Hi All!
I had the hardest time yesterday completing just the 26 minutue work out and I modified every workout. I felt defeated but knew I had to go to day 2 no matter what. I've just completed Day 2 and my knees weren't jello this time! I had enough energy to take my dog for a 1 mile walk afterwards! Most importantly I narrowed it down to only a few things that I had to modify:
Jumping Jacks, Jump Rope, Heel Kicks - I did as many as I could then switched to running in place and then did a few more.
Looks like I have an issue with high impact workouts!! At least I was able to narrow it down this time.
Also the bicycle crunches get me. I think I may be too french to do all that movement at once :P
Either way I substituted instead of stopping and feel so much better.
Just wanted to share in case anyone else felt like death on day 1!

    My Day 2 was rough, I won't lie. The bicycle crunches were harder, but could really feel it...I think my form is getting better.

    Thank you for sharing! I think that it'll be important for us to hear and share what is happening and how it affects us.
    Let's keep it up!

    I just wanted to tell you that once you start doing the work out, you won't be in that much pain. Its worth it to push yourself and you will be so proud that you did!

    I was sore crawling into bed last night so I knew this morning was going to be rough, LOL. I'm planning on doing day 2 early afternoon...once my limbs have loosened up a bit.

    Right now, my arms are the most sore. And my legs feel like tree logs :yawn:

    Other than that, things are great LOL!

    However, I did commit to completing this 30 day shred so I will do Day 2 today. I may have to modify the crap out of it, but I will do it.

    (Oh...my 15 year old son was laughing at dinner last night when I was explaining to my husband how challenging the 20 minute work was. So I challeneged him to do it...which he did after dinner. He was moaning getting out of bed this morning, LOL. But he said he's going to try it for all 30 days as well)

    From what I have gathered on messege boards and in my own experience, most of the agony goes away around day 5. I am on day 6 and I am having a really hard time with my knees but the muscle pain is no where near as intense as it was the first four days. Commit to getting to day 5 anyway.

    Just did Day 2 here and Im more sore than Day 1. But that may have more to do with the cold Ive come down with than the video. Still hard, not at all easy, but Im hoping itll get a little easier......just in time to up it to Level 2 Im sure. lol

    Just get up and do Day 2. The pain is actually kind of satisfying today. I'm ready to hammer out day 3 tonight, even if I'm modifying. You've got this. 30 days!!! Just don't give up!

    I complete Day 1 last night and I am feeling it today. I sit at a desk all day which I think makes it worse. I feel better if I keep moving. Day 2 tonight.

    Keep pushing everyone! I completed day 4 and most of my soreness is gone. I honestly didn't think I'd make it this far. The pain is intense the first 3 or 4 days. I hope I am able to progress to level 2 on day 11, but I'm not so sure. I still find it hard to finish level 1. Of course, I tried to do all of it with very few modifications from the beginning. Let's do this!!! I've never been so excited about a workout program before.

    beckysummer burned 229 calories doing 25 minutes of "Circuit training, general"

    Is this what everyone else is using for their exercise????

    I'm on day 3. I still modify some of the cardio moves. I find the butt kicks put too much strain on my ankles so I sub running in place instead. Today I did the jumping jacks most of the way. I was also able to finally complete the set of bicycle crunches.

    Something is always better than nothing. It really does get easier the more you do it.
