    I'm going to take a quick stab at this one. Are the 30DS you are speaking of Deep Squats? And where are you feeling the pain? Knees, lower-back?

    You might just be in better shape than you thought, even if you are working at it quite hard during the time it happens. :) I would up the weights, I upped mine to 5lbs this last time I did it, but I'm going to have to up to 8lbs because I do not get sore either.

    Your body must be immune to working out so hard!!! :)
    I only did it once yesterday, but i felt super sore immediately afterwards. I focused on the girl on the left who was doing the same thing just a little *harder* meaning jumping higher, squatting lower, etc.
    I was doing this: when doing the exercise- hold the position for a few seconds and release slowly- this hurts like hell!
    Good luck!

    Are you doing the modified version or the full version? When I started I watched the girl doing the modified version. I now try to follow the girl doing the full version. I am now feeling it a lot more!

    The first time I did level one I thought it was too easy and had no effect, so I did the entire 25 minutes all over again that day. I was definitely sore the next day even though I didn't feel it at first. I try to go as deep into every stretch, squat, move etc and also use 5 pound weights, for some I use 7 pounds. Hope that helps.

    i am going to try doing the DVD twice a day...if i can get my lazy butt up in the mornings that is! i started this morning which is great! lol. on some i use the 3lbs and some i use 5lbs. most of the time i try following the girl doing the harder version. but sometimes when i get really out of breath i follow modified girl. i have asthma so sometimes i think i might die!

    if you're doing it full on and not feeling a burn, I'd either add heavier weights or move up a level, can't hurt to do level 2 twice then level 3, or even level 2 then level 3 twice.. some people build up doing level 1 followed by level 2 straight away too.. so it's up to you!

    I'm right there with you! I am only on level one, day four, but I don't have any of the stiffness or soreness that others have talked about. What does have me sore is a Tracy Anderson Arms Webisode that I found on YouTube. I definitely feel like I'm getting a workout with 30DS but not feeling it the day after. Maybe this will change with Levels 2 & 3??

    I am usually only sore on day 1 & 2 of each level.

    I just started this past Thursday and will I had to stop a few times to catch my breath I did not feel sore. I did the program in the morning and was fine all day. However, the next morning I could barely get out of bed and had a hard time trying to sit at the toliet :sad:

    I did it again the next day, it was a pain, I'm quite surprised I did not give up during the warm up. I took off Saturday and Sunday and was back at it Monday this time I did not wake up as sore as the first day but I do feel like it's working for me.

    When I've done it in the past (never have done it everyday, just when I want to) I am busting my booty during, but I am not sore hours later or the next day. I would just say you are just in better shape than you thought. And the next time you do it, sink lower in the squats and maybe increase your arm weights. :smile:

    you don't have to be sore for it to work :) The only time I've been sore is when I first started and when I had a trainer. but on my own now, nothing

    I have been wanting to post this same question. I have did level one and am now on level two and I feel the burn of all most every move and push my self to do the advanced up and never sore. For maybe the first two days of level one I was but not any more. I wish I knew why?

    Are you using weights? If so, how heavy are they?

    I was never sore either except when I followed Natalie and deep everything deeper and more intense and added heavier weights.

    I have a difficult time w/ 30DS during it, but am not sore the next day either. I know I'm burning Cals though b/c I'm wearing my HRM. I think every body is different and I think I don't get as sore because she breaks up strength and abs with cardio - If it was just strength training I would probably get very sore.

    I would say (1) make sure you are giving it your all & (2) up your weights --- I'm sure you are doing it right!!!
