Ohmygod. I don't know how many of you have done this, but I just started level 3 of Jillian's 30 day shred today. You know how in level 2, where she says "I want you guys to feel as though you're going to die"? Well in level 3, I think she is actually trying to literally kill me. My thighs have been burning for like 30 minutes and I couldn't even do the full amount of all the exercises! Did anyone else have this much trouble starting level 3?

  • Oh god, I'm already burnt out on day 3 of level one! I must really be out of shape. I'm going to progress to level two after 10 days, and then level three after 20. The one question I have is, as you get several days into the level, does it get any easier? Because right now I'm growing more sore by the minute! 27 days to go....

    Level 1 and level 2 got easier, I did about 10 days on each and by the end felt pretty much ready to move up (then I move up and instantly believe that I should have spent another day, or 2, or month, or year on level 1...or the couch...haha I can hardly move!) It gets better, though--I def have way more stamina, etc, than I did when my out of shape butt started level 1 (not that I'm in shape now, but WAY better...). Stick with it! (I say as I retire to my bed to surround myself in heating pads....lol)

    I did Level 3 for the first time today too. AND I walked for an hour. My legs hate me. HATE. ME. And Level 3 was insane. I really do think she is trying to kill me with all that jumping. I hate her.

    This is too funny. My oldest son is terrified of Jillian Michaels. He would totally agree that she was the devil.
  • I'm on day 3 of level 1 too! Do you find it's getting any easier?
  • Levels 2 and 3 are hard! Try combining both of them. That will definitally kill you. Good luck!
  • I'm scared. I just started Level 2 a few days ago and I feel like I might die.

    I move to level 2 tomorrow. When I started level 1 I was in pain for 5 days but pushed through everyday. After that I was fine but kept with it, so I'm sure (at least I'm hoping) level 2 and 3 will be like that too! haha

    I'm doing level 3 for the first time in about an hour! Hopefully I will still be able to take the dog on a walk after the devil gets me.

    I haven't done any of them, but I had to pipe in because I love the topic. That is so funny.

    hahaha, I'm on day 9 of level 3. It gets easier, i promise. My first day all my blog said was "today i started level 3 .... i hate it" LOL
    It really does get easier though (like the other levels did for you). It doesn't seem like it will, but it does.
    However, i still have a ***** of a time with those sumo squats. kill me now.

    Haha, those plie ones nearly killed me! I could do maybe 1 for every 2 she did! I was seriously concerned I was going to land and keep going down b/c my legs felt like rubber!
