I just did my first day of workout 5. I really liked it!
But...I could BARELY DO the punches with the cables. :noway: Couldn't finish without stopping and now my arms are kinda shaky.
I'd say thats the toughest Jillian exercise I've come across.
What about you?

I'm only in the second week, so not enough time in yet to know. From previous Shred experience, I could never get the form right on the side lunge with a lateral something or other.0
-
Hmmmmm, which one to pick......
Plank rows. Yep those.
:grumble: :sick:0 -
Weighted Warrior III Pose. Worst. Thing. Ever.0
-
I agree with the Weighted Warrior III pose, and also I'm currently struggling with push-up jacks and those stupid supermans with lateral raises!!0
-
I just started week 7 and workout 7 kicked my butt especially the push ups0

Me neither. I don't do those side lunges -- they just don't feel right on my knees. I do front or back lunges instead.0 -

I tried my first superman with lateral raises today. Got the weights off the ground, but just a little and it was HARD. I haven't done this weighted warrior yet, but I have a feeling I know what it might be....:frown:0 -
Weighted warrior for sure (but I feel like a BEAST afterwards) and those darned Wheel push-ups!!!
Enjoy!0 -
Gotta be wheel push ups. Just can't budge my head of the ground.0
-
I can do the push up jacks now, but I'm still completely useless at those side crunch things! I only have one more attempt at workout 9 to go so I doubt I'll master those. Oh well!0
-
The side crunches are weird.
I wasn't doing them right at first -- I was kind of 'up' on my hip.
I noticed Jillian's gang of beautiful people doing them sort of back on their glutes.
Once I tried leaning back onto my behind rather than perching and balancing on my hip bone, I could do them. I like them now.0 -
Oooh, thanks for the tip! I'll take a closer look when I'm next doing that workout because I'm probably doing them wrong too!

I'm just popping back in here to report that I can now do the superman with weights in front! I could NOT get those weights off the ground when I started. :bigsmile:0
-
Agreed - I started workout 5 today as well and just could not do the cable exercises where you're punching it out all the way through!
I also had a hard time with the single leg squat with medium weight...I have to work on my balance more!0 -
I'm now stuck with those ridiculous wheel push-ups! For now, I'm just about holding the position rather than actually managing to do the whole 'pushing up and down' thing! I tried several times and just ended up collapsing in a heap. It seriously defies the laws of gravity!!0
-
I'm only on workouts 5/6 but I can't do anything in the stupid crab position.0
-
Plank rows I am trying to get 6 reps out. And some of the balancing ones I have to lower my leg a bit.0
-
wheel push ups by far!! I FREAKING HATE THOSE!!0
-
Reverse planks and then later on, reverse planks with leg raises. Hurts my knees.0
-
I used to hate plank ups. I am on my third round of BR now and they do not phase me. That tricep superset in workout five is killer though. Also Warrior Three with weights, I still cannot keep my arms straight. I also hate in Workout 11 or 12 I think is holding the chuttarunga (sp?) and wheel pushups.
I am not sure which one of those I hate worse.0
