    I agree with the side lunges/shoulder raises. What size wights do you use? I use 5 lbs for most of the workouts, but I generally switch to 3 lbs for these, especially the second set.

    I used eight pound weights today but I found they were far too heavy.I will be switching to 3 pound weights for tomorrow. They were using small weights in the video.

    The last strength bit - the chest flies are fine, but the arm raises are just vile! And the push ups...oh God the push ups...

    I hate Jillian, but I also love her for making me do these things!:wink:

    *this* I so agree with this.

    Level 2 was the hardest but also my favorite when I did 30DS.

    I agree - the push ups are killer but the hardest thing for me is actually sticking with it 30 days in a row...I am SO SORE the next day that I can't possibly imagine doing it again. I can't imagine doing the whole thing consecutively for 30 days.

    I can't even do a modified push up!!!! Horrible. And the side lunges are kind of awkward... plus holding both weights on that one is really hard so I usually only hold one weight with both hands for that exercise.

    I'm not replying to these 30DS messages anymore. I'm afraid they'll revoke my man card.

    Completed 30 DS. Stick with it. It does get easier after about a week. I am now onto Ripped in 30. Glad I did the shred first.

    personally the strength was the easy part, I could do that all day. the cardio killed me and my shins everytime. My calves get sooooo sore from jumping like that.

    ^^^ this! ^^^
    The strength part got easier for me as I progressed, but the cardio is painful! Guess I need to build up more stamina... Anyone do other DVDs of Jillian's that you like?
    I have her new kickboxing DVD - love it! I also use her buns and thighs and 6wk 6 pk yo mix things up! Love her workouts!!!
