    Day 4 done today! I had some bad food yesterday so my stomach was super upset today 😷. I had to pause the video a few times because I was feeling so blah. Made it through though. I didn't want to miss a day. @Steph_135 really nice! I miss the gym a bit for the weight racks. My husband plans to be back at the gym soon, they are opening on the 18th here. I think I'm going to stay away for awhile though!

    @BayleyBear512 what size weights you using? Think i need a lighter weight for lateral lifts in the side squats and for fly lifts on the chair squats.

    I'm using 3lbs weights. I have 5lbs which I use sometimes on some of the lighter moves but mostly stick with 3lbs

    Nice!! I'm also resting today. Day 7 tomorrow and then planning to move to lvl 2 for Day 8. Getting excited but also terrified to see how much harder it is. It's been a few years since I've done the DVD so I don't remember to well πŸ˜…

    8lbs does sounds rough! That's awesome that you've been able to use that heavy on a lot of moves. I feel you on those back raises, they are no joke. Definitely one of the harder strength moves in my opinion.

    Okay, level two is HARD! She seriously steps it up. There are several moves I felt I couldn't do "right" at all. Definitely have my work cut out for me to master this level 😳.

    - had to have both feet down on the chest press in the first strength circuit. I couldn't lift off the ground hardly at all!

    - the first cardio circuit is all plank. WTH! I had to take a few breaks and was also really slow on the movement.

    - couldn't lift butt off the ground during the table transitions in second strength circuit. I definitely remember these from my last run-through on the DVD. I'm convinced my butt might just be too big πŸ˜†.

    - Crow push-ups.....pure evil! Definitely will be on the beginner version of those for awhile.

    Day 9, done! Slight improvement over yesterday but it still feels horribly difficult. It also makes my wrists hurt really bad because of all the plank moves 😩.

    Day 10 done. I still hate level 2 but I am making improvements! Wish I could improve the wrist pain other than just powering through it. I really hope level 3 has less plank moves!

    Day 12 done! The last few days I've been getting the workout done in the morning. It's really helping me stay focused. I love not having to think about it the rest of the day 😁
