    Clover_23 I have been doing them together, I do 30ds then go straight into 6w6p ( I fast forward through the warmup for 6w6p though and just go right into the workout) I have found getting up first thing and doing it before the kids get up is best for me, otherwise I could talk myself out of it through the day. I try to do 2 days then have 1 day off and so on, but I saw the earlier posts saying it's good to do some other resistance training between Jillian days so I might try that even if it's just for 20 mins. I like the 6w6p dvd best, but I don't want to drop 30ds now that I have started so will see them both through. What I think did help me in seeing physical results was adding in a pair of 0.5kg ankle weights about 2 wks ago. I was finding some of the ab crunches were getting too easy for me, so the ankle weights just added more resistance for me. My hubby has weights and dumbells in the house, I probably use a few different weights throughout the workouts depending on how easy/hard I find them. Hope this helps, I feel like doing this really transformed my shape in such a short space of time, wish I'd figured this out yrs ago! Good luck for your vacation :)

    I just finished doing 5 days of Level 1. I'm not sure when I should move on to level 2 but reading through some of these posts makes me realize I'm definitely not ready lol I am excited for the day I finally will be though!

    I haven't taken any measurements yet. I'll probably do that once I hit day 10

    I'm just doing 10 days each level. I figured a 20 minute workout each day isn't too much. Especially since the only other exercise I'm doing right now is walking.
    Also the day of the month helps me know which day I'm on :P

    I'm in I just started today. I've done it all the way through before years ago. Thought I was going to die. I want to really push myself to stick to it this time. I've started and stopped before. I have some post baby pudge to lose.

    Level 2 is seriously kicking my butt. I'm dripping sweat after, you'd think I had a cup of water thrown at me. This weeks weigh in I gained two pounds and I'm hoping its just water retention. I was only a pound away from hitting my first goal weight :(

    Could be muscle too! Keep up the great work! I attempted lvl 2 yesterday but had to keep stopping because of the sweat on my hands. Doesn't work well with tile floor lol

    Really did not want to do my workout today but powered through it because I knew I would regret it if I didnt. I've lost track of what day I'm on. I think it's like 8 or 9. Still lvl 1.

    Good luck today, everyone. You can definitely do it!

    Level 2 is kicking my butt! I feel like I'm using more.muscles with this level. Or maybe level 1 was just getting easy.

    I didn't do a 30DS video on Sunday morning but I completed the rest of my workouts (I have morning and evening workouts every day). My body just told me nope that morning and I listened.

    Did level 1 yesterday and I gotta say, that break really helped. I was able to complete the exercises a lot better than I usually do.

    And today I did a level 2. I felt like I was going to throw up majority of that video but I burned more calories only doing some of this workout than doing all of level 1. So I'm officially going to be sticking to the second level. My HR stayed between 160-180 the whole time

    How is everyone else doing?

    My left knee is starting to crunch and pop (thanks military), so I've been patching it up all day to help relax it. I almost said 'nope' to Day 5 of lvl 2, but I pushed through it. I think I need to start adding in a nightly stretch routine.

    On a good note, during the plank exercises, instead of dropping to the knees, I do upwards dog so my arms are still working and I'm technically not resting. I've noticed I'm able to last a lot longer if not the complete duration of the circuits now. I'll still be sticking with lvl 2 for longer though lol

    Day 17 done. I've had a little knee pain, so I did the modified versions tonight to hopefully not make it worse. Still super tough!

    It is quick! I haven't done it yet today, but I noticed last night I was able to do level 2 more easily. Just two more workouts until level three!
