Death Becomes Me

[ 0 ] 04/16/2009 | Lissa

OMG. I just finished my first day in Level 2 of the 30 Day Shred. I am literally dripping with sweat.

First off, I want to ask those of you who are shredding… the last two days I have been having lower back pain and on the left side it goes down into my ass. Not my “soreness” from working my muscles. It feels like I have a pinched nerve or something. It sucks. And I am having issues with my right knee. Is anyone else experiencing these things??

Okay, about Level 2.

*Jillian, careful… your girls are about to fly out of your bra.

*It was awesome to have a change. 10 days of the same thing every day is boring. I don’t do well with boredom.

*I am not sure I was able to complete ANY exercise with doing ALL of the reps.

*I like this better than Level 1… so far.

*Holy plank moves. Killers.

*I hate lunges. Seriously. Hate. Them.

*I like the twisty jumps and skaters. They may be my favorite so far.

*The ab move holding the weights where you lift your legs can kiss my ass.

*The military press while kicking your legs out? Yeah, I do not have enough balance for that.

What does everyone else think? Have you moved on to Level 2 or are you going to hang around Level 1 a few more days?
