    30DS day 1 done! Harder than I remember. It'll get easier, though. 392 cals in 26 minutes is worth the hard work. Day 1 of C25K tonight (gotta do it at night because it's 9 am and already about 95 degrees).

    I really need to get a HRM:laugh: I am about to head out the door to do my first day week 1 C2K and I'm wondering how I'll figure out my calories, I looked at the Walmart thing but it doesn't have anything I noticed I can use, and I looked at the excercise's on here and there are alot of options but how do you know which one is the right one to choose? I don't want to give myself too much credit, but I also don't want to not give myself enough :laugh: Any suggestions?

    I don't know..I got my HRM at Kmart for $30, did you try there? Because with a lot of things, you can kind of estimate based on what MFP says, but when you're doing a combo of running and walking, I think it gets a little harder.

    Do u have a phone u can download an app. I have cardio trainer on mine and it shows the distance, speed, and the amount of calories I burned. Of course the calorie burn is probably not as accurate as a hrm but it's a good start so u have an idea.

    If you don't mind me asking, how do you log in the 30DS in your exercise diary? I've been putting it in as 'circuit training, general' (for level 2) but I'm not too sure if that's correct.

    Count me in... I need some motivation as I have been off the wagon since mid April and just joined a Biggest Loser competition at work.

    I have an HRM, so I just created my own workout title on here and plugged in my calories, but if you don't have one, you're right to log it as circuit training because that's what it is. :smile:

    C25k is a running program, so you don't buy anything. Look at C25k.com for more info. Oh! I did day 1 last night and it kicked my butt! I wanted to quit, and I probably would have, but my boyfriend was with me, so I didn't. Shred is going to be killer today since I'm so sore. Oh well..gotta do it. Have a great day, people!

    Totally with you. Shred was extra hard today just because I was so sore from C25k yesterday. We've got good boyfriends, though. Mine suffered with me, too :tongue:

    Day two of shred DONE.

    I really thought i might not make it after c25k today but i found energy from somewhere at half 11 at night. I am sure i am loved by my neighbours :laugh:
    It is great to have the support of your partner. I know only you can do it but it makes me so sad when i read threads about people having no support.
    Did everyone take their before pics?

    I hope i feel like that after level 1. I am scared to even look at leve 2 & 3.
    You got this. 1/3 way done already.

    Here's my assessment of 30DS Phase 1. Feel free to disagree or add your own. :smile:

    Circuit 1
    Strength: HATE, HATE, HATE!
    Cardio: Hate even more than strength
    Abs: Love this one

    Circuit 2
    Strength: Meh..don't love it.
    Cardio: Definitely the most tolerable one of the 3
    Abs: Not my favorite, but not so bad.

    Circuit 3
    Strength: Like this one
    Cardio: If it weren't for all that jumping, this would be ok..haha
    Abs: Ugh..my legs are dying by this time. Don't make me keep them up!
