    Wow that was tough - need to push through the first few days til the improvements start to become noticeable! Hardest parts for me are the first cardio section and the anterior raises in the last set. Yuck!

    Good luck all!

    Can't believe I finally did it :smile: Hardest part for me by far was getting up and down off the floor :blushing:

    One down, 29 days to go - - yes we can!!!!!!!!!!

    Day one done at 7:00 this morning, then went out for a walk after. Yay. I know every morning won't be this good, but at least today was!

    Have a good Friday everyone

    Can't quite believe it but I actually managed the whole session tonight. When I tried doing it about 1 month ago, I couldn't even get up off the floor quick enough to keep up, so bailed out. This time I may actually complete the 30 days, comforted by the knowledge that there are others going through the same pain :happy:
  • Day 3 complete...finally able to do all the jumping jacks! But still not coordinated enough to do that last ab exercise the right way.

    I completed Day 1 this morning and my arms felt like jello for a little while after, but now I feel GREAT for finishing it! I have made some notes for tomorrow lol

    I was too exhausted to manage the coordination for that too! :)

    Hey Everyone! Happy March 1st! Happy Friday!! And Happy Day 1 of 30 DS!!! I completed Day 1 at 5:30 PST. Woo hoo!! This is my first go around. I work out regularly. I go to the gym and take step, turbo kick, body pump, zumba, spin and boot camp. I also do Turbo Fire at home on occassion. So I kind of went into this thinking, "20 minutes of strength training/cardio/abs...pfft...I got this!!" Omg....I about died this morning!! Because the sets are back-to-back-to-back...it was tough! Plus I think I went too heavy with my weights for the shoulder lifts (they were already sore from my workout last night!). With all that being said, I felt good afterwards and look forward to Day 2. Glad I have this group for support!! Good luck to everyone!! 29 days and counting...
  • Great job everyone! First day down. Man it still kicks my butt lol. Ok tomorrow will be better :happy:

    Just finished my day one and about to go get a mile or two in on the treadmill. I think I will do this in the morning instead. After a long day at work, I don't think I can do Jillian every day.

    Any one else with knee problems have to modify the jumping jacks, jump rope, etc. I did calf raises instead. What do you do to modify?

    Put my out of shape body through level one, day one today. I surprised myself and finished it all, but did have to modify some of the jumpy stuff. I did most of the jumping jacks though. I'm using 3 lb weights because that's what I have (also have 10 lb ones, but no way in hell is that ever happening).

    My hair hurts. :noway:

    Made it through day 1. Not too bad but I need to get some light weights. Used soup cans for today.

    finishing day 1 only made me want to jump right into day 2!!!! pumped :) the push ups and jump rope were my biggest challenge but i did every one and made them count :)

    i really feel it in my legs and as a little more time passes feel it in my arms.. but not really in my abs. does this mean i am doing the ab stuff wrong?

    great job everyone who has finished day 1!!!!

    Day one done! YAY! jumping jacks are the hardest for me; do modified even though Jillian says even a 400 lb person can do it! and yes, the hardest part is just getting up from the floor to the next set! :-)

    Day 1 done!!! I'm so proud! I've had this DVD for probably over a year and have never even opened the box until today. The jumping jacks were painful on my knees so I modified with a bouncey-shuffle instead of a full jump and man it was still so hard! My cat was staring at me the whole time like "what the heck are you doing?" LOL! I feel great and I'm ready for the next 29 days!

    Day 1 completed for me today. Just totally run out of time yesterday. However i completed today and since there are 31 days in march i am still on track lol.

    Have to say did it this morning with 4lb weights and my forearms are really aching now - obviously do not use those muscles much.

    Roll on tomorrow, and gym do not know if i will survive but i will certainly give it a blinking good shot.

    I started today, ran out of time yesterday! I found some parts very very difficult!! The worst for me were the push ups, even the easier style!! Gonna get a bit practice in each day I think!! I also struggled on the crunch's, especially the bicycle ones at the end! I found it hard to keep the rhythm! The cardio I found fine as that is what I have been doing most of i guess. Overall I'm feeling ok. Not aching....yet!! I only used 2lb weights so will use bigger ones tomorrow. :smile:
  • day 2 for me, legs are killing me! Hope I make it thru day 3 on March 2nd...:bigsmile:

    I sort of did day one. I'm not feeling well, and I just couldn't get up and down from the floor. So I watched all the way through the video and did the things I could.

    I did the squats and cardio stuff. During the crunches, I stood and contracted my abs (not as good as the full thing, but all I could handle.) I did not do push ups either.

    I'll try again today.

    L1D1 complete! It was tough! The punch/squats were actually the hardest, but only because I got a little lightheaded. But I made it through! Woo hoo!
