    LV1 DAY 4 Done for me.. pain in my thighs and calves went away.. seems like the times going by faster each time i do the shred.. the strength part is the killer for me, like the side lunges when raising the weights to the eyes in curcuit 3 and the front lunges with bicep curls in curcuit 2.. killinggg meee -_- but each day i get stronger and notice my stamina getting better and better :)

    Day 3 done. Really didn't want to do it today. Arms were aching and felt tired but glad i did as by the 2nd circuit felt quite energized. Upped my weights again on some of the things but not the side lunges, killers. Tried a proper push up but no chance lol. Might have to practise them outside of doing the dvd

    Just checking in. Level 1 day 4 done. Major improvements from day 1. Hope to continue on tomorrow but don't know how likely that is to happen considering the party today and the beginning of college football. Have several friends and family coming in from out of town as well so don't know if I"ll even have access to the living room to do it. Somebody might just get kicked out of my way. ;)

    Day 3 done. Since this is round 2, going heavier on the weights. I need 20's for the flies, but everything else feels good with the 8's. Slight bored, but I know by the time strength, circuit 2 is done, I'm half way through, and I can just suck it up and get it done. Punching while holding weights, just to really feel my shoulders burn!

    ROCK ON!!! :tongue:

    Decided since this is round 2 for me, I'm going to do 30DS 2x a day every day (taking Fridays off) sorry I didn't check in yesterday, that's why.

    Excited to do it twice tonight! =) Woohoo!

    What's everyone's favorite and least favorite part of Level 1?
    Favorite: Anything on the floor, makes me feel like I'm getting a break (butterflies)
    Least Fav: Side lunges with arm raises - Can't seem to do the arm lifts the whole time with it

    I'm with you on least fave! I just can't do it. I can do the lunges, so I do those the entire time and get in there with the shoulder raises when I can. Not sure if my form is bad or if I'm just really weak.

    Favorite: Crunches, because now that I'm on round 2, I can see a big difference in how my tummy looks while I'm doing them!


    L1D2 - my arms are sore but other than that, not much going on. Definitely easier the second time around. I can keep up with them without pausing for nearly all of the workout. Still got to work on the arm strength.

    D2 and 3 all done. Hate pushups and bicycle crunches. Doing most of it without stopping this time around, which is ace

    My 1st round of 30DS I was burning almost 300 Calories when I'd do Level 1... this time I'm not burning as many. Which I guess is good, because that means I'm getting more fit, but it's still a little sad that I'm not burning as much... Good thing I'm doing this twice a day, makes up for the calories I'm not burning anymore lol

    Favorite: Abs (except for bicycle crunches) & the side lunges with arm raises...for some reason this is one of my favorites :laugh: also the punches! Gets my frustration out!

    Least Favorite: Bicycle Crunches, Jump Rope, Butt Kicks, Jumping Jacks. I really hate having to jump, I have an overly large chest and it hurts to jump constantly if you catch my drift! :laugh:

    Oooooh...I'm a couple of days late but I think I can make them up somewhere in the next 30 days. I've started this so many times and never completed it - so motivated right now to actually do it!

    Okay - day four complete - doing level one as not done before (really did not want to get up and do today so yeah that it is done.)

    Favourite bit - skipping

    Least favourite - jump jacks - hate them with a vengence.

    Can feel that I have exercised - legs and arms - nothing on tum - am I doing something wrong??

    L1D3. I've lost inches and weight, but I've noticed that the only place I'm seeing muscle tone is my thighs. Still nowhere near a six pack or having definition in my arms. I'm hoping by the end of this round I'm at least seeing a little definition. Granted, this is the first year I've intentionally done a workout in my life, so maybe that's why! :tongue:

    I have to admit, I'm finding my thighs kind of "hot"!!! :explode:

    ROCK ON!!! :tongue:
