    Okay, just managed Day 1 level 1 - it wasn't horrendous! I did get sweaty and out of breath though, so it does something, due to back problem I couldnt do reverse crunch section but just did extra normal crunches, and I got a bit of a stitch with the first round of jumping jacks, but it soon went. Looking forward to getting better and having a bigger range of movement.

    My first day was...easy! I might be doing something wrong of maybe because I have been doing Jillians BFBM and that dvd is killer and twice as long. I think I am going to switch between the two. Do I track the calories under circuit training?

    I'm new to this, but I would track all exercise calories. Gotta keep eating to prevent "starvation mode". Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.

    I'm currently doing the 30ds. Because I didn't buy it I wasn't exactly sure in what order to do things. (using exercise on demand) After reading some blogs and posts about it I've decided to do each of the programs like a ladder....day 1, day 2, day 3, day 2, day 1, day 2, day 3 and so on. Before beginning this I just finished Beachbody's Insanity program so going down to a half hour seemed like a little break and I truly enjoy each of Jillian's workouts. I tend to get bored doing the same thing each day so this method seems to work for my motivation as well. If anyone has any advice around the way I'm doing it, I'm open to hearing how you are completing the 30 days. I'm on day 8 and enjoying it so far. Good luck everyone!

    This was supposed to be my day 3 of level 1 but I'm so tired, hungry and weak :(
    It's midnight here where I'm at.. So I think I'm going to sleep.

    If I do it twice tomorrow, can I count it as I did it today?

    I Hear alot of the back pain problems.
    My dance coach found a solution that worked for a couple girls on my team.
    When you lay down to do the reverse crunch, rest your lower back on your hands(or a pillow if you need more cushioning)
    Just a suggestions. It might not work for everyone.

    I might try the cushion tomorrow, really I think its cos my cores not strong enough and thats affecting my back though. I just need to build my strength up I guess. Sometimes the slightest jerk in the wrong direction has me hobbling about for hours if not longer. Thanks for the suggestions, I shall see how tomorrow goes :)

    Alright I just finished my day 1 workout - I look forward to this getting easier. I was fine with the cardio and abs, but the weights and push-ups almost killed me - I definitely have weak arms. How many lbs of weight is everyone using? I'm wondering if I should get lighter weights.

    Do you have to switch up and do the 3workouts in 3 days? Today was my 3rd time trying level 1 (not consecutive days in a row) and it kicks my butt. I am really out of shape. I was thinking I would do one level for a week or so and then move to the next. I am going to Rome in 3 months and I want to lose 2 pants sizes by then. I think I can do it with 30ds and some extra cardio and tracking my calories.
