    I just completed day 2 of Level 2. I can tell you it does get easier the longer you do each level. Don't try to complete all the moves if you feel like you can't. The key is to keep your heart rate up and to not quit until the workout is over. I felt like I was going to die for the first day of Level 1 (and 2) but each day makes it a lot easier. You just have to push through. You can do it. Just take it one day at a time. :) Just a little motivation for you, here are my stats so far:

    Starting weight: 152
    End of Level 1: 148

    Chest (around nipple): 36 in / 34.75 (-1.25)
    Natural waist: 31 in / 30.5 (-0.5)
    Gut (around belly button) and hips: 37 in / 36.75 :( (-0.25)
    Butt (around widest part of rear): 43 in / 40.75 (-2.25)
    Thighs: 24 in / 23.5 (-0.5)
    Arms: 11 in / 11

    So a grand total of 5.25 inches and 4 pounds lost!

    I'm on day 6 of the 30 day shred and it is brutal but I keep in mind 2 things...1) the successes of my fellow MFP family and 2) that the blasted workout is only 20 mins. Unlike Zumba, I can't wait until it's over but it's worth it. Just keep telling yourself that.


    I agree w/ members suggestions about modifications on certain moves. Personally. certain moves (jumping jacks) are getting better but others (jump roping) are still hard. I do it for a few seconds and them than I jog but each workout I challenge myself. I'm also in no hurry to move up a level. I'm doing level 1 w/ the modifications and I'm very sure I'll be doing level 1 w/ the modifications for the entire 30 days. I'll challenge myself because I think Jillian has a point about stress on the body, but I won't hurt myself or push myself to the brink. It will get better!!!

    I am on day 9 of Level 2 and trust me it gets easier! Every level is hard when you start out, but as the days go by you get stronger and you will be able to do it! With Level 1 I felt like that fisrt circuit with the push ups was the hardest...the 2nd and 3rd circuit would go by faster! Right now with level 2, i kept thinking OMG Im gonna puke! and I had to take several rest periods, but now.......I CAN DO THE WHOLE THING. One day at a time girl! The first day you will feel it, but by day 5 you will be good to go! Add me if you would like some support.

    Maybe I should mention that I had started 30DS twice before and as soon as I would get to level 2 I would quit because I felt it was too hard. This time around I pushed past that and here I am about to finish level 2!

    You can do it!!!!

    What helps me (I'm on day 6) is knowing its only 20 minutes! At least its not one of those hour videos!!

    Trust me it goes by quickly.

    Also, just go as hard as you can... THe first few times, I can only do a few regular pushups, I did the rest on the knees.

    THe cardio killed me at first, now I'm keeping up more.

    And, if you want, don't go up to other levels until you're ready...

    I was thinking of doing Level 1 for a month and then Level 2 for a month and Level 3 for a month.

    I want to move to the next level after I can do all of what she is teaching in the first level the right way...






    Great Idea!!

    It gets so much easier! I am not in shape at all but if you push yourself, you can do it. If you feel like you absolutely have to stop, then just jog in place until you can continue. I couldn't make it all the way through the first time, but made myself do it the second time (with a few jogging in place episodes). If you keep forcing yourself to do it, it will get easier and you will be able to do the whole thing without stopping! Very rewarding, AWESOME results.

    Okay, I started this video and love it, but have missed about three days or so because I was sick (dehydration - too much working out at gym and home and not enough water for as much workout as I was putting in). Anyway, I'm starting this again and committing to the 30 days. I love the workout and I'm excited about the comments and the posted before and after pics I've seen on this post.

    Thanks guys!

    Happy Friday!

    #1Put on your favorite music and tune JM out, she's annoying.
    #2 If you can't keep up with the paid fitness models, just modify the exercise, even when JM says not too.


    As long as you work your hardest each day you'll gain the strength and endurance needed. Eventually you'll be able to complete the full workout.
    :smile:

    I totally agree with this comment! I can't stand to hear her talk over and over again. I would add my own music and modify the exercises to what you CAN do. I am on day 6 of level 1 and I have noticed it does get easier, even though I still get out of breath.

    Keep your head up!


    We must have started the same time I finished day 6 last night, will do day 7 on level one tonight. I'm telling you I thought I wasnt going to make it thefirst day, but each time I do the workout I feel a little better about it. I'm going to try the putting on music thing, cause she is getting on my nerves lol. I love that it's only 20 min and you can do it at home, I feel like I have gotten a better wokout following her somedays, than I have working out on my own at the gym. You can do it!!!
