    Started level 3 too. Those Rockstar jumps...omg. it's not pretty. Finally can do a few real push ups here and there but not the entire time. Can't wait til never have to be on 1/2 knees. Down 5 lbs & clothes are looser. Keeping me motivated.

    Level 3 is fun!! I have to be careful with the rockstar jumps so I modify. I have bad knees and hips. :\

    I'm awful at push ups too!! I can go half way down in a full push up and can so about 5 haha then I'm dying, I'm so weak in the upper body! Xxx

    Level 3 day 1 done! I still have 5 days of level 2 left but I wanted some change. It was tough as expected but I still liked it better than L 2. That one is a killer! I hate those non-ending planks!

    Starting Level 3 today. I've had a lot of personal things going on so I've fallen off the wagon the last couple of days.. Will update my measurements/weight on the other post and then get my butt back in gear.

    I finished level 3 day 1. I really didn't want to. I would rather sit around feeling sorry for myself. Lol I didn't have much energy in it, but I still did it, which I think is better than skipping it.

    Done lvl 3 day 3! Thank you for the motivation @Alf1163!!

    My way of thinkig about this is also "if I don't work out today, I will fall back into old habits, the thing that will push me towards my goal is that this time won't be the same as every other time I've tried to live a healthy lifestyle, this time I am actualyly going to get off my bum, even when I can't be bothered, and do my workout, if it's only ten minutes of if it's an hour, something is better than nothing"

    Obviously there are exclusion I.e injury, rest days etc but on days where I am planning a workout and can't be bothered that is my thinking that gets me up, I have tried this before and every time fallen back into "I cant be bothered today, maybe tomorrow" and tomorrow never came, but not this time, this time its for good!!

    Keep going everyone, you're doing so well ❤

    Level 3 Day 2 done! I'm going to be honest, I don't think level 3 is that bad. ((don't kill me!)) I don't seem to burn as many calories, I don't seem to have to work as hard (minus a few moves). Maybe that's because with some of the moves, the advanced is too difficult, but the beginner is too easy? I just don't feel like I'm getting much of a workout anymore.

    No I know exactly what you mean!! I try and do the advanced moves where possible and when I do that I sweat ALOT but with moves like the plank rows with a leg raise, I can't do the advanced because my wrists aren't strong enough to support my body yet, but when I do it on my knees, I feel it's way too easy, even with heavy weights!!

    Day 25/30, half way through lvl 3!!! Almost there now :) workouts are getting easier since I've pushed myself to do the advanced non modified versions since day 2. I can do the ab hold to plank move all the way through, only one I struggle with is jumping lunges, I have no balance I keep wobbling and having to correct myself causing me to miss a few and have to go slower, oh well, its about the effort I suppose! Xxx

    Edit: mispelt words.

    Where is everyone????? I had to do ripped in 30 week 4 again this morning because I couldn't find any 30DS level 3 videos on youtube!!!! It looks like they have been deleted!! Help!!! But ripped wk 4 is very similar. I felt burnt out this morning though. I still did it along with leg work and then 30 mins of swimming. Have an awesome day!!!

    Just finished L3 Day 3!! I skipped yesterday and did my own strength/resistance exercises. There is a lot of jumping in L3 and I do it while my kids are napping so I've been holding back a little as not to wake them. Lol Today my kids are out of the house and I finally got a good workout in for L3! I also did the advanced when I could and it definitely made it much more difficult!!

    Finished lvl 3 day 5 today, didn't really give it my all. I prefer to workout in the evening as that's when I'm most productive but was forced to do it in the am as I had work 1pm - 11pm and knew when I got home I'd just want to sleep! Still got a bit of a sweat on, which is good, but not as much as normal!

    Any one else feel like this group is getting quieter?? Xxx

    ALL DONE!!!!!! I did all 3 levels today. 1hour and 17 minutes, 506calories, wore my polar heart rate monitor. I'm drenched in sweat but I feel AWESOME!!!! My granddaughter joined me a few times, it was hilarious. She started with me, took a break and when she saw me next said "why are you sweating?" LOL To some of my rock star jumps she said "you are doing baby ones" which pushed me to do full ones. Ahhhh!!!!!

    Hang in there!!!! This program works if you are consistent AND eat a clean diet!!! Actually any program works if you do it and eat healthy.

    I enjoyed this challenge. Dissapointed not all 130 members joined in the conversation but that happens.

    PEACE AND BE HEALTHY!!!

    Alicia, I highly recommend it!!!! It is awesome. You will see some of the moves from 30DS but with a twist. What I love the most is that it is a week at a time, you don't see any exercise repeated not even in the warm ups. Also she recommends 1-2 days of rest a week. It is very challenging as well. Try to follow the diet plan if you can.

    With that being said I had to do it one more time and did all 4 week levels today. DONE!!!
