    L1D7 done. Still struggling w/ push-ups and anterior raises, although I'm getting more push-ups in. My endurance is much better than when I started.

    L2D4 completed last night. Had a really crummy day so I was extra irritated with Jillian, but at least it's done.

    Has anyone else had soreness right above their knees? I've had knee pain before due to running, but that was more in the patella/lower knee area. This is right at the top of the knee cap, very localized. I had it during L1 as well. Not sure what it's from....

    L1D9 done :) Didn't manage to do any over the weekend, am a bit disappointed in myself for being on day 9 twenty days in! But I am very determined now. We were staying with family last week for a wedding and my Father-in-law mentioned how fat I am :neutral:
    Probably wont see him again until August, so I am determined to be two stone lighter!

    L2D1 done. Yeah those chair squat V raises are a *kitten*. Right after I finally got used to the anterior raises. But I think this level will be doable, though I will do rest days this time

    I've had trouble in my knees before too. maybe the squats are doing it? that high impact stiff really kills me though. I make sure to alternate how intense I am doing the exercises because of that. good luck!

    I begrudgingly took this weekend as rest days... My fiancé says I need rest days; smh.
    It was lovely though; I'll NEVER tell him that... lol!

    Today I completed L02D08. It was tough. After my days off it was the LAST thing I felt like pushing through. But hooray I did it!

    Wednesday will be my LAST day on Level 2 :) I'm excited to be done w/ this whole thing.. lol!

    Does the DVD mention rest days, and if so, how many? (I only watch it via YouTube.) Does she say to go 30 days straight or to do it a certain number of times per week?

    The video itself doesn't offer any guidance on rest days and diet. I did level one with no rest days, and I don't think that did me any favors. This time i'm going to two rest days right in the middle, and see if that helps me get through some of the tougher moves

    OMG...I know. I guess just jump higher whilst whipping your arms around like a fish flopping around on dry land? I can barely handle the regular jumping, so no thank you Jillian!!

    Seriously the only differnce is spinning the arms faster. I just did the regular jump "rope". In her Jillians Michaels for Beginners workout, she has her guy doing jump rope with 8 lb weights in each hand

    I feel the same way doing those ridiculous double jumps! I feel like I'm just flapping my arms around and I almost fall over every time!

    Was doing cross fit a while back. They make you do double jumps=two times the cord passes under before you hit the ground between jumps. Freaking nearly impossible lol. They gave up on me and said do speed rope for now
