Level 2 – Yes, we have moved on.
What is Level 2 like? A bit more challenging then Level 1. I am very thankful for Insanity, although we didn’t complete the program, but we did make it to Month 2. I’m thankful because no move (well almost no move) so far seems too hard. I’m not saying it is easy, because it’s not, but the moves in Level 2 of 30 Day Shred are similar to ones we have done in Insanity, so it has prepared me for what’s to come.
I have terrible shoulder strength, so when we are doing one move that you have to raise your arms up in a V and just the normal should lifts, it’s hard for me to pull through. Perhaps if I was just doing one thing at a time, but Gillian gets you to do two moves in one. The strength move and usually some kind of squat or lunge or something else so you are not just working one area.
Level 2 is good, but I am sure we will be on it for a while! I didn’t notice as many as her sayings this time because I was concentrating on her moves, but she always tells us she wants to see us sweat!
If you are doing 30 Day Shred (as I know a few of you are) keep it up! If you want to get into exercising then check it out. Just remember with any exercise video to do it at a pace where you are comfortable and don’t over do it, especially when you first start out. You don’t have to do it just like the people on the video! But remember, you do need to challenge yourself or else there really isn’t any point in doing it and you won’t see results. I’m also working on eating healthier again. It’s a process!
Happy Exercising Everyone!

I must have missed this post before, but… don't worry, that upper body / shoulder strength will definitely improve over the next few months… 😉
