So, how did everyone's day 2 go?

I did it this morning and it was a bit harder than Day 1, I guess because I was sore. I am feeling it in my arms (those damn push ups) and legs (squats=hell) more so than yesterday. I have to pick up some lighter weights, I only have 8lbs and I can't do the shoulder lifts with them. Do you guys use 5lbs or 3lbs?

Anyone else ready to kill Jillian yet? haha

    The worst part for me is the cardio on circuit 1! That's when I want to kill her lol. I feel like I can't breathe! But I found that day 2 was slightly easier because I knew what to expect. I'm using 3lb weights vs 5lb weights and I'm so glad I decided to go with the 3s lol.
    Hey, we're 2 days down, only 28 more to go!

    My day 2 was a little easier than day one with the cardio and keeping up, but my legs were so darn sore that the strength training was so painful!

    I haven't even added weights yet (waiting for ones i ordered on Amazon to arrive) and my arms are killing me.
    I'll be doing it later on this afternoon or night, and I'm not sure how I'll survive the major arm movement portions like jumping jacks or even that press and squat thing.
    Eh, who am I kidding..... my thighs are in pain as well.

    Running before is smart! I wanted to run today during lunch, but I dont think its going to happen now that Jillian has destroyed my quads ;-P

    Roughly 2.2 lb=1 kg.

    I'm using 2 lb weights at home until I can get heavier ones, and 5 lb weights at work. The shoulder raises are very difficult for me with the 5s but the 2s feel like nothing on all the other moves.

    Just did day 2. My arms hurt a lot, but I think I might need proper weights before long. Right now I'm lifting about 2 pounds each, but I guess I should go for more.

    What would you guys recommend?

    I use 3lb weights. I'm going to do 30ds when I lose more weight and then I'm going to use 5lb weights.
    It gets easier each day. I did day 2 of level 3 today and it kicks my butt. It's not as bad as level 1 and 2. Just keep pushing. Yall can do it!

    My favorite part is the boxing section, because I picture hitting Julian - LOL.:smile:

    Quads are sore and I could only do 2 girl pushups but I got to 4 today maybe by the end of the week it will be 8.

    Keep up the good work everyone!
