Wish I had known this yesterday:ohwell: at least i can take the vidoes i bought to work or on vacation.:happy:

I'm on day 5 of level 1 with 4kg weights (8.8pounds?). I am used to 5x 1 hour workouts at the gym with heaps of cardio and this workout was making me FEEL IT! The day after I first did it... I felt like everything was sore

It's so quick and so effective!! I mean I drag myself out of bed to do it and before I know it i'm through section 1... thats a third of the way! I couldn't do the full time of modified push ups when I started and now I can and it's only day 5... and I hope to move to the proper ones soon! (Yes i took before pix - as yuk as they are LOL)

I'm doing this in addition to my 5 weekly gym workouts... so on my rest day I just Shred.

I've promised myself 30 days no breaks... and when I finish level 3 I wanna go back and do level 1 and see how easy it seems hahaha

Also I have hashi's and have some really hypo days so on those days just getting out of bed is an acomplishment but I still push myself and do it so any other hashis/hypos pushing themselves through this... stick with it... we can do it

I did 30DS for a couple months this summer and really enjoyed it. (Then I, unfortunately got lazy for a couple months when work got hectic) Now, I rotate between a lot of different programs.

Here’s what I’d say to expect. Your first day, because you haven’t done any exercise for a while, it will be tough. Don’t quite! Get to the end. Each day, push yourself harder. Ironically I find level 2 harder than level 3 because plank is a pain for me and you do a LOT of plank and plank cardio in level 2.

The other workouts I like by her are her “Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism” – excellent 45 minute intense cardio – “No More Trouble Zones” – the title says it all! – and “Ripped in 30” – a lot like 30DS but more exercises, a little shorter on the combo moves and has 4 levels. However, I do have to make the disclaimer on that one that they majorly “sexed” her up and tried to make her extra “tough.” So she is wearing a buttload of makeup (come one!) and just seems really fake. Lol. I have to put her on mute on that one, which is too bad cause I like her.

I don’t do this everyday, but usually add to other workouts or do two levels in a row in addition to a 45 minute run. Your endurance definitely builds as you workout! I would recommend getting in a 30 minute speed walk as 20 minutes isn’t very long of a workout, even with high intensity. I also do P90X, TurboFire, Insanity (along with those several Jillian discs) and I love the variety and the intensity of workouts. Today I did P90X followed by TurboFire abs and will do a run with the dogs tonight! Tomorrow – level 1 and 2 of 30DS!

You can do it and soon it will just be a “part” of your full program! Your body will thank you and your endurance will increase dramatically by forcing it to keep high intensity and constant movement! Push harder every day! (Sorry, too long of a post! Oh well..)

SHRED IT!!!

Just completed Day 4 of Level 2. It's becoming somewhat easier with each new session. I'm slowly adding in more advanced moves to test out the knees. I was able to do the plank jacks with no problems My knees still hurt every time after the workout but it fades. Rest tomorrow, YES.
