What is your favourite and least favourite exercise on 30ds level 1 (not including warm up or cool down)?

I HATE jumping jacks. They kill me. I'm always gasping at the end of the first segment of them and them I have to do jump rope, more jumping jacks and more jump rope. Plus, I know I have another set to 'look forward' to at the end.

I think my favourite is the one where you lay down and drop the weights and bring them back up. I can get my breath back and fell how much stronger my arms are feeling.

    Yep, I love the chest fly too. I hate the forward lunges, hate them. i don't mind any of the cardio really, though it does kill me.

    I didn't know it was called chest fly. I'm puffing so hard by that point I can't really hear a word Jillian is saying!

    I love all the ab work - it's killer, but at least I can catch my breath while I'm doing it. The jump rope is probably my least favorite... I feel like my heart rate gets up high enough doing the strength work tyvm.

    ^Agreed, this is the only point in the workout when I actually yell at the screen, haha. My favorite part is all the ab work. Bicycles kill me but I love feeling the burn and knowing that those muscles actually are there - they're just hiding :)

    Another that despises the side lunge. I don't mind any of the cardio. My favorite is probably the second sets of crunches in the first circuit. Where you lift your legs up.

    I love the chest flys, but HATE the lateral lifts with the side lunge. And I really enjoy the ab work

    I don't like the first set of strength (pushups and squat presses). It just kills my arms and shoulders. I do really like the last long set of cardio, because my body is so loose and warmed up by that time, it just seems to me I could keep going forever, even though I am breathing hard when it does end.

    I agree about the last set of cardio! I feel so pumped by then that I dont want it to be over! I do however hate the arm raises with lateral lunges! I have bad shoulder and so that kills me. I start raising at eye level and by the last sets I can barely raise my arms to shoulder level LOL!!!

    I hate push-ups and I'm always glad to get that done first! I like the chest flys and the butt kicks for cardio.

    My favorite would have to be the punches. It's low impact with a little bit of agression. I love boxing.
    I dread the side lunges and are raises. The lunges aren't that bad but by now my arms are like puddy and I struggle with it.

    OMG, I hate doing the push up's and then the front leg lunges or whatever they're called. I feel so weak in my arms that push ups kick my butt - even the girly version. I only do about 10-15 and then I'm done. And those lunges, kills my knees but I try to keep doing the whole thing. My only problem with the jumping jacks and jump ropes is that I feel like I want to pee my pants, lol...

    I hate the first Cardio circuit Absolutely hate them. I am dying after the second group of jumping jacks. They don't bother me in the last circuit though. I love the strength training, I could do without the side lunge things but I don't hate it half as much as that first cardio circuit.

    I HATE HATE HATE the first cardio circuit all that jumping causes my quads and calves to fail. I like the ab work though.

    I DETEST the front lunges in the second strength set. It makes my legs feel like they are on FIRE. However, that said, I love the butt kicks that follow them because I feel like I get to stretch my legs out again. I also have a very hard time with the side lunges. Actually, here's some advice:

    For those of you struggling with the side lunges (like me), I found that if I slow them down slightly (and dont quite follow the ladies' pace), then I am able to last longer without giving up and needing an arm break. That has been how I am battling that issue.

    Love the ab work. Love most of the cardio (except jump rope because my calves are on fire).
