    I just started her 30 day shred, I did it for the first time yesterday and I did it today. . The one thing I cant do are the push ups. I can sort of do them but I dont think anyone would consider it a push up lol. Sometimes when doing the jumping jacks i wanna die. I like how it goes by fast and how she tells you why your doing the moves your doing.

    I honestly thought I was going to be more sore than I was today, my shoulders were soar, probably from trying to do the push ups. That almost worries me bc everyone else says they were so soar the next day. Maybe Im not doing it right? I think I am. I only started working out a month ago. I've been doing Zumba and strength training 6 days a week. i wanted to mix up my workout regimen so that's why I started the 30 day shred. Im a little scared to go on to level 2 and I probably wont for at least a week.

    I can't do damn pushups either, but then, I never could. I do 'girl' pushups or inclines. I also wasn't sore as some ppl claim. I figured I'm just more flexible or something but also on the first few days I wasn't putting in maximum, was focusing more on learning the moves & form. I didn't have soreness til I blew out my knee doing #%% jumping jacks.
    Lesson: old ladies should wear knee braces before they tackle Jillian
    cheers

    Oh man sorry about the knee:flowerforyou:

    Thank you! I honestly think I'll do level one twice, because I'm doing the easier versions right now and want to do the more advanced versions before I move on to level 2.

    I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one who pees when doing jumping jacks!! I thought there was something wrong with me... I started wearing pads when doing 30 Day Shred so I wouldn't have to do laundry so often. Glad to hear there aren't as many in level 2. Thanks for sharing honestly about this...I was too embarrased :)

    Just thought I'd throw out there that you should do squats so you strengthen your pelvic floor, so you don't do that. NEVER do kegels. It makes the problem worse.

    For me, Day 1 was the worst. It's makes a difference if you keep moving and go on to day two. Stopping completely will actually make you more sore, if that's possible. I love the cardio, but I'm a cardio nut, so that helps. The most important thing is to keep moving, in small, low impact steps. Don't injure yourself doing the moves, just watch your form. Even if you're moving slower than the girls at first, doing the moves right will keep you from getting injured.

    Really just reiterating what everyone else has said here... I'm on day 8 now. I found day 1 to be a killer and I struggled on day 2, 3 & 4 due to the muscle pain in was in. Day 5, 6 & 7 have been much better - time has gone quicke and although it's still been hard, the resulting pain has completely gone now. What's more, I can feel the results starting to happen as my body is changing shape - I feel tighter and stronger. Sadly the scales show nothing but that's not uncommon for me.

    Did you take measurements before you started? I took my waist, arm, hip and thigh measurements to track them through the levels. I know my weight won't change much by day 30, so I want to see how my body changes instead.

    oh yes make sure to measure! I have already lost some since starting I can't wait until I am done! All the pain will be worth it! I hope to change a lot in 30 days I am hoping that I will be happy with my results :)

    Hello
    Just did Day 1 of 30 day Level 1. I must say I was surprised how sweaty I was, and that my body was shaking for a good while! I've downed two 32 oz bottles of water since. My question is how do you track that under the Exercise tab? I cannot find it under a search.

    I put it under Circuit Training, general.

    I was feeling the same way and went ahead and pushed through day 2, I am tired as all get out right now but not sore like I was beforehand. I say give it what you can, the key to changing is to push yourself right?

    I feel the same way you do. Since I wasn't extremely sore after the first day i feel like maybe I wasn't doing some of the moves right. Damn it! lol. I need Jillian in my house to show me if my back is straight, or my knees or at a 90 degree angle, or my elbows are directly above my chest, etc. If you dont't have the correct form than you might as well not be doing the exercise. LOL, I think Im just being paranoid.

    I think I'll stick with Level 1 for 2 more days then move up to level 2. I still do my usual Zumba dvd's after.

    I just downloaded the Jillian Michaels Banish Fat Boost Metabolism video and her Ripped in 30 videos (week 1, week 2, and
    week 3).

    Have any of you tried those videos?

    I pushed through most of my workout last night, but hubby got home when I was still doing my thing and I shut it off out of embarrassment. :ohwell: :blushing:
