Onto day 10 of level 2 today. Might double up and do the first session of level 3 today so I can fnish it in the 30 days by May 31st (still haven't made back up the day I missed the other week when I was in hospital emerency over night).

Bump.

When I was running longer distances (15km so about 10 miles) I would burn around 600 calories per hour (the run would take about 75 minutes) so I guess if I did that for 10 hours (I wish!!!) that would be about 6000 calories and I am half your size so I guess, in theory, an 8000 calorie burn in 10 hours is possible if you…

What brand of HRM are you using? A resting heart rate of 106 is very high. Did you take it first thing in the morning before rising from bed? That is when you are meant to take it as your baseline.

Are you sure you have it set to calories and not kilojoules? 1 calorie = 4.2 kilojoules. If your settings are wrong this would make your expenditure 2141 calories, or about 210 calories per hour, or 3.5 calories per minute which is probably more in the ball park. The only way I manage to burn 10+ calories per minute is…

Bump.

Day 7 Level 2 done and I got through without stopping or modifying anything although my second set of v-flies weren't quite at Natalie's standard. Previewed Level 3 - it looks intense but I'm keen to start it on Monday. I can now definitely feel a change in the shape of my hips and butt.

I'm currently on day 17 of the 30DS and am considering doing Ripped in 30 next so I'm keen to keep an eye on your thread and see how you are finding RI30. Good luck :-)

Well done frats - 17 days without missing a workout. I am doing my 17th workout today - am thinking I might try and do a double workout on the weekend so I catch up, although with the time zone differences I think we'll end up finishing on the same day providing I don't miss any more days.

The side lung was definitely my least favourite move from level 1. So hard.

I can definitely feel it in my legs with the static lunge and squat. I hated the plank stuff the first few days, even though I'm really good at static planks, but I'm getting use to it now that I'm 5 days in. I still HATE the chair squat with a v-fly which is the final strength move. Why oh why did she have to leave that…

I included beetroots in last nights roast veggies that I did for dinner (pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato, potato along with peas) and my boyfriend really liked them. My beetroot relish recipe that I tried yesterday; 250 grams beetroot peeled and grated one tablespoon sultanas or raisons one tablespoon brown sugar one…

I'm an Aussie and it is true we are crazy about beetroot but I've only ever eaten it from a tin - this week's project is my first foray into dealing with it 'straight from the ground' so to speak.

Tried the kale chips but they came out really bitter. Don't know if I did something wrong?? I just made a batch of the beetroot relish and it came out really yummy.

Unsalted nuts (I like almonds, walnuts, macademias, hazlenuts). Dried fruit (dates and figs are especially high in fibre). For my morning snack I put a cup of frozen raspberries in a plastic container and pour about 100ml yoghurt over it - the raspberries keep the yoghurt cool and by morning tea they have defrosted and mix…

Wow. I can't imagine being in this dilemma because I LOVE fruit. As a lot of the others said you can probably get the majority of the nutrients you need by upping your veggies to compensate for not eating fruit. I, however, believe variety is important in being able to sustain a change to a healthy lifestyle - if you eat…

The kale chips sound awesome. I'm definitely going to try them today. I have found a recipe for beetroot relish. I think I'll give that a go and if it is any good I'll post it - I figure it might be a way to jazz up my roast veggie wraps. I have so much beetroot I might try roasting some too. Was thinking of making stirfry…

So today will be day 15 for me (I missed last Wednesday after spending the night in the emergency room). I had my boyfriend do a few measurements for me last night because I couldn't wait until day 30. I don't appear to have lost anything off my waist or thighs, though these were probably two of my most toned areas to…

I might have to try that. I had been doing the combination move but on the second set I've been doing three or four combined squats/v-flies then giving my shoulders a break by doing a straight squat or two before then resuming the combination move.

Level 2 day 4 done. Nearly halfway. Tonight felt a little easier though I still hate those chair squats with the v-fly at the end.

I've just kicked over into maintenance mode and am aiming to build strength and cardio endurance and to eat as much healthy, high nutrient food as possible.

I just did day 1 of level 2. I did level 1 standing on the rug but today it kept bunching up under my feet so I think I might need to do level 2 on the tiles. I found those narrow squats with the v lift at the end really hard. On the upside I burnt 238 calories which is more than I did during any day of level 1.
