I think most people generally do 10 days each, but I believe in the beginning of level one she just says move on when you are ready. Thank you Ruby Red!! Now is it okay to skip a few days or does that beat the purpose ? Your Welcome :-) I think it works best to do the workout daily, and thats the way Jillian Michaels designed it to be. But I guess it would depend on your goals and what you are trying to accomplish. I think doing it daily helps to build strength and endurance. It also helps to have a routine. I do my best to make sure it gets done everyday. I think I missed one day. My goal is to continue after the 30 days but alternate between the levels or do 2 levels at one time. Hope that helps! Good Luck! Super!!! thanks again!!! Means I have to work at it extra hard.

I have a question though about the very last abs exercise in level 2, twist planks I think they're called. Am I the only one who doesn't feel it in my abs? I'm holding them as best I can and think I'm doing it right but still I feel nothing. The final ab session is more than just holding in your stomach. Watch it on the dvd a few times (especially Natalie) and you will see that it is a fairly deep twist keeping your back straight. To get it right in my head after watching it 3 times I imagined doing it as if I was on my back and then I finally got the concept right. Believe me you will feel it :)

Day 11 for me today, so first day of level 2. O M G! There will be pain tomorrow and maybe some tears ;). Crikey that was hard, but I'm determined to keep going. Also did a 2km jog in the hope it will loosen out my muscles a bit. Fingers crossed.
