Got through the entire first workout today! It was pretty tough - I did pause a few times to catch my breath, but I still finished it in less than 30 minutes I think.
I do have one issue - I can't do push ups! I can't even do Anita's version! Did anyone else have this problem?
I just completed Level 1 Day 1 today, I had to restart since I fell off the bandwagon, lol. I too cannot do a normal pushup. My upper body strength is pretty bad, hopefully it will improve. As I type this, I can perform a plant for almost 1 min,so I am not for sure why I have such as hard time with a pushup.
when ever i have issues with a part of the workout i modify it for me, example is i can't do the plank stuff cause my wrist so i do them on a bench type thing and just try my hardest.
Level 1 Day 1 1/2. Technically it would be Day 2 but I thought I could push myself and do the ToneIt Up DVD Surfer Babe workout beforehand and I was dead wrong. I got 8 minutes into the 30 DS and I had to stop. I think I am just going to focus on the 30 DS and then once I am done with this I will go to the ToneIt Up DVD. I also noticed, I am not nearly as sore after I do the 30 DS as I am with the Tone It Up Dvd, is this normal? I mean the 30DS is a lot more intense then the TIU Dvd however after I do the TIU Surfer Babe workout (its only 24 mins), the day after I feel like I was run over.
WOO!!! I FINISHED THE SHRED TODAY!!! I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF! I started at 191.6 and weighed in at 177.7 today. I can definitely see a difference in my abs and I guess I got stronger because the workouts got easier!
I was definitely tired of Level 3 by the end. I did it without any breaks (except a break between Day 29 and 30! haha) but I recently heard it was intended to go shred-->shred-->cardio-->rest day. So, do whatever works for you guys!
I am moving on to No More Trouble Zones tomorrow, 5-6x a week and eating at least 1500 calories. My goal is to eat around 1200, but to always include exercise calories in that.
Thank you for your enduring support on this thread!!!
I did level 2. I phoned it in. But I was trying to figure out what moves I could do and what I fcouldn't. Tomorrow will be harder and better. If it's like level 1, first 3 days sucked for me and then bam! Pushing harder and harder every day
Right on NorthernChick!!!! Congrats on finishing!!!
I woke up this morning, and I am SO SORE! I can't believe 25 minutes of working out can make me this sore. I'm pretty sure if I do L1D2 today Im going to throw up...
yayyyy!! I can't believe I missed this thread before!
I am on D3L1, and today was MUCH better than the last two! but I want to chuck my weights out the window when it comes to that last squat and press exercise!
One thing for me though, I'm not sore at all in my abs (only ever sore in my arms and thighs) and everyone on the mfp thread keeps saying their abs are sore so I'm guessing I'm not doing them right?? I want my waist to shrink!!
hhm6 my abs were never sore either but my legs and arms killed. even with me throwing in the 300 ab challenge so i think it just depends on the person.
