    How are you feeling today? Funny enough, I'm in some ways looking forward to that post-day-one workout pain. It's been so long. [I just had a baby almost 6 weeks ago]

    Not at all! By day 6, your muscles have become stronger and have adapted to those particular moves. On day 7 of level 1, you can try increasing the intensity of each move a bit to give your muscles a little more of a challenge.

    I'm finding the first circuit really tough! I've done Days 1 and 2 and am taking a two day weekend break, each time I've had to stop after the first circuit for a short break but have then done the second two in one go (just about) fine. Not sure if it's harder or I'm just taking a while to get into it, I may go for a 10 minute moderate to brisk walk beforehand tomorrow.

    Good idea, a little warm-up walk to get your body prepared. Let us know how it works for you.

    Pretty okay the next day but doing it again the second day was rough! I felt like I wanted to vomit afterwards.

    I just got the dvd in the mail and I think I am working up the nerve to start. I might just wait until the 1st.

    Hello all, I started 30 day shred level 1 today. Honestly, there were moments that I wanted to rest but I made it through! I wish my kids hadn't lost my measuring tape so I could measure today but if I can't find it soon I'll just have to use my stats my a few weeks ago.

    I burned 199 calories and I am pouring with sweat ( and I'm used to 60 intens minutes on the elliptical)

    Just completed Day 3 Lvl 1, brief pause after the first circuit to give myself a shake and have a big drink, that jumping jacks/skipping combo kills me. But I did keep up much better today and feel a helluva lot better after finishing :happy:

    Yes I think you are supposed to do it every day for 30 days. I'm doing it every other day however because I'm also doing C25K.

    I did day 1 yesterday of level 1. That was tough! The hardest part for me was the jumping jacks. I have horrible knees and literally cannot jump on both feet at once without exacerbating the pain. This was discussed with my doctor, so I use a substitute move that has just as much intensity and works the same muscles. I am hoping when I lose some weight my knees will be able to take it, but for now it is what it is.

    Today I was supposed to do my cardio on the stationary bike, but my quads are so sore! So water jogging it was instead. Great workout and burns great. Back to 30ds this afternoon for day 2.

    Just finished day 2 of level 1. Whew! I may need an advil tomorrow before my day 3 workout. :P I'm glad I got through today, though. I was thinking about just walking, but pushed through instead. Time for a good stretch!

    Actually Jillian recommends you take day breaks. I'll be doing 2 days 30DS, 1 day cardio, 2 days 30DS, 1 day cardio, 1 rest day. I have it all spelled out on my calendar and should finish the 30 days around mid may. I'm also planning on doing 30 minutes of stationary bike in the evenings every day.

    I was under the impression no rest period but some people have changed the routine ... My goal is to work straight through!

    I did day 2 today but I did ripped in 30 days instead of 30 day shred- same concept though.

    was a little sore in the arms from yesterdays day 1 of thr 30day shred and I wanted to see how different ripped was. Considering mixing them up so I don't get bored. I was drenched in sweat after I was done and burned 243 cals so t was a good day.

    Wanted to get up before work to do it but was too tired. Hopefully, I can get up early tomorrw and do day 3 .
