A Little Experiment

As you all know, level 2 has been a tough road for me. Today Amy said she had enough and could not even think of another chair squat lift thingy. So, instead of doing something else we decided we would try out level 3 - still doing the shred just another level.

I said from watching level 3 it seemed easier. We did it and honestly it was easier. There is a lot of jumping, but I can handle that.

My analysis of this is that level 2 is all about the upper body and level 3 is more lower body. There are planks in level 3 but it is not as intense as level 2.

Tomorrow we are back to level 2 and we are doing it to the end on Friday. We will have only done 8 days of level 2, but I think that is all I can take. In my opinion, level 2 should have been level 3 and level 3 should have been level 2.

We also discussed future plans. As of right now we are going to do two week of Tae Bo Amped after the shred. I have owned the amped system for a while and Amy is buying one. After that we are doing Core Rhythms and step for a couple weeks.

We realized that our previous workouts have not been hard enough. We both get tax returns this week so we are on the search for some seriously hard workouts. Our fitness level has went up quite a bit and this light weight stuff is not working anymore. The 30 Day Shred has shown us that we need a good butt kicking. So, I will be on the lookout for some intense exercise routines.

I am also still doing the treadmill. I did 30 minutes last night. Once school is out we are heading to the track to run stairs and run around the track, so I am hoping to increase my treadmill time in preparation for that.

I think that is all for now. :)
