Another day complete for me !!
Level 1, Day 2 ~ DONE !!! :bigsmile:
I decided that Iam going to do 2 days on, 1 day of rest then repeat. I am pretty sure that 30 Days STRAIGHT will do me in and I will lose momentum and give up. I don't want that to happen.
What are YOU doing ? are you aiming for 30 Days straight or mixing it up by taking a rest day every now and then ??
I know I won't be able to do 30 days straight. I am aiming for at least one Jillian-less day a week, which will most likely be my weekday off from work. I'll give my body rest if it needs it though, or do something a little less intense.0 -
Karibear, what HRM do you use?
I really want one but i don't really want to spend a fortune on one (I'm a poor, lowly student :P)
BTW, Level 1, Day 2 is complete.0 -
Two days in and my stomach is groaning (I can't cough or laugh without grimacing, those bicycle crunches certainly work!), as well as that wee muscle in my underarm from the press ups. Ooft. Tomorrow's going to hurt, but I know if I can suck it up, then even by day 7 I'll notice a huge difference.
Taking my measurements tomorrow (I'll post in progress) and have taken my 'before' pics, which are utterly awful, but hopefully will make me feel great once I put those 'after' pics up next to them!
Just want to say a huge well done to everyone, it's inspiring to see everyone's chat on here, as well as the updates in the news feed.
Keep up the good work all!

Oh my Day 2 down! The burn feels good - I thought it was a little easier but the pushup's KILLED me! I was a little tired tonight doing day2 - I guess softball practice for an hour and a half and then a game for an hour before doing shred isn't the best idea but my daughter and I have vouched to do this around 9pm every night - I am going to do it straight and not take a day off unless I absolutely have to!
Tomorrow is another busy day for me - I am going to try to do Hip Hop Hustle at lunch time, then I have a softball game and then day 3!
I am proud of everyone for getting though Day 2 ~ WE REALLY DO GOT THIS!!0 -
Day 2 done!0
-
Rest day for me, back on it tomorrow 0

Day 3 completed for me today - it's starting to feel a little bit easier (just a little, mind you!) Good luck for today, everyone! x0

Hi, I am using 6.5 lb weights but not sure what Jillian and her ladies are using. I think you should just use what is comfortable for you

Day three was difficult after working 9 hours but I did it and didn't go easy on my self!! The push-ups were dreadful and my biceps are soooo sore this morning! Going to do day 4 early today since I don't have to work just to get it out of the way! Good job girls 0

Level one day 2 is complete..... Best wishes everyone0

Today was day 5 of the level one 30 day shred! I have to say I did s0o much better today than I did the first 4 days.. The 1st 4 days were the hardest, but I took one rest day (yesterday) and today there was no pain or aches and i only took maybe 3 or the 5 second breaks (push ups im horrible at it)... I can feel the difference.. Make sure you take 1 rest day a week, because after reading up if you dont rest your body you have a chance of tearing something in your muscles, and my body needed that one rest day and I feel amazing and brand new today after i did my work out!0

Here's my start with the 30DS so far...
Saturday - Day 1. OUCH! Immediately followed up with swimming, tubing and drinking at a family reunion on a lake. Immediately followed up with dancing at a club and more drinking with a friend all night.
Sunday - OUCH!!!!! Can't move. Didn't get enough sleep. Definitely overdid it the day before. So I skip any workout.
Monday - Still really sore but I force myself to do it before work. I only had time for 15 minutes though.
So, I'm off to a slow start and it sucks. I'm going to add a day or two to level 1 to make up for it. I can't believe how out of shape I am.

bumping, would really love input on this!Question for you all....how do we count it in our exercise tracker? Does anyone know?
I just created my own entry under "my exercise" under the exercise tab and called it jillians 30 day shred - level 1 - i then use the calories from my HRM0 -
Day 3 on Level 1 complete.
Dare I say I felt that I had more stamina today? The push-ups and the bicycle still KILL me but for the most part I feel a little better about it - don't get me wrong - I don't think this is easy.....but "Results don't come for free!" LOL!
Oh....I took my measurements this morning before my workout....YIKES....you know how people are described as either "pear" or "apple" shaped? Well............is there a "beach ball" category???
Seriously, ouch.0 -

Thank you for this - I am going to get an HRM and do the same 0 -
Just finished Day 1. Burned 190 cals. Wasnt too bad, struggle with the last strenghing exercise of the side lunges and lateral lift.0

Level 1 day 3 of 30 Day Shred complete! I'm very sweaty, and verging on the purple end of the red-face spectrum, but feeling GOOOD (Now that it's finished anyway, there are a few points where I feel more inclined to swear during the workout, but it's all worth it in the end!)
A week today and we'll all be on level 2, not long at all!
Keep up the good work ladies (edit: and of course any gents as well 
) 0 -
Completed day 7 today and i believe it was easier to get through than the previous ones. My right foot hurt so much though i had to rest and re-did my shoe. And it still hurt.
as soon as i removed it, i was fine. I'll try stretching beforethe warm-up. With extra attention to my ankles and calves. 0 -
I just completed day 8 of this level 2 more days left thx god. Cuz TOM came for a visit last nite. I'm not goin to let that stop me with my workouts or diet.0
-
The push ups are the most difficult for me too!! Ouchy.. Today was my 4th day and I was much stronger on everything too.. Good job 0

Day 1 Level one finished. I totally forgot how much I hate the sound of Jillian's voice!0

I went to start Day 1 Level 1 of 30DS this morning, and couldn't find the DVD! I probably hid it from myself the last time I got crazy enough to try Jillian! So I guess I am doing Ripped in 30 instead.
Day 1 Level 1 over. I almost gave up, but I didn't, so yay me! My seven year old son cheered me on, so I made it through. It's nice having a cheerleader!
I'm already bracing myself for tomorrow...0 -

Well done! Remember you can get the 30 Day Shred workouts on YouTube as well - just search Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Level 1 and it pops right up
Love that you have a cheerleader! Bless his wee socks!
Best of luck - the first few days are always the worst, but we're all gonna do it 0 -
L1D3 in the books. I took less breaks today, and feel really confident about it.0
