I have such a hard time with the lunges "Static Lunges?" in circuit two. Not only do my muscles burn, but I keep losing my balance.

I think I like the Arm Flies the best. Especially because you get to lay down while you do them. ;)

    I have ear trouble so I totally know how you feel about the balance thing. I normally do the Shred wearing just socks so I find my foot slipping away sometimes, gonna try it in sports shoes and see if it gives me better grip.

    For me, push-ups or crunches are the most challenging. I agree that the arm flies at the end give me a bit of a breather and I can feel my heart rate slow down. I imagine by the time we're all on Level 3 we will be begging for butt-kicks!

    I should add that I do wear clothes too when doing the Shred, not just socks :laugh:

    Push-ups are the hardest thing for me but I can already tell it's getting a bit easier. I also really dislike the jumping jacks but I have huge boobs and it's really painful. So whenever she's all "there is no modified version of a jumping jack" I'm all "easy for you to say, mosquito bite". So I've been either jogging in place or doing more jumpropes.

    I can't do real push ups (but I'm so close! The knee version is getting really easy) and I have a really hard time with static lunges too. I keep stumbling off to the side, haha.

    If I have to do more shoulder raises and side lunges, I will hurt someone. OUCH.

    Cardio has been really easy for me, but I hate hate hate jumpropes. I have the boob problem with those. errg.

    I hate those stupid static lunges, they kill my knees and legs!! I LOOOOOVE the side lunges!! It feels soo good to stretch those thigh muscles, I'm a weirdo. Oh and I love at the beginning doing those windmills, my back goes crack crack crack crack the entire way through and it feels awesome LOL

    Hardest, squat and press up. But it might be because my weights are 3 kilos each. And I still find jumping jacks hard. And I can't do real push ups either!
