    Finished L1D6 yesterday. Was so proud of myself. Made it through everything without stopping except for the second set of push ups. Really starting to see definition in my arms now. I also bought smaller weights for the side lunges....helped tremendously!!

    Level 1 Day 4 - Done!

    Today I really didn't like the 1st part of the circuit. It made me grumpy. The rest I was good with. I'm thinking I'm gunna take the advice of one of my friends on here and turn up my music and mute Ms Jillian. I don't think she'll mind.

    Day 7 done. Found my daughter "Shredding". I like that my teenage daughter can't use weights during the side lunges. Guess who's stronger, baby!!! :laugh:

    ROCK ON!! :tongue:

    I started two days late, I was on the road for work. I did D4L1 last night and last night was the first day where I got through everything without stopping. It is starting to get a bit easier.

    I had pain in my back after D2 - like I had pulled something - I didn't feel it last night though.

    If you don't like hearing Jillian you can mute it and listen to music....

    OR if you have a laptop you can mute the dvd on mute & put it next to the tv while you watch a movie. Makes the workout go so much faster! =)

    Started a little late but just finished day 3! Just curious- do you guys add the shred into your diaries for tracking how many calories you burned? I'd like to but have no idea how to go about it.

    L1D6 done. Ugh, tonight I moved up to 5 lb. weights. I'm glad that I can do it at least through circuit 2 and part of 3 but I think I'm going to hurt tomorrow!

    L1D7 tonight, it's A LOT easier. BUT I have given up on doing the side lunges with arm raises (can't even keep doing them with 3lbs weights). So I just lay on the floor on keep doing the butterflies with my 5lbs =) Better then not being able to do something at all, right?

    Also because I have a bad knee that's put me into physical therapy (since 30DS is so hard on the knees), I don't do the front lunges with weights.... I stay in the lower lunge positions while using the weights. If I want to make it through Round 2 of this, I have to make some adjustments and learn from what my knee can and can't handle from last time.

    edit: I can't do push-ups, so I just stay in the plank position on my feet.

    Wow I made a lot of alterations to the moves =P BUT it's working for me & I'm still burning a good amount of calories, so I think it's okay.

    L1D3 last night. God, I hate the first part too! I'm glad they put it first! My arms, abs and legs aren't so sore anymore but the muscles between my shoulder blades hurt like mad. I didn't even know we had muscles there! :)

    I log 30DS as circuit training - 20 min. MFP says 170 calories burned which seems a good estimate!

    Level 1, Day 8 behind me, still doing "girl" push ups with Natalie, and struggling to get through ALL of the anterior delt -lunges/raises, (I don't do as many as Jillian & the girls) just beat by that time. But hey 2 more days on Level 1 and looking forward to starting Level 2!:glasses:

    L1D8 done. Man I still REALLY struggle with the anterior raises. I usually use 5 or 8lb dumbbells for everything, but with those I use 2 cans of pork 'n' beans. hehe! I must be lacking some critical muscle that I need for that movement. Today I tried to do half with the 5lbs and whoa I was hurting!

    @KatiaR: I actually am not even able to kick my *kitten* during butt-kicks on either side! I couldn't believe it, figured my rear was sticking out enough that it wouldn't be a problem. hehe!

    Two more days ladies and then to Level 2!!! WooHoo!

    Completed L1D7 last night. I am now able to do regular push-ups all the way through. The only thing I'm still struggling with are the anterior raises like many of the rest of you. I can do the first set with 5 lb weights now but the second set I have to use a jar of peanut butter and a jar of miracle whip. Lol. Ready to be done with level 1 but getting nervous about level 2 for sure.

    L1D6 completed yesterday. I have 2 to make up from this weekend. I think I'll do an extra one tonight. I am already finding myself stronger especially when doing the push-ups! I can do 7 regular and then I have to do the modified ones.

    L1D8 done! Felt a lot of energy today. Surprising because I did my own leg and shoulder workout at the gym before Shredding. Two more days and onto Level 2 - my FAV!!!

    ROCK ON!!! :tongue:

    I wonder if there's something to that? Yesterday I did day one of C25K before the 30DS and I felt really good on it. Today is rest day for C25K and I was back to feeling sure I would collapse on the 30DS! :laugh:

    Finished day 7 last night...getting comfortable with the exercises...but still sweating up a storm!! I actually went out and got 3 lb weights for the raises...so much easier than trying it with my 5 lbs. I definitely think it's working different muscles because I can do the other exercises with 5 or 8 lbs. Looking forward to level 2 (NOT!!) lol

    Day 8, level 1 complete. Any advice re 'are we supposed to go up' on day 11? Just feel as if I am concentrating on the right muscles now but don't want to stay here if that not the plan as I really want to get the best from this as possible.
