    Well good job finishing the first workout, better than I did! 3/4 of the way through it kicked my butt. I have developed a healthy dislike for Jillian Michaels, lol.

    Being sore is a good thing, means you worked those muscles :) The soreness tapers down (in my experience) once you do it a few times. Keep it up, the results are SO worth it! Tomorrow I do day 2 of level 3

    I took three days off after my first day of 30DS! Don't worry, it does get better, but don't be afraid to take a few days off and let your muscles heal. You'll be able to get back at it and you won't be THAT sore again. Hang in there! Advil helped take the edge off for me.

    That means that your muscles are being worked - it's a good thing.

    I finished day 4 today. Slowly, but surely the pain is going away :)

    You'll learn to embrace your hatred of Jillian. I have a very strong love hate relationship her. Mi find yelling at her helps get through it! LOL! That said.....did anyone else see that she's coming out with a new kickboxing DVD?

    I did Day One today and am right there with you! I didn't think I was going to make it through the entire workout and was so disappointed with how unhealthy I am. That said, I did it. Am NOT looking forward to tomorrow. Please tell me it gets easier ;)

    Stick with it! I am doing round 2! I completed round 1 and lost 14lbs and 13 inches! Even after completing it once, I thought my thighs would not be sore this round. Wrong! Not as sore, but still sore! I just took Advil and pushed through. By day 3 or 4 it WILL get better!!

    Yup-- I've been going to the gym for 7 hours a week for the past two months, and was shocked at how much my *kitten* was kicked by D1L1 of 30DS. The upper body stuff (and abs) got me -- my rotator cuff was too sore to continue... for three days!

    Looking forward to making progress :)

    I curse at Jilian (use the F, B word, you name it)....like she can here me.... and I would like to see a 400 lbs person do jumping jacks! (see mentions in her video --" if a 400 lb person can do jumping jacks than you can too!"

    I'm on day 5 of 30DS level 1. I still have to modify the push ups but the first time I could barely do one push up, now I can do them all (modified) .

    ^^^ ME TOO - after day-1 I could barely sit down on the toilet or walk down the stairs for 3 days! The good news is, 4 days later when I started doing it again, I never again had to take a day off due to pain. A few days later I even started doing back-to-back levels without pain. TAKE A REST if you really need it! Then get right back on it as soon as you are able!

    I did day 1 today! Yep, I'm pretty out of shape but I LOVE the feeling I have after a workout. I like the pace of the workout and it doesn't seem like it will be boring to do for 30 days, especially since you can go up levels.

    So, I woke up this morning and I'm purrrretty sore. It's manageable pain and is mostly in my upper arms and thighs ... do you think it'll be okay to continue today or should I rest my muscles for a day?

    Scarily, I did my first day of the DVD yesterday and had so much energy later that I gave the house a vigorous clean and then went for a 30 minute jog with my husband. I NEVER jog. What is this crazy lady doing to me?!

    Yes, Jillian is tough. I worked out with her for 2 days but my knees couldn't take it so I took a break, a paIn reliever, rubbed down in icy hot and met her again after a day. Yeah, Jillian is tough, but Mena is tougher, ya heard! :laugh:

    Jokes aside, hang in there it will get better.
