    I need some motivation to stick with this as well. I keep starting and then getting sidetracked. Doing it tonight after class! :drinker:

    So I have a question.... We are supposed to do this same video every day for 30 days? No days off? Ok, then we just move to the next level whenever we are ready and when we hit day 30 in a row, then we made it? I assume the thought is to be at level 3 before day 30?

    I watched the video last night and I'm mostly excited about the strenth and ab work. I'm at the point now where I really need to kick that up. Prob is that I did a really tough workout yesterday so I'm sore this morning LOL! Not so sore I can't move, but I can definetly feel that my muscles were stressed. Now to start this should be interesting. Bummer that my kids are up already, so I guess I'll have to wait till nap time to do it. I hope it's okay to do this in addition to my regular 60 min workout (today will be the elliptical).

    One more question. Are we tracking in this thread or is there somewhere else?

    I think the idea is to do Level 1 for 10 days then move on to Level 2 for 10 days then complete level 3 for 10 days. That give you the total 30 days in the 30 day shred. If you have the ability to do both work outs, I don't see why you can't. As to your last question, you will need to track this in your exercise, this thread is more for motivation and accountability that you did it and how you are succeeding or if you need a little encouragement.

    Good luck!!

    Day one! Whew! That was hard and I am sweating like a man and loving every minute of it. I think that the side lunge with the front raise is actually the hardest for me next to the lunge with biceps curl. What about you guys? How did you do and what's the hardest for you?

    Full range of motion was hard for me. I'm over 40, over 300 lbs, and felt brittle as an old christmas tree. Every joint popped and groaned and I had to modify the hell out of every move. I'm a little afraid to do the jumping jacks so I just jogged/marched in place. Getting up and down off the floor is hard. I did push ups off my desk instead of the ground. I couldnt do the quad stretch at all, I cant reach behind me to grab my hands let alone my foot.

    But I did it. I'm sweaty. I moved! Time for water :D

    Okay I did it! I completed level 1 day 1. That was very hard. The hardest for me are the push ups. I had to do the modified ones. I'm hoping to be able to do the real push ups not on my knees by the end of this. Good luck to everybody! :)

    I'm in!! This is the perfect thread for me. I just bought the dvd and started it 11/21. The push ups are the hardest for me so far. I do the modified version and still feel like those are killer.

    Day one done! Holy cow was that hard, the jumping jacks and jump rope are the hardest for me. My knees were popping and grinding but hopefully these moves will strengthen them. I just had a question does anyone know how to log that onto the exercise log? Do you just list it under cardio? please let me know.

    Hey guys, I just did my first day (I'm counting it as on the 24th though seeing as I haven't slept yet). I like it, its tough on my knees do to me having a twisted tibia and fibia. Its not bad though, definitely good for me starting from 0.

    So my exercise plan on here says I should be exercising 30 min a day but with the 30 day burn it is only 20min. so my question is, is anyone else in this same situation and are you working out a second time each day to meet your exercise goal or do you feel that the 30 day burn video is enough for one day (because to be honest I am sore).

    Day two was hard! Especially since I went out last night and drank. I never do that but wasn't going to let anything get in my way of finishing this thing. Wanna know why? Because I knew I had you guys to back me!

    Good job! I'm proud of you! I know it isn't going to be easy but listen to what she says in the video. She has people just like you who are doing the jumping jacks. Give it time and you will get there!

    What kind of exercise do you count it as when you log it?

    I log it as 20 minutes circuit training on MFP - just got a new Polar FT7 heart monitor and the results are very similar (HR monitor is slightly higher when adjusted for BMR calories).
