    I did day 3 on Saturday and my body was aching so much I had to give it a miss yesterday, even today my quads are aching but determined to do it when I get in from work!

    Any tips on how to avoid this? My boyfriend did it with me at the weekend and said there isn't enough stretching, do any of you do additional stretching, if so, what do you do?

    Yeah the cool down is really short.. I always do extra stretching after. I do a full body stretch. But if your not sure how to stretch perhaps take a look on you tube for some tips.

    I just have a question for anyone that has done it, or started to do it. I have a really hard time with work out dvds, classes at the gym, simmilar things on demand. I always feel as though I can't keep up, or I can't do the moves the same as they can, and then therefore, I don't have any gains. So my question is not whether or not the moves are easy, but is the technique easy? Does that make any sense?

    :laugh: 2nd day done - with a bit of a hiccup this morning - arms were burning this morning and I gave up...then kicked myself up the butt (literally) and did it properly this evening - seemed shorter tonight doing the whole twenty odd minutes than it did this morning - guess I am just an evening person:smile:
    I am looking forward to being able to jump up and down as quick as the girls in the dvd to get from section to section!

    Yeah it's not too bad. I find I stop every now and then (mostly in between the cardio lol) for a quick catch of breath or water) but it's for about 5 seconds then continue. The pace is that so you do rest during strength and it's not so breath catching the whole way through.


    Got up this morning early to do day 8. Will do day 9 when I get home.

    Hope to see results soon :(

    My roommate and I have had this video for a year now and I've never gotten all the way to day thirty. lol. But I am on day 2 of level 1. Level 2 is tough but I don't stress out if I can't keep up with them. The important part is just to not quit! Sometimes I do half of the compound move (like leg extension with the arm press, I might do the legs but only do the arms half of the time). But everyday I find that I do more reps than the previous day. Here's hopin I actually make it to level 3 this time...

    Thats amazing well done.

    I have been rubbish on holiday for the past 3 days and skipped out just due to holiday lazyness. Back on it today did Workout 2 followed by zumba. Not sure what day I would call that now though, should I call it day 1 and start again (though I wont finish in time for my wedding) Day 11 even though I skipped a few or day 7 as thats how many times I have done this DVD.

    I'd call it day 7. I count it as many times as I have done it.

    I'm on D1L2 tomorrow! Not doing it tonight as it's girls night/break day.

    Wowzer. Level 2. Panting and sweating! Did not like the double crunch, couldn't do it (how do you keep your legs together! lol I look like *kitten*). Otherwise, was okay!

    Hello,

    So I have just ordered Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred so I am hoping I will have it with in a few days. I get married in September so I want to look and feel my best for that. But with a week away at Edinburgh festival and my hen weekend August is not going to be an easy month sooo... I was hoping some of you might join me and fingers crossed we can egg each other on to complete this together throughout the month of August.

    I will post again when I get my DVD hopefully in time to start on the first of August.

    Who is with me?

    Hey guys,

    Did you just get the DVD or did you get the book along with it? Is there any diet advice on the DVD? Would really like to tone up EVERYWHERE :P getting married in June 2012 :D

    I just got the DVD to be honest not sure about the others on here.

    As I slacked off a few days when away I am a little behind but just completed Day 12 Level 2. Really enjoying. Some mornings when I wake up I feel tired and so cant be bothered but by the time I get to circuit 2 cardio I start thinking well I am half way there now and then I feel I can rev it up.

    Starting to see a change in my arms and abs too... although its only a little so perhaps others wont see it yet.

    Still making me feel good.

    How is everyone else getting on?

    I feel good that I've done it and doing it (D2 L2 done) but getting really disheartened that not seeing results. Even though it's probably water retention blah blah, hard not to feel down.

    Me too. I was staring at my scales yesterday and weighed in. Was the same. (I usually weigh in on Mondays).

    I've gone back to my starting weight for when I joined. Quite annoyed. Sure, I've had some over cals eating days, but not that awfully. Sigh. Please Jillian! Lizard face my fat away!
