I'm going to be doing the 10 days, but depending on my training schedule, if I have a session with my trainer, I may or may not do 30DS on that particular day. After the 10 days I will take a rest day then move on to the next level.

How will everyone be logging this? I was thinking of just putting it under circuit. What are your thoughts on that? Did anyone else have any other ideas?

Hi everyone, really looking forward to doing this again!

I am definitely planning on rest days in between, I have done the ten days of level 1 straight through before and it was tough! I am thinking maybe a rest day every 5 days, depending on how I feel. That should mean it takes me 12 days to do level 1 which I hope i can handle!

Anytime I have done it before I log it as circuit training but I'm open to other suggestions!

Favourite part? Masochist that I am.... jumping jacks & jump rope!! Just because first time I did this DVD (before fracturing my ankle last Easter) I found them both excruciating. I cannot do a single push up at all... so modified it stays! As for Jillian, I love her no nonsense attitude! "I have 400lb people who can do jumping jacks, so can you'. Love it!

I'm planning to alternate between 30DS and ripped in 30. Is that ok? And might do it every other day depending on schedule. I also do swimming once a week, spinning and Bikram yoga once a week. I also do weight lifting with heavy weights.

I wasn't sure what the frequency was designed to be so this is helpful! I honestly don't think I could even do two days back to back as I did my first session yesterday and could hardly walk up the stairs today - yes, I am out of shape! Starting again tomorrow and I'll try to keep it going for at least 5 with a rest day!

I like the jumping jacks, I struggle with those side lunges with the weights!

Whoop I've done day 1 phew.

Did have to take the occasional few seconds break and couldn't use weights for them all as I've only 4kg weights and they were too heavy at times

But 1 day down.

Love it, Think it will be a great work out for maintance when reaching goal weight. wasn't too bad for me , although i'm only using 0.5kg weights (have hms and my all joints dislocate) I think i could go up to about 1kg without killing them! I think it gets easier at about day 5 I enjoyed it

29 days to go(:

Just done the first day! Wasn't too hard, so looking forward to completing it. The only thing is that my weights aren't heavy enough they are 2.5lbs so sometimes it felt like I wasn't doing much and I can't afford to buy heavier ones in the next 30 days.. oh well I will just have to make do, more than made up for it in the cardio though! I also struggle with the push ups, I can only do proper ones for the first round and only just, how did other people find them?

Day one is dooone. Made the mistake of starting out with too heavy weights and had to switch half way through!
I'm planning on doing this 5 days a week combined with my other work outs.
Well done everyone! We got this.

Day 1 done!

I started a couple of days early so yesterday should have been my day 3 but had to take a rest day. I could hardly move, coming down stairs was painful and awkward. Ended up doing yoga for the first time ever and and that really helped loosen everything up.

Anyone else struggling to get through the cardio sections without stopping?

Day 1 done last night. My legs don't work properly today! ! Lots of walking and stretching today. Will be day 2 tomorrow. Might have an extra protein shake before bed to help repair muscles

Got up early to do day 2 and now I just want to go back to bed! I hate the first circuit lots. Especially the jumping jacks/jump rope combo. I feel so out of breath after that it's unbelievable!

Day 2 done. Seemed a bit easier? Maybe my imagination lol
