    I just started 30DS... I found it to be really hard... But I'm not giving up. I'm looking for friends that are doing 30DS to help me through this. Please add me as a friend. I need support to get through this!

    Just started level one! I'm having an issue where I don't have quite enough space to do some of the exercises... nor do I have proper hand weights (I'm currently using my pushup bar things!), but since I'm still sweaty and heart racing by the end I figure something is better than nothing and I'll add as I can! Love the group here :)

    Hey,

    I didn't get a chance to update yesterday, so I'll do both days now.

    I started level 3 yesterday and I think I'm in love :love: with Jillian even though she has seriously kicked my *kitten* for these first 2 days on L3. There are very few exercises which I am able to do without stopping (several times, on occasions), but I can totally see the potential of level 3, as opposed to level 2 which I just about tolerated.

    Can't wait to do it again tomorrow! And I can see doing this level in the future as well.

    So, to recap: L3 D1 and L3 D2 done :)

    Have a lovely Wednesday guys xxx

    moonlesssky(and several others I see), I agree with you about tolerating L2, I was so happy when I finished D10 of that. L3 is definitely a challenge, but a good one. I am doing some of the modfied moves, especially at the end of circuit 3 abs with that side plank raise thingy, whatever it is called. My left shoulder is giving me some trouble from a previous injury many years ago but I will press on! Excited to see my final results in measurements at the end of 30 days!

    Level 2 day 9 :/ I only did about 10 minutes of the DVD all together.... I feel really bummed.
    I dont know whats wrong with me I just cannot do this level.
    Maybe level 3 will be better...

    Level 2 day 3 ....have really enjoyed this level, way more than level 1, but today was hard! My shoulders were killing me, and I know I have bad form with the pendulum swing things..... But my biggest concern is leaving town til Tues and don't know what to do to get the workout in. Can't really haul the DVD player, and won't have room in the hotel anyway, and its a cheap hotel, no workout room....worried about that much time off

    Level 2 Day 4. No pounds lost this week, but last night I bought a pair of dress slacks for work ONE size down! And not just a fluke-EVERY pair I tried on fit!!! Whoo hoo!!! Now THAT'S motivating!

    Stick it out, level 3 is much more fun (and hard work!) than level 2, so do keep going!! Good luck xx

    Side planks are ok, but I cannot, for the life of me, even attempt the jump lunge things, so I do Anita's version. And the very last cardio jumps (I forget what they are called) are a big no-no, I would most definitely end up in my downstairs neighbour's room! So I swap them with butt kicks. On the whole, it's hard hard hard, but I am totally loving it!!

    I also cannot wait to measure in a few days! :bigsmile: Good luck xx

    Level 3 Day 2, im sore again so im actually happy about that.
    I cannot do the jumping portion like the rock star jump so i do oblique twists or buttkicks
    Not sweating as much as level 2, but im so happy to be out of level 2 i dont care.
    level 3 is fun.

    Wrapped up Level One Day 5 today. I'm actually able to do all 30 seconds of all the cardio each time which I couldn't on day one or two.

    I took a day off to rest my thigh muscles because my legs were wanting to just collapse doing lunges. Better today, but definitely not 100%!

    Lol...I so agree with you about Level 2! I was so relieved on Day 10 of it! Level 3 not so bad! I will need a break from this when I finish on Tuesday. I think I might start up P90X again just because I need something I can do at home. P90X is hard but seems a whole lot easier after getting through Level 2! :-)

    Oops I was AWOL for a week but back at it today! After 7 days of Level 2, I skipped ahead to Level 3 today. Not bad! I was watching on Youtube and lost internet connection twice (?) plus it skipped at one point, so that was irritating and I wasn't 100% into it. I'm always tentative the first time I do a video anyway. Looking forward to improving on Level 3!

    Level 3 Day 2! Definitely sore in my shoulders in a bit in my back but today was good - did a little more (like all those mountain climbers!) but still have to follow Anita for a couple moves. Onward and upward!

    DONE!! Just finished my 10th day of Level 3! Totally done with the 30 Day Shred! It feels so good to have finished it. I have never worked out for so many days in a row! I feel like my endurance has been strengthen. I even wouldn't mind doing a little running now. I measure tomorrow. I am really hoping the scale moved but if not I can certainly see a difference in my body! Thanks for starting the group!
