I'm on Level 2, Day 2. The hardest part for me is the "ab hold" in the second set (I think it's the second set of weight intervals) - where you're sitting down with legs out straight and pushing up with your hands and then going into a table top position. It kills my wrists - I can't get much air between the floor and my butt. Oh well - it's a tough one but I'm going to get through it!

The ab hold was hard on my wrists too, so I use larger hand weights on either side to hold -- they also allow me to lift a little higher to get my butt off the ground. There's an ab hold in level 3 too .

I can't lift my butt up!

Is anyone else struggling with their knees on level two? I did it once, a couple of weeks ago and my knees crunched all day. I'm a runner and suffered massive knee drama two years ago, so I didn't do it again. I tried again last night. On one hand, I was WAY stronger this time. On the other, my knees were dying by the high knees that I had to stop because the impact was too much. I also had to modify to plank jacks for the cardio set where you pull your legs in from plank in the cardio spot. If there is one thing I learned from being incapacitated from running for about a year, it's listen to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.

I'm on day 3 of level 2. It is killing me. I'm not burning as much calories as week 1. I'm having some serious problems with the plank cardio. I just can't stay in plank. My arms shake so bad & I have to drop down. I want to kill it but I'm having a hard time! I alsmost feel like I should go back to week one just so I can work on the plank & get the cardio from week 1. I'm loving the DVD though. Jillian makes me laugh! I really like what she has to say though. Especially when she yells "GET SOME" It's funny.
