Keep going! I know it hurts, I know all you want to do is skip it for the day, but dont. It will be worth it. I used 5 pound weights but like you I considered switching to 3 pounds but I felt glad that I never did when I finished. I did try it with a friends 3 pound weights though one day and it is way easier compared to the 5 pounds. On to the push ups, I started doing the girly ones just like you are but by the end I had switched to regular push ups, I dont remember exactly when I made the switch though, sorry. And thirdly, it definetaly gets easier! Keep going, I think the first week is the worst, then the first 2 or 3 days after you switch to the next level is also killer, but the end result is worth it. I wish I had pictures or something to show you results but sadly after the nice weight loss my body decided it was time to get pregnant, so I dont even have the results to share. But let me tell you, I am starting the video again as soon as I am cleared to excersize after the baby. So worth it! You can do it!!! Keep going!

Good for you! I just ordered this video too! Ugh! I sure need something to kick me in the rear and get my act together. Just saw some pictures of me and I look pregnant...and I am not! Thanks for the inspiration. Now that you are a few more days in, how is it going!? Wow! Good for you! I just ordered this video too! Ugh!

Well, I attempted day 1, made it 8 minutes into the 20 minute workout, and couldn't decide if I wanted to cry or just altogether die. To my credit, though, I was only 8 weeks post-partum at the time, so I will give it another go after a few weeks of toning exercies and cardio work. So, I have not yet shredded.

My shoulders are killing me. (I use 3 lb weights.) I'm on day 17 but I waited until day 15 to move up because I was struggling with level 1 for so long. (It may be a 60 day shred for me LOL) Good luck! I just moved up to Level 2 and it is kicking my butt hard. My shoulders are killing me. (I use 3 lb weights.)

I use 3 pound weights because I am seriously out of shape after having my 4th baby! :) When I first looked at doing it, I was like, "Oh that looks easy. That can't be too hard." HA! Wow is it a workout or what?! But I feel so good afterward. I have to say that after day 4 it did get easier for me. I didn't feel nearly as sore as the first few days.Keep up the good work! It will be worth it! :) I love this workout! I use 3 pound weights because I am seriously out of shape after having my 4th baby! :) When I first looked at doing it, I was like, “Oh that looks easy.

I use 3 lbs. It's plenty. :-) 2. Girl style. I tried the other and I can't even do one. Sigh... 3. I am not sure what day I'm on anymore. I set out to do it 5X a week and got to Level 2. Then I pulled an ab muscle doing the walk-out pushups. Made it so the whole video was kind of pointless b/c you use that muscle for so many of her moves. So I went out and did a brisk run/walk for 25 min a few times before I went on vacation. Since I've been back, I've done Level 1 twice. This morning I'm walking with the neighbors instead.I would like to get back to Level 2 again and doing it 5x a week. I feel GREAT after I do it.It has NOT helped me lose weight, but then my body seems to be "stuck" right now. I guess it can't hurt, right?Good luck to you! 1. I use 3 lbs. It’s plenty. :-)

Good luck to you!
