Ok, thanks. Sounds interesting AND useful .B. Respect!
Colette - depends how fit you are, what other stuff you are used to doing etc. Try every other day unless you have serious issues. Do the easiest versions until you are confident - but it should hurt a BIT. Be challenging anyway.
I think it s a good idea to watch through a couple of times without actually doing it. Boring but worth it. You can always fast forward.

Colette - you may well find it easier this time then!
I'm quite slight myself and have problems with upper body work. Personally I feel it's better to do a modified version with good form than a ropey, no core, crap posture version of planky things. I'm an ex Pilates teacher and have seen some appalling versions of push ups! Blokes included.

I remember the first time I ever Shredded - after one of the kids was born and before I got into running. It's far easier this time around - though still horrible how weak and hopeless my arms are
I think I would appal you Sharkie! I'm trying to "stick my tush into the wall" (!) but am hopelessly uncoordinated and have shite balance. It's a lethal combination...

Success! No longer a level 3 virgin. And it was almost a joy to listen to a different script to level 2. Some of those moves were hard (superman, mountain climber, jumping lunges in particular) but I really liked the plank rows, travelling push ups, and when hand weights were incorporated into the boxing, starjumps etc.
I swear the soundtrack just gets worse and worse though

Jumping lunges are pure evil. I found superman really easy though - it's funny how different moves get different people isn't it?

I'm going to blame my incompetence at superman on my hard flooring/thin yoga mat

Must admit to struggling with some parts of L2 Shred, my shoulders are just pathetically weak. I am putting down some of last night's rubbishness to having done spinning at lunchtime so my legs were slightly mashed.
