    I'm in level 1 and hate the side lunges with anterior raises. They kill me each time.


    Yep me too. Am also getting really bored with doing the same stuff everyday can not wait to move on.

    level 1 - side lunge with a forward raise.

    level 2 - i started it last night, so..... the whole thing.

    I'm still on level one, and I just cant do the push ups for the life of me! I have torn ligaments in my left arm and therefore never put pressure on that arm/wrist, what can I do instead? I do try to do them but I suck and it hurts! :)

    I also find the side lunge while lifting the weights infront of me very very hard and tend to just use one weight and hold it on each side :P

    Try bending your arms so your entire hand/wrist/forearm is on the floor and hold a plank pose instead of actual push-ups.

    My most-hated moves:

    Chair squat with V raise
    Double jump ropes

    I completed Shred in September and decided to tackle it again. I'm currently regretting not continuing it at least once a week as I can definitely tell I restarted it this morning and will likely have sore thighs tomorrow.

    I've done 30DS before, and am currently going through it again- in level one I truly, truly hate the bicycle crunches, but today I did them all for the first time in ages, whoop! Not a fan of push ups either but at least I can do them now...

    lol I kinda felt that way about level 2 as well. I did get to where not everything was completely hated, though. :smile:

    I hate squat thrusts more than anything, anything else seems bearable in comparison though I'm not a huge fan of any of the resistance jump stuff in level 3! I actually like chair squats with a v raise, not sure why they've got such a bad rep in this thread haha. Used to hate pushups because I couldn't do one & had to do them on my knees but now I can do levels 1 & 2 back to back with full pushups throughout, big improvement! Now I need to actually keep going for 30 days.

    Level two -

    chair squats and V raises - my poor arms can only manage them with tins of beans as weights (I use 3.3lb weights for all other exercises) :noway:

    High knees - wow these get my heart pumping, I always have to pause towards the end of 2nd set :embarassed:

    I'm actually OK with all the exercises/moves, but I get so FREAKING sick of Jillian and hearing the same phrases from her over and over again, and the same super-light bass-pump music in the background. I don't even do the DVD that much (only when I miss boot camp) and I have to wear headphones and put Jilly on mute just to get through it!
    I totally want to turn her off... But, at least in level 2, with all the plank moves, there's a lot of the time where I'm not watching the screen, so I'm afraid I would miss the move changes if I turned the sound off! lol How do you work around that?

    hmmm...the hard way. I have to listen to her enough first that I know what's coming next :( but for the plank stuff, I position my body parallel to the TV and just check every once in awhile. If I'm a little late getting to another move I don't sweat it - as long as I keep going! :)

    and LOL to the poster who's got JM's phrases down pat. The "I get results" thing kills me. :)
