I'm on L1 - D5 of 30DS and it just doesn't feel difficult enough. I mean, some of the moves burn, but I'm not getting sore muscles from them. Should I go ahead and move up to level 2?

    I did about 5 days as well and started to "not feel it" anymore so today I am moving to Level 2. As a matter of fact, I actually did a different dvd to change it up a few days ago. I did Jackie Warner's circuit training with weights 40 minute routine and was burning and sore for 2 days afterward so that's when I knew I had to go to the next level w/ 30 DS.

    How heavy are the weights you are using? I started each level with 3lbs and moved up to 5lbs when I found it was getting too easy (usually 5 days with lighter weights, 5 days with heavier). I'm just thinking that if you move on to level 2 you might find you get bored of the program before the 30 days are over. I'd suggest changing weights instead of levels for now :)

    Are you going off the video? That's great you're not sore and me thinks it's about ramping up not over extending your body in the beginning. I like the 30 day plan. Personally, I try to avoid injuries b/c then I can't do a thing or keep up w/ my 3 children- :wink:

    I stopped feeling L1 after about 5 days as well. I moved on to L2 and I am glad I did! I was getting bored of L1 too. L2 is pretty difficult and way more like-able than L1! If you're bored already or feel like you're not getting a good workout, move on to L2. You can always come back to L1 later. I came back to L1 later when I didn't feel like working as hard using L2/L3.

    Thanks for all the input! I'm currently using 5lb weights for everything except the side lunge w/shoulder raise (I use 3 lbs on that one because those muscles are my weak ones!). I'm not sure I want to up the weights to anything beyond 5 lbs. If I move onto Level 2, I'll stay there for around 15 days (give or take). In all honesty, I've had this 30DS video for such a long time, but I've never done it beyond 21 days. With that being said, my body is so used to L1 and I'm extremely bored with it!
