So I got bored with L1 and decided to move on, quite surprised how a lot of it actually feels relatively easy............ but there is a downside.

#1: I think I strained my back last week, so it hurts my upper back to jump! Had to alter some moves and cardio.
#2: L2 puts more strain on your wrists, I have an issue with my right wrist and even my support isn't helping.
#3: Balance required, of which it appears I am lacking as I spent a lot of it trying not to fall over!

All in all a little disappointed that my body just can't do what Gillian wants, but I know better than to push myself so far as to hurt myself!

    good girl for stepping up though. do you think you'll continue and try again tomorrow or do you think you may head back to lv 1 for a couple more days??

    Yikes!!! My childhood nickname wasn't Grace for nothing!!! I'm very clumsy and no core strength doesn't help matters. I may never graduate from L1!!


    So, will you continue? Or go back?

    Oh no this sounds awful for me! I have weak wrists and zero balance. I have to be very careful about that last leg stretch in lvl one. The one where you pull your foot into your butt...I fall 70% of the time haha.

    I hope you continue though, it can only get easier!

    I'm going to give it a go in a bit, modifying some moves and let you know how it goes!! Not too sore at all today, but back and wrist not good!!

    OMG i have just done day 1 of lv2 and its definitely stepping things up. i feel much more worked than i have been the last couple of days on lv 1, but on the other hand i dont because i had to stop so many times especially on plaks. i will just have to keep telling myself tomorrow.... will be easier

    I got bored as well and tried LVL2 today. My right wrist is killing me! I'm going to try a brace and hopefully it will help. It was tougher!

    #1 I had the same problem with level 1. Put me out for 3 days. Funny thing is for me, level one was a not as challenging as I thought it would be, so I was quite surprised I managed to injure myself.
    #2 I started level 2 today instead of going back to level 1. My plan is to get used to level 2 and then go back and do 10 days of level 1 followed by level 2 for a 40 minute workout. Then I will try level 3. I will also agree that wrists and shoulders is where level 2 hits you. All these plank exercises. I had a hard time just holding myself up for 30 seconds and then trying to make myself lift a leg or 2, not easy!

    Anyways! Keep going at it, no pain no gain right? That's what I keep telling myself everyday. I feel like I get a good workout with her dvds so I am going to keep on going.
