    anybody else thinking that "Natalie" would rather be doing the modified versions instead of the advanced ones? :laugh:

    She totally cheats on 2 of the lunges when she thinks the camera is on Whitney!!!! LOL

    And she is always standing up a little bit on her squats too! cracks me up :laugh: and makes me feel better about myself for sticking it out!

    Makes me feel human! :tongue:
    And it was Anita....not Whitney. :blushing:

    Hey guys, ot logged on a couple of days but thought I'd update you with my progress.

    I've not missed a day and decided to make the switch to level 2 on day 7.
    I'm finding day 2 tough on the upper body, man your shoulders burn at times!!!

    And Natalie has a wee cheat on level 2 aswell haha. Jillian notices aswell, it's quite funny!

    I start Monday....is it as hard on the legs as level1?

    I dont think it's near as tough on the legs, but then I think my legs are stronger already.

    Shoulders are the one area that really burns on level 2, a lot of the strength work on them, plus the plank jacks/squat thrusts in the cardio section put static pressure on them.

    I'm generally quite weak in the upper body though, so might be finding it tougher than most.

    yeah, definitely feel the burn in the shoulders on level 2! :explode:
    are you able to do the true versions of the plank jacks and squat thrusts? i have only been able to get a few good ones in, then I switch to the modified versions. Can't imagine a time that I'll be doing them all, but I hope I improve!

    I've modded them slightly differently.
    I have my hands on a chair so I'm not right down on the ground, it really helps wqith the pressure on the shoulders. I do manage to do Natalies leg movements that way.

    I'm hoping that I'll see a big improvement in my upper body and really hope to be doing the squat thrusts and plank jacks properly soon.
    I noticed an improvement quite quickly on level 1, so hopefully it'll be the same for level 2 for me.

    Hi -
    Looking forward to Level 2 (I think). I'm about done with Level 1. Plus, I looked at the calendar and realized I have three weeks before I go on vacation. I'd like to do Level 2 and Level 3 in that time period, so I'd better get going on Level 2. I think my shoulders are hurting at just the thought of it.... :noway:

    Just for something different last night, I did Jillian's Yoga Meltdown. OMG - that is no joke! (as Jillian would say). Holy crap. It was supposed to be an easy night of yoga to give my legs a break. Yeah, not so much. WOW. OK, back to the Shred tonight!

    Have a good day everyone!

    I missed my shred last night, was really busy when I got in from work, feeling bad about it, would have been day 11 (not taken a day off from the shred yet)

    Might do levels 1 AND 2 tonight to punish myself........ I'm feeling sore at the thought!!!

    Did Level 2 last night, not too bad. Although I did it in our office upstairs, and the room was hot with no fan. I was sweating buckets! :noway: Tomorrow, I'll be doing it in the living room downstairs where it's cool.

    I did o.k. on the planks. I like the cardio better in Level 2, was really getting bored with jumping jacks.

    No Shred tonight - going out with the hubby for our anniversary! :drinker: :drinker: Happy Friday everyone!

    Hi everyone!
    I know I'm late on joining...but I started with 30DS on July 3. I've not been real consistent with working out daily (last week, I missed 2 days, and this week was VERY bad...I got a workout in yesterday morning, and plan on getting one in tonight).

    I am on day 2 of Level 2. Level 2 is much more difficult for me...it is a killer on the shoulders!! But, I love the challenge!!

    I hope it's ok that I join this thread! You are all so great on giving feedback and providing support!! :smile:
