Mine is when you lie on the floor and your arms go out to the side with weights.

This is when I can get my breath back!!! And Can do!

What's yours?

  • Level 1-the bit where you squat with punches. Its not completely painless, but its easy and I look forward to it when im sstruggling with the others.
    Level 2- the ice katery thing, although I think my arms are doing the wrong thing its nice and easy.

    I also like this for the same exact reason! I'm still on level 1 and my favorite cardio is jump rope and I like the reverse crunches.

    Burpees are one of my favorites, along with pushups. I like to challenge my body above and beyond what I think I can do. The burpees really get my heart rate up and if I do the advanced (jumping as I do them), that even better.

    I guess Im a gluten for punishment!

    This. And for the exact same reason! I'm usually huffing and puffing by this point and I can trick my body into thinking that I'm resting while I'm working my arms.

    I like the crunches where you have your foot on your knee. For some reason those are way easier for me than a regular crunch or those god awful bicycle crunches.

    i like the abs section, don't like the oblique twists or skating, feels like i'm gonna fall over :blushing:

    Starting level 3 tonight.....
  • HAHAHA IDK what my "favorite" is (I DO like the chest flies - the ones you're talking about in lvl 1 where you lay down), but I KNOW my least favorite so far is the anterior raises with a side lunge (circuit 3 in Level 1 - where you stand with your feet apart and lunge to each side while raising your arms straight in front of you each time). Those KILL me! Nothing major like/hate in Level 2, and I actually haven't done level 3 yet

    FYI : These are called chest flies....

    I really enjoy all her situps positions in all three levels....I love the fact they are all different and work out lower and upper abs....

    I love doing the walking out push-ups!
  • lol I guess I"m strange too, b/c I like the bicycle crunches :) But I like knowing I'm killing my gut :P

    I LOVE the very first strength move in Level 2 - the walk out push-up thing. Makes me feel really strong!

    I also love the leg-scissor move in level 3 -not because I enjoy it or because I find it easy but it REALLY works out those muscles and when I can complete it doing it Natalie's way it makes me feel fantastic!

    And one last thing...I love the lunges with bicep curls. I didn't when I first started but now that Ive been using 30DS for nearly 2 months I find them easy and I like that feeling alot!!

    This DVD is the business! :)

    Oh, yes. I can always use a good chest fly in my life. :bigsmile: Also hate the anterior raises, I have to do them much slower cause I refuse to use my smallest (yes, pink) weights. :devil:

    The anterior raises with the side lunge is the WORST! In level 2, its the squats with the v raise that I hate.

    It's been 2 years since I first did 30DS and have moved on to do many of her other workouts. I've increased the weight of my dumbbells in almost every move EXCEPT for this one! I still hate the anterior raise/side lunge! And she has it in another workout too - Killer Buns & Thighs, I think. You have been warned. :tongue:
