    Already starting to mock jm..."I could always use a good chest fly in my life" gets me every time she cracks me up!


    The thing that gets me is when she says, "We're right here doing it with you." Well, maybe the two girls in the back are doing it with us, but Jillian got off pretty easy!

    ^ That, and I'm sure they're in MUCH better shape than I am. It has to be easier for those girls! Haha.

    I think mocking JM is what gets me through the workout, not kidding. :P

    not all of it is easy for them if you pay attention they are both losing their balance at times and wait till level 2 and 3 I feel bad for the girl on the left (jillian's right side) the one doing the hard exercises jillian starts messing with her...

    Ok guys so I have just completed Day 4 level 1 of 30DS. Yay me!

    I'm so proud that I completed ALL of the circuits without stopping 1or2 moves from the end of each one. I am not half as 'sweaty betty' as I was on day 1 either so that is another positive.
    I am still only able to do modified push ups but hey - I'm happy with that!!

    How are you all doing?
    Keep pushing forward guys - together we can do it!!!! :happy:

    I'm a little late in joining you, but I just did day 1. I had no idea how a 20 minute workout could be as bad as everyone was saying. Well Jillian just kicked my butt. I only had 5 lb weights, which I don't think helped either. I had to stop and take a few breaks, but I'm sure even with those I got my intensity for the day in!

    Also wanted to add, I used my HRM and it said i burned 260 calories for level 1. So everyone's estimates of 220-280 seem about right depending how hard you push yourself.

    Hello everyone. I just finished level 1 Day 5. I really think this is working, I can feel all my muscles getting stronger. And even though it hurts I know that when I'm done I will be sooooo happy.

    Hope u don't mind me just coming in and posting!! :blushing:

    Hope everyone has a great day and keep pushing through it! :bigsmile:

    Just finished Day 5. I'm bored! This program is SO repetitive.
    I think I'm going to have to go buy heavier weights, because the squat-presses and static lunge/bicep curls and chest flies are just feeling too easy. I guess that means its working though!?

    I never did post my starting measurements, so I guess I'll do that now:

    Waist: 31"
    Hips: 36"
    Arms: 11"
    Thighs: 21"

    I don't have a proper tape measure, but I think that'll do for now (:

    I have to say, seeing your alls measurements is a little nauseating lmao I'm a bit larger but hopefully that just means I will have some seriously awesome results! At this point I would say there is no way I could do some of the things that are in Level 2 and 3 but I figure as long as I keep pushing myself and doing the best I can then I will see results :) I also have some friends to do it with including my 12 year old daughter and even she was breathing hard and sore and she only weighs 120 lol So that goes to show how intensive this work out is! I told her since she isn't even over weight she will be ripped at the end of 30 days lmao

    I'm in! I just bought it last week, and I really like it so far. I only have 2 lb weights at home though, and they are too light for some of the exercises, so I'll have to buy some 5s and 10s, I think. I went to the gym and did the strength training exercises with some heavier dumbbells and it felt really good.

    Hey lotus,

    It's a 30-day workout DVD by Jillian Michaels, one of the trainers from The Biggest Loser. It has three levels, and you do each one for 10 days. It's great because it's really short (only 20 minutes long) and you do interval training (switch exercises every 1-3 minutes). I got mine at Target. You need a yoga mat (if you don't have carpet in front of your TV) and a set of dumbbells.

    Hey Nicole,

    I was starting to get bored too, so I modified the exercises. If I know what she's going to say I start the next exercise before she does, and I modified some of the moves to make them more challenging (like the ab moves). I'll also be buying heavier weights because the rows and the chest flies are too easy.

    Wow its great to read that some of you are already fit enough to be bored & finding level 1 too easy. I'm nowhere near that stage but its getting easier as each day goes by.

    I also tagged on 20mins on my Elliptical trainer after completing Day 5 level 1. Yay me! :happy:

    How did you guys get on today?

    Day 4 for me, and this is the first day it seems to be getting easier. I'm also not too sore the next day anymore.

    I'm fixing to do Level 1 Day 6, but I'm having a really hard time getting motivated to get up off my butt. Oh well, you have to do what you have to do!

    Day 6 level 1 in the bag last night. Bring on day 7 level 1 tonight.
    Hope I start to see some changes soon as only lost 0.5lbs over the last week & no inches. It's hard to stay highly motivated or positive. I AM gonna stick at it though cos don't want to throw in the towel too easily!:huh:

    How is everyone else doing?

    Level 1 Day 7 done, and I was about THIS close to "phoning it in." I don't know if its just me, but the repetitiveness is really starting to get to me! I tried switching it up, but bleh. I feel pretty good about myself though, because I pushed it out anyway. (:

    I'm up for it, but where did you get the DVD? I have (Beach Body) Insanity will that work? I have lost 15 pounds in the last 3 months, but I want to lose 40 more by the end of the year...OUCH. I need all the moral support I can get. LindaSusieQ

    Day 7, level 1 in the bag. I definitely don't ache the next day so I'm hopefully doing it right & it's just my muscles getting used to it!
    It feels great that I've done 7 days straight of a fitness DVD as I've never had the time to do an hour or more everynight. But as this is only 20mins I am finding the time without issue! Yay!
    How are you guys doing?

    Day 6 of level 1 for me. I ate way too much to day at a fourth of July party and really didn't feel like exercising, but figure I did enough damage as it was. It's much easier now than it was. It doens't hurt anymore, even when I forgot to crate the dog first and he ended up sitting on my chest for ab exercises. I guess that's jsut extra resisitence and intensity. :laugh:
