Good Morning Everyone!

I have a confession to make. I have not seen Jillian since starting this challenge. :blushing:

I thought you were gonna say your telly is sound only - no pictures :laugh: :laugh:

Now, missus, get your butt in gear and join in :happy:

We often start with the very best of intentions then life has a habit of getting in the way!!

I've just done my Level 1 challenge today and enjoyed it though I know I'll be aching tomorrow. I thought I was quite fit until I started 30DS and now realise that I am aerobically fit but my muscles definitely need work!

I did "Day 5" of the "Making the Cut" (MTC) program today! I feel great! Hope everyone has an awesome day!

Hi! I am on level 2 of 30 Day Shred. I have 4 days left on this level. (I started a few weeks ago, but joined here b/c after the 30 DS, I wil start Killer Buns and Thighs) Life most certainly does get in the way! We should just push on, accept when we really can't do something, and try again tomorrow! I mentioned this on an earlier topic discussion, but I planned my 30 Day Shred to go straight through without any days off and was very serious about it. Then I got strep throat and COULD NOT do it! I had to take 3 days off so far, but I realized the important thing is getting right back when I can!
We got this!!!!

Did Day 4 of Level 2 last night (I work out in the evenings as I am at work during the day) and it was HARD! She lulled me into a false sense of security the first couple of days, but my muscles are now screaming by the time I am two thirds through and the last circut is completed on pure determination only! The chair squats with v rise are a KILLER :sad:

I have a day off on Saturday as we are away for the weekend at a motorcycle rally and there's nowhere to plug in the DVD in the tent :laugh: I will work out Friday morning before we go and again sunday night when we get back, but Saturday can be a day off for exceptionally good behaviour thus far - I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to it

I totally hear you on the chair squats w. v raise. And the last circuit is KILLER!!! I really pushed myself today to try and perform nearly all Natalie moves and am feeling it now! You enjoy your day off! You deserve it!!

day 4 of shreeding and counting to a new shape

I have a question and just need some opinions please.
Does anyone see an issue with doing the 30DS once in the morning and then again in the evening?
I am asking because I might miss a day and was wondering if anyone has done this or find that it would be to much on the muscles. I am not talking about doing this as a regular thing but just on occasion. What do you all think? Thanks

I was wondering the same thing. I do it in the morning 3 days a week and hit the gym in the evening.

I am ready to workout with Jillian!

I will be doing W1/D3 of Ripped in 30 tonight.. Sick or not sick, I have to make sure I stay on track. Took a break last night, but it's on tonight! (that is of course if I'm not on my death bed!)

I'm doing my own rotation of the DVD's I own. Back to my favorite today--BFBM!! It kicks my butt but I love how accomplished I feel afterwards! Friday is my day off then NMTZ on Saturday. We can do this, girls!

Day 4 of 30DS coming up this afternoon. I'm looking forward to it. Especially because I saw the first change on the tape measure today!!! This is starting to work!

I am going to do day 4 Level 2 of 30DS today..actually day 4 was supposed to be yesterday,but i felt very lethargic and couldn't do it,so i am gonna try and do x2 today..but i actually tried to do it earlier today and i quit like 7 minutes into the video because i just didn't feel all that INTO it earlier..But i am going to try and push through it with all my will..!

So long as you are eating enough, hydrating, and aren't injuring yourself, there shouldn't be an issue with working out more than once a day. Definitely listen to your body though. If your knees are killing you, don't do another 30ds, instead, go swimming, or use the eliptical. Or take a day off. It's important to work out but it's more important to be smart and healthy about your fitness goals.

Three to four times a week I tack on a strength training routine to my 30ds. When 30ds is over, I'll find another cardio and weight training routine. I also do extended stretching or yoga nearly everyday. I've neglected my body for too long and really want to be in shape besides just losing weight.

Good luck everyone!! Don't give up and don't stop!! 30 days is nothing.

Day 4, Level 2......

I am OK with most of the strength stuff, but some of the jumping up and down in the cardio is really making my calves ache and my arms and shoulders are really ahcing with all the plank based work too. Did I mention the plan obliques and those ghastly V raises too :sad:

Ah well, despite all that I am still up for it again tomorrow. I will have to do a morning session though instead of my usual evening one as we are off for the weekend after 10am and I won't be near a DVD until Sunday evening (we will be in a tent!).

We can do this ladies
