    day two completed, feel beat again, I kinda though this was going to be easier, but I guess im kind of glad it isn't. but im able to finish with small breaks, which are really just me shaking out my legs because my quads feel so bad during this video, lol.
    but I shake em out and jump right back in

    You might enjoy joining this thread. It is very similar to yours and there are several folks on it that started at or around the 1st of June.

    day 4 completed for me
    I have a few problems though, I still for the life of me cant do the pushups
    and in the first circuit the squat/should press kills my shoulder, I always take a break the second time
    and that move doesn't appear to burn my quads, or my mind is only focused on the shoulders, but when I get to the cardio, jumping jacks and jump rope, my quads begin to die out on me and I have to break to shake em out. but I used to be able to do them forever,

    other than that, im pretty solid till the very end, and those bicycle crunches, destroy me, so I stop half way through take a 5 sec break and finish with regular crunches

    I started yesterday and was also surprised by how beat I felt after. I sure doesn't look as hard as it is.
    If you feel like you've reached exhaustion from certain moves you could lower your weight for the second set or both sets.
    You could also do modified jumping jacks or march in place instead of the butt kicks.
    I have to do modified push ups at this point to do all of them.

    Hello,

    Just finished day 9 level one, so far fro what I can say is it does seem to kill until the fourth or fifth day, then all of a sudden I found I was doing all of the exercises the whole way through (those side lunges kill me though). Another thing, for me at least, is taking a rest day, I had one after the fifth day and the next time I did it I could work through the dvd so much better and harder. Tomorrow is my last day on level one then a rest day and then onto level two. I would say I'll post about it but am fully expecting not to be able to move! Keep it up guys, we can so do this.

    day 7 done for me, started using 5 lb weights, I was using 2lb and felt I was cheating, but 5 is definitely enough for the first squat exercise with the shoulder press and for the side lunge thing, my shoulders be dead,
    only thing giving me major problems now is static lunge since I tend to loose my balance all the time, probably just my legs quitting on me though, lol
    that and the jump rope because it does damage to my quads

    It's day 3 for me and better than yesterday. (I struggled to go up stairs after those lunges!) I'm glad to hear how everyone seems to be making little progresses. You all actually help me believe I can do this!

    Just finished day 1- I was a sweaty mess when I finished but I felt so accomplished! Unfortunately having to parallel park my car shortly after doing the exercises proved really difficult- my arms wouldn't cooperate! I'm excited to stick with this though. Have to remember to take measurements tonight!

    yeah, just finished day 8, and proud of it, although in 3 days I start level 2, I am afraid, but I will survive,

    Congrats you are doing great! I finished Level 2 Day 4 this morning. You will feel your endurance build up just keep doing it. I would suggest at least 1 day of rest to give your body time to recover.
