    I've completed day 2 on level 1. I found that the butt kicks killed my shins - not sure whether I'm doing anything wrong or whether it'll get better as the days go on? Got to day 15 last year before my wedding and I can't remember having this then :huh:

    Anywho-add me if you want!!

    A little confused here:
    Are we suppose to do each level for 10 days? Or until each level get easier?
    When you are done with the 3 levels, lets say in 30 days what's next?

    Oh one more thing, do you exercise more while doing this video? If so how often and for how long?

    I started this 15 days ago, however i have only made it through about 7 days...now there have been a couple of gym days in there as well so i have completely blown it off. i would like to do it a little more regularly so thats my new mission. I just read an interview she recently did and she said the 30 days was a marketing gimmick to sell, that she originally intended the program to be 2 days shred, 1 day cardio, 2 days shred, 1 day rest, 2 days shred, 1 day cardio, etc. i dont have the link but its been in the last week either fox news or cnn.

    im also wondering about the weight size....i started with 5 pounds for the first 4, i have since switched to 3 pounds, but thinking i might use both, 3 pounds for some of them (damn lunges) but the 5lbs for some of the ones that come easier to me (chest fly, etc) anybody else have advice for weight limits?

    Awesome...I literally just finished Day 1 of Level 1. I made it through although I had to take a break on the push-ups and put down the weights in the last circuit. I'm looking forward to improving day-to-day. I'm glad to hear that others are starting about the same time as me.

    i have actually been doing it for 10 days now (10th day was yesterday).
    so far, i have done only level 1 and i have not given any breaks, meaning that i have done it every single day for the past 10 days and even at levet 1, i have already seen the differences in my body, i have started to "shrink" :)
    i am also doing a diet of course (since about a month now).

    yesterday i was curious about level 2 and just wanted to check it out so right after level 1, i went on with level 2. i followed the "beginners" modifications and was able to complete it as well!

    in about half an hour i will do my daily shred routine, this time level 2 :)

    go for it, it's great!

    I just finished Level 1(did 10 days) but did it only Mon-Fri and took the weekends off. However, its not my only exercise. I walk briskly for 2 miles 5 days a week and do 5 days of Zumba as well. I notice my endurance is better and hey, it can't be hurting anything. I like how fast it goes since you are always switching things up and its less than 30 minutes. I am losing weight but thats probaly attributed to my diet and cardio thrown in.

    I am on my 4th day of 30DS. I think it should be longer. But I do like it. Somewhat challenged!

    Just did Level two day 1. Wow, what a difference. I like it though because its challenging. I am not too good and the planking moves but am going to try to improve as I go. I will do it Mon-Fri for two weeks. Its possible I might do it an extra week. We shall see. I definitely feel stronger. I am doing other exercise as well though.

    I started out with weights that were way too heavy for me and had to take the weekend to recover. That being said, I pushed extra hard this morning with my lighter weights and did some Yoga Booty Ballet after to make sure the soreness comes back.

    Anywho, I went from 8 lbs to 5 lbs and I feel awesome and strong today. :) I made it up the 3 flights of stairs to my office a little winded but without having to use the handrail for support (Friday, I was basically dragging myself up the stairs by my arms because of soreness lol).

    Now for a question: Has anyone else using heavier weights experienced the sort of soreness in your knees and thighs that makes walking a fall waiting to happen? Just trying to walk through the parking lot my knees kept locking and giving out alternately (hence taking the WHOLE weekend to rest from working out).

    ellejay. I'm only using 4lb weights (but will use heavier ones for chest fly from now on). I have knee issues at the best of times and was wondering if i could do this program. I've done the first 3 days fairly well. Just remember with your squats and lunges not to have your knee go over the level of your toes, and take it easy. I can't actually do all of the lunges with bicep curls myself. I don't want to overdo it because i know when my knee really plays up i can't do much exercise at all so best to be careful now.

    Did you have knee problems before? Hopefully the lighter weights will help!

    I am knock kneed so I try to focus on keeping my knees in line with my ankles, and I follow the easier modified girl if I start feeling weak, but the only trouble comes later when my muscles are very sore. Is it just a matter of building those muscles up, do you think?
