So, I'm a day behind, but just finished. JM is crazy motivating. I love that someone is finally calling bull**** on the just "take the stairs" thing.0

Just done my first session and god did that make me feel sick lol, really am hoping it gets easier!!0

I felt sick too, good to know it's not just me!0

Ah that's good to know, I was wondering if I had done something wrong lol. Hope I don't feel like it every time as I've got two little ones on school holidays that need entertaining too this week. It was quite funny as they we're trying to do it with me lol.0 -
i took my before shots but didnt bother to measure for me the proof will be in how my trousers fit me i am not gonna post my pics tho purely for me lol but i thought a really motivating idea for me will be to take another lot of shots when i start level 2 then again when i start level 3 and then finally finish to really see the progression i thought would be a real motivator
Same here! I'm trying to break myself out of the focus on numbers, relying more on how I look and feel.
And YES, Day 1 was borderline self-abuse for me.
I've taken too much time off because of personal reasons and INSANE soreness in my thighs, but I want to start it up again either tonight or tomorrow morning for Day 2. I just hate explaining to my trainer at the gym that I can hardly move because I was doing what Jillian told me, haha. 0 -
Day one under my belt and yes....it kicked my butt! But I am motivated and ready for day 2!!!!! I measured and took pics too!0

Just did my first workout to 30DS! Holy crap! I thought I was getting more in shape - this just put me in my place!!! Can't wait till this is easy - that means I'm doing something right! Love this group! It's so comforting knowing that I'm not the only one struggling.
Did anyone else get pains in their feet - or was that just me? It made the jumping jacks harder. Might just be me and my stupid flat feet :-( Good luck everyone!!0 -
I am on Level 2, Day 3 of the shred, it does get easier, I promise!! I'm almost 50 and way out of shape but I have been pushing myself through it! I do a lot of modified moves, the jumping jacks and jump ropes about killed me, I would jog in place half-way through but it did get better by the end of level 1. Just have to keep moving!
I have done it every day no matter how sore I was (my poor leg still aches and aches!), by day 4, it was much easier! I'm afraid I won't be able to do it tonight, boss is coming in town, hate to mess up this 12 day roll but if I miss today, I'll get back to it tomorrow. Think the results will be worth it!!
If this old lady can do it, you can too! Keep up the good work!! :happy:0 -
Anyone incorporation any other exercises in with the 30DS? Like Zumba?
My typical week:
Day 1: 30DS
Day 2: 30DS
Day 3: Cardio workout at gym
Day 4: 30DS <--- I'm here right now
Day 5: 30DS
Day 6: Cardio workout at gym
Day 7: Rest
I can't recall where I read it but someone mentioned that Gillian recommends doing a cardio workout every couple of days while you are doing the 30DS.0 -
Today was day three, and I did it with only two breaks (due to my little sister almost dropping her box of building blocks on my head when I was doing one of the abs sections, haha!) I sweat a lot more today, but I definitely feel stronger and did the entire cardio circuit without a break, I was so proud. Only 27 days left. (:0

I had pain at the balls of my feet and at the toes from all those jumping jacks, yeah.
I don't have flat feet, really, but I think my shoes just weren't right for those exercises... They were just your average walking sneakers. I've since purchased actual crosstrainers with insoles and broken them in at the gym, so I'm hoping to see a noticeable difference. 0 -
I started the 30DS a day late, due to a death in the family...Just completed Day 1 & I hate to admit this...I could barely keep up with the jumping jacks and the jump rope. Jillian would have killed me, if she was in my living room.
I also had to do the modified push-ups. I haven't EVER done a real push-up.
Glad to see that I am not alone in this journey. Great job everyone!!!0 -
Oh, and I also measured & took pics ((which were depressing to see!!!))0

Don't be disheartened if you do not see results on the weight scale. I haven't lost a single kg but my measurements have gotten smaller, I feel smaller and my energy levels are at an all time high.0
