I too started yesterday, and when. Attempted it a couple of years ago I couldn't even make it past the warm up. This time round I felt like I might not be doing it right cause I was okay afterwards, no much pain. Today I had hubby watch me to make sure my form was right and I managed to get through it all. I am thinking of increasing the weights cause I feel like I can push more in that area, but the push ups kill me, I am doing them on my knees but feel like I may or be going down far enough, so might do them leaning against the wall til I build up more strength. Any thoughts? Or tips?

I don't know about you guys, but in the cardio circuit with the punches, I get way closer to the TV and pretend to punch Jillian in the face! LOL But seriously I do. And I'm doing ok. My quads are KILLING me and I do mean killing. Just to get up and walk is a doozy. I can feel every muscle in my upper thighs.

I do have to modify some. Doing wall pushups until I get strong enough to do them on the floor, I can't modify to knee pushups because of a condition I have, it hurts too bad. Today I did Jillians Cardio Kickboxing Biggest Winner BEFORE Shred. Bad combo, never again! So during Shred I had to go lower impact on the cardio circuits. Steptouch on the jumping jacks instead of jumping, jogging in place instead of jumprope, etc. There is TONS of jumping jacks in her kickboxing video so I just couldn't do anymore without hitting the ground lol

And I don't have weights so I've been using 2lb vegetable cans. But they are kinda tough to hang onto, so I'm thinking maybe I can get some half gallon milk jugs and fill them with water and it might be easier, until I can buy some actual hand weights.

I started on Tuesday and I did it again yesterday, but I'm only doing it on days when I don't work out at the gym (I don't have the time or stamina to add an extra 20 minutes onto my hour and a half at the gym!). So I will end up doing it 3 times a week, hopefully. So far it's been fine- I am pretty fit though and I have been doing No More Trouble Zones for the last 2 months on my off gym days. I'm still adding the abs circuits from NMTZ onto the end of the Shred because I am worried that I am not getting enough ab work in, (I don't do abs at the gym). Is anyone else working it in with gym work or are you all doing it on it's own?

What kills me are those push-ups!! i have no upper body strength!! lol
And the kick ups kill me too. And the ab work....
I can go on...... LOL....

Level 1 day 1 completed today, managed to get through it ok but i only have 5lbs weights i may need to invest in maybe some 3lb ones as i have jelly arms now

Holy crow...there is no way that I could even think of 5lbs weights to do that video with especially just starting out!!! I had to go down in weights as I started too high. I'm going to get a few 1 or 2 lbs weights to try out tomorrow. Good luck!!!

well i stuck with the 5lb weights for all exercises except the side lunges with arm raises and i used a tin of soup and a tin of chopped tomatoes for that exercise lol.....

Did Day 3 this evening.
All is well EXCEPT the push ups and the arm raises during the side lunges might be the death of me. Clearly my weakness is my shoulders!
