Just finished day 7. I am no longer feeling like I am going to die, and I can successfully complete everything except the side lunge with arm raise. I am feeling so much more energetic, and am truly excited about the program now.

I also weighed in for the first time and am down 4 lbs! This morning I also decided to take measurements, I wasn't going to because I was afraid of what the results were going to be, but I did it anyway. I hope it makes me feel more positive at the end.

    I finished day 7 today too! I totally agree it doesn't feel like I'm going to die!! Congrats on 4lbs lost!! I weigh myself Monday, and I take my measurements tomorrow morning - I'm nervous!!

    I was going to skip tonight because my daughter didn't sleep AT ALL last night and I was exhausted, however, I pushed through and SO don't regret it! I feel 1000% better than I did before it! It actually GAVE me energy!! I also (for the first time!) completed the front lunges with bicep curls and the side lunges with arm raises (with 2lb weights!). I still can't do a proper push-up, can't complete the first part of jump ropes (my muscles aren't warmed up enough I think), and can't do the squats and presses without lowering my arms a couple times, but it's all getting better and easier! Oh, and I can't do the bicycle crunches...though I think that is more lack of coordination than muscle. LOL

    We are getting stronger each and every day!! I am TOTALLY excited about it now too!! :bigsmile:

    Hi all... I just completed day 8 and I so agree with above comments, I'm feeling much stronger and I actually feel awesome after I do the video. I can make it all the way through the video but I'm doing mostly modified versions on the strength stuff. Cardio and abs I'm all good with now. In a couple more days I move onto lv 2 and I'm scared!!!!!!

    Just finished. I feel a bit of a fraud as I missed a couple of days, but I'm back on it. Was really hard tohugh. It does make a difference if you miss.

    Day 7 is done. The jumping jacks and jump rope is easier for me now. I didn't use the weights on the side lunges with arm raises since my right shoulder still is hurting.

    Wasn't able to do the shred on Firday, ended up having to do something else yesterday but today I was able to do the whole thing with only modified pushups and upped the weights for everything but the anterior lifts/side lunges and feel like a rock start!! Almost looking forward to weigh-in tomorrow!! So thankful for this group! Thanks everyone!!!!

    I missed my workout yesterday because I had so much to do but today I will be doing it twice to catch up. Completed day 6 this morning and will do day 7 this evening.

    Wednesday was my rest day, so Day 6 done for me!
    I find myself moving towards the advanced moves more and more and even the first round of cardio isn't making me feel like my legs are going to cramp up anymore!
    Week one down! Great job everyone!

    Sounds like everyone is making/feeling great progress. Day 7 done. I'm "enjoying" Level 1 while I can because I know what L2 will bring!

    I did Day 7 and even added heavier weights on a couple of the exercises, but for some reason my calorie burn was lower than it has been the last couple days-- weird!

    I completed Day 7 this morning. I wasn't going to do the 30DS today and was just going to walk on the treadmill, but once I was dressed for working out I decided to do it. I'm using 3, 5, and 8 lb weights during the workout. I'm moving up to level 2 on Tuesday...Day 9. Level 2 was my favorite last time I did this.

    I can't do the bicycle crunches either.. .mainly because it really hurts the small of my back so what I do insted is I do it standing up, I just make sure I pull my leg up with my abs and pull up as high as I can and use my abs, and it still really works!! :D I have been so behind because I have been super b u sy and in and out of town, but I will be back in on it tomorrow! will be finishing later than ya'll but that's ok I still plan on finishing it!!! I also cheated and weighed (i was only trying to weigh once a month but couldn't wait til feb lol) and I lost 2 lbs!! :D

    Friday was my rest day (and will continue to be), so I did Day 7 today. Yesterday I upped my weights from 2.5 to 5, except for the first and last arm exercises. Those side lunges with arm raises kick my @$$! I still worry that my form is bad for that one. But I think I'm getting leaner, and I feel like it's better. I actually turned Jillian off for the past two days and listened to my own music. I was able to do the cardio more quickly, which I hope helped me burn more calories. I did that for some of the strength, too, while continuing to focus on my form. So far, so good! Am interested in trying Ripped in 30 after this!

    I felt like a super hero doing Day 4 today! :bigsmile: I was able to do 10 - TEN! WOOT! - real push-ups with excellent form. Day one I was doing about two before I literally collapsed on the floor! My endurance is already increasing, also; I followed Natalie for the majority of the strength moves and was sweating a lot less (only downside to this is that I'm probably burning less calories.)

    SO I'm lovin' it. Bring it on, Day 5 :drinker:

    I missed today and regret it. I got caught up in taking down Christmas decorations and cleaning the house...burned over 900 calories doing it though! I'll get back to it tomorrow, for sure. I noticed yesterday that it's getting much easier.
