Level 2 of Jillian Michael's "30 Day Shred" kicked my ass so hard. If you want to know how it was, let me just say I screamed "I hate you" at the screen a whole lot. It sounds funny, but I'm so serious, and I didn't realize I was doing it for a while. Ha.
It was so hard on my arms. One circuit of everything (abs, strength, cardio) was done in "planks pose" which is push-up pose. Yeah, that's right. Cardio = jacks, abs = twist with one left, strength = walking pushups. Wow.
I admit, I had to stop a few times. Even on the "modified/easy versions"... Mostly during the plank exercises. The other things I fought through. I sweat and my arms are really tired. But you know what, I'm proud of myself. These exercises will get easier as time goes. And it made me really happy to see that Jillian's team was struggling too. They were laughing and panting through the pain with me. They were more talkative than Level 1, and I needed the distractions.
It's lunch time now. See you tomorrow for Day 12/Day 2 of Level 2 on My Weightloss Struggle!
