Today was day 5 for me. I have a lot more endurance than day 1. The hardest part for me is the jumping jacks / jumping rope senquence. I still haven't done that part for the solid two minutes.

I'm also having a hard time w/ the arm lifts during the side lunges. I'm using 3 pound weights.

I was able to do my first push up (without knees) yesterday! I could only do two, though, but still - an accomplishment for me!

When I did the shred, I found level 2 to be the hardest...level 3 was challenging, but level 2 really kicked my tail for the first few workouts...

I am on day 8 of level 1. I use 5 pound weights, but When I do the side lunges with arm lifts I only use one and hold it with both hands. This way I can almost get through them!

Question is, do I move on to level 2 before I can really do the push ups?

Hiya, Im on lvl 1 day 5 atm... definitely feel it working already! struggling with the push ups but managed to do 15 beginner ones!! I couldnt even do one to start with so its getting better!

Not so much looking forward to lvl 2 as I hear many people HATE that lvl!.. We`ll see!

Will post pics when im done!

Day 3 of Level 2 and my *kitten* is getting well and truly kicked (but it's higher and harder!). The oblique planks at the end are a real KILLER :noway:

I am burning around 50 calories more (215 las night) on this level which shows how much harder it pushes you. Oh, and I noticed my biceps are developing for the first time last night too - and my girls tell me my tummy no longer sticks out more than my boobs so something must be happening :laugh:

I did level 1 day 7 today - the cardio still kills me, I hate ab work (always have, probably because I have never seen my abs, there has always been fat on them even when I was thinner). I am getting stronger though and almost look forward to doing this each day. I am very scared to move on to the next levels - afraid of failure!

Everyone's doing fab, just to struggle through it is something for now for me anyways, I mite do it this time struggling through then do it again starting from the beginning and try& fully master it.

Keep it up everyone x

This is exactly my plan. I am going to do through it 10 days at each level (with an odd day break here and there if I need it) and do whatever I can whether it be the harder or easier version. then start again froms cratch but do the whole thing on the kick *kitten* and not allow myself any of the easier versions.

I must admit I am already managing most of the harder versions in Level Two with the exception of the knee highs (I have arthritis in both knees and one hip so this in one is TOUGH for me!) and the walk out push ups which I can't get right down on, but apart from that I am with Natalie all the way..... I just wish I had those beautiful long legs not my pathetic 27 inch inside leg jobbies......... she is soooo graceful I am screaming on some of the upper body moves though :sad: :sad: :sad:

I'm on level 1 day 4 and I definitely burn a sweat!! I find the cardio quite easy but i've never done strength work before so I find that the hardest part. I can JUST manage to do the push ups without stopping. I'm trying to constantly challenge myself: once I hit day 5 i'm going to make sure I do all my moves the harder ways e.g. full on pushups not female ones. Also adding my weights and stuff! Good luck everyone!
