kmel2479

I do L1 D2 tonight and I now realize workout 1 worked a lot more than I initially thought. Yesterday I wasn't really sore at all, today I got out of bed and my legs were screaming with each step I took! :sad: Can't wait to get to the gym at lunch just to loosen up!! Love the soreness though because it gives me the confidence it is working and I do have muscles underneath this layer of chubby! Yay

I'm soooo tired this morning and having trouble motivating. Somebody PLEASE give me a virtual butt kick! Otherwise I might just sit here all day.

I downloaded the 3 levels of the 30 DS. but im curious, do you do 30 days of EACH level? or do all 3 levels in 30 days?
im thinking its each level for 30 days. but i just want some clarification?

thanks.

I finally got started on Tuesday and it was tough but better than when I first tried it on last Friday. Did Level 1 Day 2 (w/some modifications) on last night and looking forward to doing Day 3 tonight. I think it gets better (easier) by the day.

I have 2 more days on level 1, I started adding weights when I do my punches just to burn some extra calories, its still hard to do the 2nd part of the cardio... whew! I am excited to start level 2 in a couple of days, I have not lost any weight since starting 30DS, but I have lost inches.. I did buy Biggest loser Calorie knockout kickboxing video that I am going to start after the 30DS if anyone else is thinking ahead:)

Love reading everyones posts!!!! Keep up the hard work!!!

day 6 of level one completed, it is really hard but some parts are getting a bit easier, still hate the star jumps/jumping jacks, and the bicycle abs at the end, for some reason its my legs that refuse to co-operate with this exercise. can't see me being ready to progress to level 2 in 4 days, so will prob carry on with level 1 for a bit
i def don't hurt as much as days 2 and 3.

OK. I finally motivated to move today. Done with Level 1, Day 9.

I was really pleased with myself today for getting through everything (except still coming up a few short on those anterior raises toward the end.) Keep up with it, everyone!! I was hardly able to do three pushups on day 1. It does get easier to complete the exercises!!

Push yourselves - you are all awesome!

What is your favorite and most hated exercises in Level 1? My favorite was the chest flies and I loathed the anterior raises with side lunges! (Which I think EVERYONE knows by now :laugh: )

Congratulations on starting level 2! You can do this!
I also distain those awful awful anterior raises - I think my favorite move might be the boxing!

Well, I didn't realize you were supposed to wait until day 10 to do level 2 and did it today, my day 7. I also did level 2 because I had such a bad diet day (tuna melt and ice cream!) and I didn't do any other exercise today. It was tough. Lots of plank involved. I think I'll go back to level 1 tomorrow and do level 2 on day 10 again.

But, I'm excited to weigh myself and measure myself soon! At my brother's suggestion, I've been taking pictures of myself each day to be able to look back and see a difference even if my scale doesn't work with me. Hopefully, the pictures and the scale will show a difference. :happy:

I didn't have time to read through all the posts on here and I'm sure this has been asked already, so sorry.

But I was planning on using youtube to do this workout, and I was wondering how often you are supposed to do it every week?

Day 7 complete :smokin:
Today I started to add the Butt Bible after I finished with 30DS, I heard of great result so I am going to add that to my routine along with the c25k, I hope I can handle all of these together. Luckily the c25k schedule alternates with the Butt Bible.

Day 8 - level 1 of the shred DONE

2 more days and I get to do level 2 SO PUMPED

NSV- can finally do the final sit ups/ tricycle sit up thing with out pausing for a single second!

Today will be day 4 of level 1. Still struggling with some of the exercises, particularly strength. It takes me long enough to get into a squat position without adding weights!
Just jumped on the scales I've lost 2 and a half pounds! A mixture of this and cutting back on calories for the last two weeks.

Very motivated, thanks to this thread for bringing 30DS to my attention :bigsmile:

I too hate anterior raises, my arms cry! Also the skipping but only when it's straight after the jumping jacks, this really really makes my legs want to cramp. I pretty much love the rest though! (as much as a starter loves exercise anyway haha)

This sounds good. I have the 30day shred dvd and I will start on Sunday, 1st July. Hope I can do it, (Keep up with the workout)
By the way I have only joined last night. I am 60 yrs of age and have approx 8kgs to lose. Been having a bit of a read around the forums and everyone is so supportive on here. Really pleased I found this site.

Just started this DVD yesterday. Arms were sore today but powered on and did day 2 this arvo. Took before photos, so am very keen to see a difference at the end. Looking forward to seeing other before and after photos also. Good luck everyone. MORE POWER TO US !!!!!!

Well, I did Level 2 today, it was...... different! Definitely a bit more challenging, but I felt like the moves were a little bit more fun! Definitely more ab work in there this time, some of the moves were a little awkward, like the second strength circuit called pendulum lunges or something. I'm not altogether very coordinated so it took me a few seconds before I felt like I was doing the move properly. Can't wait to hear how you guys are doing and what you think!

Finshed Day 4, level one last night~ in this awful heat! ugh.
Anterior raises with side lunges SUCK! LOL! I like the chest flies the best too. I actually add a little twist of the wrist,so your pinky fingers almost touch when meeting above your chest. Learned that from one of the Biggest Loser DVD's. Just gives that little extra oomph to the chest!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Day three today for me.
I've not done it yet but I hurt so much already from the first two days.

My body says have a rest day but my heart and my head say push through.

best option?

PS
Does anyone else look like some sort of dying animal doing the bicycle crunches?
I roll all over the place!

I think you should go ahead and do it! If you have to modify/simplify the movements here and there, go ahead. But sticking with it will make it more of a routine and that seems important. Even if you do look like a dying animal LOL That cracked me up.
I'm sure i look ridiculous myself.

Go for it!

Well, Day 10 of Level One is complete. I won't be exercising tomorrow (Saturday out of town) so I think I'll redo Day 10 on Sunday and then start LEVEL 2 on Monday. That sounds so scary!!

In other news, I am HORRIFIED that I gained 3 pounds, especially since i started this I have tried to eat exceptionally well. I know, I know, it's just muscle water retention but still I almost screamed when I weighed in this morning. So darn frustrating! Looking forard to seeing that scale go DOWN and meanwhile hoping the tape measure will be a better friend to me.

Be well, good luck with your workouts. Never surrender - Never give up!!!

Thanks

Well done on this.
Keep telling yourself it's water or muscle.
I bet you look more toned already.
I've done three of these and already I can see the effect it's going to have.

:O)

i started it today too. what else should i be doing besides the workout everyday. just 20 imnute of that is a killer as it is.lol. but i have to shred. i do walking everyday.

Sia_33

well done. I started it today and hope results will show soon. let's do this together.

Sia_33

i started today and i hate the one where you bend side ways and lift the weights. i think it comes in the last set of circuit. i only use 1.1 weights but its a killer after a while. and also the bycyle one on the floor. ouch

Sia_33

well done.u've done really well. my problem is tomorrow i will have to wake up before my kids wake up and do the dvd. i don't like an audience when i workout at home.gym is different of course cuz we are all in the same boat. but making time at home with other people around is hard. plus my 8month old baby wakes up regularly over night. so waking up early is hard.
