    I got through day 2!!! :bigsmile:
    I think my Zumba and Pilates classes somewhat conditioned me for this since I am only a little sore from the pushups. I am using 3# weights for the overhead exercises (I'm weak) and 5# for the rows (need to get heavier ones)....today I used the 3# for the second set of Punches too! :happy:
    Effort=Results...my new motto! LOL

    Have a great day!

    I did day 1 last night, and I must be really out of shape because it was hard!! My fiance did it with me and he was even having a hard time! Today my arms are a bit sore but that's about it!
    See you tonight Jillian! :)

    Did day 1 level1 last night. Will do day 2 tonight.

    Does anyone else have problems getting through all the reps they do? For example, I can't do push-ups for as long as they do. I do about 12 the first round and then like 7 the second round. I just rest until we move on. What does everyone else do if they can't finish?

    I do!!!! I just try to take a 5 sec break (like she mentions) and then do the best I can to finish the reps. I have such a hard time with the push ups!

    Day one complete! I almost didn't bother doing it last night, but I'm glad I did.
    Today though...my legs are killing me!!

    As a previous poster said: I think stretching more afterwards would be a good idea. There isn't enough stretching in the video after the workout.

    Finished Day 2! The hardest part for me is definitely the jumping jack/jump rope section. But I'm doing it! Hope you all have a great day 2.

    I think the side lunges with the raises are the toughest... I need less weight for those. Also my calves start cramping on the jump rope.

    No pain today though... must not have worked hard enough! Will do Day 2 tonight since I couldn't get my butt outta bed this morning :)

    Hi there,
    Finished day 2, Found it a little harder today, had a few 5sec. breaks during but I made it through.
    I think I have to stretch more because I am sore all over. Not sure if because I'm so out of shape or I'm getting older:)
    Have a great day everyone!

Will be doing L1D2 later this afternoon. wish me luck! and luck to you all!!! Also, are you all counting calories or just working out? yesterday I cut off just under 1200 vs. my normal 2000ish

    Day 2 done! I find the cardio sections easy and the abs not too hard. But when I am doing some of the strength exercises, I feel like I will literally explode and die. Still it feels great once you have completed the workout!

    The more support the better! This is my first time trying, this afternoon will be day 2, just got back from cycling 4 miles at the gym and added it to my journal on here but...

    QUESTION - How are you all logging your level 1 sessions in your journals? is it saved in the list somewhere or do I add it, and if I add it I wouldnt know what calorie count etc to list since Im not using a monitor

    Completed level 2 - took less breaks, woo!
    Think I'm going to be hurting more tomorrow, definitely pushed harder today

    Someone asked about dieting, I'm having 1200 cals and then sometimes having the extra 150 or so from the 30DS if I really feel I need them

    What is everyone else doing food wise?
