:laugh: I didn't notice that you were the OP, just kinda skimmed through the thread!! You got this, Ashley!0

I started it and could not finish, but by the fourth day I managed to finish (not using weights). It's more about trying than finishing, at least for the first few days.0

Honey, the first EVER time I tried to exercise wasn't 30 DS, it was 10 repetitions of this: hands up in the air, bend over forward to touch toes, 10 repetition of easiest ab exercises in the world and 10 repetitions of leg exercises on my mat (laying on my hip, lifting 1 leg in the air 10 times, then other leg).
I had muscle pain foe 3 DAYS! Couldn't move... but I repeated that and again and again..... them moved to something challenging... and got to 30 DS. I wanted to die the first time! And the next. and the next! I took 2 days break and continued. Things got easier and results were visible!
Just don't quit, ok? :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
p.s. I think her Body revolution is much easier, especially since you are overweight, but the exercises are like in 30 DS only modified. If it's hard for you to use weights, start without them. Simplify moves as much as you can. Then go with 1pound weights.
Don't jog, march in place. Don't worry if you can't even do a beginner pushup, neither could I and I wasn't overweight when I tried. Just try once, and next time try again.
Take breaks - 5-10 seconds as much as you need. No one expects you to be an athlete, you're not competing with anyone. You are just trying to do as best as you can.
She has a line she repeats (jillian) : Just give me EVERYTHING you've got. On some days you'll do better, on others not so much, but it's about you!!
Don't do it every day, have a rest day in between. You'll be fresh next time.
GOOD LUCK!0 -
Start today. Don't wait til March 1st.
30 DS is designed so that most people can do it. It has one model doing the moves with adaptations for beginners and the other model does the more advanced moves.
Take a few breaks if you need to, and the 24 minutes will be over before you know it!
^^^ this
and also I read somewhere that it wasn't intended for people to do the 30 days straight with no rest days in between (just wondering, with a 1st of march start date, if you were planning to do the whole lot in march.,... if that's the case it might be better to start now and schedule in some rest days, you'll be finished before the end of march)0 -
I've just finished 30DS (with rest days every so often), and lost my back fat - take pictures before you start!! I had to modify quite a few moves because I only have a confined space to workout in - I don't think it affected the good results. It can be tough on your knees, so take care with some of the moves, watch/listen to the instructions carefully. No weights at the start is good (that's how I finished the first couple of workouts), add in and challenge yourself when you feel ready - don't go all out, overdo it and then give up. Perhaps watch each level fully before you have a go at it - you can prepare yourself then. Good luck!0

30 DS starting MARCH 1. V cud start together.0

i was going to start yeaterday and decided i would wait til march too.
after reading this im wondering if it was just a delaying tactic as im stupidly scared to start.
I WILL do this tonight as soon as the kids are in bed
(no thats not just another put off, no way can i focus on that with a 2 and 5 year old running round) lol0 -

Before I started I had a date in mind, because I was getting over a cold/cough/sore throat. Then I started looking at more success photos and got impatient waiting for the date, so started anyway. I've now started level 3 and wondering what programme to move onto when i'm finished! Probably going to choose another HIIT of Jillian's
Just start. Don't delay!0 -

i think your right the more pics i look at the more i want to have some of my own!!!
how are you finding it so far0 -
I am going to be starting again in the next day or two. I tried it once a year or two ago and gave up after the first day. I wasn't as determined then as I am now though. If you want you can add me and we can encourage each other through it. I am very overweight as well so I know hoe nerve racking it can be to start a new exercise but dang it I want some good results like I have seen all these other people getting with it. So I determined to stick to it.0

If anything one of the best ones to start with is the 30DS!
I started with 30DS and it has completely changed my life now I am 5 months on from when I did it. It transformed my views on exercise and being fit, motivated me and was the first exercise DVD I had stuck out all the way to the end. Now, I work out 6 days a week, have lost 3 dress sizes, eat healthier and am so close to my goal I can smell it!
I didn't even have a goal with I started 30DS, so that's how far I have come because that was my first stepping stone.
Do it. Stick at it. You wont regret it!0 -
this thread made me get off my lazy butt and do it. I just completed day 1. I couldn't fully do the bicycle ab workout, but pretty much everything else. I do quite a few of the moves in my Pulse (like zumba) class, especially jumping jacks, squats, lunges, and punches. The ab stuff got me. Firstly because my floor is hard and I don't have a mat. I was pouring sweat after, but I feel good so far. I used cans of fruit for weights since I don't have any. I took pics before I started, and plan on trying to measure later today.0

Well, you'll never get in shape unless you do SOMETHING, right? Just do it. It's not long, and you can take breaks as you need them. Then do it again the next day. After a few days, you will start to realize that you need fewer and fewer breaks...0

Give it a try!
I'll be the first to admit when I first started it was horrible. I couldn't walk the next day because my body was in so much pain.. It really does get easier as you go on.
Sometimes if the movement is too tough or I find myself in too much pain I job in place instead.
Goodluck!0 -
I can do some of Shaun T's rockin body workouts. Those r fairly easy.0

Hi! I just started MFP this month and started 30 day about 10 days ago....I hurt tremendously after the first day but then...hey! after day 3...easy!!!!! (OK, maybe not easy but I could do it) Just do it as Nike says :-) Why wait???? I can already see a diference in how my clothes fit :-) Oh, and wear a supportive bra :-)0

I am going to start 40DS, was going to wait until 1st march too but may start tomorrow, sooner the better right? Heard a lot of good things about it...
Feel free to add me! Only just started working out again after having baby 15 weeks ago (there's only so long I can use this excuse for!!!) x0
