinking about just staying on level one for 30 days! What am I getting myself into tomorrow? I am VERY nervous because my knees are killing me. But I am going to do it tomorrow! Wish me luck! Great job on pushing through it and doing it!
Great job on finishing Day 10!!! You can do level 2. I think it will be easier on your knees. I had to do the modified on most of the cardio that had modified movements, but you can certainly do it!! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I'm glad to say I'm very proud of myself for sticking with this! I am nervous but I know I will do it! Ill do my best and work at it everyday and be able to do moreveryday like I did with level one! I always look so forward to my workout. I also like the sore feeling because it let's me know I'm working hard...so hope to get some of that with today D1 L2!
You keep up the great work as well!!0 -
So, I thought that I would share this little NSV from last night. I am walking through the house last night in a t-shirt and pair of running shorts (that I thought fit a little better than the last time I wore them, but thought that it was just my mind playing a trick on me). My boyfriend says "hon...please don't take this the wrong way, but I can already tell a difference in your body since you started working out." I was so excited that he could tell a difference!! :bigsmile:
:bigsmile: It meanst that it is really working!!! Gave me the boost of confidence I needed to keep going.
Keep it up ladies!!
Way to go on the nsv!!!! I bet it feels great!
My first NSV I noticed the other day is my watch needs to have 1-2 more links taken out its starting to get really lose and sliding too much on my wrist I'm afraid it will scratch...but yeah the first NSV is nice
keep up the great work! 0 -
Finished Day 10 Level 1 yesterday and just finished Day 1 Level 2!!! Not as bad as I thought it would be but it was an awesomely sweaty workout haha!! But those planks sure are something else...geez!
Way to go on starting level 2! But now you have me nervous with all this plank talk! I can only do girly push ups...not ready for planks...but I will get through this!
But I myself love working out and sweating from it makes me feel so accomplished!
Keep up the awesome job!0 -
I got up this morning and completed D8L2!!! Yes, I went to Level 2, I just wanted to see how it was & I was motivated. It was a good change and I like the fact that I now have a greater challenge and something to look forward to. I burned a lot and the change beteween Level 1 & 2 is a good, smooth transition. I got on the scale just because I was curious and I gained 2lbs but my clothes fit a smig different?? I never got into measuring myself I usually go strictly by the scale but I'm seeing a difference. Good Luck everyone.0

Level 2 is not that bad and the modified versions of the planks is definitely doable. Your are going to get your workout in!!! Good Luck!!!0 -
Level 2 Day 1- I can do this, not a fan of planks but did manage to do some in the harder position
Yeah!!!!!!
Keep it up ladies!
I hate planks but these were not that bad, I'm referencing the modified version. I had surgery on my toes and they don't bend so I very cautious of what I do on and with my toes. It's a great challenge. Keep up the Excellent work!!!0 -

Wow. Everyone is doing so great. You all actually have me excited to get to level 2 now! Haha. Awesome job, everyone!
D7L1 complete.
A little easier today but didn't completely keep up the whole time. I'm feeling good though. My energy level seems to be higher today - even after my workout. Still having a pain in the middle of my back (behind my boobs) during all the jumping exercises. Maybe I need to get some better sports bras? And the back of my knee is a little wonky but neither of those things is gonna stop me!
Oh ya! And I lost 5.4 lbs in the last 9 days! I kept forgetting to weigh myself and figured I'd wait till day 10 but I thought about it this morning before I ate and went for it. This is the first time I've been under 220lbs for a long time.0 -
L1D6 complete. I slacked off yesterday and took a rest day. Today just blew my mind over what a difference a mere 5 days made in my endurance.
Do you think having the rest day helped?? I am curious if taking the odd day off would give more benefit than a straight 30 days.0 -

Dear Lord you girls must be fit,
just finished Day 1 level 2, i agree it a great work out, but some of those moves????? how did you get on with the one leg kick out thing, i was wobbling all over the place just managed 2 or 3 at a time before almost toppling over. I had to take my glasses off by circuit 2 because they were steamed up.
And don't get me started on the plank jacks, i know i have wobbly bits but to feel them almost hitting my ankles and then coming back to smack me on the back of the neck, not pleasant.
Ah well i still enjoyed it and what's more by the time i have done this DVD for maybe the 4th or 5th time hopefully nothing moves.
Have a happy Friday.

I SO have to agree with you.....they must be fit....I just got done with D1 L2...OMG...WTF was that? No easy transition huh? Ha! The leg kick out thing was very hard I was SO wobbly! And OMG ALL THOSE PLANKS!!!!!!! Geez! The one where you jump and twist your body...geez louise! I was SO dripping with sweat. I have starting taking off my glasses because the sweat gets all over them lol guess I know I'm working it! I will say this level seems a bit easier on my knees which have really been bothering me. This level makes me DREAD level 3! ha. At least I have 9 more days of this!
Great job for getting through it!0 -

I love your posts!!! You describe it soooo well!!! I struggle through all of these moves and have to do the modified movements, and also have to stop and get my balance. It is just great to hear others going through all this! I truly feel a difference already! Keep up the great work!0 -
Ok I don't know how but............ D1 L2 COMPLETE......that was REALLY hard for me anyway. Whew those moves yikes!!! I could hardly do jump rope let alone DOUBLE jump rope! Ha had to stick with Anita on that....although I was able to get through the whole jump rope session unlike last level!
Keep up the great work ladies!0 -

Level 2 is kicking my butt and I am also soaked with sweat!!! I think I just like these exercises more or maybe I was getting bored with level 1, I am not sure, but I like this level. Actually felt sore today after doing day 1 of Level 2 yesterday. Good job on getting it done!0 -
Day 2 Level 2 complete!!! Feeling it today and still doing modified movements but I am doing it!!!! Feeling great !!
Tomorrow is my rest day. Fridays are long work days for me and my body tells me it needs one rest day a week
I am sure I will still be on tomorrow night to check in with everyone! Keep up the great work everyone!0 -

I will agree I think I may have been getting bored with level one, even though I couldn't get through everything on level one...mainly push ups haha. But level 2 was WAY hard but I like the feeling of all the different exersizes. It's nice to work those different muscles. Excited for tomorrow!0 -
D7 L1 complete! I tried to do it last night, but I just felt sick and didn't really feel like throwing up on my living room floor. I can't wait to get to level2, I'm getting bored with level 1!
Also, does anyone notice a change in their measurements? According to mine, I have lost almost and an inch off each of my thighs! I'm not complaining, but that just seems like a lot to me in such a short amount of time.0 -
D9 L1 Complete. Tired. I only had 3 hours of sleep last night, but I managed to get through it.0

I think it did. I don't know if it was physical or mental though. I have read a couple threads here that say to have a rest day so your muscles can recover and my body felt way better after my little break.0 -
Day 8 level 1 completed. Man I get tired of hearing the same old dialogue. i tried it without the talking, but i don't hear the transition cues, so I don't go between things well enough. i will be glad to get to level2 for something new.0

L1D7 completed! I'm glad I only have 3 more days left. I am getting bored too.0

Lol!! That is the same way I felt so I turned on my radio! Your almost on Level 2, keep up the good work!!0 -
I did the modified version of the planks but I think it is fun to experience something new. My biggest problem is & always has been crunches. I know my form is wrong b/c I lift w/my neck & I end up getting a head ache. I truly have 2 work on that, any suggestions. I can do them great on the stability ball!! Have a Good Night!!0

Good for you! I know I would have backed out if I only had 3 hours of sleep. I know sometimes it is inevitable but try and get your rest. Hope all is ok.0 -

Hopefully it's kg!
Just finished day 10 - somewhat nervous about level 2 tomorrow. Today I did it with a stopwatch and decent music instead of the crappy background music in the DVD. So I added a bit longer cardio and some extra abs at the end. Although the down side was I had to look at my jelly belly instead of Anita's zero fat abs (***** lol)0 -
D2 L2 COMPLETE!!!!!!!!!!! My knees are hurting me SO bad they are keeping me from doing some of the exersizes to the fullest. But I pushed through and completed it! Sweat just dripping off of me!0
