    Level 1 Day 5 done! Wasn't really into it to start off with but felt great towards the end. I'm starting to get tired of it though, so I hope I'm physically ready for level 2 within the next few days lol.

    All I can say is I'm shaking lol just finished level one a few mins ago I used my app to count the calories and it says 290 calories burned is that even possible? What does everyone else burn? I couldn't believe how bad I was sweating I'm sure after doing it for a few days I will be able to do it all non stop though but today just kicked my booty. Looking forward to doing it again tomorrow :tongue:

    Just did day 1, level 1. I did have to take some 5 second breaks, and even my dog was worried about me, but I survived!

    Welcome to all the newcomers! :) Hang in there guys, it does get easier! Feel free to add me for support.

    Just finished Day 9 of Level 1. I took my first day off yesterday due to knee pain and twisting my wrist, and since I felt a little better today I decided to give it a shot. I made it through everything so much better after my rest day. I killed all the strength moves, did the butt kicks a little higher, even felt more ab strength. As much as it scares me to say this, I might just be ready to move on to Level 2. Definitely starting to get bored with the repetition of Level 1, that's for sure. I think if my wrist and knees feel up to it tomorrow, I might go ahead and move on. :)

    I used to do Insanity but now that I am back in school I have found that my body can not keep up with those workouts. Has anyone done both and can compare the intensity level? I currently go to the gym 3-4 days/wk for 60-90 min but would love something more consistent. Thanks!

    Also I have somewhat of a restriction with my wrists/elbows (possible pinched nerve? working with the OT and hand surgeon to figure it out). anyway, do you guys think that the exercises are easily modified?

    I haven't done insanity, but I understand from a lot of other posts that most people use the 30 day shred as a stepping stone to start insanity. However, I don't think this program will work well for you given your injury. There are lots of planks, push ups and weight lifting that cause ample stress on your wrists/elbows.

    I just started level 2. It is tough, but I think my body will adjust as it did with level 1. I know you didn't end up doing it tonight, but tomorrow is another day! Good luck!

    If you have a HRM and want to enter exact calories burned, you can enter it as a custom exercise. If you just want an estimate, most of us log it as 20 mins of "circuit training, general".

    Hello all!! I'm in another 30DS group. I started last Wednesday, I think? I'm planning to do Shred four days a week. I'm not doing it on my strength training days at the gym twice a week, and I'm taking a day off. Tonight will be my 4th Day on Level 1. I rested Sunday, did strength training last night (no push-ups on the schedule) so I'm hoping I can do better with the push-ups tonight after a rest! I can make it through the first set pretty well, but the second I was only getting in about 7 (modified).

    Tonight I have a Christmas party after work. Eek! So, when I get home I have to make myself do my DVD.. I'm gonna do it, gonna do it....

    I'm not going to lie - Level 2 is tough but only because I have really weak shoulders and there is a lot of plank. I feel like if my shoulders were tougher, it wouldn't be bad at all. I just did day 4 and it gets better every single day though I definitely dread it more than I ever did level 1. Of course, once I finish, I feel great and accomplished and glad I did it. Also, it is not boring me like level 1 did. Keep at it - it is definitely worth it. You can do it!

    Summer, I will be thoroughly impressed if you are able to do 30 day shred after your Christmas party... as motivated as I am, I don't think that would be happening for me!

    Day 2, Level 2: I woke up this morning and my shoulders and back were SORE!! I hadn't been sore from level 1 since about day 4, so I was happy to know that by moving up I know that I am PUSHING myself once again. I was so sore I wasn't sure how I was going to get through the work out again, and like Julie mentioned... I felt a bit of dread. Not wanting to dread my work out all day I figured I would get it over with... and you know what... I even saw some improvement! On Day 2! But, I think the biggest excitement of the morning was while I was getting changed, I noticed I could see a bit of definition around my hip bones once again. It's been a LONG time since I've seen those bad boys hanging around. I feel like I am rediscovering a younger me underneath this not very old body. And it's looking good!

    I've done the first 2 days...had to take a break today because of pain in my heel, I could barely walk yesterday. Have to check for plantar fascitis. Doctor has me taking 800mg ibuprofen every 6hrs around the clock. It seems to be helping me some today so hoping to do day 3 tomorrow morning or maybe tonight after work. I'm definitely feeling the burn in my thighs though. Keep up the good work everybody!
