    Try holding the plank for 1 minute and you'll see why it is working! It doesn't only strengthen abs, but your whole core. But, then you must have correct form. Your spine should be straight and your arms not stretched forward, but straight down under your shoulders. As you get stronger, you will be able to hold it for longer, but you should feel it in your abs!!

    Just completed day 5 of Level 2 :) I'm so excited to move onto Level 3 on Monday! Still had a hard time with those crow push ups but at least I could do more today than I could on day one :) Progress!

    I gave up on attempting crow pushups and just do regular push ups. I"m ready to move to Level 3 as well. At least I think I am ready!

    Today was day 1. I've been doing TurboFire the last year, although I slacked the last few months because the DVDs stopped playing (non-EU format). Anyway, was pleasantly surprised that RI30 gave me a good sweat, I was wondering since TFire is pretty intense and I also hike and bike a lot.

    So, I'm looking forward to the coming weeks.

    I started week 3 post week 1. Quite challenging. M on day 3...I need 3-4 breaks in between. Can anyone do it with one or without break?

    I'm finished Day 1 Level 2, and the crow pushups are brutal. I can't even come close to doing them correctly, or to doing more than one or two before I lose my balance. So far I'm liking RI30 much more than 30DS, mostly because of the switch to only 30 seconds per exercise, and also because of the increased variety!

    Does anyone have a hard time keeping your knees an inch from the floor when doing bear crawls (week 3)? I feel like I'm never as close to the floor (thus not making it hard enough) like Jillian recommends because I keep losing my balance lol.

    I haven't had time to work out for the last two weeks. :frown: Between the week leading up to get ready for teaching VBS at my church last week and then teaching VBS AND still working most days last week, I just couldn't find the time or energy. (Especially the energy last week!) Yesterday I did my workout for the first time in two weeks. However, MY RI30 DVD wouldn't work yesterday so I went back to 30DS. Way to easy! (Even though I am feeling it today!) So glad my RI30 DVD worked today! Now I am feeling it even more!

    I went to start back into RI30 today. Since it's been almost a month since I really did it, I went back to the beginning. However, I ran into the same issue I had when I last tried to do it. My DVD keeps freezing. I know it's not my player on my computer as other DVDs/CDs work just fine on it. I'm starting to think something is wrong with the DVD itself.
