    I missed yesterday because I had guests drop by and staaaaaay. The lesson I learned is do it in the morning so I don't let 'life' get in the way. Today I went and bought a set of 5 lb weights and did it. It was hard, but I made it. I'm also doing TBL's Cardio Max. I haven't take before pictures. I think I will do that in the morning. Hopefully I will have something wonderful to report at the end of the next 28 days.

    Good job everyone and keep on pushing.


    Awesome! I know what u mean about life getting in the way lol it's very hard!! But you can do it girl!

    I just finished Day 7 of Level 1. I'm getting waaaaaay better and can actually do the push ups now! (the cheat ones but still!) I couldn't do even one pushup on day 1 :happy:

    The first circuit I still find the hardest, it's that skipping rope, it cramps my legs up!



    Well done everyone for starting and continuing, I look forward to hearing about everyone's results on day 30!

    I started 5 days ago, but I am only doing it every other day (made me very sore) So I am technically on day 3.. I've started it before and got too gung ho into it and hurt myself, so hopefully after easing into it for this week I can get on board doing it everyday.. I love it.. But I'm not sure when or if I will go up a level!!!

    Good luck to you all.

    I'm onto the final straight with my challenge group - last workout is Xmas morning!

    I slept awful night before last so I really wanted to make up on sleep today, and ended up staying in bed this morning instead of exercising! I will definitely definitely be doing 30DS right after work! No excuses! :)

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    My abs were sore today but not too bad!! The exercises are getting easier but still a major challenge :) I love the sit ups and flies :)

    I started today! And did it twice!!!
    I'm okay with the side lunges (maybe I'm not doing it right, it just feels like a stretch in straight leg for me), but MY OH MY do my shoulders hurt from the lifts you do during the side lunges.

    What weights are you all using?
    I find that I ideally need different weights. I'm using between 3-4 kilos now, but need some more on some exercises but I can't adjust the weights that quickly. Might have to go and buy some new ones - I like the colourful ones! :)

    How is everyone else going?

    I will be on day 6 tonight. I had to push myself to get the motivation to do day 5 last time. Does that happen to anyone else? When they start a workout they're so excited about it but after a bit of doing it you lose motivation?

    Well I will try level 2 soon and maybe that will help keep me engaged!

    I have definitely been seeing results. I have just been doing 30DS and Yoga Meltdown level 1 on my in between days :) Although i've felt like I could do 30DS without taking a break day I kind of like doing something different in between hehe

    Hi Paeli, yeah I think this happens to each and every one of us. Even happens to Jillian herself. Key is to just do it!

    When is everyone going to progress to level 2? I can do anything (except the push ups, I do them on my knees), and am curious but feel like 'I have to' do level one 10 times.

    Also, has anyone measured how many calories they burn? I used my new heart rate monitor twice and got burns of 133 and 149 calories. I am actually quite disappointed.. Anyone else the same?

    Just completed level 1 Day Ten, on to level 2 tomorrow although I am a bit scared to do it, I hear it's tough!

    Level two, Day one.. DONE

    whew I didn't think I were going to have the guts to do it, but put it on first thing this morning and did it before it gets too hot!


    Am unsure if I will do it tomorrow as it's Christmas Day but in a way I don't want to have a day off as it has been 11 days straight for me! (which is amazing considering I could barely manage a 20 minute (uphill) walk before starting this) and I am pretty sure I will eat my weight in chocolate tomorrow lol


    Keep up the good effort everyone, remember WE CAN DO THIS!!!


    Merry Christmas everyone (and if if anyone wants to add me as a friend, please do as I only have two but I find seeing other people completing their entries really motivates me :D )
