    day two completed, feel beat again, I kinda though this was going to be easier, but I guess im kind of glad it isn't. but im able to finish with small breaks, which are really just me shaking out my legs because my quads feel so bad during this video, lol.
    but I shake em out and jump right back in

    You might enjoy joining this thread. It is very similar to yours and there are several folks on it that started at or around the 1st of June.

    day 4 completed for me
    I have a few problems though, I still for the life of me cant do the pushups
    and in the first circuit the squat/should press kills my shoulder, I always take a break the second time
    and that move doesn't appear to burn my quads, or my mind is only focused on the shoulders, but when I get to the cardio, jumping jacks and jump rope, my quads begin to die out on me and I have to break to shake em out. but I used to be able to do them forever,

    other than that, im pretty solid till the very end, and those bicycle crunches, destroy me, so I stop half way through take a 5 sec break and finish with regular crunches

    I started yesterday and was also surprised by how beat I felt after. I sure doesn't look as hard as it is.
    If you feel like you've reached exhaustion from certain moves you could lower your weight for the second set or both sets.
    You could also do modified jumping jacks or march in place instead of the butt kicks.
    I have to do modified push ups at this point to do all of them.

    Hello,

    Just finished day 9 level one, so far fro what I can say is it does seem to kill until the fourth or fifth day, then all of a sudden I found I was doing all of the exercises the whole way through (those side lunges kill me though). Another thing, for me at least, is taking a rest day, I had one after the fifth day and the next time I did it I could work through the dvd so much better and harder. Tomorrow is my last day on level one then a rest day and then onto level two. I would say I'll post about it but am fully expecting not to be able to move! Keep it up guys, we can so do this.

    just completed day 6, no rest days so far, and it hasn't gotten any easier for me, I struggle in all the same places, but I keep pushing, it wont hold me down, not even jillian can do it, lol

    Congrats! You're doing a great job by sticking with it. I started today and I hate side lunges with front raises lol. Well can't wait to se your end progress!! Stay strong and focus =)

    day 7 done for me, started using 5 lb weights, I was using 2lb and felt I was cheating, but 5 is definitely enough for the first squat exercise with the shoulder press and for the side lunge thing, my shoulders be dead,
    only thing giving me major problems now is static lunge since I tend to loose my balance all the time, probably just my legs quitting on me though, lol
    that and the jump rope because it does damage to my quads

    It's day 3 for me and better than yesterday. (I struggled to go up stairs after those lunges!) I'm glad to hear how everyone seems to be making little progresses. You all actually help me believe I can do this!

    Just finished day 1- I was a sweaty mess when I finished but I felt so accomplished! Unfortunately having to parallel park my car shortly after doing the exercises proved really difficult- my arms wouldn't cooperate! I'm excited to stick with this though. Have to remember to take measurements tonight!

    yeah, just finished day 8, and proud of it, although in 3 days I start level 2, I am afraid, but I will survive,

    I'm on level 2. I really hate planks! But I can't believe I have made it so far, and I'm not gonna give up!! Keep up the good work!

    Congrats you are doing great! I finished Level 2 Day 4 this morning. You will feel your endurance build up just keep doing it. I would suggest at least 1 day of rest to give your body time to recover.

    Just finished day2 level 2, and it really ramps up. I think level three will kill me, but as they say what doesn't kill you (and it might) will make you stronger (please god let this be true). Oh and a message to JM... you will not defeat me you devil woman! LOL

    Hey, you made it this far! Keep telling yourself that all the pain you went through in level 1 will be for naught if you quit now!

    another day down, day 9 for me, it hasn't really gotten easier, but I push though, tomorrow is last day of level 1, My goal is no breaks, and no fumbles, gotta finish strong, I am better than her, lol

    wish me luck people
    and to everyone here, good job so far, and keep going, its all in the mind, you have to convince yourself to keep pushing, until your body does it as second nature.

    I just started the 30 day shred on Monday. I'm doing it with a friend and we're thinking to move to level two next week (after 5 days of level one, we're just doing it on weekdays). We are both pretty in shape, do you guys think we should stick it out like 10 days before we move on first? It seems like the only thing we struggle with is push-ups but I always do "boy" push-ups the first circuit and "girl" the second. She does girl the whole time...is it okay to move on?

    Any input would be awesome!

    Happy to see this thread! Yesterday was my first day of Level One- I was having a really rough time towards the end, but I'm surprisingly not too sore today- have to stick with it! Kudos to you for keeping committed!

    you done necessarily have to wait 10 days, it really sais to move on when you feel comfortable, and if its too easy theres no point so I would move on
    day1 level 2 complete, well I took some serious breaks, lets hope I do better tomorrow.

    I just got to day 8 level 1 and using only 3lb weights, but that's enough for my weedy arms just now. Like you I plan to move straight on to level 2, no breaks, as I feel I need to see a difference in my shape as soon as possible to keep my motivation up.
