    I'm on day 15. (well, just finished) Lvl 2 is getting better but my problem is I'm SO BORED! I knew it would be an issue starting this but it's making it a real struggle to do the workouts.
    Any suggestions? I'm halfway done so I won't quit but 15 more days of the Same ol', same ol' sounds horrible. :o/

    Attempt lv 3, if you can do it, pick on the day which level you want to do. change it up a bit. recommend playing motivational music over the top if you know whats being said. I pick Infernal, bit dancy. :flowerforyou:

    Several people here have said they mute Jillian and put in their own music to just follow along.
    I tend to do one day on, one day off...it allows me to do elliptical/walks/other aerobics at the gym/rest.
    Hope you can find a way to make things work :happy:

    I'm on Day 3, Level 3. I got bored during Level 2, no idea why, just found it tedious I think. Pushed on through and Level 3 is much better (harder, but not so high on the boredom scale lol).

    I don't have anything to play music on over the top, so I think I just zone out the commentary and focus on the moves. I work so hard in Level 3 that it seems to be over relatively quickly, even though it's the same length as the other levels.

    I have re-found the muscles in my arms, and I was so proud the other day. They haven't grown lol they just don't have so much fat hiding them anymore! :) Everything is slowly tightening up.

    It's a fast day today for me, so just the 30DS this morning and a 3km walk, and I should get stuck into work... but I'm ignoring the paperwork and reading the internet instead ;)

    A big problem for me was hearing Jillian explaining why we work the small muscles with the big ones every day.... It gets very boring very fast. Half way through lvl 2 my boyfriend started complaining about my working out so I had to mute the sound and I was very surprised to see that not only was it less annoying but it even felt like it went by faster! I didn't play any music ... just the sound of me grunting, jumping and breathing hard somehow made me concentrate and feel better.

    I'm probably one of the weird ones who isn't sick of Jillian's talking. I still get motivated. Like when she says keep going were almost there. In order to see changes you need to challenge your body. Etc. I'm usually at the giving up point for the move so I hop back to it and keep going.

    You got this! Chug that brew and hop to it lady! I read somewhere that people are 50-70% more likely to workout once they have their workout clothes on. Maybe just throw them on first thing in the morning?

    Just finished Day2 Level 1. I'm being lame and doing every other day until I feel like my knee can handle all the jumping. I did better today than on the first day for sure. Now for some breakfast. HRM says I burned 229 calories.

    I think the pace/vibe of 30DS is quite slow compared to Jillian's other DVDs. You could try 6 Week 6 Pack? It's really quick-paced, maybe that would get you going? No time for boredom.... ! :)
