    I def. agree to do at the end more stretches and the ones Jillian does for longer, it will help a lot. I'm on day 15 Level 2 and really miss Level 1!

    I don't mean to be rude and butt into your thread - but I was wondering if any of your JM people could explain the 3-2-1 method to me real quick? I am finishing my current workout program and looking into doing the 30 DS...

    3 mins strength, 2 mins cardio, 1 min abs and repeat 3 times. Not sure if this is the answer you were looking for... :smile:

    I am on level 2 and I had to take the night before last off due to a sore hamstring. I recommend doing a lot more stretching at the end of the video than she does. I think she is trying to fit into a time frame, so she skips on the stretching at the end. I hold my stretches for at least 30 seconds. 5 seconds of stretching is noting.

    Aug 7 I was in a size 14 and today I'm wearing a size 10...the pain is totally worth it!!!!!

    Good luck!

    Great Motivation for me to complete it!

    I haven't been that sore on the lower half of my body, but have been going for a walk afterwards and wearing my Chung Shi shoes (like MBT's)....I also improvise at the end with the stretches, and do extra.

    I've not had any soreness (or very little) in my legs - and have done 5 days of level 1 so far.

    I'm wondering if it's because I already go hiking, or because as a result of struggling badly with the arm work (even with 1.1lb weights) I'm just not putting enough into the lunges.

    I just completed day 4, and it does get better. I had to push through the soreness, and now its almost completely gone. If the soreness doesn't go away I would recommend adding some pilates to your routine. I love doing the 10 minute solution dvds, and it has been successful in taking away the soreness from tough workouts. :smile:

    I agree with Julie -

    I feel the same way! I am on Level 1 Day 4 and my arms and stomach have been so sore! I hope that means it's working!

    My thighs & calves are killing me too, but I can already see my biceps are getting a little more defined and I have only done it for 2 days so far. Hang in there, we are gonna look and feel so good when we are done! You got this girl!

    Hang in there....30DS works.

    I did it my first month here. I didn't particularly "enjoy" it. But hey, it's 30 mins.

    I was SO sore the first couple days that even the warmup of moving the arms KILLED. Then about day 4 it was ok.

    Day 10 or so I started to see bicep...and then it was easier to "suffer" through it.

    When I finished, I did Day 1 Level 1, just to see my progress and was amazed how much easier it seemed. I lost inches everywhere too.

    Now I'm almost done with Supreme 90, which was a good program to do after 30DS as J's workout really helped "train" me.

    SO WORTH IT!! Give her 30 days. It's a mere month of your journey. A month is nothing.

    I started 30DS Tuesday. Yesterday I could barely lift my arms and my abs where killing me. I skipped last night. Tonight I will do it, these comments have helped me so much to know that I can get through it and the pain will go away.
