    Day 4 done for me and I gotta say my legs are sore so are are my arms/shoulders, but hope to continue.

    What else are people doing with 30DS or just this? Would love to get some ideas, as I am not sure if 25mins is enough for a day.

    I've been doing another 30 min of cardio. Every other day some weight lifting and occasional Zumba.

    Done w/ Day 6!

    Moved up to Level 2, which is hard. I'm still kinda panting, as I type this (as beads of sweat drips down my back).
    Doesn't help w/ my 7.5# dumbbells.

    Good thing I dragged my butt out of bed at 4am to do Day 5 (before leaving for BoyScout camping trip). Would have been tough to do workout 5 (level 1) and 6 (level 2) on the same day.


    30DS is just the cherry on top of my other usual work-outs:
    - Monday: Muscle Conditioning
    - Tuesday: Turbokick
    - Wednesday: Zumba
    - Friday: Body Pump

    I also try to run 5K, bike, and hike in between/weekends.

    Keep up the good work everyone!!!

    I was posting on the Hi Shredders board and was wondering where everyone was lol! I am on day 7 level 1. Endurance is getting much better but still not able to do unmodified pushups. I can get through about 8 normal ones and then have to switch. Everything else is going well. Not looking forward to mountain climbers which if I recall are part of level 2.

    Done w/ Day 7 of 30DS level 2. Now I'm feeling some of the soreness, in my arms. Had to drop down to 5# weights a few times.

    I think I have to go back down to Level 1 tomorrow, since it's my crazy intense Turbokick day.

    Take it 1 day at a time w/ the pushups.
    Last year, I started doing pushups, such as 15 in a row. Then somehow I got a goal in my head to do 50 in a row. I didn't think it was possible, especially when I was stuck at 40 for almost 2 weeks. But slowly but surely, I was able to reach my goal.
    1 day at a time. You can do it.

    W/ the mountain climbers, I need to slow it down to concentrate on my form. At that point of the workout, I am panting (from the ?high knees or twist or something), so I just try to whip out the climbers. But next time, I need to focus on keeping my abs tight to help strengthen my back, etc.

    Keep up the good work.

    Tonight I will be doing Day 3 of Level 2. My shoulders are killing me from the planking exercises. I still cannot do more than a couple of real push ups but I am thinking I will be able to after I finish level 2. It seems very challenging for my upper body.

    I have not lost weight doing the 30ds. I took before photos and measurements and I have forced myself to wait until day 15 to re-take them to see if I have at least been losing inches. Hopefully I have.

    Some days I feel like I look skinner, other days I feel like a giant. lol

    Ditto.
    Actually afraid to get on the scale, but I am not getting on the scale for another week, so hopefully I'll see more definition/progress by then.

    Day 8 is done for me.

    I usually do each level for 10 days but I see others don't? I like level 1 and 2 but not 3 so I like to drag the 1st two out a little. I don't feel like level 3 is hard enough plus I guess I like the exercises better on the first two levels.

    Right now I walk for an hour a day plus can have an active job but sounds like I need to step it up! I will start training for a 7 mile run here soon since I took a break from running. I would like to do more weights but I just don't have enough time in the day for all of what I want/need to get done :laugh:

    Day 8 of level 1. I am going to stick to the plan of 10 days on each level. I tried on a pair of pants this morning that I have been able to button but have been extremely tight and lands a mighty they were actually lose. Funny how the results are not really showing on the scale but I can tell in my clothes. I will take that as a non scale victory.

    I am planning to ramp up my cardio workouts so that I will see some weight loss as well as toning.

    Congrats to all who are doing so well with the shred it!

    Thanks for the encouragement. This morning I made it to 9 each time so that is a considerable improvement over where I was this time last week. My arms and stomach are so weak but I know with time I will get stronger!
