Hi everyone. Day 2 for me today - Sore tonight! I felt a little tightness up the front of my thighs today and from my underarms stretching across towards my chest. Tonight I am really feeling it. Going up the stairs is sore. Coming down is even worse, lol! I am looking forward to my body becoming accustomed to this stress and finding it all easier. Tonight was difficult as my internet connection kept freezing so it was hard to keep up the continuity....I also ended up doing extra of several of the exercises as I kept going back a bit when it got stuck. I am looking forward to my dvd copy arriving. I'm glad to be doing this though 
How is everyone else doing?

Tonight will be my first night. I am a little nervous. I have started this before made it a few days and quit. I am trying to not lose motivation this time and keep going. I could see result within 7 days last time so I am hoping for the same this time. Good luck to you.0

I keep getting distracted too! ergh. I thought of doing it while my 2 year old took a bath, but then I decided, the rest room is no place for jumping jacks...I meant to get up early today and do it, but I feel as if I am coming down with something. Trying again this evening after work! Oye! No more excuses though!

Yep, after 2 days you definitely start feeling like putting it off - but I just read a load of comments on another thread that say that by day 4 or 5 the pain goes. Can't wait. God I pray for her to count 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 at the end of each exercise, lol! Let us know how you get on outtanms.0

Hi,
I am on day 2 here. Was a struggle to get motivated and put the DVD on after my little one went to bed tonight, but I'm glad I did.
I have sore thighs and abs so far. But am happy with that as I feel like its done something, although I may not be saying that tomorrow when I attempt day 3!!0 -
Did day 3 today thighs and legs in general are quit sore, bring on day 4!!
By the weekend I think I'm going to be crawling everywhere!0 -
Yeh, right now I'm focussing on getting myself out of bed in the morning, lol! Ah no, really - if anyone is reading who hasn't started yet, it's just what you'd expect when you start asking your body to do stuff like this that is out of your normal range and by all accounts another few days should see us through it. I guess that the fact that it is over in under 30 minutes helps you to get through it.0

My thighs are super sore, but I pushed through Day 2 today. My shoulders are tight and I'm having trouble walking around, but I love the feeling, haha. I'm excited to see my results. 0

i just did day 1 and i'm sore, but i'm already looking forward to day 4 or 5 when (i've heard) i won't find it as difficult. i used to do a lot of training like this, but haven't in about a year and a half, so i was surprised to find it difficult but i hope that goes away and i can get back into actually exercising regularly.
did anyone else's neck and shoulders hurt? i feel like that might mean i'm doing something wrong in the ab exercises.0 -
I lift pretty heavy weights, and thought this would be easy...uhmmm nope! The weight part is fine for me..but, not used to jumping and kicking my own butt with my feet. I will gain endurance from this, I am looking forward to it.. Good luck all!

Day 2 was much difficult that Day 1. My thighs are very sore. Arms hurt, even my shoulders are stiff.....and I am exhausted.
But I am pushing though and waiting for Day 5/Day 6 when the pain will magically go away
:drinker:0 -
I too am on day two and I am dreading every bit of it! I was only slightly sore this morning but after a long work shift my soreness is at full maximum. I read the same post that lovely fififox read stating that it was around day four or five that the pain begins to wear and I thought, I can do that! Haha. :bigsmile:
I'm going to go for a nice, long walk with my boyfriend to try to stretch out my muscles. I think that's why I'm so sore - I'm so afraid of the discomfort that I tense up!
I plan to do a little hiking tomorrow morning too, so we'll see how it goes.
I'm so glad for all of your support and just know that I'm here if any of you need a little support too!
Onward to completing my "day two"!0 -
UGH! I felt great today... only a little soreness in my back. (yesterday was day 1) I'd been working on my arms and legs for a couple of weeks, so they aren't as sore as they were when I first started exercising, but my back muscles are feeling it.
Today is day 2, and I haven't done it yet. EEK! 9:41p.m. and I just got home. Today was a busy day. I keep telling myself it's only 20 minutes, though, and I can do this! Soooo.... somebody come kick me in the rear!
Okay... about to go change and get my workout on.
Somebody please ask me later to make sure I actually did get my workout on. 0 -
so excited to start on monday lol. guess no pain no gain only thing is after day 1 when you are sore how can you work at your best day 2. lets see. great work keep it up guys. 0
-
I did not think it was that bad on Monday come Tuesday my calf's hurt like no other. He he now my arms and abs hurt but not as much as my calf's I cant even walk. Day four tomorrow.0
-
Whew! Day two complete. :bigsmile: It was still challenging but much easier than yesterday! I definitely think my leisurely walk that I did to stretch out my legs and my arms really helped. I will definitely continue doing so as a "warm-up" to my "warm-up". :laugh:
I hope everyone else has great success today!0 -

You go girl! I started mine at 9:13pm PST. You can do it! You'll feel great afterwards! 0 -
Hi everyone! You are all doing amazing! I am about to do start day 3...I've got sore abs...sore thighs...sore butt...my arms are fine but I think that's because I was doing it without dumbells...however I went out and purchases a set of 1kg...hopefully they aren't too heavy! I am feeling fantastic though...0
-
Day 3 done for me... and it hurt!! Glad its over with.0
-
I start this on Saturday... YIKES!! Super excited which is kind of twisted lol but nervous as well...0
-
I see some of you have braved the DAY 3 and shined :glasses:
I am yet to do my DAY 3 workout...but I feel great today. I was sore before and after the DAY 2 workout but I think my body is adapting a bit. I feel my thighs and legs overall have this new found strength. I do not think if this is true or it's just in my head
I feel stronger climbing up the stairs or even running to catch the bus/metro! I am happy with this.
I am excited about the DAY 3 workout now. Will update you guys how it goes.
How are all of you doing today? Is the soreness getting better?!0 -
Today is my Day 3. Haven't done it yet, but will shortly.
My thighs are finally okay, but now my calves are on fire. I finally have calf muscles~0 -
Just finished Day 3 - My DVD arrived today so thankfully I had no dodgy internet connection to deal with.
Finding the push-ups (the easy version!) and the bicycle crunches at the end terrible, but managing everything else much better. Funny, my abs haven't been hurting so I was doubting whether I was doing the ab exercises correctly...so I made extra effort tonight and am hoping I am doing them right. I was a bit stiff today - not too bad, and I am hoping that I will be better tomorrow and hopefully find the workout a bit easier. At least I am getting through it even if at times I am finding it a bit unpleasant. I guess that because it is only 20 minutes or so and is broken into 3,2, and 1 minute sections helps you to push to the end of each exercises...like as if the end is always in sight and lots of mini-ends if that makes sense. Well done to everyone who is doing this - whatever day you are on. The main thing is that we are sticking with it!!! Good luck for tomorrow!0 -
Today is day 4 for me. My husband does the workout with me as soon as he gets home from work and it's nice having him motivate me. The first 3 days I was so sore, but today my body is feeling better. Now I'm just looking forward to seeing results!0

oh I hate the push ups! I can't do all of them yet. I think this is what will hold me from moving on to level 2.0 -

So glad I'm not the only one starkers!0 -
I really can't do the push ups not for that amount of time anyway, I do try to keep going with them by sometimes it's a case of not getting all the way down, my favourite part is the last section with the chest flys and side lunges I look forward to that part most in level 1.0
-
This is day 4 for me. My thighs are still sore but not as much. I think my body is finally trying to get use to this. My body probably is trying to figure what in the world I'm doing.
In addition to 30DS, I've also been walking/jogging. It too is getting better. I only do 1 1/2 mile. When I get that down packed then I will increase.
Good luck to everyone!0 -

The pushups, I use to hate. And just to know that a little over a year ago, I did them the regular way. NOT NOW. I'm all knees until I can build my strength back up. I usually get all but the last two pushups and bicycle crunches but today I actually did ALL the pushups and all the bicylce crunches at the end. Yay go me!!!:bigsmile:0 -
Hi everyone day 3 for me....my shoulder blades are killing me and i have bloating and a few stomach cramps from the crunches but overall i think its worth it, im going to push through it!!!! I wish everyone the best0

Oh yea i hate the push ups0
