    I finished day 6 this morning, I am really enjoying the work out, I find it hard to do the side lounges.. as my right knee is really bad, (popped out of joint a coiuple times around 10 yrs ago, and has never been the same since!) :( I am extremely out of shape, but am finding my endurance is getting a lot better, even after just 6 days! I am SO proud of myself for doing it and keeping with it! pushups.. ha.. def knees for me! Every day i notice a difference even if it's just a little one!! :) Also I LOVE mfp for tracking everything!! I've lost 5lbs just tracking food, tomorrow 'weigh/measure-in' day... wish me luck!!
  • ... wish me luck!!

    Good Luck! :smile: It is quiet demanding on the knees, but I read that level 2 and 3 are not so bad for the knees.

    I'm starting tonight! Add me, I definitely need to motivation to stick to it. I need to get over the, "I'm too tired from work" excuse, but I'm totally motivated right now to start after reading all of your posts!

    Day 6 level 1 DONE! ! Did all the push-ups, woosie style, without any problem today. Big change from day 1. I might try a ''real'' one or two tomorrow. Cardio still kicking my butt, even when I use my inhaler before I start :sad:

    The ones that kill me are the arm. The side lunge, I'm fine with the lunge it's the arms that kill me. I cannot raise to eye level and the squat where you raise weights. I can squat further than day 1 great burn in thighs but I want to die lifting the weights! !

    Progress is progress. I am proud of myself.

    I'm about to do day 5 as well and have the same issue. I really hope I can at least lose inches because the scale is showing a gain. :-(.

    Oh, I'm so happy I found this group! I just finished day 5 this morning, right on track with you guys, lol! I have noticed a bit of a difference, my back is looking a bit more defined, by arms are toning up and by thights are getting hard! The place I havent noticed much is my stomach which is by major trouble area as I'm sure it is with many of you. Maybe we can all do Jilians 6 week 6 pack after the shred!?!?
  • Day one just completed, as my dvd player is my laptop I still havent moved from the floor, feel free to add me though i am sure the support would be welcomed!!!

    Day 5 under my belt....I was able to do the jumping jacks and jump rope easier today...they are the toughest for me.
  • started 30DS 4 days ago, kinda new on here and would love for you guys/gals to add me so we can have a good support group.
  • I moved on to Level 2 (today was day 2) after 7 days of level 1. I nearly died, at least twice. Level one was easy except for the stupid arm side squat things. Level 2 might just be the death of me! I didn't take pictures or measure but I've lost about a pound since starting.

    For those about to start..

    I'm on day 9 today and daunted to move on, I weighed on a pharmacists scales for body fat 5 days ago and again today. Within 5 days I'm down 0.9% 1kg of body fat!!! no movement at all on my regular scales but that means I've swapped 1kg of bumpy lumpy fat for lean muscle!

    Bring it on Jillian!!

    Day 9 for me today.. bit daunted about going up a level.. i've had day 10 in my head, so thats tomorrow!! OMG
    Bit alarmed to read it kills you! lol

    I'm pleased to say I'm down 0.9% body fat and thats 1kg less on the scales I weighed on. feels good because my bathroom scales still don't move! lol

    Anyway, onwards and upwards if you're just starting have faith.
  • So, I started last week on Tuesday... Skipped Wednesday - Friday. Wednesday because I was REALLY FREAKIN SORE! Thursday and Friday I was at work running around so I counted that as my exercise for those days. I'm a nurse, so when I say run, I mean walking at a really fast pace, unless there is a code or something! LOL Thursday I was still sore while at work and walking around from Tuesday. Saturday I did it again and am going to do it after I get off of here. =D In total, with my calorie counting and doing all of this stuff, I have lost another 3.5 pounds over the weekend! ^^ I feel so proud of myself! =D Anywho.. Time to get started! Oh yeah, and STRETCH STRETCH STRETCH! Before and after this workout too! =D
  • I just started the 30day shred yesterday, and it was harder than I thought. I had to take a couple 5sec breaks. How do you add the shred a to your excercises?
  • I have been doing 30 DS since Feb. 7th. Now on day 6 level 1. Trying to do it every day, but had to skip one day because of knee pain. Have realized that the high impact moves like jumping jacks really hurts my knee. I am substituting jumping jacks with power walking with jumping jack arm movements and and the boxing cardio. Is any one else having to modify for the jumping jacks?
  • I'm on day 2 ! Feel free to add me :)

    Today I will do Day 6 of the 30 day shred. I started last wednesday doing it every day with only taking Sunday off for rest day. I am also running on the treadmill as well as the 30 day shred. I am doing level 1 for 10 days then will do level 2 for 10 days and finish up with level 3 for the remaining 10 days.

    Anyone have any really good results?
  • I am starting my 30 day shred tonight as well! I am up for the challenge. This sounds like fun.

    can I join 10 days in? I'll be repeating it as have a way to go.
  • The arm things kill me too! I keep trying to focus on doing the squat without falling over and forget my arms, and if I focus on my arms, I almost fall over cause I place my feet wrong during the squat... LOL So... I skip the arms.. LOL Just out of not wanting to fall! =D
