    Lvl 1 Day 9 is complete! Holy crap, tomorrow is the last day on Lvl 1. I think I might miss it a little :laugh:

    I haven't so much as peeked at level 2 because I don't want to fret about it.

    Trust me, don't look until you start it. I wouldn't have started it if I knew what it was. Better to just go in blind and hope for the best. I cursed JM the whole time. "You want me to do WHAT?! Are you INSANE?! Crazy b!tc#!" I think my husband gets a kick out of listening to me. He only wanted to lose 5-7 pounds and has already done it. He said he'd join me in the last week or so to tone up a little bit. He really thinks he's going to start on level 3. That's just adorable. She'll make him cry.

    I'm thrilled with this video! I started off not being able to do a push up on my knees and now can easily do plenty (still on my knees - but a huge improvement!) I am on day 12 and have had to skip 2 days due to neck problems. I am doing this while training for a 7 mile race in August. Today i ran a little over 3 miles in 30 minutes and will do level 2 of the dvd very soon!

    This is my second day of of level 2, and man is it hard!

    Ok I LMAO at this. :laugh: :laugh: Only because I was so ready to move on to Level 2 after 10 days of L1 and I almost started crying 1/2 way through the first day of it. I was all, why are you being so mean, Jillian??? :sad: :sad: :sad:

    I just made my own catagory (30 Day Shred - Level 1) and then use my HRM to gauge calories burned. Otherwise, you can log it under Circuit Training.

    D4L1 Complete. This time my husband did it with me. Just watching him sprawl on the floor was enough incentive to keep me going. :laugh: He got up and completed it though. He was slightly surprised at how much it works you but he didn't complain, just laid there for awhile after we were done. We'll see how he does tomorrow :bigsmile:

    I'm on Day 6, Level 1. Things have gotten A LOT easier! Except the side lunge w/ arm raises (stupid 5lb weights!)
    I can't do push-ups (not even when i was super skinny as a kid) So I just hold myself in the plank position the whole time.

    I bought an HRM today! Yay for the Polar FT4! =) .... I started it before and after, and it said I burned 310 calories for 26 minutes.... Not sure how it was 26 minutes, but that's okay =)

    Hahaha, that's not encouraging you two :P That's basically the way I feel though - no peeking that way I can't worry about it. It's more fun and less nerve-wracking to just jump right in!

    I agree. DO NOT look. It's something you can't take back LOL! After I watched level 2 and 3, I was wondering if I should just do level 1 for 15 days, and then level 2 for 15 days and that's it =P

    Good idea for a modification!!

    Arg! :angry:

    The scale HATES me. +2 lbs since last Friday. I doubt it's muscle this time. Dammit!

    It's your muscles holding water since they are stressed. trust the tape measure:smile:

    Tape measure hates me too.

    Yeah, I know. I just finished day 12. Scale isn't moving, tape isn't moving. Well, the scale has moved just the tiniest bit this week. A half pound if anything. I think a big difference is that I'm staying hydrated. Before starting this I was lucky to get 5-6 glasses of water in a day. Now I'm getting 7-8 because I down a huge glass as soon as I'm done. I'm less dehydrated when I get up in the morning. So I know I'm losing fat instead of losing and gaining the same water weight every day.

    Just take a look at yourself and see if you can find any difference. My calves are really starting to look good. I have two noticeable cuts. Someone else noticed definition in her shoulders. Look for something positive, ANYTHING positive. And hold onto it. When it's time to work out I look at my calves, and then my tummy. And then I press "play."

    It's 26 minutes with the warm up and cool down. My HRM has always said this.

    Another mod is to do push ups on the wall while standing up. Then you will probably be able to do them with your knees bent on the floor after awhile.
