How's everyone doing so far? , I've noticed my arms don't get sore as much and I hardly stop , day 5 today

I am on day 5 as well. My arms are not as sore as they were when I first started but I think tmr I'm going to start switching to a little bit higher weights with some of the arms like for my biceps and chest Flys I think theyre called im going to use 10 lbs. And then im going to start doing the full pushup. Maybe you need to add a bit more weight? Keep up the good work!

I need some group support otherwise I know I won't keep going!!

If anyone wants to add me and we can message that'd be great. But the group page here with daily blogging and what not is a great idea too.

Today was day 2 for me. I've done it before and made it through Lv2 but never completed the full 30 days. I'm sore, but not as much as I expected. My pecs and arms are definitely the most sore! I'm using 3lb weights for most of the exercises but used 5lbs today for flys. I'm going to use 5lbs tomorrow for the bicep curls as well. I want to make it to 5lbs for all of them, but the arterial raises with the side lunge KILLS ME.

As for counting calories: I use a chest heart rate monitor because I have a heart murmur and I need to watch my heart rate during cardio anyway. My monitor says I burn approximately 230 calories during Lvl1 right now (I'm 5'2 and 158lbs), so if that helps anyone.

That's great! Ya I took two days off but im back at it at level 1. Day 6 for me. I tried using 10 lbs weights for the biceps but my form was so bad that I switched back to 5 lbs. But I did us the 10 lbs for the Flys. I also did full pushup for one of the sets so that was an improvement! I know this anterior raises are so hard! I don't know how those girls do it on the vid! Haha

Just finished day 1. Bring it on!!!

day 4 here of level 1. My HRM said I burned 118 calories, but I am doing the beginner's 30day shred. Arms are sore but I was able to do more dips today than yesterday.

I find the push ups and dips the hardest. I have no upper body strength.

I am on day 2 and love the 30DS this will be my 4th time and finished them all .This is mt favorite workout DVD:)

Just finished day 7, level 1. no rest in between so tomorrow will definately be a rest day. My fear is that if I don't do it every day, I'll never go back, You guys will have to kick my butt Monday am. Hope everyone has a fabulous day

Hey everyone! I just did Day 5. I'm a little behind because I ended up taking 3 days off this week. Life got in the way.

I've managed to up my weights to 5lbs for everything except the anterior raises and rows (3lbs for those still) and 8lbs for the fly's (my overall favorite strength exercise). I'm still doing the "easy" pushups, but increasing amount so that's a plus I think.


Does anyone else use a HR monitor? And if so, what does your "burn" say? Mine says I'm burning approximately 230 on Level 1. Now, I do have a heart murmur and my heart rate is higher than normal, so I end up with a pretty high burn rate for most activities, but I'm wondering just how much higher it is in comparison.

Just to compare: My avg HR on this level is 144 but keep in mind my resting HR just sitting here doing nothing is approximately 95-99.

Day 7 today! I find that my endurance has increased a bit and I find myself doing more of the advanced moves now. Just wish I could do those anterior raises with the lateral lunges. That is the hardest move for me! Keep up the good work everyone!

I complete understand!! I canNOT get those darn anterior raises. I've actually started doing them with just one 3lb weight, both hands holding it. Manage to get most of the way through the exercise. Then when my arms just can't handle it, I just do the lunges for a few reps and start the arms again.
