    Okay..I may be crazy, but I don't think Level 3 is kicking my booty as much as Level 2 did? And I'm stuck again at the same weight for about a week and 1/2...actually I went up 2 ounces...I'd rather go down 2! :smile: Soooooo....is anyone else experiencing this too?????

    I felt the same way that is part of the reason I liked level 2 the best. My weight actually increased while doing level 3 despite really watching calories. I'm hoping it is just an adjustment to my metabolism. I'm going to try the zig zag thing next week and make sure I'm eating my exercise calories. Body Fat is down below 20% so it may be just those last nasty pounds are going to be hard to get off.

    Thanks so much! I think I'm goign back to Level 2...I might start doing Level 2 and then add Level 3 on a couple of days a week....I DESPISE Level 1...if I never do that Level again, I'm okay with it! :happy: Let me know how your zig-zag goes...I'd love to know your results! ~M~

    I did level 2 again today. I do like it better than 3 also. And if you really like 2 but want to bump it up a notch, you could just us light hand weights durring some of the cardio-like they do in level 3. And now that I know it well, I always get a few more reps in while Jill is explaining the move. I have also muted Jill and been using my own ipod for music. But I have yet to try level 2 followed by level 3.

    Good point Kimono - I've even considered ankle weights for more burn.

    Mickie - it has taken me all week to figure this zig zagging thing out. I will start in earnest next week plus I ordered a HRM so that I can more accurately track my exercise calories. Hopefully the combination will start the scale moving again. If not I'm going to focus on inches and % body fat for awhile.

    I'm thinking about the HRM....please keep me posted on how that works for you. :happy: I agree, adding weights helps, and, :happy: , I sneak in extra reps too!!!! I think Jillian would be so proud of us to know that! :laugh:

    Great job ladies!!! Duffy, Kimono and Mickie, I think you are ready to do two levels. Challenge yourselves!!! :drinker:

    I did all three levels this morning, 610 cals burned. What I do is to increase the weights. I would not use ankle weights, too stressful for your joints. I also do more reps of the exercises while she is explaining something. I also wear my IPod so I am dancing and moving the whole time.

    This is the second week of zig zagging and I really think it has worked for me. I like doing it. I love variety. I have a hard time on low days but I know I will get to eat more the next day so I hang in there...:laugh:

    Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!! :flowerforyou:

    I've never done level 3 by itself. I always lose weight when I shred consistently (every other day), two or three levels at a time. :flowerforyou:

    Great job Mickie!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: See!! That's what I'm talking about!!! :laugh: Yes, I've never done the shred video every day, even if you are lifting light weight you have to give your muscles at least a day of rest. You can do some other kind of exercises on the days you are not shredding. For example today I did 35 mins on the stationary bike and 40 on the treadmill, intervals. Today is a high calorie day for me so I wanted to do a long cardio session. :noway: :laugh:

    Thanks!!! That is my beautiful little flower, my grandbaby. Her mom (my daughter) and her were being silly at the store.

    Have a great Saturday!!!! :flowerforyou:

    Do any of you do "Biggest Loser Cardio Max". I just did the 40 min for the first time. I was wondering how I should log it, circuit or aerobics?

    Hello,

    I do the 50 mins of BL Cardio Max and then the 20 mins of Jillians Cardio Kickboxing and I have been logging them in as cardio....please post here if you find out differently. I would not have thought to list them under circuit, but, I am relatively new to all this exercise stuff....

    Thanks,
    Sheryl

    PS. I love both of these dvd's.....are you enjoying BL Cardio Max?

    I did enjoy Cardio Max, it really goes by fast. I would enjoy it more if Bob would take his shirt off durring it. :wink: Would give me something to look at: ) Today was my first day doing it. When I do the Shred I log it in Cardio as Circuit training. It gives me 157 calories burned for the 20 min. I would say the workouts are similar in a lot of ways.
