Jillian Michael's 30DS Question

You could always just try level two, just because your not sore doesnt mean it isnt working. I bumped up to level 2 when I saw I wasnt burning calories the way i was when i first started. I actually like level 2 more! How are yo on the moves in level one? Can you do them all?

Im on day six and feel the same way... however I am staying on level one for a few more days, I just dont think my endurance is up enough yet to move to level two... but if you do bump it up let me know how is goes!

Are you still sore while you are actually doing the workout? My muscles were super sore at all times for the first 4-5 days and then that went away, but they are still pretty sore each time that I do the workout. I just finished a consecutive day 10, and I used the full 10 days to finish level 1 before advancing. I'll be starting level 2 today. If you feel like the workout is getting too easy, and you're moving through the circuits without too much difficulty, then I would say it would probably be safe to move to the next level. But everyone is different, and you know your own body and what you can handle. Hope this helps a little!

I moved to level two after 6 days, partially because I wasn't sore the next day anymore, but I was also getting bored. I do like level 2 much better than level 1.

If you feel you are ready, then move on.

I think you are ready to move up if you can get through the workout with it starting to feel a bit easy. If you're still struggling to finish the sets, then stay at level 1. If you are cruising on through and don't feel like you're getting a workout, then move to level 2. I've done 30DS and now RI30 and 6W6P and I'm never sore after the first day or two. I don't feel ready to move on to the next level though - as I gasp for breath and swear at Jillian during all her awful plank based cardio moves

I felt the same way so on the 7th day so I started the second level. It's brutal!! Yesterday I did day 3 of Level 2... my arms and shoulders are KILLING!!

I've been shredding for the wedding and my arms are suggesting maybe I should quit and just buy a shawl LOL!! :0

I wouldn't judge soreness or lack thereof as a reason to move on. I would move on to level 2 when I can completely master every exercise on Level 1, am bored with level 1, and am ready for a challenge.

I've done the 30DS before (before I got pregnant) and I love Level 2. It was hard for me so I kept doing it because there were a few exercises that I never quite mastered!

Now I just started the DVD again

I can do most of the moves. The only one I have issues with is the static lunge, I can do it, I just struggle getting in the entire amount. I took one day off because I literally was limping and my legs were locking up when I walked lol, the next day I went back at it and my legs felt a lot better, though for 3 days they were killing me. I do 30 minutes on the elliptical 4 nights a week too on top of this. I want to get the best results possible because in a little over 30 days I will be attending my fiance's Navy RTC Graduation, that's why I am so anxious

Are you never taking a day off? Your body only regenerates when at rest... so you really need to keep your body at least a day off. That's why I believe in rotation of exercises. For example, if you do 30DS every OTHER day, on the non-30DS days, do something else... but really, really you need at least a day a week where you go easy on yourself ... just do a relaxing walk (it can be a long walk, but don't try to kill yourself) or some yoga or whatever it is you like, but that isn't overly stressful on your body.
