    Wow I forgot how intense the workouts are. My goal is to do this 30days straight along with training with a trainer and I hope to get at least a half hour of cardio for at least 5 days of the week.

    Food wise I am going to try and stay under 1500mg of sodium and eat as clean as possible.

    Starting weight 195 hope to get measurements done by tomorrow we shall see... Glad to see such a supportive group.

    Thanks MEL =)

    day 1 is done but have problem, back in february of this year i fractured my hand where my thumb meets my wrist. i tried to do push ups this morning and i cant do them due to wrist/hand pain. any suggestions on what i should do when the shred calls for the push ups?

    Try doing it against a wall... You still do the action but it doesn't have as much impact on the joints as a push up from the ground. Or you could use weights and just do the motion with your arms while standing.

    Nice job!! I dont know what substition there is but I can ask my trainer tomorrow morning at the gym we do a Biggest Loser boot camp and its the same type of work out as 30DS and she does a ton of planks in the class so Ill ask for you!

    Day1 (technically 2) complete! Was a bit more sore than I realized once I really got into the excercises and today I skipped steps climbing the stairs on my 2 mile lunchtime walk, with the weights on it really got my legs working and they are sore! going to give myself a massage and hope I am not too sore tomorrow.

    Ok - managed to haul my butt out of bed and do L1D6 this morning! Always tough at 05:30am with the rain pelting down outside :) Getting nervous about heading to L2 - although everything apart from the pushups is starting to feel a lot easier.....

    Debating ordering some Zumba DVD's for evenings when I get home!

    Day 3 today, can feel myself getting stronger and endurance improving :)
    Sore glutes, calves and I can feel it a bit in my chest too somewhere! I do all my 30DS in the mornings before work. Last night I did a bit of pole training so TIIIRED arms this morning. Gonna do some hoop tonight as well.

    Ok I have my measurements now;

    Height; 5' 4"
    Starting weight; 137lb
    rib cage - 30.5"
    belly at navel - 33.5"
    thighs - 22"

    Those are the bits I'm wanting to see change. My arms will likely get bigger as I don't carry much weight on them, and I'm happy with my hips and *kitten* ;) As for chest, if it doesn't get smaller I'll be thankful haha!

    Level 1 Day 3 done and dusted!!! Am I ever going to be able to do pushups on my feet...I feel like doing them on my knees will hurt forever!!!

    I was so sore I almost didnt do todays workout - but after doing it I feel so much better and less sore - something I will have to remind myself tomorrow!!

    I felt the same - I still can't do a full set of "grown up" pushups, but I'm able to do a little more each day! I started trying on Day 4 and (only being on D6!) I can now do 6 grown up ones before going back to my knees.

    The soreness does start to go - it doesn't feel like it, but it does :wink: keep going - you CAN do it!

    Well done you for talking yourself back into doing it!!! I found it a struggle to get out of my nice warm thickly duveted bed this morning. But a small cat leaping on your chest and miaowing in your face works wonders for getting you moving :laugh:

    Okay...I missed the first workout....that can't be a good thing!

    Glad to see so many people on here joining the challenege! Doing anything for 30 days straight is hard....except maybe sleeping in!

    I have been up since 5:20, goal was 5. Tomorrow I must get up on time. I will be running as well as 30ds because I am training for a half marathon. I will also be adding in 2 Jillian Killer Buns and Thighs per week and also atleat one Bob Harper Pure Burn Strength workout....so here's my "plan".
    Monday AM :Run and 30DS PM:Killer Buns
    Tues AM: 30DS and Bob
    Wed: Run and 30DS
    Thurs: 30DS and Bob
    Fri: Run and 30DS PM: KIller Buns
    Sat: Long Run (this week it's 8 miles) and 30DS
    Sun: 30DS

    This week will be off because of missing yesterday and also, I have a 5K race on Sunday, so my long run will probably be in Friday....but that's my plan. Days might get switched around but I'll post daily (I hope).

    Better get moving...4 miles and 30 DS....here I go!

    I've done mine last night. I am getting better with those jumping jacks LOL. The calories burned on my pedometer was dissappointing tho. But sweat was dripping off me. So I know I burn more than that.. I even do the 6 week six-pack. I FEEL GREAT THIS MORNING. :laugh:
