Daimere - I think it's good to listen to your body so I personally don't think you are doing it wrong. I also jog in place with high intensity (pumping arms, raising my legs) instead of doing jumping jacks.

L1 D1 completed. I will be honest, I was sweating and my arms felt like they would fall off however, my abs are not sore and I think it is because I still cannot figure out how to do a crunch without straining my neck. I try performing the crunch and I can only move my shoulders slightly off the ground, which is barely working my abs. Minus the straining of the neck, is this how you perform a crunch, thumbs behind the ears and engaging the core with your chin off your chest? I do not feel like I am doing it properly because I barely move when I am performing them, my upper body strength is terrible.

Ha. I didn't eat before my last day on shred and i could feel it. Those other days of not pushing myself was nothing compared to yesterday. Lazy day! I definitely cannot do this workout hungry. I think the morning i will have to take a rest day to recover plus i didn't sleep much today. I just am really hoping that 30ds will help me lose inches. My inches lost has been so slow

L2D9 totally "fell off the wagon" this weekend ugh scales gone back up but back at it again today with added walking. Cant wait for L3 :)

L2D10 can't believe its the last day for L2.

Whats everyones plans after they finish this?

i have another of her dvds, the burn fat boot metabolism i plan to do after then i'll have to get more dvds to keep me from getting bored.

L2D3 done! I really don't like those walking push-ups. I guess it's just that a new level is so much harder than the older one, or I just got used to the old moves. Anyway, I can't wait til this is easier.

Day 5 of L2 completed! I had a really good workout this morning. I started off doing 20 squats with 12 lb weights (squat challenge), the I did a 2 mile Walk Away The Pounds dvd and then on to 30 DS. I literally had sweat dripping off my body onto the floor. So glad I decided to add this dvd to my current workout schedule. I'm loving how tight my core/obliques and arms are feeling!!


I think I'm going to do every other day of L2 and L3. For example Tuesday - L2, Thursday L3, Saturday L2. Good job with moving on to L3!

Just Dance Girl - Hopefully those walking push ups will get better each time you do them. :)

Oh man, on L3D4! L3 is definitely doable, but very mental! A for my next steps, I'm going to do Jillian's no more trouble zones! They say it takes 21 days to make a habit, and I feel amazing that I have worked out break-free since starting! I'm going to do No More Trouble Zones maybe 6 days a week for the month of May, and then likely Ripped in 30 for the month of June! I find I work well with month-long increments!

OMG i just finished L3D1 AND i also did day 6 of the squat challenge AND the 300 ab challenge. whew L3 just flew by and felt amazing.
