I hope that I'm not too late to join! I started Level 1 Day 1 Wednesday. I was surprisingly much better last night, L1D2. I feel like my thighs are going to fall off, but I'm going to keep going. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch up with everyone else. I've got to go back and listen to how many days each level lasts.
Hi tdbernrd
Welcome to the group.
Day 4 down and I am feeling good. Managed the plank for a full 1m tonight with wobbling.
Thighs still killing0 -
my hamstrings are sore now after day 3 but in a good feeling way, no longer excrutiating. feeling good day 4 this evening.0
-
Feeling it today but had more energy to put into it!
Is anyone using an HRM to measure the calories it burns? I need to get one so I know exactly!0 -
Finished Level 1 Day 3 this morning. I had to take a break yesterday. My hamstrings were killing me. @KilanniFit-Kudos! I can't hold that plank but a few seconds. I'm always out of breath at that point. I need to work up to that. @Lizz2013-I used a heart rate monitor to calculate my calories burned. Each person's calories burn is different, and I like to know exactly what I'm doing.0

I didn't post my last day of week 1 yesterday. I got through it even using the advance version for some moves. Today was my first day of week 2! Holly Molly Buddy :noway:
I can't even imagine what week 3 and 4 will bring. That was HARD work. Warning...a lot of planks. I feel like a big sweaty mess.
I am going to take a shower now and calm down, then maybe have some strawberries and more water. Phew..I made it through though.
Go ME :drinker: :bigsmile:0 -
Jlanderson - Well done matey. Wish I had some strawberries right now
Lizz2013 - I have not been using one so I have been guessing
I thinking of investing in a HRM but I am meant to be saving for our house this year so I might have to go without.
TD - I have no doubt you'll be doing the plank for mintues at a time soon. I do feel I am getting fitter each time i put the DVD on
Took yesterday off to recover and wow what a difference it made to me. I think I am going to stuck to working out 6 days with Saturday off0 -
I completed L1D4. I thought I'd try to do a beginner's pilates video. I caught a leg and booty cramp. LOL! I think I wore everything out after doing Ripped. :blushing:0

I'm starting Ripped in 30 today! I plan to do it 5-6 days per week.0

I'm curious what size weights everyone is using?
I have adjustable weights and I've just been using the handles (3lbs each) for Week 1. I have a shoulder injury so it's good for chest flies etc but sometimes I feel like I could be using more weight (triceps, biceps). Maybe I should put the plates on to make it 6lbs for those moves?0 -

I got Jillian's 3lb. weights, the same ones they use in the video. I might move up to 5lbs. if I need to as I progress.0 -

In the first week I use 3lbs for shoulders because that is my weakest muscle. 5lbs for arms and 8lbs for back. Now in the second week I keep with the 5lbs. We use a lot of body weight and planks so weights are not used as much.0 -
awesome, thanks guys! I put the extra plates on tonight and used 6lbs each for the first two circuits and then switched back to 3lbs for the last one since I struggle with the chair flies. felt better day 7 tomorrow already!0
-
I wonder if I need to say I'm technically on day 2. I hadn't completed a full week of at least 6 workouts so I just started over Saturday night0
-
Tried to do day 5 of week 1 today but only lasted 5 minutes. Going to accept that as I'm not well today will have to be my day off. Definitely improving each day, although those stacked feet side raise things kill me!0

Whoop! week 1 done so starting week 2 tomorrow. Think I needed to work out tonight. Had the most lovely pasta dish but took me over 600 cals! came within limits but still
I am currently using 5lb because that is all I have right now.
Keep going ladies0 -
