I attempted to have a go at it yesterday and completed the first circuit. I hadn't eaten yet though and felt like death - so I stopped.
I have done level one before - I think I went up to D16 and stopped.. (NOT THIS TIME THOUGH)
The hardest part for me when I started was the cardio - I constantly wanted to give in.
Now it has to be the squat and shoulder press combo - the squats are fine.. BUT not the arms..
And also the last minute of ab work.. I huff and puff like its nobodys business..
GOOD LUCK everyone. 0 -
Day 1: complete.
The hardest part for me was the jumping and the lunges. I don't have an ACL in my left knee, and terrible arthritis in both knees (I know, horrible for only being 27), so I took it very easy today and completed about 75% of the workout. I liked the arm exercises- they feel like jello already!
Good luck, everyone! Rock it out!0 -
I've done mine for the day :-)
Got to be honest I find the Jumoing Jaks the hardest!
At the end ones I reverted back to skipping rather than the last set!0 -
I recruited my 17 year old daughter to do it with me and we started last night since she is in school during the day (just can't do the early morning!!). We about died! We watched it ahead of time just to get a bit familiar with it and it didn't seem too bad just watching them.... Well, of course it looks easy when THEY do it! They're in shape! We were surprised by how challenging it was! I'm feeling okay this morning...no pain yet. I think the cardio stuff...jumping jacks and the jump rope move were hardest for me! Also, with the floor exercises...they were on to the next move before I could even get myself up! It was a pretty humbling experience! I'm so looking forward to seeing the progress and building up the strength to have it not be like it was last night. :-) Looking forward to Day 2!0

I've been doing in for almost a week and was on day 5 of level 2 yesterday. It's still killing me. I couldn't get motivated to get out of bed this morning to workout, I need to do it when I get home. Wish me luck!0

Although i am a few days ahead of you guys, the push up are the hardest for me due to a tendon surgery I had on my wrist a few years back. Other than that I think I may have level one down & am thinking about trying level 2 tonight to get a feel for the moves when I do it tomorrow morning.0

Day one completed.
I always find the pushups the hardest thing on they I cannot do them properly no matter how hard I try so I have to do my own version on that, but everything else is pretty much ok although the arm exercises always make my shoulders hurt. Bring on day two tomorrow. Still got my netball training tonight and walking to do the school run do mon is a good exercise day for me.0 -
The jumping jacks r killer!! I suck at pushups, and the very last ab work is the hardest for me!! My arms are sore cuz i started yesterday:grumble:
But enough griping here!! getting ready for D2 in a little bit

Ok, so I will be doing day 1 tonight after Zumba, and after my kids go to bed.. Never done this before...you guys are scarin' me..lol...I was worried I wouldn't get the DVD in time, but it arrived today...We'll give it a shot I guess!0

I find the side lunges with anterior raises the hardest. I have to use only one weight for those ones, just holding it with both hands, and I still sometimes have to just do the lunges and stop the weights for a few seconds.0

I had to do that for part of the side lunges too. After all the blooming push ups etc my arms were killing!!0 -
Day 1 level 1 Done!!! :happy:
I find the push ups really hard but I expected that because I have no upper body strength. They'll get better though!!0 -
I started the 18th I think but I always hate the first strength circuit. I hate pushups and those squat press things kill my arms too! Then I have to do pushups again!0
-
I completed Day 1 this morning. Push-ups are always a challenge and I cannot wait for those to get easier! I also found the segment where you have to get up and down so quickly challenging as well. I have STARTED this program before and know that it does get notably easier by the fourth or fifth day. That being said, I'm not sure I have ever made it to the second level but being in a group makes the journey feel different...I know I can make it to the end this time. Great job to everyone!!0
-
day 1 complete...wow! the push ups were the hardest for me, and the last ab workout. I didn't have weights with me though (have to go buy some tonight) but I still did the movements and I still felt it!0
-
squat/press are hard due to shoulder damage. I'm ending up using weight in one hand and just the movement in the other
jumping jacks and rope skipping are a bit hard but I'm figuring out how to do without bothering my back so much.
the rest I'm OK with. I don't mean they're easy, but they are do-able and I can complete them. Well, mostly complete them........0 -
I did day four today. I was sooo tired but got up and did it anyway very proud of myself normally i would just take a day *cough* week *cough* because of being tired. i feel much better now! 0
-
Day 1 done for me!!! The hardest for me is the cardio and the pushups....im sure by the end of kevel one
i wont struggle with them both as hard. I can tell i was out of shape. My back mucles tht
I didnt even know existed are aching...caught myself giving the screen the finger lolz but
The burn is addictive..dont know if im looking forward to exercise or to get the exercise over with 0 -
Day one ...check! Squat presses darn near put me over the edge! 29 more to go 0
-
Level 1 Day 1 complete! Whew! Didn't find it to be too bad except for the push-ups, and the bicycle...I always did that one fast - what a diff when you do it slow!
Looking forward to tomorrow...I think! LOL0 -
Just finished day one! Sitting down to eat dinner and watch some KU basketball versus Texas A&M! What a great night! Overall, this level wasnt too bad for the first time. When I started last year it was really hard to do level one at first. This time around it's not too bad. My arms are kind of fatigued, but they're not shaking. Close to being jello though!0
-
I completed Day 1 when I got home from work today! Push ups were definitely the hardest for me. I have zero upper body strength. Pretty sure I'm going to be in major pain all over tomorrow, but it will totally be worth it! Can't wait to finish Day 2, then 3, then 4, then 30!! Ready to see some results! lol! 0
-
Day 1 done. I started last week but i'm not counting it because I took 2 days off. I'm going full swing 30 days with no rest. Does anyone else do any other kind of exercise with this? I was thinking of doing some cardio on the treadmill but I don't want to kill myself. LOL Push ups are the hardest for me and those side lunges are a killer.0
-
Got up early this morning to kick off day 1 and damn I'm already feeling it tonight! I have completed 30 DS and 3 weeks of ripped in 30 about 6 1/2 months ago but really haven't done anything since! For everyone who gets up feeling as if u can't move in the morning...just press play and start it ~ once u get warmed up you'll start to feel better good luck & happy shredding! 0

Level 1 Day 1 done 10 min ago. The hardest for me was the squat/shoulder raise combo where you raise the arms in front of you to eye level. I couldn't do it to eye level and my arms were killing me. Here's to not giving up!
Good job everyone! See you guys tomorrow.0 -
Day 1 Level 1 Completed and let me just say OMG! It was so awesome! I left this workout with my legs shaking and my arms quivering lol did anyone else encounter this. My body was like WTH did you just do to me! I thought we were suppose to go for a run lol
I found the jumprope jumps with the jumping jacks combined hard. who wouldve thought that something that looked and could be so easy could really kick your rear in gear! Glad I live on the first floor lol
YIKES SO HARDCORE! I loved it, cant wait to do it again tomorrow! woooooooo!0
