    I started the 30 day shred on Sunday (April 1) as well, I am doing my workouts at night - its the only time I can really fit it in.
    I have only done 2 days and damn I am feeling it today, my chest muscles are super sore, my thighs and quads are tight. I think I will try stretching more before and after. I have not worked out in over a year and my body is crying but I am good at ignoring temper tantrums so I can just suck it up and get thru the 30 days I am really looking forward to seeing results. I took before pics and measurements as well so i will post my progress at the end.

    I did my second day yesterday, and I am not sure if I can do it again today! Everything but my face, hands and feet hurts! I want the results I've seen posted on this site but I don't know if I can keep it up when it's hard to go from sitting to standing.

    You can do it girl. I can barely walk or sit without wanting to cry, but it gets better. Just don't stop :)

    I don't know if this helps anyone, but so far, I've done 2 days of level 1 of the 30DS with a HRM.

    I'm 5'8, 153 pounds, female, and I tend to exercise 3-4 times/week. I have been using 5 pound weights for level one.

    Including the short warm up and cool down (est. about 27 minutes), I have burned anywhere from 187-210 calories (in level 1). Some of my MFP buddies have logged it under circuit training, general and it seems to be fairly accurate,

    My thighs are sore. That is my biggest problem area, so I am happy to know I am doing SOMETHING! I have walked some during the day both days (started Monday) and that helps. I am embarrassed to say I hurt myself on the first day, on the initial stretches. Right where my arm meets my body is sore. I over-did the move where you swing your arms in and out. Uggghhh! At least I am the only one who saw me do it.

    I know the feeling, but we can do it ! ! ! !

    It hurts because its working, and your body is getting used to it....as you push thru the pain it will get easier. It's only 20 minutes a day keep going (that's what I am telling myself...because I am right there with you...I do not want to be in pain anymore, but I don't want to be fat anymore either)

    I am going to be starting it again today. I attempted it in March and got to day 7 of lvl 1, but then got sick and I had to stop. I can not wait to get back into it, though I am dreading the beginning. I hope that it isn't quite as bad as last time. I will take all of the support that I can get and hopefully I can stick with it!!

    :smile: I'm also starting today too! Good luck to us all! :)

    Oh, and I'm using my HRM for calorie count. But I've heard to count it as circuit training in the exercise menu.

    I'm 10 days in and the calorie burn that is on the net might not be accurate. I use a Heart Rate Monitor now so I have accurate results. I was over estimating with the numbers floating around. Good luck! It's so fun to pretend to punch Jillian in the face!

    Late getting started here, our DVD came in yesterday but we were already committed to our 4 mile walk last night so we will start tonight. I bought it for my wife based on the great results on here, but I told her I would do it with her so we'll see how it goes. Good luck to everyone and looking forward to seeing all the success stories at the end of the month!!!

    How are you all doing with the pain? I finished day 2 last night, and every part of my body aches. I'm doing day 3 tonight though, but wow. I can't walk without feeling the burn lol


    If you join the group for the 30DS they tell you Jillian doesnt' reccomend doign it for 30 days straight She recommends doing 2 days 30DS then 1 day cardio then 2 days 30DS and 1 day cardio then 1 day rest. It will make it 7 1/2 weeks instread of 4 but I think I will have a better outcome
