I did it. I laid on the ground and watched them do the last set of strength training then I got up and finished. But I did do about 30 minutes on my Gazelle before the challenge.

Anybody else have a Gazelle? I love mine. It keeps great legs, if you ride it. :flowerforyou:

Happy Friday!

    ^^^^^ Happy Friday!
    I will admit I spent a few extra seconds on the floor during my 30 DS this morning! After the ab moves and straight into strength-Ugghh! I am not sure what Gazelle is, but do tell! My biggest problem areas are my legs (thighs).

    I didn't have the strength to workout this morning but I will be hard at it tonight. I just got my 30DS dvd yesterday. I've been doing Shred with weights and it is no joke! Hope everyone has a good day!

    Did last night. Took me a few seconds to catch up with what they were doing a couple of sets but then continued after they stopped to make up for it. Able to do butt kicks easier then when I started for sure. I took measurements real quick before I started last night just to give myself an extra push. Don't remember actual numbers but I have lost at least 5 inches already!

    Did my first part of Day 5, it got easier, hooray! Will have to do Cardio later, I really don't like the Cardio this week.

    Have a great day everyone!

    Hi - I'm on Level One, Day 9. I may go 15 days on Level one before moving on. I am really scared to move on! Does anyone else think they get up really fast from the ab work to strength? It seems like they are always up and ready to move while I'm still getting up!

    Day 10 on L2 of 30ds done! I'm probably taking it easy for the rest of the day. I may do yoga or streching mid-day, but yesterday I did a really good, hard workout which I'll be doing again tomorrow.

    One more day of L2 for me (I went to L2 early). Then a break on Sunday and onto L3 on Monday. I'm excited and nervous to start a new level.

    Keep on keepin' on, everyone! No slacking, no quitting! :flowerforyou:

    The last 2 days I've had to work out at night - yuck. Hard to get the same energy level at night versus earlier in the day. But I did it. The cardio is a b**** at night! Does anyone else sometimes want to smack Jillian senseless in the middle of the workout? Although I do need someone to be tough on me! I'm doing the Ripped in 30 and I'm anxious yet nervous to move to week 2. Good job everyone!

    I've been sick the last two days... I know there are NO excuses, but sometimes your body will just give out on you and you need to rest. So that is what I did. Still don't feel 100% yet, but I'm going to do my W1/D3 of Ripped in 30 tonight - maybe without the weights. And I'll definitely walk to dog tonight too... something is better than nothing!

    I am doing the Ripped in 30 too. I do it at night because I already get up at 5am to get myself and my daughter ready for daycare. I hate the cardio part of it! I don't know why it takes so much out of me, but it does... I noticed that when I concentrate on form and breathing, it makes it easier. Stay at it! I'm kind of nervous for level two as well, but I've still got 3 more days of L1.

    Good luck to you!!!

    You're the first person I've come across who is (or who has) done Shred It with Weights :) That's what I'm doing as well, and I LOVE it.

    Did 6W6P this morning, I am not a morning exerciser but I got up early and I did it. I did want to shout obscenities at the tv but the OH was still sleeping!

    I am doing my day 5 tonight. I took a break yesterday because I ran 5k and needed a break from the shred as the day before I did shred, 4 min abs, 5k and a spin class. PHEW...can I be honest and say I am NOT looking forward to dealing with her bubbly pushy personality today?

    I'm now 20 days into this and feeling great. So I'm trying not to feel guilty about skipping Wednesday and I just did not have time last night. I'm leaving work a bit early so I can squeeze in NMTZ before a night out with the girls. All day dance competition tomorrow with my daughter so won't work out again until Sunday evening when we get home.

    Have a great weekend everybody

    Fortunately, today is a scheduled rest day in my MTC program, because I've been lying in bed all day fighting off a cold my husband gave me! I'm hoping to stop it in its tracks.

    Tomorrow is another scheduled rest day in the program. I looked at the circuits I'm supposed to be doing starting Sunday, and I get why they have two rest days scheduled back to back. Ouch!

    I'll probably spend tomorrow biking to the beach and playing with our pups!
