Any one else struggle with Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred?

Hiya,

I am on day 5 at the moment, really motivated and want to accomplish the full 30 days in a row. Gonna do level 1 for 10 then so on, I have a bit of muscle pain in my calves at the moment tho, think the jumping jacks and skip rope are taking there toll, don't want to hurt myself, but also want to embrace this motivation while I have it as I have a habit of giving up if I don;t stay on a roll. Thanks for the comments regarding water, proper stretching and baths after. I tend to forget to drink water through the day, bad habit, but will increase my intake and hopefully this will help me out.
Quick question?
On days when you have another activity planned (I have a run planned tonight) would you still incude the 30 day shred? or would a 40 min run suffice???
Loving the dvd tho, looking forward to level 2!

Push Ups- Start out with your arms higher up, say a window sill or a counter or couch ect. Keep moving down as you get comfortable. The ones on your knees won't allow you to progress.

Don't just do them when you are doing the video. Do them at random times throughout the day.

I would cry almost doing 30ds the first time. I just picked it up again about three weeks ago and decided it was too easy a few days ago. From crying to it's too easy.

Finish it. Then move on to banish fat boost metabolism and no more trouble zones. Both will continue to kick your butt and give you results.

Just don't quit.

I tried to do it today for the first time and couldn't finish it.

I did the first circuit and couldn't keep up, and then had to stop before she started the second circuit.

Seriously, 13 effing minutes and I feel like I've been hit by a truck.
