Tried level 1 of the 30 day shred for the first time last night.
I lasted 5 minutes before I had to stop because I felt sick and like I was going to faint!
How am I supposed to get fit and lose weight if I can only last 5 minutes?

keep doing it ... and every time you will manage more and more
in a few weeks or a month you might be able to do the whole thing and then you can start doing it properly
fitness is earned0 -
Have another go, if you get to 5 minutes 30 seconds you have improved. As rabbitjb says, over time you WILL improve, just keep plugging away at it.0

Just keep pressing play and you'll get there. Also there is no shame in following the modifier0
-
Don't give up. If you need to take breaks and modify. Keep at it and you will get better.0

Avvept where you are now and as said above the aim i for progressive improvement. Keep doing it and you will find it easier and go further. If 30 day shred is too much then start with walking and keep adding 5 minutes or 100 metres each day. Take breaks. Progression is the way everyone no matter what fitness level works.0

Never give up is the key. Everyone goes through the same and you will improve. I promise. You're only a joke if you let this beat you and you give up. Don't let it beat you. Every human is capable of great things.0 -
Get to your breaking point, push for another 30 seconds, stop and repeat tomorrow. It will vary daily but these things come with time. 30DS is quite a killer for a first time exerciser. I thought so anyway!
Just remember when your trying to push through, it DOES get results0 -
You might also want to start with some lower intensity cardio to build up your endurance. Walk fast, run if you can, and/or bike.0

That's 5 minutes longer than someone sitting still. Do 6 next time etc. Every pro was once an ameture.0

That's 5 more minutes than what I did0

Persevering is the best thing you can do0

You're no joke! I can only do five minutes too. My husband won't let me do it now because I'm chronically ill and it takes me down big time, but before I fell ill I tried it myself and nearly died after those first five minutes! I managed to get through the whole workout after about two weeks. Don't give up!!0 -
First time posting/answering in a forum! I am just about done with level 3 and will say it is a ROUGH workout. I honestly thought I would die the first day or two of each level. There is no shame in using the modifications. I started out doing a lot of the modifications, and still do on a few of the modifications because of my back. Do what you can..and don't give up. When I first started I could barely keep up with the jumping jacks and would go back to running in place until it was time to "switch". (And I thought I was in relatively good shape...ha!) Keep at it and don't give up! I am kind of excited to see how many inches I was able to take off from this. I am soo close to my goal , that I was hoping this would help whoop me in to shape. Good luck!0

Thanks guys! I'll try again tonight and as long as I get past 5 minutes, I'll count it as a success!!0

You will get better at it. Right now not only r u doing something u have never done, u have to pay attention to the moves. Once u know what is going on, u can focus on the exercise. It will get easier.0

Fat loss comes from what and how much you eat.
As for fitness, persistence, patience, and progression. Next time, do six minutes, and so on.

Tomorrow aim for 6 minutes...the day after aim for 7....eventually you will be doing the whole thing - no problem!0

We all started somewhere ... Keep pushing and didn't give up!! Cheera0

Remember it's a long journey - I am *shocked* every day at what I can do now compared to what I could do (which was mostly lie on the floor gasping) when I first started @ 6 months ago. The only way to improve is to keep trying0
