Level 1 Day 1 here!

Hi! Thanks for the add. I am wondering if the 30DS system would still work well if I have to skip doing them on weekends? I have all my 3 kids home on weekends (no school for my 2 older kids) and I don't fancy working out after their 10pm bedtime because it screws up my sleep cycle... Any thoughts?

P.S. I live in a small apartment so there's no such thing as "exercise in another room". The hall (aka living room) is the only one with any space and a TV.


Checking in of general stats:
Weight: 76.8kg
Body Fat: 37.7%

Will take some "before" photos if I can get the self-portrait thing right. Never been good with photos.

I am wondering if the 30DS system would still work well if I have to skip doing them on weekends?

My daughter did it only during the week...on the weekends she does a lot of walking and going to the park or beach so she probably makes up for not doing it but that said, she got brilliant results..so I think 5 weekdays is fine. Better than nothing eh?!

Day 1 of level 1 , was tough but i got through it will see how my body reacts in the morning :laugh:

Today was my 4th day doing level 1. I was able to get through 10 push-ups from my knees each set (the first time I did it I only did 3 before giving up). I upped my weights from 1 pound to 3 pounds for squat/shoulder presses for the first set of each.

I had to stop for a few seconds during jump rope to catch my breath and get some water.

I did modified versions of the front lunges...I don't think I am doing them right because when I try to do them all the way down, it hurts my back knee. I don't really feel anything in my muscles though when I only go half way down so will have to check out some YouTube videos for better form.

Level 1, Day 1!

Wasn't too bad!

I did my fist day Monday night! (New Zealand Time) and I loved it! all feel free to add me!!!

Day 1 Level 1 here. I didn't find it too bad.

I noticed that the dvd didn't say how many days to do this in a row. Are you supposed to take a rest day at all? How many days is everyone going to do this before they have a rest day if they are going to take one?

It's supposed to be 10 days of each level - no rest day at all! I'm guessing that's how it's supposed to shred us up.

I did Level 1 Day 4 today, it is definitley beginning to feel a bit easier, I'm not as sore and am able to push on through whereas on Day 1 I was stopping for a breather! Still using the cans of beans as I don't have any weights!

Hubby who has been training hard for a 1/2 marathon did level 3 last night so I got an idea of what might be coming....eeeekkkk. I think I'll need to work seriously hard at levels 1 and 2 before attempting 3!

Today I will be on day 8 of Level 1. I use 3 lb hand weights throughout the workout. I am really dreading starting Level 2 which should be Friday, however I'm going out of town for the weekend so it probably wont' be until Monday. It does get easier ladies so stick with it! The first 3 days were the hardest mostly because of sore muscles. Once your muscles start feeling better it gets easier.

I'm a day behind most of you I do believe. I started Level 1 Day 1 today. This is my second time of doing the 30 day shred....Seen amazing results the first time, have a vacation coming up soon, so I figured I'd give it another go!! Good luck to everyone!!

I finished Level 1 Day 4 today! I am doing this every day with no rest days. I also am doing 6 Weeks to 6 Pack Abs to get a longer workout in.

Level 1, Day 5 complete. I need to start working it in earlier in the day because by 9pm I shot as is... but I did it!!

Level 1 day 3 done
