I can do 6 push-ups
That Jillian Michaels is a real bitch, but she knows what she’s doing.
Yeah, 6 push-ups isn’t much, but a few weeks ago, I could barely do one. So I’ll take it.
I did level 2 of the 30DS last night. Before volleyball. I thought I was going to die, but I didn’t, and then actually had a really good game, so it all worked out. I can really tell that the workouts are working for me, even though I still feel a bit puffy ’round the middle. I can hit harder and jump higher at games, and my reflexes are better.
Unfortunately, though, I think I’m getting shin splints in my right leg. Ick. It’s worse during the workout and right after, so I’ve been trying to ice it, but I don’t know what else to do. Guess I should start wearing shoes, huh? Boo, I much prefer working out barefooted.
But, DANG! Level two is a huge change from level one. I had read some reviews that said a lot of people found two easier than one, and let me just say that those people are insane. Or already have a lot of upper body strength. I can do the walking push-ups, but all those planks are killer. I better be buff as hell when I’m done with this – as long as level three doesn’t kill me first.
Or this week…

dude i really don’t like level 2 BECAUSE of all the damn plank moves. i have zeeerrro upper body strength so i feel like a big weenie. i have never even attempted level 3 – i believe it would send me into cardiac arrest. you are BAD.ASS. for 6 push-ups though!!
I curse each and every plank.
I hope you’re documenting photo proof of your body, even if you don’t share it with us, because even though it doesn’t FEEL like you’re changing, you are.
PS. Plank Jacks can shove it.
