    Day one for me! Eeeee so excited! Haha!
    Jumping jacks killed me a little. Right after the workout I was thinking, "Hrm, that didn't seem too hard...maybe I need something more intense..." An hour later I couldn't lift my arms or walk up the stairs XD
    I may start Level 2 early, depending on how sore I be ;) Good luck folks!

    I started this morning. My question is how do you log that under your exercise? I have no idea how many calories I burned

    I'll be completing Day 8 of Level one this evening! Getting easier, but reading the posts about level 2 has me scared!

    I log it as circuit training for 20 minutes in MFP.

    I wear a hrm and usually burn about 160 calories. I'm still on L1 so don't know what it'll be for L2 & 3. I log it under cardio.

    Today was my Level 2 Day 8. I want to dropkick Jillian in the neck and face during the workout, but it's working.

    i went to the gym last night after my jillian workout & i have not been able to run for that long or that hard (4.6) on treadmill since high school probably. and suprisingly i am definitely not as sore today :-) and i also had been using 5 lb weights in each hand instead of 2.5 in each hand...and i think that contributed to my pain in my legs...on those squats i was killing it!! :-) I also put some cold packs on my thighs last night before bed--good times...havent done that since high school soccer games either :-)
    i can tell a difference already in how much faster i can walk and my legs feel stronger...

    Yes! Me :) I did Level 1 for 7 days and now I'm adding Level 2 into, alternating each day. Haven't touched level 3 yet though. Looks tough!
  • I'm on day 24 (ugh). Seriously starting to hate jumping jacks. :sad:

    I chose to rotate the 3 levels and take one day per week as a rest day (Friday), i.e. Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, repeat except for the day off.

    I find all the Levels challenging but have added some weights to Level 1 that are not in the original (shawdow boxing with weights, which is done in Level 2 [3? getting confused ... days blurring together). I've also increased the weights overall.

    I like Levels 1 and 3, not too crazy about Level 2 but that is prob due to my knees. I'm glad I decided to rotate 1/2/3 b/c honestly, I don't think I could take 10 straight days of Level 2!

    I try to do this in the a.m. before work b/c I get all sweaty; then I've been walking at lunch (most days) and then most days (9 out 10) I walk the dog immediately after work for 30 mins. To be honest, I'm not seeing "omg" results but I do feel stronger and there is a lot of flab on me to be shredded.
  • Finished Day 8 Level 1 today and just finished up 45 min of cardio. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm starting to enjoy the exhausted feeling I get after working out :)

    I have to do modified jumping jacks. I don't care what she says. She doesn't have to live with my hurting knees!

    Are you guys doing just the shred or cardio as well? I've had to take 3 days off so far (started the shred on the 1st) due to injuring my knee. I try to do at least 5 days a week of cardio on top of the shred. Kinda nervous about doing level 2!

    I actually started it 12 days ago, I skipped 2 days at rest days so I'm going to start level 2 today. I've done Zumba for over a year now and a couple of other mixed strength classes here and there but started this to try to get over this 8 month plateau. So..after 12 days I have not weighed myself as I'm actually on a long business trip but I can see the difference in my body and it shows in my pants. Probably an inch gone off my waist. I can feel it's easier now than it was at the start so ready for Level 2 today!

    I started this yesterday. I really enjoyed it. The only problem I can foresee is that I work 12 hour shifts 4x per week. By the time I get home I only have about 2 hours to get relaxed enough to go to bed. I guess I will have to find time in the morning to get this done. I love hearing all the success stories from people who have completed the 30DS and look forward to sharing my own success story.
  • Just finished Day 9 Level 1. After about the 5th day I had the exercises and their order memorized and found it was a lot easier after that point. There are some moves that don't wear me out quite as bad so I can look forward to those when doing the harder exercises. I'm dreading the first few days of Level 2 but hope it will be the same as level 1 as far as getting easier after I have the level memorized.

    Lvl1Day7 here. I've improved so much in some of the exercises over the last week. Especially the push ups (which i do on my knees). I really want to supplement it with some cardio though. Maybe zumba on youtube or Brazil Butt Lift or something.
