Hi all,

Well we are 2 weeks into this already, so we need to give ourselves a huge pat on the back!!

L2 D3 for me today and I still hate it but I CAN manage it all, even though it's hard and I have to modify some of the moves and stick with Anita. At least it's a good platform to build on and I can work on doing a little more each day. If it wasn't hard there'd be no challenge, right?!

Thank you everyone for throwing yourselves into this, I'm finding the support network is really helping to keep me going.

Have a good day. :smile:

    Level 2, Day 3 done! I have to modify the $&?!(#% pendulum lunge, they really strain my hip flexors. I'm probably doing them wrong too. I subbed in a plié squat thinking my inner thighs could use some work! I feel like I'm not working so hard I'll die any more with cardio, but I'm still dripping with sweat when I stop! :)

    I'm starting level 2 tonight! I was supposed to finish level 1 yesterday, but I went to the gym with my mom, instead. I think I got the same amount of working out done, and I definitely got more cardio in. How is it? I'm nervous!

    I am still on level 1. I took a couple rest days in between workout days.
    I will start level 2 on Monday. I would start level 2 Friday or Saturday but my mom wants to try it, so I will stick with level 1 throgh the weekend and then move up to level 2.
    This may sound crazy but when my alarm went off at 4:30 this morning, I was laying there waking up so I could get up an work out and my body jusy felt different to me. I can't quite explain how, it just did. It felt fitter or something. I think it has a lot to do with the 30DS. It might be all in my head but it was a good feeling.
    Anyone else?

    I decided I need a mat (I've been working out on my carpet so far but it's so thin, it hurts my knees and my hips and elbows during the abdominal exercises on the side). It's on its way to me already.

    Also, I ordered a new sports bra. I've got 2 but they are useless. Even a regular bra seems to give better support. Looking forward to these new babies :)

    Great Work guys!!!!

    I finished Level 1 Day 10 this morning, onto Level 2 tomorrow... eeekkk!!!!! I am so nervous but with the amazing results I have had from Level 1 I can only imagine what will come from Level 2 :) I have not remeasured or taken pics with the completion of Level 1 but I feel SOOO much better then I did before starting 30DS, I am more awake, happy, confident, and proud!!! Sooo thankful for this group which keeps us all moving to finish!!!

    Bring it Level 2, bring it!!!!!

    I wish this was me, sadly I have another torturous week of L2 ahead of me! I remember last time I did the shred I preferred L3 to L2 so I'd be interested to see what others think.

    Did Level two, day three after my personal trainer tried to kill me and I followed that up with 20 mins on the elliptical. I was in my jammies by 3 PM. I did notice the faint outlines of biceps after I got out of the shower. I spent enough time holding my body weight up in various forms of torture - I mean, exercises today, so it's about frickin' time.

I'm sor ebut I love it. And the fact it 's less than 30 mins is a HUGE help for my schedule. Keep on going everyone....Good luck!

    I just finished day 7, Level 2. I was a bit tired after running around all morning doing errands but it actually perked me up! Keep at it everyone...we're worth the time and effort.

    I just finished up my last day of Level 1. I've moved into doing shred-shred-cardio-shred-shred-rest, instead of the shred every day, to give my joints a break. I believe that's how she recommends you do the program anyway, so I'm trying not to hate my body for not being able to withstand it every day! On shred days, I also do the bike for 20-30 minutes and for cardio, I'm doing zumba. Here's hoping I see some amazing results!

    Level 1, Day 9 complete! I didn't post on the group yesterday, but did day 8. I feel a little frustrated that I don't feel like I've made much progress in the push-up department over the course of this level. Also not sure that I'm noticing changes in my appearances. Sometimes I think my arms and legs look a little more toned, but not sure if I'm imagining it. Sadly, what I really want to see a change in, my tummy, doesn't seem to have changed much.

    I do feel good about doing some form of exercise most days of the week. I don't feel sore after workouts and it actually makes me want to move more - I find I want to go out and walk more to get places. Just one more day of Level 1 and then on to Level 2! I hope I start noticing some physical changes soon!
