    Me too! I loathe the raises. Maybe it's because I use 5lb weight in each hand. Haven't been able to buy 3 lb.

    Finished L2D1, all the planking moves are ROUGH! Everything felt like jelly today :|
    I know I'll steadily get stronger as I move through these 10 days, but those plank jacks and mountain climbers or whatever you call them are hard!

    I found the plank jacks do get easier. I never got where I could do them and mountain climbers all the way through. I sometimes substituted jogging instead of mountain climbers simply because my arms and shoulders were just too tired to hold me up.

    That's exactly what's happening to me, my arms/shoulders are just way too tired. I'm also finding when trying to do plank jacks, but I do mostly modified, is that my outer/inner thigh muscles are so weak too! I'm like, come on legs, work!

    Omg... soo glad its not just me having a rough time!! After the workout is done, I am sooo worn out! & yes I agree w/ everything in your post!!

    You are SO not alone! I finished L2D3 today, and when it's time to do the oblique twists followed by skating, I do feel like I'm gonna die! I'm still modifying the skating, because when I try to do the jump, and then the 30 sec again of twists, I totally can't breathe :D
    But I keep pushing through, I'm way too determined to ever give up!

    My knees are sore today. We'll see how I feel after work. I might have to take today as a rest day. :(

    L1D6 complete. Anterior raises getting a little easier, made it all the way through them today. I'm using 3lb plates from an adjustable dumbell set. Hoping to bump up to 5lb dumbells by day 10 ( even if I can't lift them, they'll at least be easier to hold!).

    I'm starting level one today, have lost a stone through diet already, 1st 3lb to go, I'm really unfit and a smoker so hoping I can get through this

    I'm an unfit smoker too but I have this game where I can't smoke in the afternoon until after my excercise. I call it my "victory cigarette" although I'm hoping I will stop wanting it before long, and I can cut down even more and eventually one day I'll be able to declare loudly in a smug voice "oh, no. I don't smoke" :)

    completed L02D03. Its seriously not an easy workout. I think the moves are getting completed better; only in the sense I have a better idea of how/what I'm doing... lol! Had to pause 2x to catch my breath; the cardio always kills me :/ Even on level 1. Even though I also run, its still really tough.

    Finished L2D3 today. Definitely "gargling my heart" on the oblique twists.

    I like to use a calendar to keep myself accountable, and to mark off the days. I filled out my paper calendar with the 30 days of the shred. It's sort of motivating. Every little bit helps, right? Just thought I'd post something that's helpful to me. :)

    L1D6 done. I did 4 days then took just over a week off, thought I'd be really sore after doing it again yesterday but I'm feeling ok :) might do L2 this evening again.

    I think once I've done the 30 days I'm going to just do the strength training bits from all 3 videos every other day.

    I love that you posted this!! After I complete this 30DS, I plan to try the Killer Buns & Thighs dvd. I don't want to stop pushing my body to continue to tone & transform. This summer I seriouslyyyyy plan to be wearing shorts!!
