    Day 24 done! I still can't do a push up to save my life. I'm able to actually hold the planks for the full time now without dropping to me knees for a beat, though I'm still doing the modified mountain climbers.

    Good for you!! I'm only doing pushups like half the time with the walking push ups. And the plank twist, I'm doing a couple, then holding it for about 30 sec then doing the last few...

    And, today was so awful, I actually did the v flys? with OUT weights. ya.

    ETA: Good for you for sticking with it! 6 more days and you're done!

    I really struggled with the v flys too, so I don't blame you! Glad to be done with those for now. And yes, 6 more days! I've enjoyed it but am also kind of ready to be done, getting a little boring. But that's partially my fault for jumping to level three early.
  • Hi I'm new! I started 10 days ago moved onto level 2 3 days ago bit early (mistake! It's so much harder lol!) day 10 done and I'm now dying on the couch! Great idea to be able to check in thanks!

    Ha, I did too! I did level 1 so many times I was sick of it. So I only did 7 days. And now.. Woooooweeee! It's rough! LOL. So glad for the accountability though! I think we're on the same day? (Lv2 Day 3 finished today)

    Wow. How the heck do you do 2 work outs a day? I can barely do 1. LOL. I had to skip yesterdays. I had a migraine, and there was no way I was doing that. ;( Oh well. I'll do it today, and get back to it.

    I work midnights so I do one in the morning when I get off work and one in the evening a few hours after I wake up, so it feels like I'm doing them two different days.

    Well, that'd make sense. I have a hard time doing 1 though LOL. Trying to push through level 2... Today will be day 3.

    I have a desk job too so I'm pretty sedentary. I actually like working out twice a day, makes me feel more active. :laugh:

    Going to be finishing level 2 in the morning!!! Can't wait. Although I might double up levels 2 & 3 a few days, I'm not quite where I'd like to be with level 2, have to take too many breaks still.

    When I'm finished with level 3 I'm going back and doing level 1 for a day just to see if it seems easy then. :laugh:
  • Day 11 level 2 day 4 done its not getting easier even following Anita the military raises and v squats are killing me! jbuc07 think we are on same day hope you got on ok with it today!

    Level 2 day 4 done!

    The v raises are getting easier. I pushed through with weights the first round, but still had to drop them the 2nd. My abs are starting to hurt now. :laugh: So maybe that's a good thing. It's like I can feel them working now. Hmmmmmmmm........ Maybe I can start seeing results now??????????

    ok, I should have done day 2 level 1 at lunch today, but I'm just having one of those days where I'm feeling down. I will do day 2 when I get home tonight...but I'm just having a really hard time today. :(

    Day 7 Level 1 completed. I refuse to do one more jumping jack. They really hurt my knees and calves. I don't get it either. I can run, but can't do jumping jacks?

    Hm... Maybe it's the way your are jumping? I tend to jump on the balls of my feet instead of flat footed. But, I know that when I first started, I had a hard time with the jump rope. Jacks were fine, but the jump rope hurt my shins. I just use some Bengay, Ibuprofen, and push through. LOL
    ETA: Make sure you're drinking enough water though! That's probably the most important. (For me)

    I jump on the balls, yep. Now I'm reaching to the left with my right arm across my body and pushing my right leg out at and angle; same cardio just a different move and no more achy knees. It's amazing. I did jj's all the time in elementary school. . . 35 years ago LOL

    Day 8 complete! Level 2 coming up on Friday!

    I did shred it with weights today. I'll go back to the regular shred tomorrow. I'm thinking I'm going to do this when the shred is over. (Do shred it with weights). It was fun, and went very quick!

    Oh I actually didn't like that one all that much, but that's awesome that you were into it! I like No More Trouble Zones a lot.

    That one is killer. It's actually the first JM I ever did because it streams on Amazon for free… I couldn't make it all the way through, haha.

    Level 2, day 7 DONE. Wow. 13 more days, and I'm done with this program!!!

    It was easier today. I did however, push harder, so while it was easier, I made myself do more, so it was hard. LOL..

    And, I can't get through BFBM. I haven't done it in a while though, so maybe after this, I can?

    Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, it's another JM workout that just uses body weight, no dumbbells or anything. It's good, but really intense! It's basically like 45 minutes or really intense cardio.
