Becca's Ripped in 30 Results (PICS)

I have noted in other people's posts that they didn't like week 2 either. Neither do I! I am thinking of skipping to week 3 soon. It's funny how your weight loss stalled at that point, too. I found that without my sticky yoga mat, the moves flow way easier. Any other tips or tricks for week 2 or the DVD in general? Thanks!

Hi! I kept my own pace during week 2, since my endurance for cardio still wasn't great. I found the weight training and abs to be easy, though, and was able to do all of the moves with 3lbs dumbbells. I didn't want to burn out, even though I could use 5 lbs or more for certain moves. Just do what you can, and don't push yourself to the limit. The one that I REALLY want to stress, is Week 4! I really loved that week, but I overexerted myself and ended up dizzy and nauseaous by the 2nd workout. I did the 3rd workout, but was sick for about 12 hours after. I had to rest the next day because I didn't want to feel bad. I did my own modified moves the next 3 workouts, with NO jumping! I would squat instead of jump, and during one of her plank moves, I just raised up in plank and stepped toes to the side. Even though week 4 was easy to do, it raises your Heart Rate to a very high level, and I suggest NOT doing any of the advanced cardio if you haven't been exercising for awhile. Other than that, do what you can, especially during Week 3. Week 3 was tough, but because I love any type of strength training, I really enjoyed it! I came close to completing those Tricep dips, but still cannot do them all, even after 2.5 weeks of working out after. If you are sore, do some extra stretching! Hatha/Vinyasa type of Yoga is what I did (20 minutes after most workouts), and I was barely sore! You can also eat some cherries since they help with soreness. Good luck!!
