    I have been doing the 30DS for about a week now. Its a great workout. The first time I did it, it kicked my butt. And my legs and thighs were so sore the day after I had to take a break for that day. I was still in pain the 2nd day after but I did the 30DS again and just pushed through the pain. My legs were atill a little sore after but i've continued to do it on a daily basis and now my legs only hurt after the work out and it wears off after an hour or so of walking around. Don't over do it! And definitely take a break if you need to. Jillian Michaels is INTENSE, but i've had many tell me they saw results once they finished. Good luck to you!!

    I will do it since my other strength training dvd isn't working. Only problem is days 28 and probably 29 I will be on the road (making a 20 hour trip with 2 kids a dog and a cat..fun). We will see though. I might be able to do it in the hotel room before we head off for the day :)

    I started last week as well. It has been good. It totally kicked my butt the first couple days and now I can breathe through the exercises and my endurance is a hundred times better already. We had been on holidays right before I started the 30DS and this week I lost ALL 5 pounds that I gained on holidays. YAY! I have already seen inches (or parts thereof) being lost on my waist, hips, and arms.

    I am going to start my second round of 30DS tomorrow too! My first round I managed it every day for over 30 days and it was brilliant at shaping up my body!

    This time around I will be doing it along side my Lean month of Chalean Extreme so hoping for some amazing results!

    Good luck ladies! :)

    I would love to join. I just actually got the dvd and have only used once so far...

    How was the first day for everyone? I did mine first thing after breakfast so I wouldn't make any excuses not to get it done.
    It was a quick reminder how out of shape I am but the hurt afterwards is so worth it. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.

    Great job to all of us that started today!

    I just saw this post and would love to join in as of tomorrow - I could definitely use a bit of a change with my workouts (or lack of workouts!!). At least the 30 Day Shred leaves me no excuses about not having enough time to do it.

    First day went well! You know...I was talking all big and bad in my blog about how it didn't hurt that bad - well, my legs are already starting to feel the soreness, yikes! Thank goodness I have off tomorrow to re-cooperate!

    Ooh, I was just searching the community to see if anyone wanted to do a 30DS challenge starting this week! I have just about 30 days before I leave for the Carribean and could reeeeeaaallly use the help shaping up, especially since I'm leaving the day after Thanksgiving! I'm going to go by the store and pick up a DVD tonight, then I'll be right here with you!

    I started this today. But I'm curious as to how you're tracking it for exercise.

    I put it under circuit training, general

    Question - do you all do other cardio/ST in addition to the 30DS? I noticed that 20 mins of "circuit training, general" burns about 120 calories (for me). Which, 7 days a week isn't too shabby, but I like to burn a little more than that. But I keep hearing that everyone is so sore and can barely move, let alone do more exercise.

    Thoughts from those of you who have started?

    I do 10-20 minutes of kick boxing and the first level of the 30DS

    Was Day 2 pure torture for anyone else? My legs, arms, back, sides and *kitten* are all extremely sore! I can't believe I managed to make it through it...and then when my roommate requested I do a little Zumba with her, I obliged - I'm a crazy person, or at least my thighs think so. I start my first day tomorrow student teaching in a Kindergarten room, they'll keep me on my feet and moving. This should be painful, lol

    I like to do additional cardio with the 30DS. I'm sure others do ST as well, but I'm a total pansy and couldn't handle it. I like to add in the extra cardio because i'm really looking for a lot of fat burn.

    I'm jumping on this bandwagon first thing early tomorrow morning. Just watched the vid and can't wait!

    Just started this morning, so I'm a couple of days behind. First impressions? I really liked it, but it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Not that it wasn't tough! I was sweating buckets, and had to to the side-lunge thingees without weights because my arms were screaming! But I wasn't tempted to quit, and I'm feeling good now - no shaky muscles or anything! I was really proud of doing 10 "man pushups" before switching to girlie style both times. Going to try and up that number every few days until I can do the whole set.

    So what's everyone's favorite/least favorite part? I didn't like Circuit 1 (thank goodness it's over with at the beginning!) but the punch-cardio and the chest flies were fun! and I looove spending only 3 minutes on abs!

    Day 2. Day 1 kicked my *kitten* big time. But today was a little easier. My legs were really sore all last night and this morning and I felt like jello after doing it yesterday. But today I can actually bend my knees again! Lol.

    Day 1 went well- only a little cheating during the kicking my own butt part. My legs are getting more sore as the day goes on, but I'm excited to do this again tonight!

    I'm gearing up for day 3. my least favorite part is the jumping jacks. I'm rather large chested and seriously....do they make sports bras made of steel? I'm having to keep one arm across my chest to keep them down and unfortunately that's not the only part of me that's bouncing :huh:

    my favorite part is the chest flies.

    i struggle really hard through the bicycle thing at the end but just bc by then my legs and abs are b u r n i n g !

    @ avocado - i'm wondering how your body will feel tomorrow. the first day seemed ok to me, too, but the next day i was so sore. however, i'm probably more out of shape than you are :blushing:

    So, this is easier than when I first tried this over a month ago. I haven't been doing it steadily until now...I'm pushing myself more...and wanting to kick Jillian's *kitten* by the end...but I feel so good. Muscles hurt, but I'm pushing through :) Burnt 277 calories doing it today :)

    Keep up the good work ladies!!!
