    L1D10 is complete. I felt great doing todays work out. I think its because I know tomorrow we are moving on to L2 and it will be something different. I am scared to weigh myself or take measurements because TOM is creeping around the corner and I am a bloater a few days before, but we will see. Still considering taking a rest day but I probably wont.


    YEAH!!!!!! LETS KEEP IT GOING.


    10 DAYS DOWN 20 TO GO

    Wow, did L1D2, can barely walk. Amazingly, I was able to do almost everything even though it was hard. I pushed through it and I'm fine! Now let's see what tomorrow brings (if I can get up out of bed)

    I'm on day 3 level 1 and my butt and quads are really tight and sore. I expected my upper body to hurt much more.

    Decided to go ahead and start level 2 tonight. I seriously thought I was going to pass out at one point, but I pushed through it. My arms are BURNING. I'm sure I'm going to be sore tomorrow! So I guess I'm technically day L1D8. Hoping to get up and do level 2 again tomorrow if I feel up to it!

    Ran 4 miles this morning before work, and did L1D8 this evening after work. I take one day off when I do my long runs, but I felt exhausted Monday after work, so I just came home and rested, so I'm an extra day behind on 30DS. It's all good, though :) I'm looking forward to moving on to Level 2 on Sunday!

    Good job, everyone!!

    L1D10 tonight and I was really dragging...but I was able to do regular push-ups for the first set tonight! Really didn't feel like I had the energy to do it tonight but pushed through anyway and even did most of it without the modifications, Yeah! Level 2 and weigh in tomorrow!

    L1D9...except I did level 2 again this morning. I hate mornings, but I actually felt pretty good today! I think I'm definitely going to be sore later. Level 2 seems to really target your arms and upper body!

    D2L2 done this morning! Things are still difficult, I can make my way through the first circuit decently but my shoulders hate me and my balance is crap for the leg extension/shoulder press thingy you do in circuit 3. D10 technically complete! The double crunches are rough but still loving Jillian as usual! Rock on ladies!

    i missed my day 10 but still got plenty of exercise yesterday (3 hours of mowing, 1 hour bike ride and 2 hours of washing my truck lol) so i'm going to do day 10 today and move on to level 2 tomorrow. unless i get up the courage to just go to level 2 today, guess i'll have to see how much more difficult it is.

    So I did day 3 of Level 2 yesterday. I slipped when I was doing the plank obilque twists. I fell and hurt my shoulder. I got back up after a second and finished, but I was hard to sleep last night. I am still going to do my workout tonight, but I will probably have to do some KT tape to help with my shoulder.
    I am almost halfway done!!! It's hard to believe I have gotten this far.
    After this, I am going to try Ripped in 30, then try to do the 30DS again but try to match Natalie for everything. Lets hope its doable.

    Did L2D1 this morning! Burned 335 calories @ took sooooooooooo many breaks! I'm thinking this must be A LOT harder, because I burned way more calories & took way more breaks?

    Late start for the august group or me. But i did L1D2 today, been avoiding it for hours because my arms and legs ached from day one, but finally got around to it and powered through was not as bad as i expected with the aching muscles to be honest! I can really feel it working on my arms and abs =D Can't wait until i start seeing results.

    Took some before pictures and measurements yesterday. i'm hoping for some real improvements by the end of this if i can stick to it. Going on holiday on day 30! bring on the bikini body!!!! (hopefully)

    Just did L1D4 - STILL can't do the cardio without breaks... I blame the fact the backs of my lower legs were KILLING me (any ideas, ladies?) and I have a tiny lung capacity... :P So I only logged it as 15 minutes. :)

    I suspect I'll be doing L1 for 20-odd days before my legs get the hang of it!

    i did L1D3 last night and i noticed that the jumping jacks weren't quite as tough as they have been.
    i also swapped out my 3 lb. weights for 5 lbs weights.
    definitely felt the burn.

    will do D4 tonight, but i must admit that it's still pretty tough for me...
    i.will.persevere.

    Did L1D10 last night!

    Did the cardio without any breaks for the FIRST TIME! So happy. And bf noticed I was doing better. And holy crapamoley I even did the side lunge arm raises without stopping. Never done that cos they are too hard.

    since i missed day 10 i decided to just go on to day 1 of level 2....woooo doggy that's a whole another ballpark!! she really likes that plank position huh lol.

    am i the only one that finds jillian to be really encouraging and supportive? lol and funny a lot of times. i see so many people saying she's annoying and what not..

    oh and i am down 3.6lbs and 2.8 inches overall so far!

    I didn't get the workout in yesterday (TOM) and it really wiped me out. Did get in this AM before work...tomorrow is L1D10 and then off to L2. I am excited to move on to new exercises. 10 days of the same thing gets a little boring for me.

    Level 1 is available on Exercise TV On Demand, but no level two. Hopefully I can mooch off of the free level 1 all 30 days and still see results! I don't normally like to do the same workout day after day, but I'm making an exception because I REALLY felt it from the first workout more than anything else I've ever done (that was the closest I ever came to puking from exercise!). So I'm committing to at least this one 25 min workout every day for 30 days and if I manage to throw in an extra workout, a yoga or something later in the day, great. If not, then I feel confident that I'm getting a major workout just from the shred session.

    Make some of the moves more difficult:
    push-ups: if you are doing knees then go to your toes; or do a wider stance with your feet or knees and your hands right under your chest.
    chest-rows/ chest fly: move up in weight
    punches: add some weights

    YOu can make this more difficult so you get more of a workout after you finish Level1.
    Just some suggestions.

    Day 11

    Level 2 / Day 5 Complete

    My breathing is a lot more controlled now. I'm getting better with my plank positions and form in general. This level was exciting at first but I'm starting to get bored. :( I'm gonna keep at it though.

    L2D1 complete. The plank moves are complicated but I got through all the cardio except the jump rope one, it really hurts my knee's. I also notice this is alot of upper body because my arms are shakey. And man did I sweat it out. This level seemed longer. And Anita, Natalie and Jullian were all sweating. Level one just seemed easy to them which was annoying.

    So I didnt weigh my self this morning but took some quick measurments and have lost a total of 2.8 inches. Nothing in my waist though that is the same. It is mostly in my legs.
