I finished 15 minutes ago, and I'm STILL shaking.. please tell me it gets easier..

I wanted to DIE.. sad part is that I had the toughest time with jumping jacks and butt kicks. My biceps kill right now and I'm prepared to wake up tomorrow morning in pain.

    It does get better! I just started level 2 and that is really doing a number on me, I will suggest stretching your legs longer than what she does in the video. When I started stretching longer and better I noticed my legs didn't get as sore and tense up.

    It gets so much easier. Infact, in my experience, Level 1 will eventually get so easy that you will look forward to 2. Keep it up girly!

    what weight are you using? I started using 5lbs but found that they were too heavy to start w/ so moved to 3lbs. ... now I'm on day 6 and I am back up to 5lb on all the moves except for one. Yes the cardio kicks my butt too still (especially the jump rope) but just push thru it. try turning on music ( I found that it helped me get thru the whole work out.) I'm still waiting for it to get "easy" but as they say NO PAIN.. nogain. :|

    Im not gonna lie, the next few days are gonna be rough BUT it WILL get better! I am currently on round 2, day 6 level 1. I lost 14lbs (also did zumba) and 13 inches my first round of 30DS! Stick it out! You will get great results!

    I used 3lb weights the first round and am using 5lb weights this round.

    Stick with it dear, it gets easier. This is my first round and am on day 17 level 2. I also go to aerobics or at least 1 hour at the gym 5 days a week and i have lost a dress size already as my body has toned a fair bit. My energy level has improved and i can my fitness level has improved too. Cant wait to the end of the 30days to see the final result. I use 3kg weights, for most of the moves. Stick with it.

    This may be a really dumb question but I've seen alot of people taking about the 30ds, may I ask what it is? I only ever use the app on my phone to log my food etc and have only come on this main site since yesterday so I'm not sure of a lot of the abbreviations that you all use! Thanks :-) x

    Yes, though they carry it at Target and Walmart. And yes, she's the woman that used to be on The Biggest Loser.

    It gets a lot easier! i'm on day 16 of the 30 Day Shred and i'm on Level 2, Level 1's too easy for me now! Never thought i'd be saying that after i couldn't even finish Level 1 the first time i tried - i also had the 'I'm gonna die' feeling!

    I started it last year on got up to day 3 level 2. Started it again last month and I am now on Day 4 of level 3. It is very hard at first but in a few days it will get easier and the Jumping jacks and jump roping kicked my butt, but now I can do them no problem. I Hate level 2 (Most difficult for me) and love level 3 and looking back now level 1 is not so bad. Stick with it. good luck.

    the first time i did it i hurt like hell i could barely walk when i was done but i did and i actually walked a lot after that and that helped. I pushed threw and did it the next day and the next. after day 3 most of the pain was gone. I am on day 8 today and planning to start level 2. I might actually die..lol

    Ive done it.... I felt really sore for the first few days, my legs were killing and I ached but if you push through its worth it.. I got Ripped in 30 and Im on week 2 of that but am not committed to it like I was the 30DS, I think its because Im trying to run more... I have entered a 5k in July so really want to concentrate on that.... it was not light enough to get out in the morning when I was on with the 30 ds so I did it 6 times a week. I never measured although I wish I had.

    In my opinion it really does tone you up... its the best all round 20 minute workout Ive ever come across anyway..... If you prefer cardio then her Banish Fat Boost Metabolism dvd is a good one...... :0)

    It's amazing how differently people respond to something like this! I'm on day 9 - just one more workout then I start level 2. I've always thought I maintained a reasonable level of fitness with regular workouts and mountain hiking once a week or so but my first day of 30DS was torture! Day 2, 3 and 4 were actually worse because I was in so much pain from day 1!!

    However, it has been much easier the last few days. I've only been using 1kg weights though. I've started using 2kg for chest flys and the lunges and squats but the side lunges with arm lifts kill me... And the push-ups!! Ouch!!! ...and I'm doing the women's pose - on the knees! I'm literally scared of the proper push ups becaus I find them so hard!

    The good news - for both of us - is that it definitely does get easier! :)

    I just started it today too! And yes, it totally kicked my butt. That's what we're here for, right? I'm sure it will get easier as we go. Just keep at it! We can do this!! =D

    PS~ Feel free to friend me if you want! I'm big on encouraging my friends =D

    No need to wait until tomorrow for the 'pain', just wait until later tonight when you want get up off the chair, your legs will protest!!

    I have just completed day 4 of level 1 and pleased to say my legs do ache slightly less today. I too dislike the butt kicks! Think i will be swapping the routine and doing them first, then the jumping jacks which suprisingly I dont' appear to have so much of a problem with.

    Cannot imagine i will be moving onto next level supposedly in six days time, but who knows I might suprise myself, I can but hope!!

    Good luck, keep with it and part of the reason I am motivated to keep going is because of all the great results everyone keeps posting on completion of the 30days shred. I WANT those results too!!

    First of all let me say "YOU CAN DO IT"!! I completed Day 10/ Level1 on Sat 3/10.(I have already lost 3lbs ) Today is my Day 13/Level 2. To me level 2 is a beast! Level 1 compared to Level 2 makes me miss Level 1. Julian works the ENTIRE body & you will see the results!

    I did level one day one like a week ago and i was so sore in my thighs i could hardle move. I skipped the next night because i was so sore and well now its a week later and I still havent done it since! But i told myself TONIGHT is the night that i will start it back up again and even if i am sore i will still keep going and i will finish the entire 30 days! I use 3lb weights when doing it. I tryed 5;b weights but they were just to heavy. My body just shakes and burns with the 3lb weights.

    I see on some of these forums that some people dont start off w/ weight @ all but improvise w/ water bottles and other things if the 3lbs are to hard for ya.
