Day 4 done. I'm happy doing the girlie pushups, but still hating jumping jacks. But it is definitely getting easier.

Day 4, done! Keep going everybody!0

I'm still struggling.
For the pushups, I did the first round on my knees, and the second against the wall. But I did finish the first round on my knees.
For the cardio, I still can't do any but the punches all the way through. I march in place to keep moving, but I can't seem to stay at the high impact--probably because of knee and ankle worries.
I have to put my weights down for the second round of squat and press.
On the credit side, I did my workout before work today.0 -

Day 4.. good god almighty! Will I ever get through all 30 days??? Getting 'slightly' better with the first set of pushups but by the second set I am toast! Cardio is still hard for me. I find the jump rope is killing my quads so I jump from one foot to the other. I figure its still keeping my heart rate up. And the butt kicks are impossible! I discovered today if i hold onto a chair for balance I can get trough them much better.0

I know what you mean about the pushups. I don't go all the way down on the first set--but I only stopped and caught my breath for one push-up worth. OTH, I'm still doing the second set against the wall.
I like the idea of doing the butt kicks with the help of a chair for balance--I'm going to try that.
I think the reason my legs aren't killing me (the way they ought to be) is because I'm not doing the jumping for the cardio. I want to step it up--but don't want to hurt my knees, either. At my weight and age, that's a real issue.
OTH, my abs are feeling it--and I'm finding that part easier.
We're doing it--and no matter how much we struggle, we'll be glad we started....0 -

day 4 done. not going to lie, jillian might have called me out for "phoning it in" but I did it!0
-
Done! =D0
-
ha, ha... Day 4 finished, I probably would have been called out, too, during the lunges. Did ok on everything else though and my bicycle crunches are starting to look controlled.
To the people that are excited that we are 1/2 way through level 1... just think what comes next. YIKES!0 -
Finished Day 4 tonight! Some parts are getting easier. Since I can't manage to even do the "modified" pushups, I modified them even more by doing them on the wall. I feel better than when I didn't do them at all.0
-
Completed Day 5 today!
Push ups getting better (modified) and I managed to do all the side lunges with arm raises. It was a killer though!
I haven't shown any weight loss this week and I'm hoping it's water weight with all the muscle soreness. I've put in 3 cardio sessions of 50 minutes each besides the 5 days of Jillian. I'm eating within 100 calories of my goal every day.
Hopefully I'll lose a few pounds when I check in next week 0 -
Day four some, I am not in constant pain as much and can make it through all the cardio except one rest of 2 seconds on the last set. Push ups are a struggle, I have move to the bench press and am on my toes, it's harder than standing and doing them on the wall. My knees really hurt when I try to do the girls ones so I am hoping I go from the bench straight into proper. Ones. Side lunges also kill I am ok on my legs it's the weights. I have decided t use heavy weight for some of it cause I feel not challenge with my 1 kilo set. I haven't dropped much. Weight but will keep at it. The c25k interval endurance running program has helped me get through the cardio part with ease. I highly recommend it, I don't full sprint either I just jogg my way through the intervals.0

Haha, I have thought of that! That's why my goal is to really improve everyday. I have this terrible fear that if I don't master Level 1 than Level 2 will kill me!0
