    Is everyone posting daily or once a week?

    I did the NMTZ this morning, and it was tough. Now, I remember why I didn't keep doing it. LOL, it was easier this time around but still a challenge. It was nice to do something other than 30DS for a break. Keep it strong everyone!

    I did days 1 and 2 but I am going to move day 3 to the rest day. I am on the last 2 days of 30DS so I was able to over lap the last 2 days, but not today. NMTZ is like an hour long and with the shred that would be an hour and a half. I just didn't have the time or energy to workout with Jillian for that long.

    Hello again ladies!

    weeziews - I will prob check in everyday or every other day, it helps to keep me on track!

    Day 2 done! I did Ripped in 30 Week 1 today. NMTZ is tomorrow, which is good because I do feel like I need to get some good strength training in...but I know it's going to be a tough one lol. I think I've only done the full workout once since owning the dvd haha.

    Keep it up everything! You all are doing great!

    Great to see all the activity on this thread! I am so excited to be committed to this program with you all! My goal is to check in every day because I need the accountability. Plus I want to share stories of how much I love/hate the program :)

    love/hate the program is right!! :-)

    I did NMTZ yesterday morning and OMG, my abs are sore. Geesh, my core really needs some help. I skipped working out this morning, but will do it this evening.

    Keep up the great work!

    Sounds like everyone is off to a great start!

    I started yesturday (2 days later than I wanted to due to illness) with the shred level 1 and it felt so easy! Two months ago I would have felt like I was going to die. I ended up using my 3lb weights through the whole thing and even added them in during the cardio (when I started I could barely use my 1lb weights). I am actually sore today and haven't been in a long time. I'll be doing ripped in 30 level 1 tonight after work. I'll probably check in every day or so to hold myself accountable as well.

    Keep it up everyone!

    I felt the same way! It's amazing how much stronger we've gotten from her workouts...and now we will get even STRONGER!

    Did NMTZ today and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would. That surrender move though...OW, hurts every single time.

    Shred L1 again tomorrow!

    Just saw this thread. I am on day 4 of the 30 day slim down, so I did 30DS Level 1 today. I do all the cardio with dumbbells to make it harder. BFBM is tomorrow. It will be my first time doing it. Hope it goes well.

    Did Ripped in 30 last night and tonight I will be doing NMTZ! I haven't done this video in about six months so I'm curious to see how it goes. I feel really sore from yesturday. I've never felt so sore from the shred or ripped level 1 before but I have been getting as deep as possible into every single move (squats in particular) and it made me really feel it yesturday and today.

    Burn baby burn!!

    NMTZ was easier than I remember and I upgraded my weights for it too. :o) Waiting for my bf to get off work and then we are playing tennis and I also have to do six week six pack level 1 today, which I have never done before.

    Have a happy and healthy weekend everyone!

    I did BFBM yesterday. It was tough, but I like the kickboxing moves. 30DS level 1 today. That will be a breeze.

    Hey ladies!

    Today was Quick Trouble Zones for me. Instead of just doing circuits 1, 3, and 4, I also did circuit 2 as someone previously suggested. That way, I just let the dvd play through and didn't have to stop and skip it. My abs can always use some work!

    Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

    Hey ladies- I finished No More Trouble Zones today. Oh man- I can't wait for my 20 minute work outs!! The long ones really make me appreciate the shorter ones!

    My thighs are killing me! I feel like an old lady. On top of getting this challenge in, I'm trying to keep running and started playing in a coed softball league. Holy cow! I have thrown a ball, all out sprint, swung a bat in more than 3 years. Yeesh! My body hates me but I know it's going to totally going to be worth it. :)

    I was thinking the same thing about the 20 minute workouts. :-)

    I'm liking this challenge. The fact we do something different each day keep a person from getting bored. I did NMTZ today to make up for missing day 3. I was finishing up 30DS.

    I did 30DS level 3 today. Today was supposed to be my rest day, but I didn't get to do 30DS level 1 yesterday because of my nephews' birthday party. So I made it up today.
