Can you do 30DS in front of others?

I've lived with my BF 4 years but there is NO WAY I would let him see me work out to 30DS lol

    I did my 1st day of 30DS w/ bf last night. We were pretty focused the full 20 minutes.. had one laughter breakdown because he looked so silly doing the butt kicks!

    LOL that is awesome.

    I just don't feel comfortable yet :(

    I definitely want to do P90x with him when I am ready.

    P90X is ULTRA-intimidating to me for some reason. I've got to get myself to a more fit place before I can try that. Andrew (the bf) is already saying how after 30DS we should try insanity.... you know what that idea is... insanity. Just saying! haha!

    I said I want to do it with him but that's when I am beyoooond ready lol

    After 30DS I will eventually decide on starting Turbo Fire or P90x. We'll see...

    Because it's a 30-day commitment, I've had to do it in front of my friends and family or I wouldn't get it done. After a minute or so they lose interest. Plus, I crank the music up & Jillian's annoying voice down. If you're not doing it, just looks like you're doing jumping jacks to music and some push ups. We know it's hard than that :wink:

    Funny you should ask, was part way through 30 DS today (first time so I was huffing and puffing) and my boyfriend showed up. I feel bad for stopping but there was no way I was doing that in front of him! I guess I'll have to REALLY start tomorrow, lamest excuse ever I know but I'm sticking to it. Don't know if I would have been able to finish though, that **** is hard!

    I did Day 1 in front of my hubby last night, and then I convinced him to do it with me today! I think he is more self-conscious than I am actually. He's probably skinnier than I am (naturally skinny), but he is super out of shape and not athletic or into working out at all. I had to give him a tutorial before we started of how to do all the moves with proper form. I think he was kind of embarassed that he wasn't able to do some of the stuff very well and was really huffing and puffing. Made me feel a little bit better about my fitness though - I might not be as skinny as him, but I'm in better shape!

    Some people on here have told me to track it as circuit training in cardio. Just add your time and it will add it up. I'm not so sure I personally like that so I'm still waiting on my hrm watch to arrive to compare :)

    Anyone get annoyed by Jillian? Sometimes she annoys me but I still push thru because she is working me out! lol

    I actually cannot really stand Jillian Michaels. I hated her on The Biggest Loser and I'm still not really a fan BUT these dvds are a really good workout. LOL

    Yeah she's pretty cocky, kind of full of herself. I think when I get a bit more used to this I'm gonna watch it on mute.

    I imagine I'm punching her on the boxing session. Just done day 2, feeling good! Getting blood circulated to parts of the body I've not used in a while - working a desk job has really screwed my circulation up!
    One thing I love about the workout is the first half is hard, but then second half eases up, just when you're wanting to quit. Anyone else find the second half easier?

    Yeah, it is a bit easier. Love the part where you lie on your back and lift weights over your chest! I could do that for hours, so relaxing!

    Omg I love those chest flys! I think I can do those and fall asleep while still doing them lol

    I love the chest flys too!

    Jillian definitely gets on my nerves. Do you notices she says a few times "just a couple more" and then does like ten more reps before saying "2 more". LIAR!

    Urgh I hate it when she does the 'just a couple more' thing too! Bah. The other thing I hate is when she says 'i bet you can feel the burn' and then I realise it hurts like hell! Don't remind me of the pain woman!
    Overall, I don't think shes too bad and I enjoy the workout. I'm on day 6 so its getting quite repetitive now though.
    I tend to have a rest day when my boyfriend comes over! oops.
