Hi all, haven't been on here a while but have still been doing it every day. Finding level 2 tough as expected!! Maybe in a few days I will enjoy it! Hang in there, it will be worth it!

    I started L2 today. Hate it! My notion that it wouldn't be that much harder, just different, was soooo wrong. That being said, I figure I can get through 9 more days so no giving up here :smile:

    My thoughts on L2D1:

    THIS B*TCH IS CRAZY!!

    After collapsing on the floor in a pool of my own sweat and tears I am seriously questioning this woman's sanity as well as my own. But then I remembered that I lost 2 pounds on level 1 so I guess I have no other choice but to plow through! Only 9 more days of this you say?! :laugh:

    I have been using 30DS 3-4 times per week and doing other (fun) stuff the other days. I did Level 2 for the first time yesterday and the second time today.

    Hoooooly wow, it is SO HARD!! I can barely do the plank-jacks for 5 seconds before I have to do them Anita-style, haha. And then it's like, oh, get up and do double jump ropes!! I kind of enjoyed the cardio in Level 1, but Level 2--nuh uh.

    On a happier note, when I started Level 1, I had to put my hand weights down at some point on basically every arm exercise. Now in Level 2, I didn't have to put them down until halfway through the last set of the last circuit! Progress!

    HAHA.. my thoughts exactly. Glad to see I'm not the only one struggling with level 2!

    I've even tacked up an old photo of in shape me in a bikini next to a current photo of my stomach... big time motivation lol.... especially since we have a trip to Mexico booked for January.

    Worst circuit for me in level two is definitely the plank jacks/double jumps.... holy god...

    So I got a bit off track this week with some really long work days. Did L2 D2(12) today and I must say, I still hate level 2 :-) Does it get any easier?????

    I did level L2D1 this morning and it was rough. My arms felt like they wanted to fall off. But I'm not giving up. I'm committed to doing Jillian M-F before I go to work no matter what! :explode: And that's early in the morning people. We're talking getting up at 4:30 am to get my workout in. But then I don't have to worry about all the excuses I can come up with to not to do it when I get home. :noway: Plus I work a second job so my time is very limited.

    Wow lilahk95 - that is definately VERY early - well done on the dedication!!! :)
    I completed L2 Day 5 this morning - it's still a TOUGH workout - im OK with the planks, but DESPISE the squart V lift ones at the end... OUCH!!! Felt proud of myself though for sticking with it, and i'm definately finding it easier :)

    L2D2 done!! Thanks jackie_moo, good work on your part as well! My arms are even more sore today. Wooh. I hate the squat v-lift move and the military press. And I'm way over the planking. Athough suprisingly I can do the plank jacks. 8 more days of level 2. I can do this!

    Hey guys,

    I have been a bad girl....started level 2 and was like 'hell no' then i took a loooong break. But I decided to get back in the groove because I MUST FIT INTO MY RED DRESS!....so I have never heard of death by 30DS and since I dont see myself as being the first to die....i am gonna go ahead and finish what i started....
