hartsmart, ha! ( I am her friend that joined)
and thanks for the reminder about wall pushups. I had forgotten about those. Will try that tomorrow.
So today was Day 6 of Level 1 for me. My honey has done it with me for three days, too! I hope he keeps it up because when we do it together it's done by 7 am. That is a great feeling!
The first few days when Jillian was all "Those of you on day 5 and 6 I bet you are noticing a difference in your endurance" I was like "Yeah, no." But today was day 6 and I have to say, I really did notice it in the cardio! It still kicks my a** but I feel more in control and steady with it somehow, if that makes any sense.

Hi Guys
I started 30DS on Sunday so will be doing day 4 today when I finish work, first couple of days really hurt but don't feel as achey today so hoping tonight will be a bit easier.
Looking forward to reading everyones results.

I am starting today after work - it is Sept 1st, and since Sept has 30 days, I figure it'll be easy to keep track of!
I'm kind of nervous, but hopefully it'll be worth it!
I'll update tomorrow after I've finished day 1!0 -
Day 2 of 30ds completed... the push ups are killing me. I just cannot do them!

Those who have been doing it for a while how long was it before you started to see results? I know yo are not supposed to measure too often but I do just b/c I am a numbers person who counts everything, but I do remeind myself that I can't really count it for a week. Anyway I am noticing that my weight was actually higher today by atleast a pound. Just wondering if it was because of th strength training or just my body being funny. I've only been working out again a little over a week0

One day you will be like "I remember back in Sept of 2010 I couldn't even do these!!" Keep Going!! YES YOU CAN!Day 2 of 30ds completed... the push ups are killing me. I just cannot do them!0 -
I haven't done day 4 yet, I'm going to do it later tonight, but I just wanted to say how much better I feel today! The soreness is almost completely gone, so that might give you hope, anyone who is still feeling it! I don't know if it's just my body getting used to it or the 2 veggie burgers with MEGA protein that helped with the soreness.
Let's see if it lasts through day 4 though!
faith, I do the same thing with weighing. I get on the scale then tell myself it doesn't count until Sunday.
And welcome to any new joiners! Good luck!0 -
today was my frist day it was hard, but i did a yoga tape before and it help me with stretching0

I just got 30DS today. But I will probably start next Tuesday since I am going on vacation tomorrow. But i cant wait to get started0
-
It does work. I did the 30 Day Shred/ Mixed with Jillan's 50 minute workouts(Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism/ No More Trouble Zones) about 3 times a week (+I ate well) and I was losing 1-2 lbs. a week. I love how hard core she is and how I can feel sore after on 20 minutes! Good luck.0
-
Day 4 done, some things were a lot harder on Day 1 than they are now. Some things are still pretty hard, but soreness is easing up and I think I am getting stronger!0
-
OK Girls I did it!!! OMG I was pouring sweat!! So day 5 or 6 huh? :huh: uh ok ahhhhhhhhhhh:sick: LOL0
-
Your hilarious! hahahahahaaa And thanks for the encouragement earlier!!0
-
Did day 4 last night and still have trouble with that first cardio set, but everything else (butt kicks, etc) is easy! But that first part, going from push ups (that I barely do) to jumping jacks to jump rope and back just kills me. But the jumping jacks and everything gets easier as the video progresses, I guess gives me time to rest during the abs...
And this probably goes into the realm of Too Much Information, but I think my boobs are interfering with my breathing during jumping jacks/jump rope. :noway: :laugh:0 -
Today will be day 3 for me. I'm a little sore in my legs and chest, but it feels so good! I'm so happy you started this! It helps to have outside encouragement. I'll take some before pics and measurements, then the after! Can't wait for the results!0
-
Today will be day 3 for me and I am sad to say I am just ready to give up... I cheated and weighed myself this morning and I am gaining even though I have been under my calorie goal by 400 for the past two days on 30DS. I am sore all day and I pour sweat when I work out. I've been mixing it with lots of cardio, at least 20 minutes and I am still not losing a bit. I am sick of working so hard and not seeing any results :sad: It is too hard to track the calories for the 30DS, everything says something different so maaybe I am actually eating over. I even cut the # in half yesterday when I recorded the exercise because I though it was not accurate. I don't want to eat way under but I don't want to eat over either, I don't know what to do... hope things look up, I'm very discouraged! :huh:0

My calves are still burning from last nights jump rope...0
-
I started today. And i thought i was quite fit with all the exercise i do on a regular basis. But I nearly died! Haha! Can't wait for tomorro!0

I am so glad that I found you guys...you guys are hilarious! I started 30ds 8/31. And then I took off yesterday because I was sore from the first day, and I am still getting over some kind of sickness. I got this morning, so I will call it D3L1, even though it was really day 2 on level 1. But holy crap, it burned just as much as it did the first time. I do want to cuss her out sometimes, she is however very encouraging.
I had been working out with my wii, ea active: more workouts and loving it, but then I had surgery on my wrist at the beginning of August. Needless to say I cannot do the push-ups, but I have come up with a modified version, so at least I am doing something. I hate the jumping jacks into the jump rope, it hurts my feet first and then my calves BURN!!!
Other than the pain, I am really excited to see results and be able to breeze through these routines!
Good luck everyone, and I will as well keep you posted with measurements and before and after photos!0 -
Just started my first day today. I did it without weights, the best idea I've had yet. Last time I did this workout I started with weights and I was WAY to sore for too long. I feel great not doing it with the weights. I am going to do level one for 10 days without weights and then add the weights for 10 days and move on to level 2.0

hmlayman I know how you feel. My weight has gone up since I started too despite my low calories. I bought a heart rate monitor and it still has me at 350 to 400 calories burned. I hope it is just muscle gain and soon the lbs will come off. I will see on Sunday.
well today will be day 3. I do it at night and I did dancing with Julliane (dancing with the stars) this morning. Well about 1/2 of it, I told myseld that I didn't want to tire myself out before tonight and I am getting some calories burned with Jillian. I just needed something entertaining to keep motivated.0 -

Don't give up!!! I've been working out and watching calories and the foods I eat for the past month and have lost NOTHING! So I'm right there with you in the frustrated category. But try to stick with it. Our bodies are being trained whether we are losing the weight or not, and eventually something has to give and the weight will start to fall off. Look at your daughter and remember why you are doing this. It will all work out. Feel free to add me as a friend if you want to chat more often on the 'news feed'. We can motivate one another!0 -
I've decided to just count today as day 2 even though I started at the beginning of the week. It will be easier if I'm on target with the days of the month! Anyway, todays 20 min DONE! I'm going to run after the little man is in bed tonight...I'm trying to get to a steady 8 min mile so will run the first mile for time and then do intervals on the treadmill. Then looking to do lots outside this weekend...maybe a trip to the zoo, taking my son to the park, and probably a walk in the forest preserve or state park. And of course 20 min with Jillian.0

Hi, all!
Today was Day 7 of Level One.
I definitely feel my cardio endurance improving and some of the strength moves have me needing more weight to feel challenged--- yay!
But.
(Not really asking for advice, just something I'm keeping my eye on:)
Today and yesterday I am noticing 'sensation' in my knees and ankles. Not exactly pain, kind of sore or tired. I am used to running and yoga and it's different from any soreness I get with those. The first several days I didn't notice anything, so it's not like it was from new movement... I am a stickler for form, so I don't think it's that.
I think it might be the daily repetition of the movement--- jumping jacks, lunges, squats....Maybe overuse or too much impact.
Anyone else feeling this?

Lizzy, yoga is great. I enjoy yoga, and plan to do yoga before 30 Shred shred. Today will be my first day of shred, Tuesday and Thursday will be my shred days. What yoga dvds do you use?0 -
I guess everyone will be happy to know that I did not give up today:happy: ... instead I did a 360 and I feel great. Just hope I don't run into anymore weight gaining... it makes me feel horrible even though that is silly. I did 30ds today and I did my regular cardio- even tried some new machines at the gym. I was satisfied when I left the gym today! I am not calculating the 20 minute workout anymore... I feel as though everything is inaccurate. Any thoughts on that? I am also very very painfully sore where I do not even want to walk... is that normal?!0

Good going Hmlayman, way to stay active with variety. It will help keep you from being bored. A lot of people are using a heart rate monitor to know how many calories are burned. I haven't used one but it may be worth looking into.0 -
Did day 5 today, but I was pretty lazy with it I am having an off day today with everything... But, at least I did it, right? 0
