    L1D2 complete! I went for a walk around the mall after work so I just now got done with 30DS. I really noticed the achiness in my thighs during the warm up, otherwise it hasn't been too bad. Yet. I'm really glad I started right before the weekend so my body has a couple days to scream at me before I have to be up early for work and getting my kids to school.

    I didn't attempt my weights on the shoulder presses because I wimped out. Then I got a bit angry at myself for wimping out right off the bat on Day 2 so I refused to give up on any other strength exercises. Even the side lunge ones where I was shaking like jello to get the weights up. I also surprised myself by getting noisy. Instead of just puffing away, I was grunting and growling and I think getting verbal might have helped me push through, especially on those damn bicycle crunches.

    Just know that each day you will get stronger and be able to do more! I love the noises! Works for me ( as long as you don't wake anyone up-hehe ) :wink:

    :smile: Hi, I would like to join your motivation group. I also started the 30DS on Tuesday so am now on Day 5 and have completed this. I am still pretty sore today (although I did jog for 35 mins also which hasn't helped the soreness in my thighs). My details are as follows:

    Age: 40 years old
    Weight on 20 Sept: 165 lbs
    Weight on 30 Sept:

    Completed Day 1 to Day 5 on Level 1. Will continue on level 1 until 30 September. Doing okay and hoping to lose quite a bit. I am from Edinburgh in Scotland and I'd like to lose 3 stone (but thats probably asking quite a lot). I've not been this heavy since I had my son 12 years ago so I need to get a grip. I stopped smoking in January this year and thats not helped as i've been eating to compensate. So lets give it a real go eh!!!

    Today I just finished Day 7!! I took a rest day yesterday and I am staying on level one until day 10. I actually did 2 REAL push-ups today!!! I am doing really well with the modified, but I think they are the first EVER REAL push-ups I have done in my life. I made it the whole way through level 1 with out ANY break!! I am hoping that I don't get discouraged on level 2 on Wednesday when I do it for the first time. YOu are all doing great!!

    Oh..and I guess I forgot to put my age. I am 31. Also, I didn't get to take my measurements until yesterday, but glad I will have something to compare to other than pictures.

    Good luck and keep up the hard work!

    Wow guess I didn't log it yesterday. BUT::
    I have day 5 & 6 level 1 DONE!
    Did day 6 level one today.

    I am able to go through certain workouts a little easier now. But still having problems with certain ones...push-ups for one!

    Feeling really good though!

    Great Job!!! I also struggle with the push-ups!! Keep up the great work!

    Hi there,
    I started 20/09/2011.
    I have been in another thread, but they want to do rest days and mix up the DVDs, so is it OK if I tag along here?
    Age: 43
    SW: 186.2
    I took measurements Day one, so excited to see what the difference will be on day 30.

    30DS level 1
    Day 1 check
    Day 2 check ( arms seemed a little heavier to-night, did extra 10 min stretch after)
    Day 3 check ( no getting any easier) 10% done yay!!!!
    Day 4 check ( still doing extra stretch seem so be helping)
    Day 5 check (had chip shop fish & chips for dinner not a good idea when doing crunches)
    Day 6 check ( still tough) 20% not sure if there's light at the end of the tunnel or a train coming.

    Day 4&5

    Feeling pretty good. Some things in the workout seem a lot easier, but those squat press and side lunge/shoulder raise moves KILL my arms! I try to go for as long as I can or at least lung, then lung and raise so I am only raising my shoulders every other move. I really want to be able to do the arms workouts all the way through, but it just hurts so bad. Didn't realize my arms were that out of shape!

    Day 7 Level 1 completed! I finally got through the whole thing barely stopping including that terrible first circuit (the jumping one) and I moved up to 5lb weights, hopefully by day 11 I'll be ready for level 2!

    D7 L1 DONE!!!!!!

    Still can't get thru the push ups =( the only other thing I can't fully do and can almost do it is the side lunge with the arm raises.....oh and the lunges with bicep curls get me too lol but I can do all the cardio!

    For some reason to me the last cardio round with all four is easier than the beginning!

    I was worried bout the weekends cause I usually took a break on exersize....I feel better when I workout so I'm very happy I bought this dvd!

    Wow! Everyone is doing a great job!!!!! I missed a day this week. No excuse, just couldn't motivate, Well I caught up today! Day 6 and 7 completed this morning.

    Everyone's comments are helpful. I too find the last cardio set easier to do than the first. I too hate the pushups! (Even if my doctor wants me to do them) I agree with extra stretching afterwards as well. Was so sore the first 4 days, but have since added 10 minutes of pilates stretch afterwards and feeling less sore.

    Today I am jello, but I guess that is what happens when you double up!

    Have a great day everyone! Drink water! and Keep moving!

    I also find the last cardio to be very easy! I think it is because we know we are almost done!!! lol Good job on day 7 complete!
