30DS

Today was day 3, level one for me. I started off taking a lot of breaks but today was better. Even though my body was sore all over, i still pushed through. Day 1 is usually heartbreaking but you will realize that it keeps getting better. I'm only on day 3 and I feel like it is getting more do-able, not easier though. Goodluck!

Today I finished day 10 of level 2, its been amazing so far I feel so much stronger than before. For only 25 min its a good workout. I'm, not quite ready to post pictures but I will in another 10 days (12 since I don't do it on Sundays) I have lost 4 lbs and gone down a pant size already. It really is as good as the hype says, you should definitely try it. I got the disk for 9 bucks at walmart so its a good price for the quality as well.

If you want to lose inches it is great. I only lost like 4 pounds doing it, but I lost over 10 inches total, and I stuck with the "easy" version. I am going to do it again, and do the "hard" version. It is actually fun, even if you don't like Jillian, because I have never cared for her, but her workouts do the trick.

I just finished doing 30DS in July. This was the first time I really got into a routine of exercising again after a rather tough pregnancy so I followed most of the modified moves. I'm now doing it again along with two of JMs other DVDs and have found that I can stay with the more advanced moves for most exercises. 30DS is great for inches, strength, and endurance. These are my results.

I could have written your OP! I'm very near my goal weight, but I need to reduce my body fat % and tone. I started the 30DS last Sunday, so I've made it through 6 days of level 1. Today will be day 7. I've definitely noticed an increase in endurance and strength, the exercises are getting easier and I'm pushing myself harder to keep the intensity up. I've been using cans from the pantry in place of weights because I haven't been able to get to the store and buy some weights, but I'm going to rectify that today.

No after pictures yet but I took some before pictures and measurements, so I'll have before/afters to share when I'm done. I was planning to build in a couple of rest days a week but I decided to push through and get the fastest results. I'm nervous about starting level 2 in a couple of days, I hear it's killer.

Once I get though this routine, I'm going to go up to maintenance calories and start lifting weights to build muscle and hopefully get the definition I'm really looking for. But I think the 30DS will get me well on my way.
