I woke up with the touch of the stomach flu this morning but I did it anways. It was tough but I was expecting it to be a lot worse. When are you going to try level 2? I'm thinking maybe next week??

I started my level 2 today ( 2 days earlier than the recommended 10 days for each level) and I gotta say, I am was whopped.
I normally log it under circuit training and according to the data base for 20 minutes it gives me 185 calories burned.
Have fun and I am glad you started it, it does work!:flowerforyou:

not quite in ... i did it yesterday and today my arms hurt too much (from the pushups in level 1) to do it again so i walked for an hour and a half. but i'm hoping i can do it tomorrow, no matter how i feel i'm going to try! it's really tough for me though, i'm pretty darn out of shape.

autumn_lea85

Was everyone as sore as I was today? I'm hurting in places I didn't know I had muscles!

Hi, Can I join you too? I started last week, Just on level 1 using 1.5KG weights. (first 4 days I didnt use weights). Im doing it 5 days per week as 2 days I go to Moky dance class (Like zumba).

I was tired throughout the first week but not too stiff. Defo keep it up.x

Welcome to the group! Has anyone taken measurements? I"m going to take mine today. I have read a few posts and they say to take measurements with 30 Day Shred instead of weighing becuase you are gaining so much muscle with it.

rebecky27

Can I join in? I'm on Day 4 of Level 1. I seem to be the only one left posting in another 30 day shred thread I'm in. I'm in a second one too....but waaay behind most of that group. This one sounds perfect!

randa_behnam

I did level 1 today. I have had this dvd for aout 2 weeks but I haven't been consistent with it. This dvd is so tough to me, when I first did it, I kid you not, I could not stretch out my left arm for 2 days. I am getting better with the push ups so I am happy about that. I also have her banish fat boost metabolism dvd as well. I live on the 3rd floor so its hard to do this without making too much noise. I try to do it when my neighbors are at work since my work schedule is different from theirs.

I can suffer with you! I want to get healthier and look better in my clothes!

Welcome newbies! The more the merrier! So far I haven't been sore in my arms but my quads and *kitten* are killing me. Right now I'm using 3 pound weights. I'm thinking about bumping it to 5 lbs but I'm worried how much legs will react since their killing me with 3 lbs. Maybe I will alternate weights depending on the excerise. How much weight is everyone else using? I read online that you should see results within 5 days of doing video, assuming you are watching what you eat. Jillian is a big advocate of clean eating. If you don't know what that is google it, it's very interesting. I hope I can gather enough willpower to incorporate clean eating soon.

I don't have on demad so i'm not sure about that. I got mine at target for 9 and I know you can get it on amazon as well. Just do the video once a day for 30 days working from level one to level three and post here as you like. It's mainly about supporting ad motivating each other!.

rebecky27

I'm using 3 pound weights right now. Debating going up to 5lbs. I'm the opposite, I'm sore in the arms, legs burn for a while after workout, but don't get sore. Well....only when going down stairs are they a bit sore....lol!

The move where you lunge to the side and bring your arms up to eye level kills me! That move is the only reason why I have not gone up to 5lbs. I have thought about maybe just using the 3 pound ones during that one particular exercise.

Morning

Hows it going? I enjoyed it yesterday and Im not sore today. I cant do it today though but will walk dogs and be back on track tomorrow.

I still havent done measurements! I think I should but need a tape measure. My weight hasnt moved in a couple of weeks, at least it isnt going up!

How is everyone doing? I tried level two this morning. It was pretty intense. Anyone else tried it yet?

Morning

Ive dont level one this morning and Im moving onto level 2 now. Im working at the farm tomorrow (my BF is a farming) so not sure if I will have the energy but I will try and start it tomorrow.

Did you prefer it to No 1?

Hows everyone else doing?

autumn_lea85

i like them both. The level 2 cardio is way more intense

helenmelon29

Morning

Still havent done level 2 as been working on farm all weekend and had no energy to do it. Back on track this week. Are you noticing any differences? Is anyone else still doing it? x

antigeist

Thought I'd post in here too! I started D1 yesterday and did D2 this morning, I've put off posting because I wasn't sure I was motivated enough but since I've done it two days in a row, I know I am ready to take this on.

The only problem I have is that my body seems to be anti-cardio in this program. I can deal with strength and abs no problems, but start me doing those damn butt kicks and my body just wants to screw up. Every time she says "kick your glutes" it messes me up and I start kicking all wobbly haha. I'll get better at it!

If anyone wants to add me as a friend, go ahead

helenmelon29

Hi antigeist

It defo gets easier Im about to start Level 2. I will add you as a friend now.x

autumn_lea85

Hey everyone. We are on day 11 now...it's going by so fast. Is anyone noticing any differences? I have maintained my weight (unfortunately) but lost inches. If you haven't started level 2 yet you should try it. You might suprise yourself!

helenmelon29

Hi, Im on day 3 for level 2 and its been going ok.. I havent been doing it each day. Prob 4/5 days per week. I dont do it at weekends when I work on the farm. Or when I go to my dance workout class.

I was stuck on my weight since I started but 3lb down today but will wait until official weigh in day to see if its still down before I post me new weight. x
