Absolutely. You simply jump on in and feel free to post with your progress! The more the merrier, I find it's really wonderful motivation to compare notes with one another, or even just to see that you're not the only one struggling through parts. Makes it a bit easier to push through. Day 4 of Level 2. I'm still counting…

You're crazy. ;) I don't think my knees & arms could do another round. I'm still not sold that they can get through the first one.
-
Glad to know others are having the same enjoyment from the used ones.
-
Sounds good. I missed yesterday because I was wiped with my other routines, but I'll jump back on track tonight.

Day 3 level 2. 7 more days to go.
-
Yes, it was a phenomenal deal. I had posted the ad a few weeks back, and now that I am flat broke I got a response from someone willing to take $100. So... no hesitance whatsoever, and now a little more broke. :p So far I've made tons of smoothies, a v8 & sunflower butter. I have no regrets. My father even made a custom…

Just finished day 3 of level 2. Still hating it, but it was just the *tiniest* bit easier, for whatever it's worth. I'm still doing the countdown til level 3. Haven't allowed myself a rest day yet, though I truly wanted to before I started today. I am too afraid at this point that if I take a rest day from level 2, I wont…

What an amazing post! You both look wonderful.
-
Wow! Absolutely amazing work. <3

I did my second day of level 2 today & I still absolutely hate it. The only good thing I can say about it is that there are only 8 more days to go. I hate those planks with a passion... :(
-
For those further into the routine (or who can base this from other exercise routines they've done)... I'm curious to know if weight or inches are easier or harder to shred off when you are already pretty tiny (as in, I don't really want to lose weight, but I want to tone up & tighten my butt & thighs). I ask because I've…

It made me feel better knowing I'm not the only one who hates this level. I'm just counting down the days.

Day 12 (Day 2 of level 2). I'm not going to lie. I still hate this with a passion. Today was the first day I did not eagerly jump out of bed to do my routine, and it was as unenjoyable as yesterday. The planks are kicking my butt royally, and I can hear myself making almost crying noises just trying to get through them.…

I can't wait to hear what you think. I really liked the first one. Got Sweatin' to the Oldies 2 & absolutely hated it. I didn't like the slower pace or the moves, & I couldn't really even figure out half of what they were doing. Personally, I think the first one was filmed better and was easier to decipher. I'll be…

Day 1 of level 2. Pure hatred. 9 more days.
-
Day 1 of Level 2... I don't have the words to describe how much I hate it. 9 more days. :(
-
Bugger... those are my weak points. :p Hopefully they wont be for long. ;)
-
You women look AMAZING! I wish I had curves like you. <3

@ wizbeth: You say you use a coffee table to improvise the planks. Is there any other equipment or household furniture that will be needed for level 2, or to improvise level 2? So far I have weights, a stepping stool & my sewing stool as my handy "go to" items. Anything else I need? I will surely need to do the improvised…
-
Another thing I find myself thinking to pull myself through while I'm doing the workout: "I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. Fine, for 20 minutes I'm going to truly hate this. Then, once I'm done, I'm going to love it for the rest of the day". Or, to get through the hard exercises: "I hate this. I hate this, I hate…

Day 10 level 1... tomorrow starts the dreaded level 2... dun.dun.dun.... :p
-
Take one now. I took mine on day 6 as I hadn't realized until then that I really did want to be able to *see* the changes.
-
Day TEN!!! level 1. Tomorrow I find out how bad level 2 really is... *eek* For those trooping through level 1, here's my experience that may or may not help you through: For starters, I want it to be clear that I am NOT trying to lose weight, but I am trying to tone up some fat & regain the muscle loss that I've allowed to…
-
Congratulations. You've made it through the hardest part, now your body is getting used to being pushed & your mind knows you can do it. You look wonderful.
-
Day 2 of Sweatin' with the Oldies complete. & just got Sweatin' w/ the Oldies 2 from the library, so that's the gamplan for tomorrow. I'm doing all my other workouts in the AM & mid-day, and using this as my fun relaxing one at night. It's actually a nice change of pace after a long stretch of sitting & sewing, and I find…
-
Glad to hear you rescued that kitty, even if it cost an arm and a leg. Hopefully he'll get settled with your own cats quickly & you can join in again. ;)

I hadn't even made a plan past getting through the 30 days. I currently own Killer Buns & Thighs, which might be what I aim for next since I want my butt toned. & I have JM for Beginners, Frontside/Backside. Is Ripped in 30 more focused on abs? If so, I'll probably aim for the Killer Buns/Thighs. Otherwise, I might be…
-
Wouldn't it be more like 10 & 10, since it's a 20 minute dvd & the weights are only in it part of the time?
-
@ lulaloops: Don't worry just yet, you've just got to stick with it. I was *this* ready to quit around day 3 or 4, and was definitely feeling defeated during most of the workout (couldn't do the full 30 seconds for many of the exercises). Now on day 9 I'm feeling much better about it & can follow the whole thing through. I…
