I tend to work through one level at a time, starting with Level 1 and (determined this time!) finishing with Level 3. In the past I have only made it to Day 8 of Level 2....and although I don't have experience with Level 3 yet, I can definitely say Level 2 is NOT my favorite! All that work in plank pose is a challenge! We'll see what's in store in Level 3...maybe I'll change my tune.

Finished Day 2 of Level 1 today, and felt really strong. I probably won't spend 10 days at this level, but will move on to those planks and spend more time there, gaining strength.

I like doing 5-6 days before moving to the next level.

I also use heavier weights when it starts to get easy.

I take rest days.

I ice my knees if they start to ache from all the jumping.

Same here.

I know some people did each level for a week in order and once they made it through level 3 they just rotated them every other day going forward. i think I am going to give that a try.

When I initially started in April, I did the L1 for about 5 days, L2 for 5 days and onto L3. I enjoyed L3 the most.

I hate that I'm starting over and it's literally kicking my butt! I definitely saw results after 2 weeks of doing the shred so that's why I'm going to finish it this time

Until today, I had only ever done Level 1 (I've never been able to commit to it for more than a week). I did Level 1 on Weds & Thurs this week. I felt like I was getting a good workout, but I like a challenge, so I moved to Level 2 today.

DANG! It was a LOT harder for me! I did have to take a couple of 5 second breathers. I've been having problems with my shins/ankles hurting during the jumping, but the only thing that I really felt killed me was the plank jacks. I actually think I overextended my left knee doing them. Hopefully, ice will help, I really want to keep going and make it through 30DS!
