    AnnaBell,

    If you are not already active while you wait, I would "warm up" for this by doing some walks or walk/run sessions. At least it would give you a head start to get ready for what's coming.

    Mommasamfa, I'm sore as well. I completed day 2 today. I could hardly get up this morning. My body was hurting, especially my thighs. It is also hard to squat when I go the restroom. What keeps me going is thinking that perhaps it will get easier by day 5.

    Oddly you will wake up sore tomorrow, but you won't feel it so much in your workout. You'll be able to dip deeper into your lunges, kick a little higher, stay squatting lower. Its pretty great. My neck hurts (not just sore) from the ab routines. I have a weak neck though.

    Day 3, level 2 done, did better than yesterday's level 2, but I really get concerned with this grinding popping noise in my knee so I modify a few things . . .still plenty of sweat and plenty of burn!

    Could the neck be from the abs routine? I try to imagine holding an apple with my chin, so that I don't push my chin to my chest. Abs are tough.

    I modify a lot too. Although they say it's good to push yourself, I try to settle for pushing myself the best I can. I know with time I will gain strength and it will get easier.

    I did it one time on March 1, 2011 and I was so sore yesterday that I didnt even workout and now I'm real scared of that dvd. Maybe I'm still to big. I weigh around 295 and maybe I'm just not ready for that level of workout. I can do all the jumping jacks, but I cant do a single push up (not even the girl ones) It all looks so easy, but boy oh boy it sure does kick your butt. :smile: GOOD LUCK to all of you! Keep up the good work. Much respect to all that get though it.

    I have always imagined holding an apple with my chin. It's the tension of keeping it in that position though.

    I can barely go all the way down with a pushup. I just do the best I can, the rest will come. You will be sore if a workout is working you. If you're not sore, there's something wrong. You have to make sure that you're working muscles in a different way than normal. Your body has stayed the same weight it is now because it is used to the movements you're doing.

    Day 3 Level 1 done. I still feel like I've been hit by a truck today, but just a smaller truck than yesterday! :)

    Advice please! I'm due to do day 3 (level 1) this evening. Whatever muscle it is you work when doing press-ups are killing me. I can barely lift my arms. So I'm thinking I'll do some extra sit-ups or something in place of the press-ups. I should be OK to do the other arm exercises. Is this sensible? My calves are also aching but I figure that sort of thing you should just work through. What do you think? I don't want to be wimping out at this early stage!

    Hi everyone, I've been shredding the past week (today is Level 1 day 7 for me) and I have been finding it pretty tough so far! I have struggled to do the pushups and the first set of cardio all the way through and so I substitute a set of jumping jacks with the squat punches and swap them into the second set and I find this a lot easier on my poorly knees! I'm feeling so much stronger now I've done day 6 you can really notice the difference in my wobbly bits (i have many, lol)

    For all the beginners I could hardly walk the first couple of days due to the burning pain in my thighs but this went away by day 4 and my legs feel so much stronger and toned already. I started logging 30DS as circuit training but when I wore my heart monitor yesterday (day 6) I apparently burned 475 calories so I was under reporting it significantly and I am now going to wear my hrm every workout.

    I'm looking forward to moving onto level 2 on monday after the 10 days because I feel I'm getting ready. The only thing I would say is I've got pretty sore knees at the moment because I haven't been doing enough stretches after the workout so I'm definately going to do more stretches tonight!

    Happy shredding everyone :)

    I'm the same, I just worked through it, wasn't as bad as I expected, considering I could hardly walk or pick up my son without wincing lol xx
