Hello everyone!! I am on D4L1 and It is getting easier to do the workout. My problem?? trying to walk down stairs or sit on anything that is low (like the toilet) PLEASE tell me that this soreness that I feel in my thighs when trying so hard to keep my balance while doing these everyday things does get better that obvisely before 4 days ago I took advantage of being able to do. LOL. Saw where you all were talking about the weights you are using. I use 2 lb weights and they seem light. But after what you were talking about it makes me wonder if I should just stay with them or go up a pound or two?
Day 2 & 3 were like that for me. It brought tears to my eyes every time I had to go to the bathroom. Everything hurt so bad! Try a hot bath and some ibuprofen. Trust me, before you know it you won't be sore at all. I finished day 20 today and actually miss being that sore because I knew I worked all sorts of muscles I hadn't used in years. Sick, isn't it? lol Tomorrow I start Level 3 so I'm sure she's going to kill me. Bring it on, JM!0 -
Your post made me LOL. I am on D6L1 and I felt exactly the same way the first 3 days... toilet and stairs KILLED!!! I use 3 lbs weights and they are fine. It gets better. I don't think I'll be moving onto L2 anytime soon, but I don't feel like absolutely dying after this workout anymore! :noway: :bigsmile:0

Arg!
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
Tape measure hates me too.
i just posted but i measured a few days ago and...
yeeeep!!!
my waist has gotten bigger and i was very unhappy about that!! but my hips got smaller....soo idk about that...and my scale hasn't moved since i started
just keep it up because who knows what 30 days will look like...at least that's what i tell myself (when i'm not sore and hiding the video so i don't feel bad lol)
Thank God I'm not the only one, I was getting frustated
I'm on D9L1, and not looking foward to lvl2. I watched it and I was like :O Natalie is tired and sweating!!!! when she never looked tired on lvl 1. :noway:0 -
Well, I did it. Lvl 1 Day 6. I sooooooo didn't want to work out tonight. I sat down on the sofa and tried to knit. But the JM in my head was shouting at me, so I got up and pushed my way through the workout. Glad I did, but that popcorn I had at the movies this evening made it tough on me. Now...I am going to knit guilt-free. (After I get out of the shower0

L1D9 done! Last day of level 1 tomorrow! Looking forward to level 2 but not! Definitely looking forward to the change but not the difficulty! Plus I have a cold which made working out less pleasant than usual :P0

Day 7 Level 1 of 30 DS done.
I went trying on wedding dresses earlier & found mine. Even more determined now.0 -
D3L1 done...much better than yesterday. I'm thinking about muting the TV soon, I already look at the wall instead lol.0
-
D5L1--done!
How long should I wait to switch to level 2? The first 3 days of level 1 left me sore as hell...but that's gone now...and I kind of miss it! haha0 -
Hi everyone! Kind of late to the party for July - but my DVD arrived a couple of days ago and I'm now on D2 of L1 - really feeling it already :laugh:
Determined to see this through to the end - and so grateful that there's a thread I can come compare my trials and tribulations to!0 -
Did my first weigh in since starting the Shred and the scale was up 2 lbs, but also measured. Keeping in mind that my last measurements were about 2 weeks before I started shredding, I lost about 6 inches total. Love it! But Jillian, I still hate you...lol0

I walk alot (mainly on trails in the Forest Preserves) and I also throw some martial arts in there. I think this is what has helped me with the soreness. Don't get me wrong, I have been sore because my body is used to the other exercises which is why I had to switch it up, but not as bad as what some of the other people have mentioned.0 -

I do some spinning (30 minutes) before the dvd. So I'm already warm and it doesn't hurt at all.0 -
Day 10 L1, I measured and I lost 4 cms in total.. That's something!
But I don't think I'm ready for lvl 2.
Am I the only one who hates the static lunge with bicep curl? My ankles can't take it! I'ts the only exercise I can't do completely0 -
D5L1--done!

Some days I also work on my Elliptical Machine for 10 minutes. But other than that, I am strictly the 30DS.0 -
Finished Level 1!!! Today was exceptionally tough! Dumb cold! Onto Level 2 tomorrow!!!0

Skipping the shred today but it is definitely not a rest day. I hiked 7 miles cross country this morning. In the Georgia heat. Even after lunch at McDonald's I still have than a day's calories left.There's no way my legs can take anything more. I really want a shower but I can't convince myself to stand for that long.0

I was wondering the same thing, even asked my husband if I should work out doing other things, riding the stationary bike or some other exercises. he thought the DVD workout was fine. But I am left feeling like I need to be doing something else. I am on D5L1 and the soreness has FINALLY been better today.0 -
Decided to skip Day 10 of Level 1 and just go ahead and start Day 1 of Level 2. All I can say is OMG. That workout was no joke.0

I agree, after the 20 minutes are up, I too feel like I should do something else. It's only 20 minutes (which is a lot when you're doing it), so after it's done I'll go for a walk for a half hour. *shrugs*0 -

After a 7mile hike in the heat i'd definitely clean up no matter how tired I am. How about a nice hot bubble bath? It'd be nice on your tired/sore legs too.0 -
I barely made through day 7 but I dit it!0

D4L1 and it felt awesome today! Someone got me in the mood for yoga so I'm gonna do it in a bit.
Also my cat decided to rub against my more-than-normal sweaty forehead when I was on the floor during it *LOL*0 -
