    Had to skip yesterday cuz I was too sore, but I'm ready to go today! My abs have been in pain since day 1, but hopefully that means the pudge is leaving me :laugh:

    Legs are sore, abs are a little sore. But, my lower back is killing me for some reason. I'll do Day 3 Level 1 tonight when I get home from work.

    My back and my arms were in pain today but after completing the day of 30 DS, they are gone.. weird..
  • I wasn't sore at all after day 1. Today (after day 2, haven't done workout for day 3 yet), I'm a little sore - mostly in my pecs and arms, little bit in my legs. I did a 35 minute step class this afternoon which has some sculpting too, so I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow between everything! Got the dog for a walk this afternoon too, so today is full of activity!

    I feel ok, maybe my pecs a bit and when I've been sat for a while and stand up my butt is a bit sore but that goes after a little walk around.

    I did the workout first thing this morning instead of in the evening which I've done the previous 2 days and found it quite a bit harder.

    Woken up today feeling really good after day 1 yesterday.
    Tammy - I did my back in first time I did the 30DS. You just have to take it easy and ease yourself into it.
    I ended up on crutches with a herniated disc :/
  • My calves are in so much pain.... I don't even think there was an exercise that worked your calves. How did I do that? Oh well, lets see if they get any better doing it a second time :)

    My quads are still super sore but everything else is fine.
  • I just finished Day 4, and I think it was the hardest one yet! I'm thinking it's because yesterday I did a step and sculpt class at my gym that is pretty intense on its own, in addition to the 30DS. So I am SORE today. Hopefully tomorrow is better!

    On day 7 and here to tell you the soreness DOES go away! However I have had rest days when its been too much for my muscles. Give your muscles a bit of rest and the soreness will go away :) Apparently Jillian only reccommends you do this 5-6 times a week anyway, the 30 day thing was just a marketing campaign so I've heard.

    I still can't do all of the pushups in a row.... even on my knees. I just finished day 4 this morning. Does anyone else have this problem?
  • meliafairy

    Yes Michelle! I am having the exact same problem...

    My weakest muscle group is my shoulders and I struggle so badly with the pushups. I can do two or three then I have to take a break for a couple of seconds and continue.

    I have trouble doing push ups as well. I can do 3 and then plop lol Then I get up and try 3 again. I never do knee ones only because I feel like I can get my body doing normal push ups if I just keep trying.
  • i cant get through the lunge and biceps curls. my legs are so weak. i start falling over and my legs tremble. anyone else have a problem with them ?

    I dont have any problems with the lunge and bicep curl, but I feel like I am not doing the side lunges right! My knee always feels weird. I have basically just started doing squats during that part lol.

    And glad to hear it isn't just me with the pushups! All we can do is keep trying :)

    Ouch...ouch...ouch...but a good kind of ouch! The pushups are killer and I am only doing the modified version. I need to step it up a bit.
  • I just do the knee pushups because that way I'm able to do it the whole time. I know for sure I can't do real pushups properly. Its weird but my calves feel better today then they did yesterday, even after the workout. Taking that as a good sign and tomorrow is my rest day so hopefully i will be pain-free for sunday.

    Inkmonster - I struggle with the lunges, can't balance, lunge and hold weights at the same time :s I fall over.

    I can only do push ups on my knees, but they're getting easy (day 3 level 1).

    Crazycleo - My calves hurt a bit today.

    Anyone else feel super hungry after the work out? Not sure if it;s my body craving food or my stomach muscles tightening.
    I feel so much stronger 3 days in :)
  • Trying protein shakes, having more protein is supposed to minimize muscle pain because they'll be able to heal faster. I'll let you know how that goes.

    My husband is trying to get me on protein shakes :/
  • I am in pain and this is only my second day! I am very hungry too :( But if I eat any more, I'll be over my calorie intake! I'm only doing the 25 minute work-out. Is this enough?? :/ Really achey!
  • If you're hungry, you should eat! Try to keep it reasonable but never starve yourself!

    You will be in pain for the first few days. if you take a 1 day off after a few days you should be good. Or just work out thru the pain. Eventually your body will get use to it. I was so sore in the first 3 days now im on day 8 and I feel fine.

    Fell on my behind week and half ago and moving is still guarded and limited. I can do most the workout for Level 1 but cardio kills me. Jumping jacks I can handle during the warmout, but the jumping starts to hurt when it gets into the cardio. Jump rope is out completely. I usually try to do butt kicks which don't hurt too bad and then lots of boxing.

    Does anyone have any suggestions of any other cardio that I could try to throw in during those intervals that might be a little more low impact? It gets boring doing the same thing and I would like to keep my muscles more confused. Hopefully the bruised tailbone hurries up and heals, so I can workout normally again.

    Thanks for any suggestion!
  • Thank you very much for the suggestions :) My thighs are really hurting today and struggling to even sit on the toilet - hah!. After reading everyone's posts - glad to know I'm not the only one who can't do push-ups!

    Struggling with what to eat though. (Never had to worry about food but I've recently been diagnosed with ibs and still getting used to what to eat and what not to eat!) Thinking of having spag bol - bad idea??

    stephysd - I have trouble with the jump rope too. So for now, I'm not really jumping - I'm hopping from one leg to the other (makes it a little easier for me, I have very weak ankles - ouch!) It may help? :/ xx

    So I completed level 1 in 10 days with a bit of aching on various day, I did level 2 day 1 on Friday and ached like hell on Saturday - also the fact that I was hungover - so didn't do my day 2. Went to the seaside yesterday so was out all day and didn't get the chance to do it again, I hope 2 days rest will make me come back stronger and not mess things up.
