    I have been alternating arms with the side lunges when I'm tired. the way I'm leaning is the side I raise. Makes it a bit easier and still getting a work out. It is tough. I had to lower the weights from what I'm used to. I'm using 3 lb weights most of the time and in the p90X I can go up to 5 or 8 Jillian is kicking my butt.

    That's a great idea...I'll try this tomorrow. Thanks!

    The form on those side lunges IS hard! I can never figure it out, and the only instruction Jillian gives is that it should go to the side and back :grumble:

    Gonna do L1D4 today! Definitely feeling a difference from L1D1 already!

    Keep up the good work, everyone!!! :flowerforyou:

    Yeah, I also have a bit of a problem with the side lunges. I am not entirely sure I do them right. But I corrected other moves and indeed, it makes a big difference and it feels less awkward.

    We are all getting better every day, improving and feeling more confident. By the end of our 4th or 5th day I'm sure we'll be more than comfortable with the exercises.

    Stay focused :flowerforyou:

    Just finished L1D4!!! Getting a little bit easier, thank goodness lol.

    I have noticed that those dreaded side lunges with anterior raises ARE getting a little bit easier! I still have to really focus and I almost lose it toward the end, but I finished them all! :drinker:

    Now, off to go eat my yummy lunch. Gotta get some protein for them muscles :bigsmile:

    Keep it up ladies! :flowerforyou:

    WOOHOO! My 30 Day Shred DVD arrived in today's mail! I'm so excited!

    After much consideration, I think I'm going to start it tomorrow. I know that sounds bad but I SWEAR it's not because I'm putting it off! I have been an afternoon/evening workouter my whole workout life. I am going to do these in the morning - even though I already get up at zero-thirty a.m. as it is, I think it will help me keep on track to knock this out first thing in the morning. It'll help wake me up, get me going, and I won't be fretting about working out all day because it will be done. YEAH!

    Hot on your heels, gals!!! ~~~

    I'm joining late too, hope that's okay!

    I just finished L1D1, I had to do the push ups on the wall, and don't even mention the stretching at the end... it was the worst part of it for me, apparently I have lost ALL flexibility.

    How do you all enter it into your exercise diary? Do I just put it in as 20 minutes of aerobics?

    I do 20 minutes of circuit training

    Starting a little later than the rest of you. I just completed L1D1. It was tough but I loved. My 5 lb weight seem to be too much for me. I think I have to go down to 3 pounds to start with. I loved the side lunges and my legs felt really strong but I wasn't even holding any weights in my arms. I guess my upper body needs a little bit more work.

    I love the 30 day shred! It's the best workout I've ever done - and I've done a lot!!! :) I stopped using it for a few months and finally started back up on Saturday, so this message board was perfect timing!

    L1D4 done! I cheated for about 10 second on the jumping jacks and about 10 seconds on the jumprope part. Kept moving doing similar but non jumping stuff. I just was beat and didn't want to stop so I at least did something. When we did jumprope and jacks in the 3rd circuit I did do them all. On the whole though I'm still just as exhausted as day 1, but I feel better doing it - if that makes sense.
