Tip for everyone, do not go cycling uphill for 30 minutes and then do 30DS, not a good combination! Got through it but thought I was going to die:noway:
One more day of level 1 and I am moving on to level 2, have to change the routine....
I feel ya X2- First off- yea- what she said- do not do a mountain of cardio and then shred- oy vey that hurt this weekend.
And- Im losing motivation I hate to admit. I have a DVD or 2 that I swear is better then Shred, (same circuit concept) plus 10 days not switching up is way too boring.
I really really wanted to do THIRTY DAYS- 10 each level, but I better move on to lvl 2 or else I may quit out due to how bored I am. I wouldnt quit working out of course- I just wanted to see/feel more by day 8. :ohwell:0 -
I'm starting to get a little un-motivated myself, but I did get through Day 8 tonight. I'm not thinking of going to level 2 yet because I know my body just isn't ready. I still can't do those anterior arm raises :grumble:
I did my first day of C25K today, so my legs were already sore/tired from that. I didn't get up a shred this AM, like I normally do (told you I'm losing motivation!), but I did manage to get through it.
I guess I keep telling myself- it's only 20 minutes. What else do I spend 20 minutes doing that sucks? Channel surfing, driving to work, perusing pinterest (totally fun, but not generally productive), watching Family Guy on Netflix.... I am looking forward to moving on to Level 2- I haven't peeked yet, so I don't know what JM has in store for me.
I was thinking today, while I was shredding about how much better I am doing versus Day 1. I've upped my weights for some of the moves- anything using biceps get 5lbs now, and I'm able to do the crunches without modification. Push-ups are still awful, but I can do more of them (still modified). I can kick my own butt
and am able to stretch a little deeper, even though I still stand up to do the cool down stretch. I can feel my abs changing- I can feel ab muscles that I didn't know I had! I am tougher than I realized and even though it's getting a little... repetitive... I am still hanging in there!! I noticed when I ran today that my recovery was faster and I didn't tire out as much as I did the first couple of times I tried C25K, so maybe 30DS is helping me build endurance for that too!! 0 -
day 8 lv.1 done!!!!! was starting to get unmotivated too but then I lost my pants doing the jumping jacks...I mean to the floor around the ankles!!!!:laugh: so that means I have lost inches even though I didn't notice and thought nothing was happening. awesome way to end the day:bigsmile I was glad I workout by myself though:laugh: Keep it up ladies!!0

Day 5 done, I had a day off on Sunday. Now determined to keep going and do it each day. I do feel better at the end but the cycle raises are still tough and so tempted to stop but so far got through it.
I had been on a weight plateau for 2 weeks and finally it is starting to shift again.0 -
Day 8 Level 1 done. 2 more days left...feeling sore in my legs today...not sure why. I was super tired this morning so the workout felt harder then it has in the past. I still was able to do 3 regular push-ups. I will keep at it.
Nice progress with the regular push ups! That is one of the hardest moves I can think of, so I think it's a BIG deal when you can do them.
Thank you, I wish I had someone there to watch me just to make sure I am doing it 100% but I know at the start of 30DS I couldn't even attempt a regular push up so I am making some progress.0 -
Level 1 day 9 complete. As others say I am feeling unmotivated, well I think it is bored more then unmotivated....I still hate side lunges with the raises and all the dang jumping jacks but I am still doing it every morning. I keep telling myself NO EXCUSES. It is so much easier to play on facebook for 25 minutes but facebook isn't going to change my body. We have to keep pushing through! For anyone on level 2 can you offer me any suggestions/help/pointers?0

Day 8 Lvl 1 done !
I have also joined those of us who are experiencing great progress in push ups. On day 1 I really struggled with any push ups on my knees and think I got to about 10 in each set, by day 5 I was able to do 15 and today I was able to do 5 on my toes.
Also my muscle percentage went from 27 to 30 last week 0 -

level 1 Day 2 done.YAY!
I know its only day 2 but I'm very proud of myself for doing this today, I had a list of excuses in my head not to but ignored those
It was a rough night in our house last night
Bad storms kept me up till1am, same storm set house alarm off at 2:30am, thunder knocked out power around 3:15, woke up hubby, baby, dogs & me kept us all up until 4:15, then hubbys alarm went of at 5:30.
I'm having dinner with family from out of town tonight so I knew i wouldn't be doing it after that.
Amazed at how much I loath Jillian through the 1st circuit but love the rest of the workout.0 -
Today was day 10 of level 1 and I am off to level 2. Today, believe it or not was the hardest of all 10 days for me. I couldn't get my *kitten* out of bed this morning and when I did I was pressed for time. I said if I was late to work it was my own fault, but luckily I got the work-out in, got ready for work and out the door on time! I am incredibly nervous for level 2. I will sneak a peak at work today. My legs are sore, but I think it is from my workout last night vs 30DS or maybe a combination of both.
Question anyone else use a HRM for this work-out? I used mine for the 1st 2 days of level one and with the same readings I no longer used it. Wondering if I should use it for level 2 or if it is about the same?0 -
Day 10 of level 1 DONE!! Look out Level 2 here I come!0
