Not sure if I shoudl post in here as I did Day 1 of Level 2 last night.

I feel OK today. It is TOUGH but I was surprised how much I could manage at Natalie's level and how little I ache this morning (although the achy bits are very achy!). My upper body is still definitely much weaker than the bottom, but things are really starting to improve - I even managed the proper straight legged walk out push ups last night (not much push up yet though!). My stamina is improving hugely as well - the cardio is tougher, but at least I don't feel as if I am going to pass out from lack of oxygen any more :frown: I am not even going to mention the abs section at this point in time :sad:

I am away on business overnight but am taking my DVD with me in the hope that I might get the opportunity to fit it in - after all it is only 20 minutes!

C'mon folks - we can do this :happy:

Hi - I started last Monday but still wanted to be part of this challenge. I am on Day 6, Level 1 of 30DS. I do two days of this and one day of Elliptical. I have bad knees so I want to take it easy. Day 6 still kicks my butt. I am sweating buckets as I am typing this. Wasn't sure if I could do this first thing in the morning but I did. What a great way to start my Monday! I really really hope I lose the inches that everyone else has since I am not losing any weight yet. Good luck to all!

Juat about to do Day 1. level 1. If you don't hear from me again. It was nice knowing you all!!! x x

Thank you for starting this group! I have a busy month of college ahead of me so the 30 day shred will be replacing my hours at the gym ! Still gunna try go there a few times a week for cardio. I've done level one a few times can't wait to try level 2 Good luck everyone!!

I just finished the "Day 2" workout from "Making the Cut". It was a bit easier than the workout from yesterday, which made me feel nauseated! This workout is ROUGH. However, I felt great afterwards!

I'm going to 6 week 6 pack when I get home from work tonight and possibly day 11 - level 2 30DS depending on how dead I am after my first attempt at 6W6P. I'll let you know how it goes.

Today is cardio day. I am doing banish fat and boost metabolism.

Today I will be doing 30 DS Level 1 and Quick NMTZ. I'm 16 days into this and feeling great!!! Happy Shredding

I finished Level 1 Day 1 of 30DS nearly two hours ago. I was about ready to give up a quarter of the way through as my arm and leg muscles were already screaming. After a moment's rest, I continued with the modified exercises and was able to finish the whole workout. Hurray!

Now I can feel a slight soreness on my arms, thighs and butt... I'm pretty sure the soreness will be more prominent the moment I get out of bed tomorrow. :ohwell: no pain, no gain.

Did day 1 yesterday. I can only do 10 regular pushups. the rest are the modifed version. I am having trouble doing the side lunges. I am not coordinated enough to move to the side and stick the butt out at the same time. That whole knee forward things she says not to do-thats me. I can do it on one side more than the other. Any advice?

I am ready!

What a great idea! I was planning on restarting the 30 days shred today anyway! I kind of stalled around level 2 day 8 last times and it's been about 3 weeks, so i'm guessing I should just restart to be ready for level 3. I will likely throw in some fast fix kickboxing on days I don't run. YAY! I'm so excited, hoping this group will keep me motivated to get through the whole 30 days this time!!

I used my HRM to capture the calories burned and created the exercise under Cardio but titled it 30 DS Strength & Cardio.

This is a great group! I love Jillian Michaels and I have most of her DVD's.

Today I will be doing Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, it is one of my favorites! I just got my HRM in so I am excited to see how many calories I will burn.

I just finished level 1 of 30 DS ... like JUST finished. I'm drenched and sore already but I feel so energized!
