    L1D7 done. Still struggling w/ push-ups and anterior raises, although I'm getting more push-ups in. My endurance is much better than when I started.

    L2D4 completed last night. Had a really crummy day so I was extra irritated with Jillian, but at least it's done.

    Has anyone else had soreness right above their knees? I've had knee pain before due to running, but that was more in the patella/lower knee area. This is right at the top of the knee cap, very localized. I had it during L1 as well. Not sure what it's from....

    L1D9 done :) Didn't manage to do any over the weekend, am a bit disappointed in myself for being on day 9 twenty days in! But I am very determined now. We were staying with family last week for a wedding and my Father-in-law mentioned how fat I am :neutral:
    Probably wont see him again until August, so I am determined to be two stone lighter!

    L2D1 done. Yeah those chair squat V raises are a *kitten*. Right after I finally got used to the anterior raises. But I think this level will be doable, though I will do rest days this time

    I've had trouble in my knees before too. maybe the squats are doing it? that high impact stiff really kills me though. I make sure to alternate how intense I am doing the exercises because of that. good luck!

    I begrudgingly took this weekend as rest days... My fiancé says I need rest days; smh.
    It was lovely though; I'll NEVER tell him that... lol!

    Today I completed L02D08. It was tough. After my days off it was the LAST thing I felt like pushing through. But hooray I did it!

    Wednesday will be my LAST day on Level 2 :) I'm excited to be done w/ this whole thing.. lol!

    Does the DVD mention rest days, and if so, how many? (I only watch it via YouTube.) Does she say to go 30 days straight or to do it a certain number of times per week?

    The video itself doesn't offer any guidance on rest days and diet. I did level one with no rest days, and I don't think that did me any favors. This time i'm going to two rest days right in the middle, and see if that helps me get through some of the tougher moves

    also; wtf is a double-jump??? that's not even humanely possible to double jump. so what does she mean?! just jump as high as you can continuously?? It annoys me & confuses me.

    OMG...I know. I guess just jump higher whilst whipping your arms around like a fish flopping around on dry land? I can barely handle the regular jumping, so no thank you Jillian!!

    Seriously the only differnce is spinning the arms faster. I just did the regular jump "rope". In her Jillians Michaels for Beginners workout, she has her guy doing jump rope with 8 lb weights in each hand

    I feel the same way doing those ridiculous double jumps! I feel like I'm just flapping my arms around and I almost fall over every time!

    Was doing cross fit a while back. They make you do double jumps=two times the cord passes under before you hit the ground between jumps. Freaking nearly impossible lol. They gave up on me and said do speed rope for now

    L2D5 done; halfway through L2! Halfway through the workout yesterday I had a hair malfunction and had to stop for a minute or so to deal with it. I have to say, that rest felt awesome :) Just out of curiosity, how do you long-haired ladies keep your hair up? I have waist-length hair and have to resort to a bun secured with various ponytail elastics and claw-type clips to keep it all up and stable. A ponytail would be easier but it just ends up whipping me in the face or getting stuck to the sweat on my neck and shoulders. Any hair gadgets to recommend?

    L2D2 done. Had to take a phone call in the middle of pendulum lunges. So hard to catch my breath enough to talk, I had to keep apologizing.

    Also went to the doctor this morning for a physical and had blood drawn ( have to fast tomorrow morning so I can get the last bit done though). And I'm proud that I still managed to get my workout done, normally I would blow it off for the day if I don't get it done in the morning.

    I hope everyone isn't doing the 30 day shred without breaks! BEcause if you do you will hurt yourself!

    I'm still walking around, I may have even ran chasing my dog a few times and I've done 43 days straight today, the first 30 done as they should be and the last 13 on a rotation 1,2,3 rpt.

    I use some hair ties from Sweaty Betty to tie my hair in the nape of my neck, I'm afraid I can help with the sweating my head always ends up sweaty.

    wow- how did i not see this posting group! I really like doing JM. Started on April 1. Today did L3D1 today. Its all waaay easier for me than L1D1- so much so that I added in 10 minutes of L1 as well. Gonna swap between L1 and L2 each day as an add on and go as long as I can.

    L2 Day 5 today, also did a Zumba class, so got lots of exercise! I felt really tired today, and wasn't very into either one, felt great after I did the Shred, but the weather changed here again (grey and rainy after a beautiful weekend) and did something to my mood! Half way through the Shred!!
