    I just started! Today was day 3 of Level 1!! I am also excited to stick with it for the month and see what I can do. I noticed that my arm and core strength is horrible. I can't do regular push ups, and can't do too many of the modified ones either, also the last section of strength training with the side lunges and arms KILL me i have to put the weights down half way through and just do the side lunge.

    I just started the 30DS today! I've been thinking about it for ages but my trainer has now gone out of town for almost a month and I think I need something to keep me motivated every single day. I will also be doing classes at my gym (muscle conditioning circuits, yoga core strength) and some straight cardio (I can only run about 30 minutes on the treadmill at a time at about 5-5.5mph) as well so I can't wait to see the results! Good luck!

    I did level 1 day 3 today. Those push ups are hard! I think it's getting a bit easier though!

    I just finished day 2 of level 1 as well today. I think I typically imagine myself being fat & how much I hate it & so I punch my frustrations out then. Happy to have found a group that is on the same shred days as myself. This will make it more fun!

    I've started 30 DS before and about a week in I always quit. I am starting again tonight and going to finally finish it! I'm wondering if just doing 30 DS as my workout will be enough though. I only have about ten more pounds to lose...any opinions?

    I can't honestly say. I'm a big cardio junkie. So I still go to the gym 3-4x a week and do some cardio and I also so shoulder press, chest press, leg press etc. But even though I am only 2 days in I can clearly see some new definition in my arms in spots there was none before. I've heard that the 30 DS is not really good when it comes to helping you lose weight. Some people do obviously, but you lose more inches and get definition in your muscles i.e. "tone up"

    I'm on day 8 of level 1 over 10 days. I wanted to do it for 30 days straight, but time hasn't cooperated. I don't know that I can SEE any difference, but I can now do the whole workout without resting and, most obvious to me, I can use weights for all of those miserable straight lifts with side lunges! My goal is to be able to use 5lb weights for them instead of 3lb. (I use 5lb weights for the rest of the workout.) It's nice to see a group of folks determined to finish!

    I'm doing this in addition to my 10,000 steps that includes at least 30 minutes of vigerous exercise as determined by my Fitbit.

    I just started today... I'm like a lot of you, I have started a few times before but have never got past the first 10 days! From others posts, and my own results.... Definitely defines and helps you lose inches. I am determined to do it this time!!! Good luck and thanks to everyone for the motivation!!!

    I hate those lunges!!! Those are by far the worst. By the time I get there I just want to throw the weights at her face, and then pray that she says "ok and just two more".
