Looks like it was a slow day! i did week 4 l1 on tuesday!

AWESOME!! (thanks for starting the thread!!) I finished L3D5 today and will be moving on to Level 4 tomorrow. I'm kind of afraid of what she is going to throw at us next! But looking forward to getting my butt kicked again!

Ouch! I might just be a big baby and I did get all 4 of mine out at once, it took me 2 weeks till i actually felt good enough to do more than just walking.

ok good at least i am not the only one who felt unbalanced. your way is a great idea too, maybe i will try that tomorrow. good luck with your challenge and thats awesome to keep trying to beat yourself- might even be more fun than trying to beat your bf!

oh wow you are almost done!!! awesome work!!

YES! YES! YES!!! he is so HOT!!!

^^^this is true <3

You beat me!!! I had a late start at work today and opted to do L3 D3 and finish it up with some Biggest Loser weight loss yoga. Wow what a great morning SWEAT! Anyways.... I bought burn fat boost metabolism and i am thinking that since that is more cardio once I finish ripped I will make sure to do that 5-6 days a week…

I weigh in once a week and measure once a month

One thing I was tryign to do that helped a little but I dont know if its actually good or not I was kind of in the position you would be in when you sit down in pilates.. do you know what i'm talking about how you put one leg behind the other and lower yourself down? But i dont know if its good for your knees to come up…

At least I'm not alone in this. I seriously get sooo frustrated with this move!!

oh wow I just did my first day of level 3! what a great challenging workout... hopefully i'll have some arm strength to do it again tomorrow! lol

Week 2 is much more fun in my opinion :)

Awesome plan! I didnt take any rest days during 30 day shred and my body was not happy with me afterwards so I have accepted rest as part of my life lol How is week 3 treating you?

you look fantastic!!! strength training rocks!!

OMG I had the biggest crush on Matt Devine when I was in high School- they were still a local chicago band then and played all the time <3 <3 <3

what is HIIT and IF?

good luck! i really think it will be a good workout for you, maybe challenging but definitely nothing compared to how it would have felt over a month ago! you are strong! even if you take a week off. its rest and i was actually told that after doing the 30 DS 30 days straight like we did that taking a week off wouldnt have…

One of my favorite things to make with sweet potatoes is sweet potato hash. I shred the potato with a grater and add some onions and turkey and I let it brown a lot- its yummy and pretty low cal.

I did a yoga dvd last night and i felt brand new in the morning. I love jillian and i get that she wants to keep her sessions short but definitely need extra stretching!

You definitely do! I am going back and forth between my 8 and 5s for Level 2. I have a feeling by Level 3 I will be back down to my 5s lol

OMG 130 flights??? That is crazy. Looks like we are all finding the need to step up our cardio. Love having people who are on the same path as me to do this with! You guys rock!

I turned 30 in December and while the number isnt bugging me it has motivated me, I just ready to focus more on me and achieve everything I have been putting on the backburner. 30 is a great year!

I didnt find Level 1 very challenging either after 30DS. I used 5 lbs for 30 DS and am now using 8lbs for Ripped. I am going to keep trying to do extra cardio as well. The zumba ripped combination really made me remember how I am supposed to feel after an intense workout!

We are happy to have you here! The more the merrier! I am really loving the 3 strength moves instead of 2 as well. I finished up the 30 DS on Feb 8 and started Ripped on the 10th :)

I started on the 10th a few days after finishing the 30 DS and started a group for Ripped. Everyone in the group is on different levels and people keep joining as they start. you are welcome to join us! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/3011-ripped-in-30-starting-february10th

Dont worry about starting late. we are all on different levels and happy to have you here!! unless you have a heart rate monitor everyone is logging it as circuit training.

You look amazing. You are so inspirational!

woo-hoo!!!!

Whatever L3 has in store for us, you have got this! The good thing about these workouts is that they are really preparing you for the next step. Cant wait to hear about it :smile:
