    So excited that there is a chat for people doing the 30 Day Challenge. I've just started back on this after allowing myself to get considerably out of shape this last year. Day 1 starts tomorrow morning at 5:30a.m yaah!

    I did day 2 today. I started a few days ago and was super sore. Took 2 days off before doing day 2. Great job everyone for stating! We can do it!!

    I just started doing this on Tuesday. I got through Level 1, Day 2 today. As of now, I plan to try to do it every other day or around 3 days a week. Is it set that you do 10 days at each level? I guess I was under the impression, too, that it was 30 days at level 1, 30 at level 2 and so on....

    So glad I stumbled upon this thread to see I am not alone in my achy muscles. My knees don't bother me, but I can absolutely feel it in my arms, abs and shoulders. I just keep telling myself it is a "good" pain :wink:

    Did level 1 day 4 today, and it is getting better for me, doing the easier push ups much better and not as sore . I think it is helping me get stronger, definitely the arm weights are great, but kill me at the same time. Keep it up everyone.

    Really need some motivation to get my butt in gear. Have been making excuses for myself. (i'm tired, pms, kids, the list goes on). I only did level 2 3 days last week, and none so far this week. Ugh, just feeling pretty lazy.

    I read that knee pain can be due to week hips. There's exercising u can look up to strengthen the hips and knees. I found a couple on Pinterest.

    To the person complaining of shin splints - try new shoes. And do yourself a favor and go to a running store that can evaluate your stride properly. I had shin splints for years and years. Turns out I pronate pretty badly. Got a great pair of cross trainers that I use on the treadmill and for Jillian's torture work out DVDs. Have never had a problem since. When I start to feel my shins bug me again, time for a new pair.

    Just found this thread today. I'm doing the beginners 30d shred and I'm on L1, day 4.
    Do you all just do every single day or do you have rest days?
    Anyone else doing the beginner dvd?

    I'm on day 5 of level 2. I still stick to some of the beginner movements and I still pour sweat. I take one day off to rest from all exercise but if you miss more than one, it's ok. I think it's important to just keep moving forward. It really does work though and it's so cool to see how much stronger you become.
