    I started it last Saturday. I was VERY sore on days 2-4, but today on day 6 I am not sore at all! I am going to do it EVERY day with no days off. I am thinking about staying on level one for 14 days instead of 10 but I have not made up my mind yet. Some of the exercises do seem a bit easier, but I have a bad knee so I do have to modify a bit. I never stop moving though! As someone said in a previous post, it is only 30 second intervals. We can definitely do this! Just don't give up!

    Don't worry about not being able to do the push-ups right. I am currently doing her Ripped in 30 level 2, and she was killing me with all those planks, (crazy Jillian- no person can do this.) But I must admit by the 4th time around even with a metal plate in my arm (car accident) I could do all the planks and push ups with no problem. You just have to push yourself a little bit each time.

    I am on day 6 of the 30DS and this is the furthest I've ever gotten (and I've tried it a few times!!) It really does get less painful, the first few days are agony I will give you that but it honestly does get easier! Just push through the barrier.

    I can't do the pushups so instead I do the plank position (with knees on the floor). I also can't do situps but I have one of those ab rollers (http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9237135.htm) which I use to help me now.

    Hopefully one day I will be strong enough to do those moves without additional help but so long as I am doing something it's better than nothing.

    What is the schedule for the 30DS? Everyday? Every other?

    Every day for 30 days, but some people have a rest day every now and then.
