    I usually do one rest day. Yesterday for me. I'm just wiped out on Fridays!

    I still can't do a real push up! Modified for me. Someday!

    Awesome job and keep it going everyone!

    Finished for today! I put my phone in front of the TV, turned down Jillian's voice and watched an episode of The 100 while I was doing it. Went by quick!

    Day 5 done! Still am not up to standard push up form yet, but I'm finding I can do more modified reps each time. So that's progress!

    Quick question, are we supposed to have one rest day each week?
    In a podcast years ago, she said it was meant to be done 3-4 days a week.

    **Currently listening to 2011 podcasts from her to try and find it.**
    Okay so looks like she mentioned in late Dec 2008 on a radio show. The only trace I can find of the podcasts from that show are on a website that wants Credit card information to download them.

    Thanks for the info :)
    I'll just make Sunday my rest day so I can recover to move onto the next level Monday. 3-4 days seems a little light seeing how it's such a short workout.

    I actually started this on Tuesday so I’m up to speed with you guys on day 5!
    If you listen to her intro on the first video she says to do 4-5 times a week but be sure to take at least one rest day.
    I can’t coordinate myself for running man so I substitute high knees instead.

    Well I just finished Week 1! I almost took my rest day today, but I pushed myself to do it, so now I can take it easy tomorrow.

    Hope everyones weekend is going well, and stay strong!

    If it's only supposed to be done 3-4 times a week, how many days are you supposed to do per level? I just thought it was an every day workout for 30 days. Wasn't planning on resting since it's only 20 minutes. I finished day 5 last night in my hotel room. Lol.

    6 days at each level if I calculated correctly.

    From what I read Jillian said to do it something like:
    2 Days 30DS Level 1
    1 Day Cardio or Resistance Training
    2 Days 30DS Level 1
    1 Day Cardio or Resistance Training
    1 Day Rest
    2 Days 30DS Level 1
    1 Day Cardio or Resistance Training
    2 Days 30DS Level 2
    And so on

    I wish I could listen to the actual podcast where she said it, but as I said above the only site that I can find with those old podcasts requires credit card information to download it.

    I started Jillian 's 30ds on 7th April along with her 6 week 6 pack dvd. It's been tough but so worth it! I've just started level 2 last week (for both 30ds and 6w6p) but am already seeing results. For the first time ever (36 yrs old with 2 kids) I have obliques and my tummy looks toned! When I first started I thought I was fit but her workouts killed me, could barely walk for days but now I feel so much fitter. It's definately worth it :)

    So you're doing them together? Are you alternating doing 30ds one day and then 6 week 6 pack the next? I haven't tried the latter, but I think I will after 30ds. I'll have 5 weeks once I'm done before my vacation!

    I've finished day 6. I'm probably just going to do 30 days straight.

    Hi there. I’m a bit late to the party but I’m looking to do my first 30 day shred today. I have been waiting for my knee to recover from an injury. I may have to do an alternative to lunges.

    Clover_23 I have been doing them together, I do 30ds then go straight into 6w6p ( I fast forward through the warmup for 6w6p though and just go right into the workout) I have found getting up first thing and doing it before the kids get up is best for me, otherwise I could talk myself out of it through the day. I try to do 2 days then have 1 day off and so on, but I saw the earlier posts saying it's good to do some other resistance training between Jillian days so I might try that even if it's just for 20 mins. I like the 6w6p dvd best, but I don't want to drop 30ds now that I have started so will see them both through. What I think did help me in seeing physical results was adding in a pair of 0.5kg ankle weights about 2 wks ago. I was finding some of the ab crunches were getting too easy for me, so the ankle weights just added more resistance for me. My hubby has weights and dumbells in the house, I probably use a few different weights throughout the workouts depending on how easy/hard I find them. Hope this helps, I feel like doing this really transformed my shape in such a short space of time, wish I'd figured this out yrs ago! Good luck for your vacation :)

    Did Level 2 Day 1 today...I'm thinking I might be on this one for around 2 weeks lol I couldn't do any of the plank exercises long, and overall, it seriously kicked my *kitten*.

    I just finished doing 5 days of Level 1. I'm not sure when I should move on to level 2 but reading through some of these posts makes me realize I'm definitely not ready lol I am excited for the day I finally will be though!

    I haven't taken any measurements yet. I'll probably do that once I hit day 10

    I'm just doing 10 days each level. I figured a 20 minute workout each day isn't too much. Especially since the only other exercise I'm doing right now is walking.
    Also the day of the month helps me know which day I'm on :P

    I'm in I just started today. I've done it all the way through before years ago. Thought I was going to die. I want to really push myself to stick to it this time. I've started and stopped before. I have some post baby pudge to lose.

    Level 2 is seriously kicking my butt. I'm dripping sweat after, you'd think I had a cup of water thrown at me. This weeks weigh in I gained two pounds and I'm hoping its just water retention. I was only a pound away from hitting my first goal weight :(

    Could be muscle too! Keep up the great work! I attempted lvl 2 yesterday but had to keep stopping because of the sweat on my hands. Doesn't work well with tile floor lol

    Really did not want to do my workout today but powered through it because I knew I would regret it if I didnt. I've lost track of what day I'm on. I think it's like 8 or 9. Still lvl 1.

    Good luck today, everyone. You can definitely do it!

    Day 3 of Lvl 2 today, and I actually lasted during the plank moves a lot longer! I really need to get a mat so my shoes will stop sliding on my floor

    Level 2 is kicking my butt! I feel like I'm using more.muscles with this level. Or maybe level 1 was just getting easy.

    I didn't do a 30DS video on Sunday morning but I completed the rest of my workouts (I have morning and evening workouts every day). My body just told me nope that morning and I listened.

    Did level 1 yesterday and I gotta say, that break really helped. I was able to complete the exercises a lot better than I usually do.

    And today I did a level 2. I felt like I was going to throw up majority of that video but I burned more calories only doing some of this workout than doing all of level 1. So I'm officially going to be sticking to the second level. My HR stayed between 160-180 the whole time

    How is everyone else doing?

    My left knee is starting to crunch and pop (thanks military), so I've been patching it up all day to help relax it. I almost said 'nope' to Day 5 of lvl 2, but I pushed through it. I think I need to start adding in a nightly stretch routine.

    On a good note, during the plank exercises, instead of dropping to the knees, I do upwards dog so my arms are still working and I'm technically not resting. I've noticed I'm able to last a lot longer if not the complete duration of the circuits now. I'll still be sticking with lvl 2 for longer though lol

    Day 17 done. I've had a little knee pain, so I did the modified versions tonight to hopefully not make it worse. Still super tough!

    It is quick! I haven't done it yet today, but I noticed last night I was able to do level 2 more easily. Just two more workouts until level three!
