    2 days in :) I went for a run this morning as well and then did the shred afterwards which definitely made it harder/more exhausting but feeling good! It's spring in Australia so getting up early in the morning to exercise is so much easier and actually quite a nice way to start the day.

    I've done the shred once before and level one quite a few times (although not for ages). Soon you'll not only know the order of the exercises but you'll be able to quote Jillian word for word. I actually find it quite fun talking along with her :)

    Day two done! I hurt! lol Walking up and down the stairs is the worst. I still need to go for my walk tonight. I usually do it in the morning but today I had to take my driver's test (were in Germany now!), so I wasn't able to get it done yet. I don't like listening to Jillian because 1) I swear she goes on and on about the exercise and completely forgets how long we've been doing it; 2) I prefer to listen to my own music. I pretty much know the entire routine having done it in the past, so I just blast my music and knock it out. :) Happy Tuesday, everyone!

    I feel the exact same way - she goes on and on, and it feels like your doing it for an eternity!!!

    Day two done here too! Playing music over Jillian is a great idea; I will have to try.

    I did it this morning at 6:30 before I came to work. I think that time works best for me. I'm also do the 100 pushups and 200 squats challenge so today I'm sore. I have to run 3 miles this evening. I should be nice and fit by the end of this program if I stick to it and watch my diet.

    Day 2 is done! I had a 20 min jog this morning to do first, so my calves were a bit tight. I do feel it in my abs too.

    YES, I highly recommend muting JM and playing music. By Level 3 you will be ready to throw something at the TV! :laugh:

    It is good to see everyone kicking tail!

    Finished day two, I think that's as far as I've ever gone. I just get annoyed by Jillian, her "I'd kill for those abs" statement makes me want to vomit a little. ;)

    Last night I muted her and followed along to music playing and went by so much faster!

    Day two completed!

    I feel great. Yesterday I started C25k also, and I was so sad that today was a rest day.
    I printed off a calendar to hang on my wall and every time I complete the workout I put a smiley face over that day. If anyone is interested in the calendar I have the link here:

    Day two Done! I thought it was just me about how Jillian goes on and on! Hopefully I will get my 10,000 steps in today and ride my bike.

    Mariah I would like the link for the calendar. I was trying to find that and couldn't. Thanks so much

    Woo hoo day two is done. My leg where just a little sore this morning but nothing bad. For me, the first set in the circuit seem the hardest.

    Great jobs everyone. Bring it on....

    Day 2 is done. Today was much better. I dropped the amount of weight I was using today from 3 lb weights to 1.5 lb weights. I know it's not a lot of weight but I was able to do all the strenght moves today without any breaks. The jumping jacks are what gets me. I'm not sure why they are worse than anything else but to me they are. I agree that Circuit 1 is the hardest.

    i am DREADING doing day 2 - throughout the day my muscles are getting more and more sore... I started with 3 lb weights yesterday, thinking I'm going to try 1 lb weights, just so i can finish. (i BARELY could finish yesterday - had to take a couple of quick breaks).

    I'm not sure what's worse - feeling so defeated by not having this be sort of easy or the thought of having to do it again tonight!! :ohwell:

    This is my second round on this series. I thought that level 1 would be too easy after having done Level 3, but it's really not! When you stop modifying moves, it's just as tough because the exercises are working different parts of the muscle (I think) than Level 3. I'm not sweating as much as Level 3, but I don't think it's a waste of time at all. Very surprised!

I also had her take some before pics of me! I will post at end of the 30 days! Keep it up everyone, we can do this! Friend request me if you want to help each other out!!!
