L1D2 completed!

Hi all, completed L1D2 this morning, my arms were heavy when I first started out, but got better during the workout, i am using 2.5kg/5.5lb weight. Still hate those side lunges with arm raises! :0 155 calories. It sucks getting fitter, u have to do sooo much more exercise for your calorie burn.

  • It sucks getting fitter...

    :-D I can't wait for that feeling..! I have NEVER been this out of shape... Well, I have never been pregnant before so all together a new feeling.. Day 2 felt actually better than yesterday. I hope the small remains of my muscles are starting to wake up!

    Ditto!

    It was definitely an uphill battle getting out of bed this morning and I completely agree about those effin' side lunges. I felt really good when I got to that last ab circuit though!

    I feel like most people in this group were probably asleep, but I was thinking of all of you when I dragged myself out of bed at 5 - so thanks for the motivation! It really helps knowing you all are suffering along with me. :P

    I'm done too!! the push-ups are my least favorite but at least they are out of the way early! Getting up early is killing me but (and it is not that early compared to some of you) I know I won't do it if I wait.
    Have a great day!

    Day 2 done for me too!

    I also hate those side lunges! I can feel it in my legs, doing the stairs are nice, not! Also in my abs today, i keep thinking of Shaun T from insanity keep saying keep your core tight and form good lol

    Well done girls, we can do this!

    Day 2 done for me!

    Push ups were a struggle this morning....Can't wait for my arms to get stronger. Also a giggle for you all, I had to park on the 5th floor of the parking garage today....walking down was not a problem...walking up them at the end of the day should be fun since I can already feel the burn in my thighs!! Yay for day 2!!!
    :-D

    I started the 30DS on 9/23, so I will be starting Level 2 tomorrow... I'm a little scared... Level 1 is tough, but after 10 days, I think I'm ready to move up! The L1 cardio got much easier... the push-ups did NOT! I have never had good upper-body strength... But that's going to change!

    I have no idea if I have lost any pounds or not... I made my husband hide the scale in our house because I was obsessively weighing myself. I told him not to give it back until the 30 days are over. But I do feel so much better and feel like I have lost some inches. :)

    But I just wanted to say DON'T GIVE UP!!! There might be days that you don't want to do it or your legs hurt or you don't want to get out of bed early... But its only 20 minutes... That's what I tell myself every day. You can do it!

    Day 2 was muuuch easier than day 1, but I doubt those pushups will improve. I feel so weak!

    Day 2 completed! So hard to get excited this morning, but I was so happy when I was done. Finished up the workout with my Jillian Michaels triple chocolate protein shake. Nom nom nom!

    Side lunges and arm raises are never easy and I have broad shoulders already so I hate them even more.

    Sometimes I bicep curl if it hurts too much. But Day 2 is complete.

    Yay! Only 28 more days to go:bigsmile:

    Level 2 planks are the worst. Level 2 seems to be the hardest.

    Day 2 complete!!! Wasn't satisfied with just the 30ds so I finished off my workout with a 40 minute Jillian Last Chance Workout and phewww that is a great workout. I took a 10 minute break between the 2 workouts and man o man I was sweating more then I have in months. So worth it though, Im glad I pushed myself to do the second one. Burned nearly 800 calories between the two!!

    GREAT JOB EVERYONE! KEEP PUSHING, WE WILL ALL MAKE IT TO THE END. ONLY 28 DAYS LEFT :)

    L1D2 complete. I dont know if I've mentioned it, but I have a trainer living with me, his name is Josh and he is 3. Everytime I would get to a point where I wanted to quit or I was breathing hard and went to grab my water bottle Josh would yell, "you're doing a great job working out mommy, just like those girls on tv!!". This made me smile and want to work harder, I love feeling like I am setting a healthy example for my son, later in the last cardio circuit he joined me in doing the jumping jacks and punches, he's my biggest motivator!

    Today was HARD!!! I had a low calorie day yesterday(not planned just wasnt really hungry) and I could feel it today, I was sluggish through the whole workout. I wasnt really sore, except for my abs but I could feel it while I was doing the moves today for sure.Today was also the first day I made it through an entire round of side lunges and arm raises without taking a break(MAJOR NSV!!). I made it through today and finished strong even though I really didnt want to workout today, I just kept telling myself that I am part of a group of amazing women who are doing this right along with me and I refuse to let anyone down! 28 more days!!! Lets do this!

    I always try to do my workouts within the first 2 hours of waking up. It works best for me cause if I wait I will probley not do it or be tired from my day to day work to not push as hard as I should. Hope mornings work better for you too! :)

    L1D2 complete!

    Legs and *kitten* are killing me going up steps! I actually felt like I got through this better today. Still have to do the girly push ups, but I felt like I could keep up more today. What I love about this workout the most is just when I feel I can't do anymore, it's almost over! Keep up the hard work everyone! We can do this!

    L1D2 COMPLETED!!!! I am still not using weights for any of the arm moves, maybe will start tomorrow with that. I can tell you this workout is gonna be felt tomorrow. However, if it weren't for some dubstep music I would never make it through the whole video. I am excited to do it again tomorrow.
  • Day 2 completed! 28 to go! We got this ladies!
  • Just finished L1D2! I was so nervous to start because D1 really kicked my butt, but I decided to go for it and I did so much better today than yesterday! Not nearly as many breaks and not nearly as tired.....feeling great :happy:

    Day 2 done! I'm with everyone else - HATE those side lunges with the arm raises!! My arms just won't raise the weights for the full set, I have alternate about half way through :( i think a side goal for me is to get through those side lunges properly - if i can do that I can do anything lol

    Great work everyone!

    I complete D2 last night but forgot to post! I'm still struggling with push-ups but it did seem like I was able to get a little lower and was able to do more than the day before. I also am fighting with the lunges. My arms really don't like them as I had to take a few breaks. Here'a looking forward to a better day 3!! Can't wait til day 10 and taking new measurements!
