    Last time I did the dvd, I did ALL of those side lunges with the eye-level raises, but MAN, my arms were burning. Today I couldn't do them all. My arms were still sore.

    I alternate my days with jogging ( 3.17miles) and do Jillian Micheals 6-week abs, witht he 30 day shred. Hope that helps. No one was specific, on whether they wanted us to do it everyday .

    I took my measurements last night. I should have done it before I started the program, but I couldn't find my measuring tape. I do not think I can rely solely on the number on the scale to determine my progress. There had been countless times when it said I gained 3 pounds, only to lose them again the following week and then some.

    I'm going to forgo todays workout and make it my rest day. It's not always good to work the same muscle groups every day. I will avoid overworking them by alternating my days with light cardio. I just have to find one that I like. Leslie Sansone WATP is becoming a chore to do since the pacing is too slow for my liking. I don’t break a sweat doing her workouts anymore.

    I started the 30 Day Shred on Wednesday August 8. I am a stay at home Mom of 4. I have an almost 4year old and 2year old triplets. They all think its great to sit on the couch and watch me do it in the morning while they are patiently waiting for their breakfast. I have started it before but for one reason or another or maybe it's one excuse or another I stopped. I am really hoping to stick to it this time. However, I finished Level 1 Day 2 today and I am SOOOO sore....like can hardley sit down sore!! I am hoping that I am going to feel OK in the morning to get through Day 3. Feel free to add me.

    PS....I added it as Circuit Training under the Cardio tab.

    @ Vemapris

    I was sore on day 3 to 5 and then the soreness started to diminish. I see it as a good sign since being sore allover is hardly any fun. It’ll probably start again when I proceed to Level 2 and I'm not looking forward to it!

    I am on day 10, I have been doing a rotation of level 1,2,& 3. I would consider myself fit but flabby. Now at day 10 I am more on the fit side, especially upper body. Here is some raw truth, I feel like this is the first time I have consistently exercised and not lost my chest. Not sure why but usually at this point I am starting to worry about that issue. I have not lost a pound, but my legs are bigger, my shoulders are looking strong and I am starting to get some cut in my arms. I run and do other stuff all the time this is just a step up, but it is working.

    Today will be day 4 for me. I took wendseday off because the arches of my feet hurt so bad. I cant wait to get new shoes. I might try barefoot today, as some have advised, but I have all hardwood floors, dont know how that will work. But anything has to feel better than these crappy shoes. My arms and theighs are a little sore, but my feet actually hurt!

    I did 3 days so far :) I'm on Day 4, but I might make this a rest day. Idunno. Feel free to add<3

    For a little inspiration- Yesterday, after only 3 days, I noticed my armpit area getting toned already and also from drinking 8 cups a day for the same amount of time My hands got thinner and I lost 2 inches on my waist :) I can't wait for day 30!

    >_< I did the 1st day barefoot and it gave my calves cramps soooo bad I had to stop in my tracks and cringe and wait for it to go away before I can walk, do jumping jacks, or do the butt kick things. was bad u.u;

    I'm on day 11, going to start Level 2 later this afternoon. I just tried to order Body Revolution so I can start that in September. Unfortunately, because I'm not in the US or Canada I couldn't order it. My heart broke.

    I made it through 3 days, then took 2 days of rest. I didn't need it, but mum keeps making plans for me :laugh:
    Going back to try it again today, but I'm calling it Day 3 again.

    And I can't believe it, but I miss the whole "so sore I think I'm dying" feeling that you have after a good workout

    Finished day 11, I am going on a cruise tomorrow (I know poor me!) Taking the old ball and chain Jillian with me. I have made it this far and I will keep it going, I think just being able to do it for 30 days will be a real accomplishment. Today I did level 2 which I have been rotating the three workout to avoid the boredom. Workout 2 was easier today, I use 8lb weights so I rarely make it through all the way but today I was really close. I am having a bit of leg pain on the knee, so I do some modifying, I think it is just repetition causing the soreness. Best of luck to all next week!
