    Just completed L1D6. I haven't noticed much of a difference as yet, so I'm getting a little frustrated with her when she says that she bets you're feeling much different at day 5, 6 or 7. We'll see...

    I am so sore! I tried l2 in the evening to see what it was like. Didn't put much effort in as I was so tired from l1 but I'm so stiff now! Anyone else aching?

    I hurt everywhere!! But I love it☺ Oh how I've missed that..lol

    My sports bra arrived (Freya active underwired- really supportive but a tiny bit large in the back, already on the tightest hook, but hopefully it won't stretch like normal bras do) and did L1D2. Even more of a killer when doing all the cardio properly! Feeling good now it's over though.

    Day 2 completed! I also do modified push ups, I can only do about 2 proper ones :# I'm hoping to build my strength up a bit and be able to do them properly one day.

    Just Completed W1D1! Whew! Those anterior raises killed me!
    Also, for my own sake, I'm posting my starting weight and measurements so I can compare after Day 30!

    Weight: 187.2
    Left bicep: 12.5
    Right bicep: 12
    Chest: 42.5
    Waist: 37
    Low waist (belly button): 42.5
    Hips: 44
    Left thigh: 25.5
    Right thigh: 25.5

    Here's hoping for some inches lost!

    I wanted to take my measurements also... But my tape measurer went missing. Grr!

    Day 1 is done☺ I forgot how hard that was..lol

    I started today....push ups made me wanna cry. I have to do 'modified' push ups... :'(

    But I did them and that's what counts! :)

    Don't feel too bad; I have to do the modified ones also :/ Push-ups SUCK. I have absolutely no upper body strength. I pretty much follow Anita in the workout... lol!

    Omg TY guys for the motivation!! I woke up much more sore than I was when I went to bed last night.. & I still carried through w/ L01D02. I AM SOO PROUD!

    I thought the push-ups were tough, but then I did the anterior raises.. Omgg... I had to do them w/out my 3 lb weights; bc they became impossible. LOL!

    I literally am dripping wet from sweat 1/2 way through this workout... LITERALLY....

    I hope I am able to carry onto Level 2 this time around.. bc last time I did this; I could not handle level 2... :neutral:

    At this point I finish the workout; but pause the dvd like 8x's to catch my breath or take a mini-break.

    That might be a good option to get you ready for 30DS. I've read people have had more success doing this if 30DS is just too much for their fitness level. Nothing wrong with that. The last thing you need is an injury that will prevent any activity.

    Regarding your shin splints, how old are your shoes? You might want to head to your local running store that can evaluate your stride and have them fit you for a proper pair of cross trainers. It really helped my shin splints.

    Good luck and don't give up!

    I don't know that there is a beginner version :/ Perhaps you could start by doing some cardio @ first? Maybe you could go for a walk w/ your baby in the stroller? Hm.. any suggestions guys? I have no idea; but id like to help you find a way for more progression.

    This is a very hard program even for those who have been working out for a while, so i suggest if you havent been doing much this may be just too much for you. Don't rush it, the last thing you need is an injury which can set you all the way back. If there is a beginner's shred start off with that and work your way up. and i definitely agree with @one_beauty do a little bit of cardio before to loosen up and warm your muscles.

    Hope this helps.

    I have 2 workouts left of the Beginner Shred and then I plan on starting the 30 Day Shred. I hoped that the beginner shred would prep me for the 30 Day Shred. I should finish the Beginner Shred tomorrow and will try to get started on the 30 Day Shred Saturday. I will definitely be coming here for motivation support and to post my progress!

    I just started 30DS last month and love it! I've been a bit sporadic lately (major car accidents will do that to you), but I'm looking forward to jumping on the wagon again soon. Hopefully this thread will keep me motivated; thanks for getting it started! At first I felt soooo out of shape bc I could hardly make it through the workout, but I love that I can get an intense (for me) workout in such a small amount of time. I get really impatient when I don't see results right away (patience has never been a great virtue of mine), but I'm starting to feel a teeny tiny bit less jiggly... :)

    I too try to warm up a bit more than JM does (just a little jog around the block), and I stretch a bit more at the end as well.

    Hey everyone!! Is so cool to find this group! Today was my D2 of L1 and the soreness in my arms... oh Jesus! It hurts!!
    However, I could feel that I went through the cardio sections much better than yesterday (when I wanted to die a little).
    Didn't stop through the whole workout for more than 5 seconds and only did it (stop) twice YEY!
    I am looking forward to reading the progress of all of you! B)

    I'm on day 8. Soreness is all gone. Feel energized after the workout. Is anyone adding cardio to this?

    Everybody keep up the good work. FYI my body isnt as sore anymore.

    I forgot to post yesterday!!! Completed D2 of L1...I am way sore!

    Is anyone out there doing the Ripped in 30 DVD? I didn't even realize that there are different ones! DUH! Anyhow, that is the one I am doing so if anyone else is also let me know!

    I have and plan on taking a pic after each day so I can go back and HOPEFULLY see results!

    Does anyone log this into a fitness tracker...besides MFP? I track all my exercise into Map My Run, you can log almost anything you can think of. BUT is does not have 30DS listed. I've been logging 30DS as 20 minutes of circuit training. Does that make sense? I like using Map My Run because it syncs to MFP. Thoughts?

    I do cardio as well. I will usually run about 3 miles or use our recumbent bike for 30 minutes to an hour.

    Hey I wanna play! I started Tuesday when I had a day off. My legs were so sore Wednesday I could barely sit down (had to fall into my chair lol). So I'm sad to say I skipped Wednesday but got back on track Thursday. So now I'm on day 3. I'm embarrassed to say that I do the push-ups against the wall because I can't do the regular one and the modified kill my knees. But hey at least I'm trying right?

    What the simple fact that you are doing it is great! dont let that get you down! and being able to pick your self back up even after skipping a day is a great achievement it means u didnt give up!. Push-ups against the wall are still a great way to get it it. Its always best to modify the exercising to fit you so you can avoid injury. Keep up the great work!

    I agree w/ Albygb; modified is far better than not doing it at all!! I have trouble w/ the modified pushups too.. So no judgment here!! I do lots of modified versions of the exercise bc its really tough!

    I completed L01D03 today despite my soreness; which is really bad :/

    I also obsessively weigh myself, and compared to yesterday I am up 1.2 lbs :( BUT I am extremely sore; so I will attribute the gain to that. I have been eating within my calories so it doesn't make sense otherwise.

    Here's to hoping I can continue this during the weekend to come!!

    I'm a tiny bit heavier today too. From what I understand it's just our muscles holding onto water to help repair themselves.

    Just done L1D3, I'm very stiff but the actual exercisers are getting easier, I'm taking less breaks! I'm doing it alongside extra strength training, only bodyweight as I can't get to an actual gym. Although I also walked 2 miles in heels today, that didn't help the stiffness!

    I just finished my 3rd day, 4th session :)
    Yesterday I did it twice, Getting excited by how much stronger I feel everyday.

    I am having a bit of knee trouble (was doing a different video with a lot of knee bending and jumping for a couple of weeks prior), does anyone have any tricks for knee care?
