Best/Worst Part of 30DS

ashleynicol3

What's your favorite & least favorite part of 30DS?

Tomorrow will be my last day of level 1. Favorite might be a bad choice of words because I don't really LIKE any of it LOL - but the best part for me is that last round of cardio jump rope because I feel like I can float off the ground at that point. Also, the stretching at the end feels amazing after you've completed the rest of the workout. :P

My least favorite part is the side lunge with anterior (?) arm raise. The lunges aren't even that bad, but my arms KILL ME with that one. Oh yeah, the push-ups at the beginning too!!!

Hope to see what you all like best/least about level 1 and the other levels, so I can see what's in store for me!

my most hated exercise is the push ups!!!!! i do love all the cardio exercises

AmoreCouture

I love the lunges, squats and ab exercises. I love lower body exercises.
I strongly dislike the anterior raises, too! I'm also doing it with 5lb weights because I can't find one of my 3lbs, but I'm getting used to it now. That's definitely my least favorite. I have no upper body strength.

PUSH UPS!!! I have done the shred 3 separate rounds and I still can't do a push up to save my life. Puny wrists!!

I HATED the push ups and jumping jacks at the beginning, but I started to love them because at the end i could do them without stopping and that made me happy. Now what I hate is the repetition. I LOVED the bicycle crunches cause I felt they were so effective, they are still my favorite.

In the beginning I hated the jumping jacks! and now I love them! I feel like like I'm floating and my legs are so toned!

Any plank position ab exercise

I would have to agree and say that the side lunge with arm raises is my least favorite. My favorite would be the ab workouts.

KateB1982

Ah, the dreaded anterior raises seem to be a trend! But I loved all ab exercises in Level 1 - they were a walk in the park compared to Level 2, IMO.

Oh yeah...none of it is really that great...but definitely effective. I'm rounding up my last few days of Level two here...so I can comment on Levels One and Two.

Level One - Least favourite - I totally agree with the side lunges/anterior arm raises. OUCH
Level Two - Least favourite - V-flies/chair squats - the bad being the V-flies OUCH. And the squat-thrusts...ouch my quads.

Best on both Levels is seeing a daily improvement in my endurance AND stretching....aaaahhhhhhh

Exactly the same for me - I find Level Three best out of all - certainly better than L2, however I've given up on L3 day 5 - don't know why really. I have just done two Davina workouts back to back! Nice to have a change - maybe I was fed up of Jillian!

deadgirl81

I'm only on day 2 of level 1 - please don't tell me its even worse lol!!

My legs hurt so much and its almost a struggle to walk up and down stairs - really dont like the squat punches, yes my legs do feel like they'e on fire!!!

WhyeatKachra

Tomorrow will be my last day of level 1 too...

Favorite: Bicycle crunches & Chest flyes

Least favorite: Push Ups (can't do the man push ups at all)

taxidermist15

char squats with a v fly!! oh god, 5lbs.. bah!!! or switch lunges, if you do them properly, which they dont.... hahha

roadtripper8

Ugh... the damn pushups!!! I hate them.

I have grown quite fond of anything ab related since I started seeing the results.

kjmommie

LOL , Im the same way with both levels . I start level three tomorrow.

I'm just about to finish level 1 and my least favorite is the jumping jacks. I discovered I have shin splints;( I didn't use that as an excuse to quit though. I just do modified ones. My favorite part is when I hit the second circuit and the endorphines kick in and I feel like super woman and breeze through the rest. I also listen to my ipod during. It really helps.

coloschick

I just purchased the 30 DS. Have you lost a lot of weight doing it? How long is the video each day? I am going to try to get my husband to do this with me each day. He is dieting also and I think it would be fun for the 2 of us to do it together.

pamperedhen

I love the cardio aspect of it, but, my arms are like 2 pieces of string attached to my body:laugh: With that being said, ANYTHING that deals with arm strength............:sad:

Deinonychus

Wow, no one liked the chair squats? I really liked them, no bouncing around just a simple and effective movement.

soosweet1920

I HATE that there are so many jumping jacks...I also hate when you have to do the side things and lift the weights. Oh and at the end the last ab workout on level one HATE IT.

Parts I like are pretty much the whole circuit 2 and for sure the last set of cardio!

2fit4fat

skaters and chairs ugh hate them both. skaters more so because i was a skater and that is not how you skate so it throws me

kak2m4

I can't say I love a specific part of 30DS - but I love that she totally kicks your butt the entire time. I am almost done with level 2, but like a couple of you I also hated the side lunges with anterior raises in level 1. In level 2, I hate the chair squat and v-raise. Very difficult. It would probably help if I hadn't been using 5 lb weights since the beginning...

MissSpuggz

Didn't like the either lunge workouts in level one. The first one with hammer curls because it killed my knees, and the anterior arm raises because they made my arms feel like jelly.

I like the ab work and the cardio boxing.

Moving onto level 2 in a few days so I'm sure I'll find more things to dislike!

tegtmeyerd

i have 2 days of level one left. I started out hating the bicycle crunches but now I hate the jumping jacks. You'd think by my age I'd be coordinated enough to do jumping jacks, not so much...

My least favorite part is the side lunge with anterior (?) arm raise. The lunges aren't even that bad, but my arms KILL ME with that one. Oh yeah, the push-ups at the beginning too!!!

This is my least favorite as well.. my 5lb weights seem pretty light for most of the exercises on this dvd but for the side lung w/ anterior raises hurts my arms and I always struggle on that part lol.

kwest_4_fitness

Hate the push ups. Hate, hate, hate. Love the ab work!

That one gets me too!

successiswithinme

Only on level one at the moment but---

I like the ending of the circuits the best.....I actually like the lunges with anterior lifts because it hurts so good so I know its working. I also like the squats fro the same reason.

Least favorites are the cardio especially butt kicks, it hurts my knees and lets me know how out of shape Im in because cardio is harder for me than strength.........
