Starting 30DS Today

Finally! day 6, level 2 completed. I upped the weights on the first 2 circuits.0

WOOHOO! I can honestly say I am SO HAPPY to be DONE level 2! I don't recall ever having stuck it out like this before and it makes me proud of myself that I DID IT! :bigsmile: I woke up this morning to feeling some delayed muscle soreness from yesterday's workout, but yesterday I also added 20 minutes of moderate bike workout and wonder if that might have been the cause? I was sore today, but toughed it out and am SO ready to take this weekend off! Well, I'll still be up and about doing stuff, just not intensely working out.

Level 2 day 1. I had heard that level 2 is actually easier than level 1... NOT TRUE. Squat thrusters had me dying.
Buuut I got through it (the best I could)!
When I finish the whole 30DS, I'm planning on repeating it from level 1 day 1. Looking forward to seeing the results in the form of "wow this isn't as hard as I remember."
Whoever said that was either in excellent top form or was phoning in the moves. I said right off the bat that level 2 was brutal compared to level 1!
So long as you're doing your BEST, that's all that matters! As the days go on and you keep doing it, it'll get a touch easier and worth seeing results!

Day 9/Level 1 - One more day, then it's on to level 2. You guys are making me scared about level 2.
11 pushups / 9 pushups. I am still improving!0 -

Lol I'm the total opposite. Today is my 2nd day of level 3. Totally want to go back to level 2. I HATE level 3
Dreading it x.x Which is going to make me want to stop.. not cool. 0 -

Level 2 isn't that bad in my opinion. In fact, it was my favorite. Wait until you reach level 3. Muahahahaha!0 -
I'm on Day 8 now. After Day 5 I knew Level 1 was no good to me anymore because I wasn't dreading it like I used to. I know, I sound ridiculous - it wasn't easy but it just wasn't as HARD as I wanted it to be. So I decided to try 5 days of Level 2. It was HARD. I couldn't finish many of the moves because my upper arm and core strength isn't amazing.
But the second day of Level 2 I did finish it all minus a couple of reps near the end. And already I can feel such a difference in my abs and my arms. And I feel like I'm getting a hard workout like those first few days of Level 1 again.
Next I'll do 5 days of level 3 and then 15 days of mixing it up to complete the 30 days.0 -
Mixing all three levels is working great for me. I'm still looking forward to them 7 workouts in, and that's something for me!0

I pushed myself today, especially during all the exercises in the plank poses. It is easier than in the beginning of this level but man, I could easily do this for 20 days instead of 10 (not that I want to ) and there still would be room for improvement.
Had some bigos yesterday (Polish food. lots of cabbage) and I still feel bloated, ugh.
Myfitnesslife, my daughter is 1. She is a preemie though - we had to get her 2 months earlier...0 -

That sounds like a fantastic idea. I did 8 days of level 1, moved on. I was going to do 10-12 days of level 2, but it became boring/easy fast. So now I'm on level 3. So far I hate it, and I may do add the 4 days from level 1 and 2 onto it, depending. 0 -
haha I would rather do 20 days in level 2 than do level 3 at all. Hell, I'll take a full 30 days in level 2. I'm pushing myself hard for level 3. I really don't like it.17/30

Level 3 Day 3 Check.
All I can say: 5 more days, just 5 more days!0 -
18/30
just 2 more days of level 2. just 2 more days. Just 2 more days.
During level 1 I actually looked forward to exercising. I was so energetic and motivated.
Now, I'm still motivated but I know exactly how exhausting these workouts are and I started to dread them.
Nonetheless - I will be buying Ripped in 30. I'm not stopping after the Shred.0 -
Day 1 L2 I am in BIG trouble. It is so freaking hard and I think I pulled a muscle in my neck/ shoulder doing the dam plank move. I hope I'm OK to continue tomorrow.0

Haha I will be buying RI30 tomorow, and starting it a 1 week from tomorrow. At least I hope I can force myself to. I'll be leaving for Cali the 18th, and I won't be back till the 23rd. I'm Hoping I can focus on my portion control and only eating when I'm hungry. But Monday is going to screw that up because we have a tasting to do for our wedding that day. Also, Thursday will screw that up to cuz **** you it's thanksgiving >:( Lol. Whew. I'm just going to focus on doing my exercises and trying to moderate myself as much as I can and hope I do a good enough job so that I don't gain more than 2 lbs back! We should be RI30 buddies too ^_^ I'm looking forward to it. I might try doing 30DS over again and do RI30 as well. Depending on how I feel.0 -

Oh no! That's never good! I hope your neck gets better soon!0 -

One more day of level 2.0 -
Day 2/Level 2. wow. I agree with whoever said they looked forward to excercising during level one and dreaded it for level 2. Lol.
This is the planking level and omg. crazy. BUT, I am doing in. Anita is kicking my *kitten* with her modified version, but I am struggling through it and finishing it. I cannot get the hang of the last ab move, so I have resorted back to bicycle crunches. ;-)0 -
Day 21, Level 3 and I'm so wiped out! I watched the video again before I did the workout and got out my 3 lbs weights. I can't do jumping jacks with 5 lbers! I can work my way up, but that's going to take a while! LOL The jumping lunges take some coordination, too so for today I did the modified version. Had a few breaks in between but I did do all the moves! I have to decide yet if I love it or hate it. Not sure yet.
Had another headache today and this time there's pain behind my left eye. I think I'm due for an eye exam. Last time I went, about 5 years ago, the dr said my eyes were perfectly fine and not to come back for another 10 years. Well, I'm going to a different dr this time! Haven't needed glasses............yet....0 -
What, jumping jacks with weights?
What, jumping lunges??
Get outta here... 0 -

Ever heard the phrase "Jillian Michaels is crazy"? Well, in level 3 she proves it! :laugh:0 -
Day 22, Level 3 done! Felt a bit easier today. Maybe I'll up some weights tomorrow! I can say that I enjoy level 3 better than level 2. 0

Day 13/ Level 2 (day 3 of level 2) I am getting the hang of this finally. I do not like planks. I would not do them on a train, nor in the rain. hahahaha.
I did finally get through the last abdominal plank move. It was sad and pathetic and I told Jillian to shut the **** up,:laugh: but I did it!!:bigsmile:0 -

You've been reading Dr. Seuss, haven't you? LOL!!
Good job on getting it done! You might not like the planks now but your abs will thank you later! :bigsmile:0 -

Dr Seuss is amazing. Bahaha. I'm surprised I love planks so much!0 -
Day 23, Level 3 complete!! Even upped the weights on some moves. Definitely feeling changes, especially in my hips and rib muscles. Woohoo! Staying away from the scale and just listening to my body. Will do measurements after I'm completely done this level.0
-
Day 14. This is getting easier. I no longer want to die during them, but I still tell Jillian to go fook herself towards the end. :laugh:
I chuckle when Natalie gets busted for not being in the squat low enough.0 -
20/30!
Level 2 is history!!! Yeah!
I needed to push myself to do the workout. Low energy, low motivation, I'm feeling like I'm not changing one tiny bit. I know it's not true, I know my thighs and hips are thinner, I know that I can see my ribs much better when I lift my arms, I also got this wonderful line on my upper abdomen along linea alba. However, it's always been my stomach that bothered me most and this is the last place where I lose fat. My butt and legs have always been first to slim down and this is what happened now as well. But my stomach is not really changing that much and it just happened to demotivate me big time today.
Oh well.. tomorrow is another day. Hello, level 3.0 -
I am apparently taking today as a rest day as I overslept. :blushing:
I'll be back tomorrow!0 -
Day 24, Level 3 done! OK, I don't like the "rock star jumps" so I put in my own modification by jump roping instead. I actually get more heated doing that than her silly jumps. lol0
