😉 As much as I’m loving the results and workouts from the Shred and now Ripped In 30, I think I’m starting to get a little bored of doing the same workout day after day. no workout #2… But, I decided to pull out Jillian’s Yoga Meltdown and it made me feel so good!Īnother day, another dollar…. When you lift into the superman pose, you have to press/lift the weights up = HARD! I definitely struggle in that move, but like I said before, it gives me something to work towards in these last 3 days. All afternoon I had planned on taking the evening off – ie. As I mentioned yesterday, the one move that is EXTREMELY hard is superman’s with the 5lb weights in hand. I’m really starting to get the hang of this level, so I just went through the motions all while really trying to keep my intensity up. I went to the farm tonight after work despite feeling really tired and to my surprise, I ended up riding Chelsea for 40 minutes! Time flies when you’re having fun.īoy was I tired this morning! I haven’t been sleeping very well the past few nights and this morning I could have easily used another hour or 2 of sleep – and that’s after getting just under 8!! Part of me really wanted to skip today, but I’ve been doing so well that I knew I would be mad at myself if I didn’t just suck it up. Level 4 with heavier weights is HARD! If doing presses followed by rows all while remaining in the squat position wasn’t hard enough, doing the superman with 5lb weights was INSANE!! At least that gives me something to work towards this week. Wow my legs were sore this morning! I’m not sure if it’s because of level 4, or because of the extra added circuit workout I did on Saturday! 😉 Since I’m on the home stretch now, I told the 3lb weights to stay on the shelf this morning while only taking out the 5lb ones. No biggie though! As long as I keep on moving right? I am so determind to push my body to the limit this week in attempt to reach that total 10lb loss by next Monday! We shall see!! Oh and I also got a great ride in on Chelsea tonight for workout #2! Unfortunately my knees have a hard time with a lot of the plyometric moves and in this level I’ve had to sub the scissor jumps for butt-kicks and the double jump rope, for single. I’m used to having to sub moves for something else in these workouts and this level is no different. I used my 3lb weights to get a feel for everything but might up them tomorrow. Here we go, level 4!! As usual, day 1 is a little rough simply because it takes me a little bit to actually ‘get’ the new moves.


I LOVE IT!Īnyway, I’m pretty sure you just want me to get down to the results now right? So here you go, my day-to-day run downs of Level 4! This is going to sound crazy, but as much as I complain about how tired I am in the week, and as much as I love my rest day on Sunday, I keep finshing myself anxious to start a new week and challenge myself in new ways. As tired as I still am when I drag my little butt out of bed in the mornings means nothing in comparison to the adreneline and overal incredible feeling that comes over me 35 minutes later as I have finished my workouts. I never in a million years pegged myself as someone who would be able to do the daily workout thing before work and only 2 short months ago, I proved myself wrong.

You can see them in my after shots below. I have completed another 4 week challenge and actually feel stronger than ever! My gift for finishing this challenge? I got myself 2 this time because I deserved it – a new pair of workout shorts ( in size XS!! holy!) and a new sports bra.
