    Ugh, I was feeling so good about my progress on the girly push-ups (12 per set). But I just found out that your hands are supposed to be at your chest, and I had mine placed by my head. I was only able to do 4 of them in the correct form. I wonder if it's better to do less in good form (well girly style) or more in truely wimpy girly style?

    Day 6 done!
    I moved up to some 5 pound weights for most of the strength moves. I did a total of 18 girly pushups, but now I'm wondering about how my position is. Good luck everyone and keep up the good work!

    Keep with whatever is challenging for you. Everyone has a limit for how far they can push themselves, and we each try to do a little further each time. Pushups are a lot if you're muscles aren't used to that kind of workout. If you can only manage to do four keep with that then each time add one more. I find that when it gets to the point where I feel like I'll collapse if I do any more I'll push an extra one in. That wall is getting further and further back.

    I missed my 30DS yesterday so tonight I did L1D10 AND L2D1! OMG was tough but I feel great. Cant wait to get stronger on level 2. I really had to do a lot of the modifications. IDK if it was becouse I was a little wore out from my day and I had already done day 10 of level 1 but I really wimped thru it and was still dripping sweat at the end. Anyone who isnt on level 2 yet. You are going to enjoy it. I cant wait to do it again tomorrow!

    L1D6 done :D I had my 4yo son joining in with me today, he was using 2 lego duplo blocks as weights. The sight of him trying to do star jumps was hilarious, more like just jumping around randomly like a loon, waving his arms in the air :laugh:

    I think I have some changes taking place, waiting till day 10 to take measurements however. Then I'm contiuing level 1 for 3 more days. Just because I have my work tactical course on the 10th and I'm afraid that I won't be able to run and shoot if I move onto Level 2. Congrats on your results!

    I've had to take a couple of days off, gutted :( I injured my neck (I have cervical spondylosis) by pushing it too far with this workout ... feels a lot better now though, so back on track tomorrow, not gonna overdo it again..... day 5.

    I'd say try replacing the push ups with something else like the chest flies or something. Much easier on the shoulders x

    I'm itching for something else to add to this each day now, never thought I'd get to that point so soon.

    I remember last time I started C25K, I got fidgety if I missed a day, I'm getting the same way now, but within the same day! I was going to add C25K back in, but I'm a bit worried that when 30DS steps up a level it'll be beyond me to do both in one day, so I think I might add in a bit of Wii Fit every other evening or something.

    ok pendulum lunges. I cant seem to do them with out either looking ridiculous, half assed or falling down. I dont feel like it is effective bcuz I cant figure out how to do them right. Any advice from anyone else who is in level 2 or higher?
