Anyone up for a Challenge?

Wow! Level 2 is hard! I had to take some breaks during the plié squats (my HRM was beeping due to the effort), but kept going... I guess it will be easier next time. Tomorrow, upper body level 2... Wish me luck!

I'm here cheering you on! It's a tough step up...lol..I'm skeered for next week!!!

I'm late to the party, but I did BBLB1 yesterday with BBUB1 scheduled today. I worked it all out to coordinate it with the novice 15k program i'm doing and it fits together nicely! I just hope my body can handle it! :laugh:

I did the Level 1 lower body today and wow, I sure felt it! I am not going to do the upper body after previewing it because I'm also doing the 30 day shred right now and there would be a lot of overlap, but definitely doing the lower body stuff. Wow, hi shaky legs!

Awesome! I'm doing out with a 5k training. What program do you use for the 15k?

I plan to do the shred later...only a couple things in my proverbial plate at a time..


Great job! Keep it up!

I'm following Hal Higdon's novice 15k program...I did c25k and graduated in May, it's such a great program!

Does anyone else prefer one workout to the other in the programme?
I'm finishing level 1 tomorrow and starting level 2 next week and I find the upper body exercises easier/more enjoyable than the lower body exercises...wonder if this will change as I turn it up a notch, hmmmm

Oh, and Monday was nothing to worry about (my mid-workout melt down) twas just PMS (sorry if that was TMI) My legs were burning today but after work got to it and did the whole level 1 lower body workout enjoying the burn during the glute/butt bridges (the last set was when I broke down on Monday) without stopping and still had the strength to go swimming tonight as well :happy:

GRATS!!! :drinker:
I prefer lower because I'm stronger in legs area and can keep up for most part. I'm new to lifting so gotta get used to the upper. I have been working out in gym for nearly 2 months now. I began bench pressing and dead lifting last Tue. The upper level 2 is quite tough, but I am pressing on.

All right - I'm inspired! I'm going to try BB on Monday. I just did Jillian Michael's 30-Day Shred yesterday so I can barely walk today. I'll recover over the weekend and let you know how my Monday workout goes!

I find I love or hate one or both sporadically... so, I think it's great because it keeps me interested and engaged and challenged. You're doing awesome!

How's it going Kristen?!! Can't wait to hear back from you!! KEEP IT UP!

This is my 2nd week doing it, I only did it 2 days last week though. I am doing lower tonight. It is tough and will leave you sore, but that is how you know it is really working.

I'm intrigued...

Started level 2 yesterday and today, was sore from my waist down. Doing the ground exercises for the upper body today was tough - everytime she was like 'flip over' for the other side, I was like "ow ow ow ow ow!" must be doing it right though, that lactic acid is good

NostalgicMuse

I will finish tonight. The last one!!! Hard to believe, but I feel so much accomplishment reaching this point. I do plan to incorporate the workouts into my routine, and I'll be adding a new regimen, but will keep Butt Bible as a cardio routine to do. Especially love LL2/ UL3

My pics will be posted towards the end of the week-- excited/nervous to share them!!!

bump, because I'll be back!
