    I did my 1st day of level 2 today. All of the shoulder raises were intense. But I kind of like level 2 due to the lack of pushups lol.

    First day of Level 2 for me... (still doing level 1 with my hubby til he catches up at night) OMG this woman is psycho! I was literally drenched! Used my 3 lb weights although I usually use 5-8 with level 1 just so I wouldn't kill myself, but the cardio in the whole thing did me in! Plus I was a little uncoordinated in some of the lunges, hopefully I figure those out better!

    Has everyone moved up to level 2 ?

    Im really still struggling through Level 1. Im seeing progress - and Im SO HAPPY with that. But I still have to do the knee-pushups... the jumping jacks I tend to Jog through them because they give me HORRIBLE (like in tears) shin splints... and I cant quite get through all the bicycle crunches.

    Should I still move up to level 2 ? Or do i need to stay here until level 1 is more comfortable?

    i AM doing workouts everyday, and am so proud of myself for that. Im staying motivated, Im eating healthy ...

    How do you know you are ready to move up a level?

    I don't really know the "right" answer to your question but I do a combo of both beginner and advanced moves and don't feel I have to conquer the advanced ever, if I don't feel the right about them. I still do knee push ups on Level 1 but do regular push up on Level 2 walk out push up. Sometimes if my knee is bothering me on any of the lunges I go with Anita. At this point in my life who cares, as long as I'm moving and keeping my heart rate up. I'd rather keep doing at a pace that I can handle than be discouraged and stop.

    Now, for my progress...I did 30DS for 15 days straight but have missed the last two days. I'm on the road and moving every day and it's been hard. Tomorrow I settle into the same place for a week so I'm going to try to make sure I'm doing it every day. Good thing about the traveling I'm walking a ton.

    L1D8 done. i took six days off as i did a huge bikeride on sunday and needed rest up before it, and then needed a few days of rest afterwards.

    today was good. i still hate the side arm lunges but got through the rest pretty well. will move to L2 on sunday or monday.

    i looked at L2 and L3 and some things look punishing but overall they look okay. anyone on L2 got any advice?

    L2D2... Other than POURING sweat at the end of level 2, I fine it easier on some of the strength training and the cardio is better... I hate pushups with a passion and always did the girlie ones, but that's ok! I plan on moving on to level 3 in 8 more days. I will probably start all over again when I'm done and try to keep up with Natalie more, but I am modifying as I need to...

    Did Level 2 Day 3 today..... I think the hardest part of Level 2 is the 3rd set of strength training where you do the shoulder raises where you bring the weights up to in front of your eyes. HORRIBLE. Other than that, I think Level 2 is easier than Level 1. Less pushups is always good for me. I am going to make it to the end of this thing.... But I am getting discouraged because I am not losing any weight. And its irritating me to stay in calories and lose no weight. I also very rarely eat any exercise calories. So I feel like I should see SOMETHING happening. Trying to convince myself that at least I am being physically active and I'll be a healthier person.

    I did this video myself and was disappointed to find that you only burn about 127 calories on level 1 and only up to136 on level 3- that is per Jillianmichaels.com/shred website. I switched to circuit training on that site but I also where a heart monitor to determine MY calories burned.
