Sorry guys I'm starting this week early because next weekend we're having a Lohri (Indian festival) party and my house is going to be crazy on sat & sun (trying to get this week's workouts done by friday morning before everyone flies in). No rest day for me until next weekend! Workout 3 is killer. I made it through but during the last circuit I was so slow and exhausted (+ hungry, i think i need to eat a bigger breakfast). If anyone has done ripped in 30, some of the moves were similar to weeks 2 and 3 in that video. I did ripped in 30 before starting this, so doing these moves again weren't so bad, but still exhausting. I was amazed I could do those side crunch things! They looked super hard but surprisingly doable. Anyways, workout 3 done.

    I've started Week 3 too because I'm in Australia so we're quite a few hours ahead. My husband really thought it's been stepped up significantly in Workout 3 . I'm not sure about the strength moves being harder (a lot of bodyweight based ones) but I definitely did notice that there seemed to be more cardio .

    Just as I suspected, balance was my issue. I tried to get my leg up, but couldn't get it higher than my knee and ended up just keeping it near the lower leg or ankle. My other challenge were the yoga moves. I absolutely HATE yoga and I found myself struggling through this part.

    I struggled too with workout 3 too. The tricep dips in the crab position and some of the yoga moves. There was a few spots where I just had to pause and catch my breath for 10 seconds. Felt awesome after though!

    WOW that was tough - definitely agree with soybeaner and kjcassidy - going to be sore tomorrow. For comparison, I burned 325 calories during this workout, but workouts 1 & 2 burned around 225-250 calories each.

    Done with three pauses of the DVD, also with my foot down at my ankle on that tree yoga pose - I couldn't do it all, but I pushed to muscle exhaustion and I felt like throwing up when I was done. I think Jillian would be happy. :smiley:

    I'm looking forward to the 4th time I do this workout and see the improvement.

    @cbraun133‌ I did the cardio on Saturday afternoon. Sundays are my rest days. Week 3 is proving a new challenge!
