I am taking a few days off before starting level two. First, cause my knees hurt pretty bad and second, someone is sleeping in my exercise area. Will probably start up on Sunday. Thanks for warning me about level 2!

I meant to start yesterday, but my arms were pretty sore from BodyPump class....and today I should have started as well, but I decided sleep was better :P
I have watched it a couple of times so that I know what to expect. Maybe I will try it out at work. Watch Jeff Dunham and do level 2? Maybe...Ten minutes away!

Going to give Level 2 a go today! It's funny - I've had this DVD for YEARS & it's always my "go to" workout - but I may have done Level 2 one time ages ago..... my kids may be more excited than me that I am finally branching out to Level 2! We'll have to see how it goes.

Day 5 of Level 2 done today. It's starting to get easier, though like I've said in the past, I've had to make modifications because I can't get into plank with my wrist problems.

I'd recommend watching it once through before you do it because some of the moves/transitions are a little tricky at first.

C'mon girls, let's keep going! We can do it!

I did day two today. Its challenging in a different way. It requires more balance and overall stability. I can't decide yet if I like it more or less than the first level.

I also did level one again an hour later because I ate perogies. Lol. It was much easier.

booah.. that's tough... but kind of fun though... but it was almost killing me. I think a (tiny little) part is also the (tiny little) cold inside my body... I sweat like a pig!

I have finally done level 2!!! Got it done on Sunday & had a massive right thigh cramp during. I must have bent weird or something. I took Monday off, and was able to get it done Tuesday without any cramping.

All the plank stuff is a bit brutal (I don't have the world's toughest core). Even following Anita is a bit tricky for me at times.

But - love the challenge & it's another great workout. Think I burned about 260 calories with it when I tracked with my HRM on Tuesday. Gearing up to face Level 2 again today.

I may have muttered aloud "Jillian, you are killing me!!" - my 10 year old was a bit concerned

Let's keep shredding ladies! As I have battled down to 178 a few times since having my youngest, I can tell you that the round when I was consistently shredding, I looked & felt the best! Now my plan is to shred right on thru 178, keep going, hit goal & stay there!!!!

Hugs to all,

Amy

I still have yet to do day 5...these past two days have been insane for finding time...Well, yesterday I really should have done it but I was annoyed at myself at the gym and let people's comments get the better of me....and then today was just a busy write off. I will just do it tomorrow and Sunday....and maybe kick it up a notch by also doing level one both days as well? I may count that as a day if I do that

Bah, still haven't done lv2 part5 ....but it was a great relaxing weekend. My goal by the end of this week is to be starting on lvl 3. I even said that my reward would be a new haircut!

Hoping that some people are still going to be posting here still on lvl2.

I'm doing it mon-fri this week. That'll finish me off for level 2 and then I'm taking the weekend off for birthday festivities. Woohoo!

Enjoy! I've already taken off too much time and won't be able to break. Gotta do it every day from now til Christmas. I know this may not be best but I may just do 9 days of lvl 2 so I cam start right on lvl 3 on Saturday. I already did a few extra lvl 1 after doing lvl 2 so I can make it up while in lvl 3.

I'm also not really fond of lvl 2....not sure what it is. I don't like all the plank moves I guess.

So trekking along I go!


I should also note that I do hour gym classes along with this so I'm still getting exercise every day

I'm also not really fond of lvl 2....not sure what it is. I don't like all the plank moves I guess.

Oh boy. You're going to HATE Level 3 then....

Joy to the world lol. Well maybe I will modify. In lvl 2 my shoulders just can't handle the military presses and then right back down into the plank jacks. So I do jumping jacks for some of it.

Today I did technically day 6 of lvl 2 but I also did a back to back with lvl 1 as well. So I'm counting it as an extra day for now so I can jump in and do lvl 3 on Saturday :P

Lvl 1 is a cakewalk now that Lvl 2 is kicking my *kitten*!

I had the hardest time with the in and outs in the plank position. My feet kept slipping when I jump back to the out position. Anybody else have that issue?

about feet moving/slipping w/ the plank jacks- are you working out on a non-slip area (if the area rug is moving- it might be a good idea to just kick it out of the way while you work out... and are you wearing shoes? I can't do the workouts w/o proper support- that might help.... good luck!
