Count me in! I just finished L1D1 too! Now, I wonder if I'll be able to move tomorrow0

Hello! I'm in. I just purchased my DVD today. I had to drop the car off to get my brakes done (and walk the 1.3mi back and forth in the 92* heat! Ick!) this afternoon, so I didn't have time to preview it. I planned today off anyway, so I will start tomorrow. I've never done a DVD workout before. I live on the 3rd floor of my apt building so I will wait till everyone is at work to do it! :laugh:
Question- it says you need hand weights. Can someone tell me which ones? I have a couple of 5s and 10s (and maybe a 20?) somewhere in a closet....
Thanks! I'm excited to join in the group.0 -

I use 3s and that is plenty of weight for me! You do rowing, squat/presses, and side lunges/arm lifts while holding them, so I would just use whatever you're comfortable with. The dvd doesn't specifiy any specific weight.0 -
I'm in! Started my diet today but have exercise planned for tomorrow on. Let's see how much we can shred in 30!0

Just started it yesterday and it kicked my *kitten*, was really sore but made myself do it today anyways because I won't have time tomorrow. It is great so far, but I'm only on level 1.0

I'm in as well. I am on day 2 Level 1, I do spinning classes on Tues and thurs. I take my dogs for a walk before I start to warm up good. And yes it is a killer, I think I am ready to get heavier weights, my arms and shoulders are feeing it today. I am heading to the hot tub to relax my muscles before bed.
what have you found to be the secret to using this website. Should I be leaving at least 400 calories on the table every day, after all my food, and excersize is taken into account?
I lost a ton of weight on DR B. But once you get back into the swing of eating and drinking, it comes running back to find you. LOL
:drinker:
I am interested in hearing from you
Thank you

Welcome, everyone!!! :flowerforyou: Our group keeps growing! :happy:
Checking in... Day 2 for me. I did Level 2 ( I'm mixing them up) along with a bike ride. I should sleep well tonight. :laugh:0 -
Hopefully it's not to late for me to be in! Bought my copy 2 days ago, but havn't gotten started until tonight. Had a nasty sinus infection. Breathing is overrated. Looking forward to seeing us all get some awesome results over the next 30 days!0

I had a sinus infection once. :frown:0 -
I am excited to have others share in the pain Jillian inflicts. I finished day 3 of level 1 today. I struggled more today because my muscles were so sore and fatigued. I also did 20 min interval on my elliptical trainer this evening. I was thinking about taking a one day break from 30 day shred tomorrow. I just started MFP and my new lifestyle 3 weeks ago. I will post my progress but I think I will have to spend about 10 days on each level to allow for some days to recover.:flowerforyou:0

Thanks for this information! I may have some 3s in there. I honestly don't remember! We'll see how it goes today on day 1!0 -
Good morning all! Love reading about everyone else's experience; makes me feel better that I wasn't the only one with the Day 3 soreness and fatigue Did manage to throw myself out of bed this morning and get Day 4 achieved - YAY!!! Let's keep the great work!0
-
I did day 2 this morning and it hurt so bad. I only did 15 minutes due to time and my body hurting!0
-
Day 2 Level 1 done! I woke up a bit sore from yesterday so I made myself do it earlier today. I usually hit the peak of 'soreness' about 24 hours after my workout. I think tomorrow will be my biggest hurdle. It seems like day 3 the pain sets in? So glad to have everyones support and hear each others experiences.0

L1D5 complete! And I did it without taking a break! A definite improvement in endurance since day 1. I still do most of the modified version of the workout, and per a suggestion on another 30 DS thread, I do my push-ups off the wall instead of on the floor.
It is AMAZING how much better my quads feel after taking the 1 day off between days 3 and 4. They aren't sore any more (except during the actual workout) and I'm not walking funny any more either. :laugh: I definitely recommend a rest day if you're hurting.0 -

As you get stronger, keep moving down and then try your push ups off a railing or steps. I mentioned earlier that I use a cedar chest, but I started in the doorway or on my knees :happy:
For those who are hurting, sometimes it's just better to take an easy walk or a rest day to let your muscles recover. They need time to repair and pushing too hard can lead to injuries. :frown:
I'll be Shredding later and I'll check in when done :happy:0 -
Day 3... DONE!!! :happy:0

Just finished day 3 and I'm feeling GREAT! The soreness is much better today and I got through the workout easier too! YAY YAY YAY. This group has helped to motivate me alot. I couldn't wait to post after I finished and I love reading how everyone else is doing. Keep it up!! We Rock!0
-
I finished L1D2. Woo Hoo!!! I was really tired today but went ahead and did it anyway. I am sore. But it is worth it!
I really like seeing everyone's posts.
Keep up the good work!!0 -
Has anyone tried L2 yet? I'm wondering if it's really more difficult than L1 or if it's just working different muscles. I'm not bored yet with L1, so maybe I'll just stick with it for another 5 days before moving on to L2.0
-
Yesterday was L1D5 and I am feeling really good. My muscles are still sore but in a way that lets me know it's working! I had to take a rest day today but will be back at it tomorrow!! I'm thinking about also trying JM Yoga Meltdown, has anyone else tried it?0
-
Today is going to be my rest day from Jillian unless my soreness stops by tonight!0
-
I would like to join. I am going to restart mine tomarrow. Along with that I am going to walk/jog for extra cardion.

I found L2 to be harder. I have done have the DVD before and I am restarting it tomarrow.0 -
L1D6 in the books! Today I FEEL like I've been put through the shredder. I'm not sure if it's because I stayed up too late and I'm tired, or if it's because it's so hot & humid here today. Maybe a combo of both? Either way I sweated 10x more than any other day. I think I'll eat lunch before working out next time.0

Is it too late to join??? I've just ordered my copy of the DVD and hopefully it will be here in the next couple of days!0

Finished day 5 of level 1!! I had to take a day off yesterday to let my muscles recover(my quads were on fire). I also had been using 5 lb hand weights and struggled with completing the strength part but today I used 3 lbs and completed every exercise. I can definately feel and see the toning of my muscles. I think after the end of day 7( doing the modified version) I will see if I can do a couple of days of the full intense exercises before going on the level 2. I wish everyone luck and keep shredding those pounds0
