Hi everyone.
I have done 4 days of the programme 30 DS, only another 26 to go. :happy:
I would love to hear other peoples views and stories about how they got on when they did the fitness programme.

I just started this program. I was worried my 5lb hand weights wouldn't be enough and I'd have to buy heavier ones. I've been doing nrolw (just finished level 1) and can squat/deadlift 100 lbs. But those little 5lb-ers kill me! I can't lift my arms anymore by the time she says "Two more to go!" Specifically the squat push press and the side lunge maneuvers. Guess I need to buff up my arms!

Woo! I was sore until day 6 my first time through the 30DS. Then I took a day off, and D7-10 were really swell. L2 proceeded to kick my but again. I love the workouts! I'm now on D4 of my 3rd round through it all.

I burned 242 the first day and 303 the second day according to my hrm. I think the second day was higher because I had just finished a 30 minute run, so my heart rate was already elevated. Or maybe I just put more into it the second time around.

My 2nd attempt this time around. Starting it today. I've been so sick recently.

What did you do to relieve the sore, stiff muscles at the beginning? I'm on day 3 and I can barely manage the stairs. The thought of working out this evening has me nervous. Any suggestions?

I wanted to start today... but carrying the stupid dumbbells home from the store got me totally exhausted

Massage, stretch and protein shakes to repair them

kristy6ward, 5lb weights, I am only using 2.5 lbs and its killing my arms. Ive just come back from a 45 minute aerobic class which focused on alot of arm movements, I could of cried. Will remember tomorrow to do the 30 DS a few hours before my aerobic class and not just before, my arms cant take the pain. :sad:

I WISH I had 2.5 lbs. But the same goes.. don't really want to buy new equipment, will just have to push through. If you're experiencing a lot of pain, maybe take a day off for recovery. It's a 30 day program, but it doesn't have to be completed in 30 days. I've just added it into my rotation to prevent boredom and was seriously surprised at how tough it was.

THIS!

I don't want to buy more weights so I suffer through the 30 Day Shred with the 5 lbs weights. :sad:

I finished day 1 yesterday. It kicked my but while doing it but I actually don't feel too bad this morning. I used 3# weights (and yes those push lunges suck), but I also have 5# and think one I get through the DVD once (full 30 days) I will go another round with the 5# weights.
