    L3 D2 done. Right now I'm enjoying level 3. Much better than level 2, which I wasn't a fan of.

    I'm glad to see all of these positive comments about level 3. I need them to motivate me through level 2.

    This Saturday my choices for exercise were:

    - run in the 105 degree heat outside in the middle of the day
    - cut the grass (large, hilly, and thick back yard that is a b**** to mow) in the 105 degree heat in the middle of the day
    OR
    - do level 2 day 3 video in the air conditioned house.

    I chose mowing the lawn - figured if I was going to sweat outside I may as well be productive. Both of the above sounded better than the video.

    I really need to get back on track. Tonight is the night - and I'm going to keep telling myself to fight through level 2 for 7 more days because you all say level 3 is better :D

    Hang in there...don't give up....I am on L2D6...it's hard but gives results :flowerforyou:

    I took 3 more skip days. >.>` Oops? I got back to L3 today and did L3D6... I've also been slacking nutritionally. I don't know why I've fallen off the wagon so in the last week. It's been rough. But I will finish it. It won't be perfect. It won't be uninterrupted. But it will be completed. Four more days - that's nothin'. Right?. . . . right. ._.

    l2d3 done tonight.

    I think I may just not be strong enough for this level. I really feel like I am doing all I can just to get through it, and I do most all of them wrong.

    Every once in a while I will try to flatten my back or straighten my legs to get into the right form and I can feel the difference but my muscles collapse and I go back to just doing them halfway.

    But I am determined to push through the days in hopes that it gets easier.

    You will get better, you are only 3 days into this level. Even when I had done 9 days before, that last day was still a massive effort, the cardio on this level meant my heart pounding the entire way through the 20 mins. I sweated the same amount at the end that I did when first starting the level.

    Don't get us wrong, level 3 is hard but after getting through level 2 it seems so much more enjoyable.

    Took the weekend off and then wasn't able to get to it yesterday either...boo...

    But started Level 3 today and I agree with folks that it does seem to go a lot faster than L2 and be more enjoyable.

    That being said, I still feel like Jillian is trying to kill me, had to take several breaks, and my heart is still pounding a mile a minute in my chest...

    Also, jumping jacks with weights....hahaha she has got to be kidding me!!

    Still feels good to know that I have gotten this far and I will keep going, even if I can't do 5-6 days a week like I started out I can see the changes in my body and I want to be even more fit...

    Can't wait to continue to hear how ya'll are doing!!

    Hey guys, what do you record shred as in the exercise section on MFP? Im unsure how many calories I would have burned, any formulas to work this out? Thanks x

    I was putting it in as 20 mins of circuit training, which seems somewhat accurate. Then I found a calculator online that gave me an estimate and I used that to create my own exercise in MFP. I can't remember where I found the calculator, but I just googled "calories burned during 30 Day Shred" and there were a couple to choose from.

    L3D3-done.
    Sore elbow skin from the plank push up things at the start.

    Trying so hard to eat healthy, I have been having grapes most nights in yoghurt as an after tea dessert, well last night I got really bad pains and bloating in my stomach, the kind I get when I eat bananas, so I guess I'm off grapes now as well. Good job I prefer vegetables to fruit anyway.

    Am I the only one who thinks level 3 is way harder than level 2? The plyos are killer!

    Which one next?? Getting close and I need to decide (and hopefully have the same crew) to join me in either Ripped in 30 or Extreme Shed and Shred. I may even throw in a 6wk 6pk. Anyone interested in any of those?

    you aren't alone shannon...I'm with you! I think level 3 is the toughest. the only thing I can think of is: those who are saying how breezy level 3 is are doing the modifications.

    I am slowly getting better at the plyo lunges (on level 3 day 5 now). and getting better on the rockstars, too.

    I don't find L3 breezy by any means....just mentally it seems easier for me because the time seems to go more quickly so even though I'm dying I feel like I'm dying for a shorter amount of time LOL I also feel like my body is dying in different ways....L2 my arms and shoulders and cardio killed me....now its legs and cardio :D

    Wow, another one? I'm looking forward to going back to my daily yoga when the shred is over. I think I'll do it again in a few months or do one of the levels once a week or something.

    I was going to rotate through my other Dvds for a bit. I need a break from Jillian. She definately kicked my butt with this DVD.

    It is harder. I am finally able to most of level 3 without modifications. I am at day 4. Towards the last circuit is where it kills me.

    I was thinking about doing 6wk 6pk, but my back has to get better so I can finish level 3. I still have 5 days left of level 3 and I am hoping to be able to get back to it soon. I walked my neighborhood yesterday so hopefully I can return to shredding by tomorrow or the very latest Friday, if not I plan on starting level 3 all over from day 1.
