    Do you do it everyday? The whole DVD?

    I think some people do it everyday and some do it a few times a week, depending on their fitness or goals or time! I'm going to try to do it all 30 days. It will be a challenge for sure. You just have to do one level at a time for 25 minutes or so. You could always do more if you wanted (some people do that once they've done all 3 levels), but you don't have to.

    Alright I have to start tomorrow. I ran 6.5 miles yesterday and my knees are paying for it today. I don't think all of Jillian's squats and lunges would go well. Hopefully everyone has a good workout!

    I'm starting this today, planning on doing it 4-5 days per week and do cycling/walking on the weekends. Hopefully I can stick to it by reporting back to you guys!

    Started Saturday found my knees to be a bit impacted so I will be doing it 3 days a week (T, Th & Sat) for the month of May. On my days off I will be doing 60 minutes on the elipitcal which typically burns 600+ calories for me and 1 Tai Chi class as well as 1 Total Body Fitness class @ my gym which is similar to the 30 day shred but it's a 60 minute class. I also will continue with 60 minutes of reformer based pilates classes T & Th and Sunday is my day of rest (well sort of, I work and am on my feet running around all day Sunday). Can't wait to see the results - I'm ready to be amazed!!!!

    Completed level 1 again today - on track for my 30DS coupled with eliptical & pilates on alternting days! Still finding parts of level 1 challenging - like push ups, I can't yet get through the second round and I'm still on bended knees.

    Hopefully it's not to late to join this challenge? I got through 2months of p90x before my schedule got crazy and I want to give this a try before starting p90again. I thinkI'll try to fit it in everyday along with some time on the treadmil. I plan on starting tomorrow!

    I completed day 5/6 as in 6 on officially but because i had missed a day i guess 5. And all I can say is taking a break does not help!! I hadnt planned to miss a day but my day was too busy and then when i did the work out yesterday I felt i was stuggling more than i had been from just a day missing.

    Has other people who take days out found this??

    I'm on Day Three and today was tough! Hoping it'll all be worth it, I must say I almost didn't put the DVD in this morning, but glad I did!

    I did day 2 yesterday level 1. My arms are so sore today I can barely lift them. Nothing like a little exercise to show how out of shape you really are! I have to push through the pain, I will push through the pain.

    Anybody else feel like their ankle is on a broken hinge? I think it was the jumping jacks. Going to continue on, but OUCH!

    I started on Monday, 5/2 and found you guys today. What great timing!

    I'm used to being sore from workouts, but I'm not used to being sore in so many places. Ouch.

    I started today and was surprised how tough it was - went golfing afterwards and my arms felt like jello on the way home. Looking forward to seeing results!

    Yes! Me too! Its the left one for me, the outer side running up my leg, feels bruised or something. It's not liking the jumping jacks/skipping rope thing that's for sure!

    Day Four today, still can't make it through the first set of cardio without pausing the DVD for 10seconds, then carrying on. Frustrating, hope I can do better soon!

    Just finished Day 3 of level 1. HRM says I burn about 315 to 356 depending on how hard I push through the cardio. I don't do Jillian's jumping jacks/butt kicks and such. I have 46 year old knees and no matter what she says, not everyone can safely do a jumping jack. For cardio I use some HIIT routines from Turbo Fire instead. I get a much higher calorie burn from that.

    2nd day done last night, wasn't nearly as horrifying as the 1st day. My ankle feels a lot less broken too (ha). I feel good today. No weight loo ( obviously, it's only been two days) abd this may be only in my head, but it feels like some of the floppy bits are less...floppy.

    I did Day two yesterday and this morning washing my hair was definatly a struggle. Tonight I am doing straight cardio for a little break. Day 3 on Friday

    Day 2 done -
    Great idea to substitute something else for Jillian's cardio - I only burned 178 the first day I did it (forgot my HRM today) but worked harder today. I might throw in some plyo during the cardio and see if that helps with the burn. Definitely feeling the strengh work, though.

    Finished day 3 of level 1. I can get through the whole 20 minutes w/o stopping. I find the push ups to be the hardest part. Felt a little twingee in my left shoulder after day 2 but took some ibuprofen, rubbed it down w/ Tramuel and iced it so I think I mitigated any damage. After todays push ups and shoulder work, I didn't feel so much discomfort in my shoulder. My ankles are pretty strong so they are not bothering me, but my left knee feels a bit strained, not enough to stop, but just something to be mindful of - don't want any injury.

    Used my HRM and am burning around 360 or so...so much less than the days I'm on th PreCore Eliptical but since I'm doing Pilates on the same days as the 30DB I figure I'm close to the same total at the end of the day.

    Weigh in day is Friday AM for me, so we'll see how this first week measures up on the scale.

    Day 3 workout done at 11:30 last night..... I almost skipped :blushing: but nope. Guilt dragged my butt in front of the TV, and I feel great this morning! Feels like it's getting a little easier to make it through the workout. And Jumping Jack hell doesn't feel so much like a pit of fire anymore lol.
