    Thrilled to see everyone here!!! JUST DID IT!!

    Day/Level: D1L1
    Breaks: 0
    Starting weight: 175 lbs (5'5)

    I gotta say, I did this AFTER I did another workout video!!
    First I did 'The Firm: Dance Express" and burned 250 cals in 25 mins according to HRM
    Then I did the 30 day shred and also burned 250 cals according to HRM (including stretching)

    I think the first workout video really warmed up before the shred. I don't want to injure myself and Jillian doesn't give too much of a warm up.

    For those you about to do it: Circuit 1 is the hardest, but it is all downhill from there (in my opinion).

    I used 2 lb weights because I didn't want to get discouraged and I wanted to make sure I could do it. Circuit 1, 2lb weights killed me!! I probably will use 3 lb weights for the other circuits. But nothing higher (for now)

    I feel fantastic right now :)

    Can't wait to see how you all do!!! And see you again on here tomorrow!

    Ok, I just did and am still alive!!!


    Day 1/Level 1
    Breaks: two in first cardio section, none after that! Yay!
    CW: 217 (according to old scales - new scales bought this week are LYING!! lol)

    I actually really enjoyed this! It was really hard but I surprised myself by only stopping twice in the first cardio section (those bl**dy jumping jacks!). Sweated buckets and face like a beetroot!! We'll see if I can move tomorrow though ...

    I agree - the first circuit is definitely the hardest!

    You can record it in cardiovascular, search "circuit training"

    I'm gonna start today too... I've been doing it but not everyday (didn't know I had to).

    You log it as circuit training in the cardio section.... :)

    Not sure how much I weigh at the moment, I promised my hubby I wouldn't weigh-in until after my birthday (6/5) so I would stop getting discouraged when the scale doesn't move like I want it to.

    Good luck everyone, I certainly need the motivation.... I have a mini goal of 60+ lbs. to loose but I would to ultimately loose all of it, about 90+ lbs.

    Feel free to add me anyone, if you are in the same boat as me :)

    Did the 1st workout. Did fine in all of it except for the 1st round. I suck at pushups! I also only have 6.6 lb weights so that hindered my side quat arm lift things. too heavy.

    all in all, good, quick workout, but I don't feel like it's enough for the day. going to go for a run now

    Day 1/ Level 1
    Breaks- 1
    CW- 143lbs, 5'5"
    3lb weights was a good start but those raises with the side lunge were killing me! I HATE jumping rope way worse than jumping jacks, what a burn!

    I just want to say that if it hadn't been for this thread I would have caved to errands I could have run on my lunch break instead getting in my 30DS. Thank you! :flowerforyou:

    D2L1 - 2 breaks in first cardio

    Surprisingly I wasn't too sore this morning so decided to do day 2 early. Felt the same as yesterday - exhausted! Enjoyed it though! :)

    I did D1L1 last night and about to do D2 here in a minute. I'm going away tonight so I won't be able to do it later. I think I took one break

    My weight yesterday morning was 167 (5'6"). I would really love to lose 20 lbs. I also completed C25k not that long ago and I'm running 2-3 days per week.

    D2L1 this morning.
    Breaks- 1

    A little sore, but that just means it's working. It did go by faster the second day, probably because I knew what to expect.

    Day 2/Level1
    Breaks:0

    Damn circuit 1 is so hard!! But you get through it. Those squat and overhead dumbell presses KILL my shoulders. And then later on with the side lunges you do even MORE shoulders. I am not trying to build shoulders here. I am going to modify the side lunge move and do a side lunge/tricep press move instead.
