    I like level 2 better, but had to take a few days off with some company visiting - well, no one held a gun to my head or anything but it was too complicated. However, my company has now gone home and so I hope to get back on the horse tonight.

    Day 16 completed... Today was L2D8. I finally was able to feel productive on level 2 today. I was able to push myself harder rather than survive... I think there's hope for eventually moving to level 3 at some point..LOL Today was a really good workout!!!

    I did L2D8 today as well! Gosh, I hate Jillian first thing in the mornig, but then, after my shower and breakfast I love knowing that I can have a nice dinner later :tongue:

    I finished D4L2 today. Level 2 is still hard, but it's not as bad as it was on day 1.

    I'm hoping it will get better by day 10.

    Day 18 complete.. Level2D10. Level 2 is getting better. I think I will do it one more day before moving on to Level 3. I don't want to start level 3 on a run day and tomorrow is a run day.. Ok, Jillian is a woman, right.... This 30 consecutive days.....well.....that includes TOM at some point for all of us....UGh....... For me that's today.... So, if I can make it through this week I have it made, right?????

    :) How is everyone else doing???

    I started on Level 3 today. Did L2D9 yesterday, but i needed something new even though I am not mastering everything in Level 2 and have to do some of the low impact moves.
    Level 3 is hard but the jump is not as big as the one between 1 and 2 I have to say.

    What is everyone planning on doing after the 30 days? I am doing c25k too (on week 1 still) but i need those Jillian calories each day, otherwise i'd be starving!

    I def don't run as much as you do.... I am at about 10 miles/week. I don't have shin splints but I can def feel the jump rope in my shins. I am a little concerned about doing the DS every day as well as running 3 days a week. Seems my legs stay tired. I really want to give them a break, but am so stubborn... I was to do 30 consecutive days... But my legs are heavy and mad at me..:)

    Thanks. I took off almost a week for shin splints to stop screaming at me. I couldn't get out of a chair without pushing up with my arms. Now, I'm using my rowing machine for the cardio and that seems to work. It's probably a few fewer calories burned, but I'm not incapacitating myself like I was with jumping jacks and running in place. Onward.

    Day 20 complete... L2D12. I have been at mom's for a couple days so haven't moved on to level 3. Level 2 is easier that when I started it. I will do level 2 again tomorrow and then move on to level 3 on Sat... Hope everyone is having a great week!!

    I have 2 more days of level 2, then I may attempt level 3....wish me luck. lol

    Although I keep reading that level 2 is the worst.

    I did L3D3 today and I found L2 harder. L3 is hard, but the jump from 2 to 3 wasn't as big as from 1 to 2 I think.
    Good luck with L3. We're almost there!

    Day 22 complete. L3D1. I like level 3 better than level 2. Its hard but I like it. :)

    Did L3D4 today, after not doing DS on Fri or Sun, I did do other exercise. But I'm starting to get bored, even though it is exhausting and i can feel my muscles every day, I'd like to start something new.

    Day 24 in the books!! Almost there... I can taste it...LOL... L3D3. I really like level 3 and can really tell it is doing its job.. I bought Ripped in 30 this weekend and plan to move right onto it!! I will do a final inches/pounds post at the end, but that really doesn't even matter.. I can REALLY tell a difference in my core strength... Lovin It!!

    I still have 2 more days of Level 2. (Yuck!)

    I was supposed to do D9L2 today, but apparently I set my alarm for the wrong time and got up too late. So...I start back up again tomorrow.

    Sounds like level 3 is better than level 2...yay! I don't like level 2.

    I didn't like level 2 either, but I stayed on it for extra days because I thought level 3 would be worse.. Level 3 is hard...Probably harder... Don't know why I like it better, but I do... I'm just weird that way!!

    I loved level 2, it was by far my fav!! I started level 3 today, and really not a fan of all the jumping, but overall it was a great workout! :glasses:

    I think I've decided to start ripped in 30 after 30DS.

    Although, with it getting cooler outside, I may try running in the morning also. I've got a 5K in October that I registered for, so I need to train for that.

    I finished L2D9 just now, so I will have one more day of level 2.

    Just finished day 26, L3D5!!! Only 4 days to go.. This body will definitely be taking a rest day at that point... I really love this workout though. I can feel the difference... When I walk I can feel muscle, not fat.. Does that make sense to anyone???

    So I started level 3 today. Compared to level 2, level 3 is a breeze. I had to modify some of the moves because my knees couldn't take it, but I'm hoping that i will get stronger and be able to do them full force!

    I don't do the rock stars because of the impact on my knees. I do jump rope instead. My knee joints are tired from running and 30DS. I don't want to risk injury with those rock stars...

    @ ardeornellis: exactly thesame here, I do jump rope the first round and then star jumps the second :)

    Only 2 days left... YAY!!! Honestly, my body is screaming!! It's tired.. SO ready for a rest day.. I completed the C25K today!! I ended it with a 3.14 mile RUN!!! I was very excited, but I gave that all I had and then the workout after just about did me in... When I move on to Ripped I will def take a rest day each week.. This body needs it!!

    well done!
    I had to stop with just 5 days to go. also not counting as I am on holidays. But i was completely set on doing 30ds a few times this week, despite being away, but now my foot hurts again :(

    Good luck with the half marathon training.

    How's everyone doing?

    I'm on L3D6. Only 4 more days to go. I usually take Sunday as a rest day, but I'm thinking of doing it on Sunday just so that can be my last day.

    Great job Bobbie!!! Keep it up! YOu are almost there, and it feels GREAT to finish!! I did the first day of Ripped today and honestly, it didn't seem as hard as level 3 of shred..:)
