D1 L1 done! Then I was nearly late for work! :laugh:

If I can do even one full push up when I'm through, I'll be ecstatic, I have such weak wrists I have to do them on my knees.

Feeling energized after D1L1, but I'm sure tomorrow will not feel the same

I did it! It went great! It was challenging but do-able ! Did it before work

D1L1 here we go, wish everyone Good Luck<3

Luckily I was off today, so I got to take my sweet time with getting started. I have to mute Jillian and put my own music on. Of course I can do this with level 1, because I've started it so many times and quit before level 2, but I digress........ Tomorrow I plan to get up a bit earlier and do it again. I honestly can't say that I've ever done it 2 days in a row!! Can't wait to see/feel results..... This will all be worth it... this will all be worth it.... this will all be worth it...... :laugh:

L1D1 complete. Not looking forward to not being able to sit/walk tomorrow!

Still fighting a cold, but will be doing it before bed.

This is my second go-round with this dvd - only made it about halfway thru before, so I'm aiming at doing this the whole 30 days! This was D1L1 for me and I noticed it didn't feel as bad as it did the first time I tried this dvd. Thats good news! I'm sure I'll be sore - I TOTALLY agree with flowerpotg - the fact that Jillian does jump and jacks followed by jump rope in the very first cardio section SUCKS!! And to answer your question flowerpotg: no, its not cheating to jog around the room. I think as long as you keep moving at a good pace and don't just stop, you'll do just fine.

Hope D2L1 tomorrow (for most of you - I know some are further along) goes fantastic! KEEP IT UP, SHREDDERS!! :glasses:

I have been working on level 1 for the last week and a half off and on. The first day I couldn't even do 2 jumpin' jacks (or pushups) in a row. At least now I can do the pushups (on the knees) somewhat. As for the jumpin' jacks, I can do 1 set, (usually the last set she does). My issue is I have bad knees, and they start to hurt on any of the impact jumps. As for the jump rope, I can't take my feet off the ground, because my shin hurts so bad, so I bounce. At least I am moving. And I do just moving the best I can. I know if I go down, my husband (an EMT) is here to help if I need him to.. He is being very supportive, I wish though that he would try to so some exercises with me. But I'm sure that will come later.
I hope everyone else is doing okay, while we are still at the beginning. All I know is it does get better as you go. Just need not take any days off (like I have done the last week or so). :-}
Now off to a nice comfy shower and then off to bed. Night all.

Completed Day 1 Level 1. The Jumping Jacks and Jump Rope back to back in the cardio of circuit 1 is a killer for me. I couldn't do them in succession so I jogged around the room during the jump rope part. Is that cheating?

I hope it's not cheating! I just keep going with jumping jacks I can't change to jump rope it's too hard on my legs at the moment because they're still really sore (Day 4 now....when will the pain go?:sad: ).

Day 2 done. I realized this morning how much I hate jumping jacks.......

Im done with day 2! Not bad but I am having a hard time with the push ups....

Hi Everyone!
Guess I was in the wrong thread.
L1D1 and L1D2 complete!
shoulders are a little sore otherwise feel good!

Ed

Day 2 complete. Didn't burn as many calories as yesterday cuz I couldn't do the moves to the full effect cuz I'm so sore! It hurts to sit on the toilet! lol

I am done with L1D1 and L1D2! Looking forward to Day 3. I've been quite sore too, but I am hoping that it'll go away by Day ... Which is what I read from other people.

The squat and press are definitely VERY painful for me. I can't do a proper push-up yet, and I'm still trying to do the side lunges without screaming my head out in pain.
