    I HATE THOSE PLANKS!
    I have zero upper body strength, so every 2-3 seconds I had to go on my knees. Pretty much ruining any exercise I'm trying to do at the time.
    D:

    On another note.. My back was feeling better.. then I did L2D2!:laugh:

    Okay ... L2D5 DONE!! Of course I did no other major exercise today. LOL! I'm in another challenge on here and it's requiring 5 sets of 5 push-ups per day for like 4 days this week. OMG ... I'm so NOT liking push-ups OR them darn PLANKS! LOL!

    Done with L2D6
    Then hit the pool for an hour with my kids....


    HELP: I will be camping next week from Wednesday to Sunday. I plan on shredding Wednesday morning and Sunday when I get home, but might not be able to get it done Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Of course my days will be filled with hiking, swimming and running, but I will miss the shred. Should I write it down and take it with me?

    While doing those walk-out push-ups I did something to my back = no fun. So now I'm back and L2D3 is finished. I might have to spend an extra day or so at this level because it's not getting any easier. I think the seated "V" raise things might be the death of me.

    Way to keep pushing everyone! Moffee1, welcome to level 2! Hope everyone has a great weekend, have fun camping mamato4kids!

    smallest part of waist was 37 now 36 = 1 inch lost
    Hips were 51.5 and now 50 = 1.5 lost
    thighs were 32.5 and now are 31.5 = 1 inch lost
    Calfs were 19.5 and now are 19 = .5 lost

    The only thing I have a real hard time doing are those pendulum lunges.. I can't do lunges for the life of me anyway and those just make it 100% worse!
    I think I end up halfassing the halfass.
    Planks are getting a little easier. I can do them a little longer now.

    L2D4 done!

    L2D4 finished -- that means tomorrow is the half-way point for me!

    Hope everyone had a good weekend.

    Apry1546, how's your back feeling? Afitchpatrick how was level 2 for you?

    Ran 5.5 miles today. My ankles are killing me from the 30DS. I took today off. Might move up to L3 to help with the ankle issue.

    I'm waiting for my children's movie to end, then I will get L3 D1 done.....hopefully I can make it through. We'll see if I have to drop back down.

    Hope everyone is sticking with it! I can't wait to see the results!!

    I'm glad to hear level 3 is do-able!

    My ankle is feeling better this morning. some ibuprofin, some ice, and wrapping it all night helped a lot. It's not 100% better.. We will just have to see how this workout goes tonight

    L2 D2 complete. I definitely "brought it" today, whereas the first day of level two I kinda held back so I could get through it all and see what Jillian had in store for me. I feel tired muscles today but in a good way.

    I can't do a real push up in the first exercise, but I can bend my arms 1-2 inches and then back up. I am not sure if that is better or if i should plank then quickly go to knees for push up and then get off knees and back up. What are other people that can't do a real push up doing?

    Am liking level two a lot! Happy shredding everyone!
