    Just did day 4 Level 2..was huffing and puffing by the end of it! I havnt had time too fit in any other cardio today so i feel bad as i have only burnt 173 out of 205! But ill make up for it in the week!

    I also did the Butt bible before my 30ds today, it goes for about 17 mins before cool down. But dont know what too add it as and cant see it burning much calories as its more of a strength workout!

    Does anyone do Butt bible and what do you log it as?

    :)

    Oh wow. Day 5 level 1, did it in front of a mirror wearing pants and a sports bra... My belly jiggled SO MUCH during jumpy moves, haha!

    I will vanquish the jiggle... some day, not TOO far in the future...

    I just started my second day of Butt Bible. I think in this group ( http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/7456-the-butt-bible-group ) some had said they logged in in as circuit training, so that's what I've been doing. I know what you mean though, it definitely doesn't feel like one would be burning as many calories as 30DS... If you figure out a better way to log it, please let me know.

    Morning,

    This has nothing to do with 30DS as I am resting due to my poorly back, just didn't want to give up on you all yet haha! Looks like I may just have to have my rest day at the beach instead.

    Hi Chloe, looks like my beach body has missed for this year s it is starting to cool down here, which gives me till April........

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    Day 7 of level 1 complete. I'm also on day 3 of Butt Bible level 1, and doing a 2.5 mile walk uphill/downhill each day. Definitely feeling like I have more endurance for this now, even though I still curse my way through a couple of parts. I think it helps tremendously to get through the first few days & finally realized that you are capable of pulling through the hard parts.

    I am, however, feeling a bit of it in the knees, so I got myself a calcium supplement today & will be getting a joint supplement as well. I'm planning to attempt to incorporate half of a Richard Simmons video each day as well, as I just don't have time to squeeze in the whole routine with all of the other workout routines.

    Thanks for being such a great source of support ladies!

    @ Chloejaneg: I think I can feel it some. I'm also doing the 2.5 mile walk so I feel a lot of that as well, along with the 30 Day Shred. Together... I can definitely feel my legs turning to rubber, but I have to admit, it's becoming really addicting.

    For the Butt Bible, my hard parts are the fully extended leg lifts & the squats with one leg forward one leg back. My knees are still having a bit of trouble with those, but I picked up some calcium pills & am also looking to get some joint support supplements. I also have to admit, I really actually enjoying listening to her rattle on. She's such a cute, quirky little thing.

    Sounds like you're running a routine very close to my own. I'm about a week behind you on 30DS... I'm hoping you're right about level 2 getting easier, as I'll be finding out for myself how bad it is in 3 days. :p

    Day 9, level 1... check. I read some comments today on another thread that level 2 was something to be afraid of. Moment of truth is just around the corner. :p

    Not something to be afraid of, something to be motivated for and challenged by! Jillian says it best: you have to put stress on your body if you want to force it to change. Easy doesn't get you results!

    Thanks for the reminder. I've been reminding myself all day that if it was easy, I'd be gaining very little from it. It's helped me to change my frame of mind when pushing through the hard parts.

    Hi everyone! You are doing great!
    I just did day 1 of the second level. It is very comforting to read that it does get easier! My face was tomato red by the end of the workout!

    Wouldn't it be more like 10 & 10, since it's a 20 minute dvd & the weights are only in it part of the time?

    Starting day 1 today with my childhood BFF :) We tried to do this one other time but around day 15 we slacked off. We took before pics this time and are trying to stick to 1200-1400 calories for the month as well. Thought it would be fun to take pics as a form of motivation to SEE the results at the end of the month.

    Good luck to everyone on their 30DS.

    Day 1 of level 2. Pure hatred. 9 more days.

    Day 12 (Day 2 of level 2). I'm not going to lie. I still hate this with a passion. Today was the first day I did not eagerly jump out of bed to do my routine, and it was as unenjoyable as yesterday. The planks are kicking my butt royally, and I can hear myself making almost crying noises just trying to get through them. I've fallen to the floor a few times and had to force myself back up, and just laid there when it was over.

    I hope this means that it is royally kicking my body into shape as well.

    ...8 more days. :(
