    L2 D1

    KO'ed.
    That is how I feel.

    That was BRUTAL.
    I had to take more breaks in the first session then i have ever had to do in all the 10 days of Level 1 combined I think.
    I was sweating so much with all those planks it was hard to stay on the mat. :(

    Level 1 Day 9 done. I worked with 8lbs weights today for most of the resistance exercises (I usually use a combo of 5lbs and 3lbs weights) - except the side lunges with lateral raises, I had to stick to my 3lbs :) Hoping I'll feel the burn a little in my arms today.

    @afitchpatrick: I think you should just keep going. I missed two days last week and just picked back up. I have also seen results posts from the 30ds that will say something like "I did the 30ds in 32 days cause I skipped two days. . ." so I think it is okay.

    Wow I look at all of these posts and think man have I got a long way to go! I just finished L1D3. At least I am staying with it and my endurance is improving ever so slowly. I WILL get there! I tjust feels so good after I have finished. So energized. I love the feeling.

    Did a 6 mile run with my sister this morning, then came home and did L2D4,whew....glad I'm done for the day!!!!

    Anyways, I am going camping for 5 days next week. I am going to try and keep up with level 3 while I am there....I am going to write it down and use a timer. This is my plan at least, we'lll see if i can stick too it. We are camping in Tahoe, so it might be rough in thin air.

    Sorry I have been MIA. Tuesday I didn't feel well so I took it off. Wednesday I still didn't feel well but I convinced myself to at least try and I completed level 1. Today I am feeling a bit better but HOLY MOLY! Level 2 is killer on the first day. I tried to do the advanced move whenever I could but for the most part had to modify and take a ton of breaks. Hopefully I will improve like I did in level 1 and by the end it will seem a lot easier.

    So to sum it up... Level 2 Day 1 complete. I am soaked but it is done.

    The day break did wonders. I'm not 100% but it's not as painful as yesterday. Will be doing L2D2 tonight.

    Simple hand weights and a yoga mat if you are working on a hard surface. And of course the video :)

    Thanks for the reply! Do you use more than one set of dumbells, or do you find one wieght to be appropriate for all movements in all workouts?

    @timdog, I use 3# and 5# weights, depending on the exercise, my hubby uses 8#. It's a lot of lifting in a short amount of time, so I don't recommend heavy weights, unless your super fit. She goes fast too, so better light to prevent injury....this is just my opinion.





    Oh, and L2 D5, done!!!
