    Just made it through day 1. I'm going to have to modify a few of these because of a knee injury (for example I'm not quite strong enough to do the full range for that many standard pushups yet, but the modified ones put too much pressure on my knees, also the side lunges) but other than that it was great. Definitely harder than I thought it would be. I'm excited to see what 30 days will do. Good luck everyone!

    I just finished my Day 1 of the 30DS and 25 minutes of Zumba cardio. I feel great! I can't quite get all the way down on the pushups, and jumping jacks kill me, but otherwise I got through it all. Feeling good!

    Hi everyone. I decided at the last minute to give this a try. We'll see how this goes. It has taken me 4 months to drop a size as of today. What a great feeling! Just 2 to go. Looking forward to support!

    Although I started doing it on april 20 for 6 days then I stopped I will continue doing it in may too.
    Are you guys planning to do it every single day or you want to have break in weekends ( Saturday and Sundays )
    I do recommend to have rest for our bodies in weekends because it's really a tough workout. But we can still go for walks in weekends for example or do other activities :)?

    What do you think?
    For Me I was thinking for sure Mon-Friday. I am more willing to stick to it during the week days. My week ends are typically busy and I don't always stick to my plans.
    First time in a long time I'm excited about exercising.
    Good luck tomorrow everyone.

    Day 1 Level 1 complete!

    For those that are feeling sore, I would recommend doing more stretching at the end since it's pretty short on the video.

    Good job everyone!

    I'm on day 8 level one. I'm using 2 lb weights. The first 3 days were the hardest. I could barely walk up and down the stairs. I'm getting through the cardio but I'm still working up a sweat. I'm a little nervous about starting level two. But I'm determined to make it through the whole 30 days.

    Hope to do better tomorrow.

    Day 1 Level 1 - done!

    finished day 3 level one this morning, My legs are still sore from day one and two but getting better, im pushing through it. I used my heart rate monitor everyday and its showing between 300-400 calories burned.my heart rate was at 180 at one point. I will definitely be keeping this up. jumping jacks, jump rope, and butt kicks are evil when your sore.

    I was thinking about 'postponing' the start of 30ds yesterday but managed to talk myself in to starting on may1st ( I was planning for a month already) after all and I could not be happier about it.. Somehow it's always easy to come up with excuses not to do something even though you know you should.. (or is that just me?)
    afterwards I was beat but also proud for actually completing level 1 day 1 and not giving up on myself before even trying!
    Hopefully I will be able to walk up the stairs after the workout normally again in a few days, but for now I'd say sore muscles are totally worth it!! ????
