    I like Level 3 better than level 2 but I hate that rock and roll move she has in the first circuit of strength.

    I'm currently on day 4. I do like level 3 better than level 2. I agree about the rock and roll move. Those ski jumps at the end kill me for some reason!

    I confess: I jog during the "rock n roll" rollbacks. Yes, that's right, I cheat! Maybe in my next 30 day rotation I'll be able to hack it but I have never once been able to get up properly from a rollback in my life!

    Level 3 Day 1 done! Phew! This one feels like way more cardio than 1 or 2. Nice to not be in plank the whole time but phew! Let's see, what kills me on this one? The duck walks, jumping lunges, rock and roll move, ab hold, and twisting plank. I could actually feel it in my inner thighs during the workout, hoping that results in a gap! :)

    Wow is all that I can say. I started Level 3 yesterday and I find it extremely difficult compared to 1 & 2. I consider myself to be in decent shape, but there were a couple of moves that I could hardly do even the modified version of. I might stay in this level longer than the 6 days I planned just to try to really get it down. Not sure if this level focuses on some of my areas I didn't realize were this weak, or if it is just this HARD!

    Yesterday was day 5 of L3 for me, and I finally felt like I was making progress. *Some* of the exercises felt easier(?), or maybe at least doable. Today will be my last day in L3 and tomorrow onto L4 -- I'm afraid!

    I completely agree! I'm not a super athlete but I have done a lot of JM workouts for the past several years and this was (by far) the hardest one (at least for me). I have bad knees so a lot of the moves (ok, most of the moves) I had to use the modifier! I probably will do it longer than 6 days, too. I couldn't do the rock n roll move so I just did squats - also I did tricep dips/push-ups using the edge of my step rather than in the table top position she was in. I don't mind "cheating" in hopes that I'll eventually be able to do the real moves (at least the beginner version). Good luck!!!

    OMG. Week 3 is tough...a MASSIVE step up from weeks 1 and 2. Day 1 was torture, I scraped through it, convinced there was no way I could do another 6 days of it. Day 2 was slightly better but massively modified. I just can not do the rock n rolls in one continuous motion, I struggle to get back up to my feet :/

    yeah , level 3, is freaking pain!!! lol , I had to go back and do another day or two of level 2. I felt like I wasnt giving 100 % ... I think I may be siking myself out on it though. Everytime I hit play on the DVD player , I cringe about level 3 , but level 2 has become ...well .. almost easy now . I know I need to AMP it up , and GET some , ...

    I WILL DO THIS, I can do this ..
    I hope I can do this ...
