    Does anyone else find the planks weird to do - I have only ever done them on the elbows not with straight arms!

    Yeah I find them unusual, never done any kind before, can really feel my abs and arms working so they must be good

    Oh, LOL! I just realized that mirror shows me for the pale person I am. The other mirror I usually use makes me look more olive. Ah well :tongue:

    Im level 1 day 7 today and am still struggling to get through it without a 5 sec break, i find my legs dont want to move after the jumping jacks and jump rope, sucks as my legs are normally pretty strong.

    Me too!! D7 for me today and I had to stop during the jumping jacks! I thought it was weird because I didn't need to on day 1! But I am able to do some actual push-ups now!! I think I managed 8 before I was getting wobbly!
    Noticing some definite changes though.....I am sinking much lower into the squats (Natalie style:bigsmile: ) and the ab exercises are feeling more controlled.

    I was really drained today, so I found most of the workout quite difficult. Damn I was actually really sweating by the end. My few days break has made me a bit unfit.

    Lol im still doing girly push ups, i think if they were later in the work out iwould be better cos it seams i need to really get my muscles working in order to be able to push myself hard, lol ive always been a bit backwards. I wished i could say i am seeing results but hmmm still a jelly belly so am doing more cardio to try and budge some more!

    Well done!! I find the first day ok, second day I felt great, 3rd day is when it hurt the most just to walk, but day 4 I was all good again!! I did day 8 today and I still need the odd break now and again.

    I packed my scales away on the weekend as I had gotten into the habit of weighing myself everyday....and was really disappointed to see it going up instead of down. But I did a quick check of a couple of my measurements this morning and I have lost a cm off my butt, and a cm off 2 off my waist!!!!! YAY YAY YAY 30DS is working!!!!!! Not expecting to see much of a loss on Friday when I do weigh in as it seem I'm building muscles :)

    I have decided to skip it today - mixed feelings about this as I did want to do 30 days straight. But yesterday I did 30DS then later went to the gym and did my 1hr programme and found it really tough. I want to go back to the gym today so am going to try skipping 30DS to see if it makes any difference.

    Makes me feel like a slacker :-(

    Day 6 L1 down. 4 days to go then up to L2!! I'm definitely seeing some difference in my shape, waist and endurance. Managed to get through every exercise at the "advanced" level today.

    Day 11 done. First day of level 2. Well in theory, the second day, cause silly me did level 2 on day 2 at the start :laugh:

    It is harder yes. Parts of it way more exhausting.

    Don't feel like a slacker!! You have 4 kids, a full time job and you workout everyday!!! Missing one day of 30DS isn't such a big deal, especially since you are doing such a monster workout at the gym!!!

    Is anyone else getting major knee problems?? The last day or so i have had a lot of knee pain which is a totally new thing for me and wondered if it's 30DS related??

    I am. I get them every few days with the exercises. I have knee issues anyway. They seem to cause issues when I'm consistent with regular exercise. Annoying! If I had some money, I would buy a knee support thing, but I am poor this week :frown:

    My knees were fine in level 1. Not sure what in level 2 is causing the problems I am only feeling it in the cardio bits not the squats etc.

    Not knee pain, but my ankles were playing up tonight.
