  • Completed Lv2D1 last night and I must say that Jillian is either insane or brilliant. The walk out push ups are the worse part for me so far. I lost 4 pounds in Lv 1 so I'm excited about that. I do find myself looking forward to the Ab circuit so my heartrate can slow down. Love this program though, maybe we should all do Ripped in 30 after completeing this. What do you guys think?

    I am all about that... I ordered Ripped in 30 from Amazon and just got it yesterday. I am so in.

    The walk out pushups are tough but I find the strength circuit 3 horrid. The second set of military presses while kicking on one foot, my shoulders are SCREAMING. lol

    I'm up for ripped in 30 after this!!!


    L2D2 is done. I do have a question for Jillian exactly what is "making your heart guggle" (cardio circuit 2)? lol I'm sore in different places for level 2 than level1! I also noticed my fitness had drastically improved! My heart rate doesn't get as high and drops quicker after exercise, which means my heart is in better shape but I burn less calories :(. Darn double edge sword.

    I may need to go order ripped in 30!! I was already working up my own challenges for when this is done. ;)

    I'm almost halfway through!! I can't believe it!
    ChereObebe, I just went on because I was bored with level 1 because of so many previous false starts. Level two is hard but in so many different ways! My least favorite are the V raises!! I am screaming at the tv during those. That second cardio circuit is a killer for me too.

    I do think that Jillian needs a better sports bra in this round. I thought she was going to fall out during high knees! :laugh:
  • This is when I am so glad I have a bunch of people doing this with me... Level 2 Day 3 and I am so fricken burned out on Jillian and 30DS today... about halfway through I was tempted to turn off my TV and run away, lol.

    But I did not, day 3 in the books and will keep on shreddin... just to say I did. This round it is more of muscle weakness I am having difficulty with, not so much the cardio fitness, although double jump rope makes me cringe. :)

    I am with you about the V raises... they make my arms want to fall off.

    :)

    @ jaimieht I was very annoyed with Jillian on level 1, I tried it with just music but didn't like it either. I wish you could turn her babble off!
  • Did LV2D2 last night and OMG I hate plank pose. At the last circuit I was like seriously can't I just do the bike crunchs like LV1. Day 3 tonight, I'm not even going to watch LV3 before I'm there. I'm too scared. So up for ripped though going to order it now so by the time I'm done I'll be ready.

    Today is day 15 for me!!!

    Once today's workout is done I'm official more than halfway!!

    That makes me super excited.

    Level two has been a killer for me. :tongue: a can't get off the floor when I'm done killer. That last strength circuit has not gotten any easier, it seems!
    The good news is, I'm not sore. I can't imagine how sore I would be if I hadn't been doing this every day! I'm actually excited to take my measurements in a few days. Thanks for all the motivation. I know that I wouldn't have been this consistent if it hadn't been for this group keeping me accountable. There have been several days where I would just rather get on the treadmill instead. :happy:

    Keep shredding girls!

    Day 13 (L2D3) is done. This morning was hard. I didn't want to get up! I didn't want to exercise! But its done, and I'm glad I did it. I think all the planks are causing my neck to hurt (or it could be the stress at work.) Hope everyone has a better shred than me.
  • Level 2 Day 4... and I am feeling it. And it, surprisingly, feels good.

    I am also doing the C25K training and today I had some kind of running breakthrough and I think the euphoria is carrying over... lol

    I feel worked out, hard, but I feel like this is possible instead of killing me :)

    Go team!

    Me too! Excited about level 2. Just waiting for the kids to finish watching their transformers dark side of the moon so I can put in my 30DS and get L1D10 finished :)

    L1 D8 done. Felt great

    Sorry had to have a few days off due to sickness but I'm back on it now.

    I'm feeling ready to move up to level 2 now and I've upped my weights to 3kg and they felt better today.

    Hope everyone is doing well. Keep up the good work.

    Completed LV2D3 tonight. We went to a friends house last night for a going away so I didn't do it last night. I worked hard and am going to be feeling it in the morning. I don't know about you guys but I like doing the workout at night. After I finish I post on here, head to a nice hot shower and then go to bed. I don't think I have slept this good in a long time. Today I offically hit 40lbs since the beginning of March and I'm so excited about that.

    Since I missed L1D10 yesterday and wanted to get back on track I did both L1D10 and L2D1. It is plank city and I know I am going to feel it in my abs and upper body tomorrow! Or maybe the day after tomorrow lol. Was dripping like waterfall with sweat afterwards. Cant wait to do L2D2 tomorrow! I think I was getting bored with Level 1 cuz I am way so more motivated again!

    I did level 2 day 5 yesterday, and I probably shouldn't have. I was feeling cruddy and I knew I was coming down with something and I think I phoned some of it in. Heh.

    Today I am taking a day of rest. I am congested and feel cruddy and I am just chilling a little bit from everything. Level 2 Day 6 tomorrow :)

    L2D6 in the books tonight.... and I feel good.

    Either level 2 is easier than level 1, or I am actually improving, or my day of rest yesterday made a difference.

    Who knows... But I am over the half point! woot :)

    Completed LV2D5 last night. I screwed up my L ankle so tonight I'm going to do different cardio besides the double jump. Any suggestions? I don't want to take a break just modifying so I don't hurt myself worse.
