    I just started 30DS today too. I can do the cardio fine and stamina is not my issue as such (although I am sweating like a pig!) but wow the weight sections (and the bicycle crunches) killed me. I stupidly decided to do 30 mins of Zumba after and I could barely stand up my thighs were that much like jelly, nevermind dance, lol. Thighs are starting to recover now but my back is taking their place. Hoping if I go have a nice warm shower and keep moving it'll help and I'll be able to get out of bed and do it all again tomorrow. :)

    Not sure how many cals I burnt as my HRM said only 120 but I think it was having issues picking my heart up at the start for some reason. 120 seems a bit low compared to what others are saying though as I know I gave it my all. Assuming I don't end up with my mysterious rash again I'll see what it says tomorrow.

    I'm up to day 2, level 2 & my days it is hard compared to level 1. Just as I was getting used to level 1 & enjoying it, I got thrown into this killer level. I will not quit though I have made it nearly half way & I need to fit into my dress lol. Not lost any weight this week but it hasn't detered me, like I have said before I'm going to judge the shred by inches not weight. How are the rest of you getting on?

    Well done on getting so far! Im on day 5 of level 2 and really enjoying it.

    Just remember that doing weight work you may put weight on as you build muscle. I lost 7lbs in my first week but have lost nothing this week. I have though, in my 15 days of doing it lost 3 inches off my waist, 2 inches off my hips and 1 inch off my thigh so far :-D

    Great loss of inches in 15 days! :) Are you working in another form of exercise with the 30DS?

    I just started my 30 day shred. Last night was my first workout, and it totally kicked my but! My legs are sore today and my arms as well. I didn't realize how out of shape I was until I did that workout. You'd think I just ran a marathon. All that being said, it's awesome that I am actually so looking forward to getting out of work and doing it again tonight! I hope these workouts motivate me to keep pushing and never stop excersing. Good luck to you.

    It burns ~ 225-250 calories, depending on how hard you work and how much your heart rate is jumping! I'm 5'9'' and 173 lbs.

    This is how I know I need a lot of work. When the first ten minutes of 30DS I am dying and can't do anymore! I have been TRYING for days and I can't get through one whole session. I have been very inactive for years and for the first time really in my life I have been pushing myself, evidently It's going to take time. All I can say is I keep trying, pain or no pain.. I'm trying. Bike, Resistance bands, walking, and running, but Jillian sure kills me.. lol.

    as long as you're not bored, I'd stick to level 1 until you can get through it, even just following anita, or do it all but maybe no hand weights . once either of those happens then I'd move to level 2.
    good luck!!!

    I started the 30 Day Shred on May 2nd. I'm still at Level 1. I still have to take some small breaks, but I'm over 50 and was pretty out of shape. I'm considering trying Level 2 tomorrow, but not sure if I should yet considering I can't make it 100% through Level 1 yet. What does everyone else think?

    I am on level 2 day 3- tonight. The first day I did level 2 I thought I was going to die- last night it went much better! I took off 2 days over the weekend because I was out of town visiting my mom- do you think this a problem? Should I continue where I am at or do I have to start over! Any input would be greatly helpful!
    I personally think you should continue where you left off but take it easy as you have had the 2 days off you may feel like you are starting the level over again

    I'm on L2 day 3 (tomorrow morning) - my HRM said I burned 170 calories during L1 and now it says 190 during L2, so it completely depends on the person. I'm 5ft 7 and weigh about 150.

    Day 3, Level 2 for me. It was a killer but I pushed my body to the limits & didn't stop until the last set of ab work for 5 seconds then continued. I actualy felt like my heart was coming out of my chest & the sweat was dripping off me. The soreness in my upper back seems to be fading too :smile:
    I can't wait for day 5 so that I can take my half way measurements to see if I've lost any inches, even though I have lost 6lb since starting the shred, I do not want to focus on weight loss. I know it is all about the inches :wink:

    Hi...I just started 30DS yesterday (Monday) Today will be Day 2...Luckily I did RI30 for 2 whole days before I rec'vd my 30DS so I was sort of prepared but still sore...My hamstrings were alot tighter than I thought but I am ready for Day 2....Thinking of alternating 30DS with RI30 but not sure yet....

    Anyone feel free to add me & we can motivate each other to get through this EVERY DAY!! I know I need to be held accountable for sure b/c I have an issue with commiting to 30days for ANYTHING!! Lol

    Of course, everybody is welcome no matter how far you are into the shred. Even if you have finished the shred, it's about progress & support to help keep us all motivated :smile:
