Well done you

Day 1 Level 1 complete for me too

Day 1 Level 1 done as well! I think the cardio was harder than the strength exercises, can't wait to look back on level 1 and say whew that wasn't so bad...I wonder how long that will take.

Well I completed Level 1 and Day 1. WOW! I really do hope it gets easier, cause I'm really struggling. On the plus side I love that Jillian is constantly reminding us how to do the steps properly so I'm not worried about doing them wrong and getting no results. She is very supportive that way.
anxiously awaiting my second chance tomorrow.

It will get easier after day 5

and I'm still alive....goot get some lighter weights (all I had was 5 pound ones and I had to drop them and go on weightless ) It was fun, but she kicked my *kitten*! Funny how it didn't look so bad when I preveiwed it (of course I was sitting on the couch when I did that :blushing: ) 1 down 29 to go!!!

haha, I am glad to hear your alive and well! :bigsmile:
That's funny, I did the same thing last month when I bought the dvd. I thought, "psh, that's nothing I can do that"
Then actually doing it about killed me :sick: lol

As far as it getting better it really does. :flowerforyou:
I guess how soon that happens depends on the person, but it gets surprising how fast you'll move up!



Glad to see everyone is having a great first day!I usually do my workout when my daughter takes her 1st name, so only a couple hours to go! We gotta stick with it!!! 30 days isn't that long, and the results will be so worth it in the end!! :drinker:

weights... i am also using a set of 5lb-ers and found myself dropping them on a couple of the exercises throughout the entire series. i pretty much grew up with a slew of exercise videos to choose from (mom's collection, apple doesn't fall far though) ... anywho... one of the videos that she had talked about isometric contractions, meaning that you provide your own resistance for the exercise rather than making use of a weight or a strap to do it. i dropped the weights and used that methodology on the L1 squats with the arm raise and L2 chair squat with a v-raise. this methodology also comes in super handy if you should find yourself having to travel via air and don't want to have to add weight to your bag by bringing along your hand weights!

workout... i am a nighttime shredder myself. IF i manage to roll my @$$ out of bed prior to having to leave for work, i try to get a yoga video in. it's nice to start my day in a focused, zen-like place ... :flowerforyou: (of course then i drive into work in traffic and the zen slips away...hopefully i can regain the focus as i've got deadlines to meet!!) :huh:

I stared the 30 DS last month after over a week ok not doing it, D1L1 was a struggle for me. But I'll keep telling myself I am the master of my body.

Just got my Level 1 Day 1 DONE, also!! I started last month, got a week into it...and stopped for any myriad of reasons. When I saw the opportunity to start again with this group, with a knot of "wonder if I can REALLY commit", I plunged and joined you all!! My cardio still needs work. I noticed I was stronger than the very first time, but still had to slow during Circuit two...and DID finish STRONG on the 3rd circuit. Funny, how I was thinking of the group when I first started telling myself I couldn't WAIT to report...then she made me start CONCENTRATING and all thoughts left the group for my OWN SURVIVIVAL :laugh: I'm just glad I CAN report, and APPLAUD :drinker: (with water), all my fellow JM30DS MFPers! WOW... See ya tomorrow!!

FInished lvl 1 day 1.... I made it threw better this time then i did 2 yrs ago. so that was a plus. it was still a bit of a struggle though. i have an issue w/ the side lunges & arm lifts as well...there was something else that i was struggling w/ but i forgot what it was. lol i'll have to post it tomorrow after i finish day 2 lol.

Good Job everyone on ur 1st day!! (& 2nd for some)

oh also from my experience last time: I was feeling extremely sore the first 3 days then day 4 it was all good. i wasn't struggling from soreness while doing the workout and by day 6 or 7 i was tired of doing level 1 but then come level 2 day 1 i was wishing i was still doing level one. lol

i have not worked out in a while.... this is aparent!! i think i'm never going to stop shaking!! but i made it thru the whole work out

Level 1, Day 1 done. I think I need to lower my hand weights I could barely lift them on the side lunges. I got through it huffing and puffing but its done. Bring on day two.

...and DONE! well almost, call me a stretching snob if you must, but i feel like the stretches that are in the video aren't quite enough, so a bit more stretching for me while i indulge in some BIG BANG THEORY

nighty nighty 30ds-ers ... day 1, level 1 complete... you are well on your way to being shredded. :flowerforyou:

:bigsmile: I really thought I was going to wimp out after the second set of Level 1 lol but I'm just not that type of person (Thank God!)

Sounds like everyone is doing great! Let's get this shredding party started!!!:drinker:

Day 1 Level 1 - Complete! Thank goodness too! I think every muscle is my body is shaking, I'm sweating like a marathon runner, and I'm trying to calm my breathing as I type. Anyone else feel like they're going to throw up after working out like this or am I the only one?

I am sooo out of shape! Sometimes I couldn't complete the exact exercise (jumping) but I kept moving and picked back up where I could in the set. After major back surgery the jarring is sometimes more than I can bear. However, I know if I don't push it, I'll never strengthen.

Way to go ladies! We're doing it!

WTG! You did it! I felt the same way today and felt like I was going to throw up. Be sure to drink lots of water and this will pass before you know it.

I'm running behind rihgt now, but just finished Day 1. Will catch up with y'all shortly!

It was harder than I remember it being - I could hardly catch my breath. LOL
