Definitely felt it today! My favorite part was the stretching LOL! Lunges are killing me too. But love a good challenge.
What's your favorite move?0 -
Being the queen of excuses, I had a good one and was tempted to leave the group. Woke up an hour early today and started a load of wash so there wasn't anything to distract me (no kids, couldn't shower, etc.). I feel good (and sore
). The hardest part for me was knowing that 5 years ago before I had kids I would have laughed that this was a challenge. So I am glad that I did it today and look forward to this group so that I can report back and stick with it. I liked the stretching the best. 0 -

Awesome! I'm really happy you stayed. You've got what it takes and I can't wait to see the results. I am babysitting today and am trying to fit in my workout while the kids are napping. Wish me luck!0 -
I am struggling with WHEN to do it!!
I want to get up and do it in the morning but my husband has problems sleeping. so if he is still asleep when I should be getting up to start, I feel guilty and don't want to wake him. figures he starts to sleep when I have something to get up for!
in the evenings before starting dinner, homework, etc, I do a 3ish mile walk with the dog. by the time everything is settled back down, it is too late to think about doing something like this. I am thinking that as the weather heats up I'll take the dog for her walk later and do the dvd right when I get home. (if I can't get it in first thing in the morning)
I know these sound like excuses, but I haven't missed a day. fitting things in with the family has always been the biggest obstacle to my working out.0 -

I agree! It's hard to fit everything into one day! So often I wish I could clone myself lol. If youre worried about waking up your husband has he ever tried earplugs? and an eye mask? silly I know but I cant sleep unless it's totally silent and pitch black. So whenever I travel or sleep anywhere strange I have my trusty earplugs and eye mask (make sure you get one that's dark colored, bought a light green one at first b/c it was cute and IT DIDNT BLOCK THE LIGHT!!! so sad) Keep up the great work! 0 -

Great ! This group is all about not missing a day, no matter what. I feel mornings are the best.0 -

Lunges and squats with weights, because that's where I feel like I am putting strain on my arms. I feel my arms are getting a good work out. I am glad that I took up this challenge.0 -
Day 3 complete. Yes! Abs and legs are so sore all over. Really happy I took up this challenge too. It really has been giving me the focus that I need.
Anyone have a favorite JIllian quote ( she can be so annoying at times!)
mine is while doing the last set of abs".... that pain is fear leaving the body"
I must have a lot of fear cause it hurts every time LOL!0 -
I started 30DS last week, but didn't do it regularly, so I started over yesterday. I'm trying to work out in the mornings, but that got destroyed today, so I am waiting for my girls to go to bed so that I can work out tonight.
I pushed myself good yesterday with the workout, then made the mistake of going to see "The Avengers" after. Pushing my muscles then sitting for 2.5 hours! I almost fell when I stood up! lol
Are ya'll doing anything else with 30DS? I'm trying to add some yoga in, as well as getting back to working on couch to 5k a few days a week.
I am looking forward to going through this journey with all of you! Feel free to add me if you'd like.0 -

When she goes on about how the viewer must want to just turn the dvd off and stop seeing her face... I always yell/grunt "yes" while gasping for air! lol0 -
I find it terribly irritsting when she calls them "buddy" and then goes on to say she would do anything to get abs like her "buddy" in the green behind her. I keep thinking well quit talking and get down and do ab work like the rest of us, you are Jillian Michaels for effs sake!"
LOL0 -
Today my favorite part was when she would mention that it is only 20 mintues and basically said to push through it, suck it up, and finish. That got me through the workout. It was more difficult to get up and do it today. But I did it and hope that in 30 days it will be part of my everyday routine to get up and do a workout. Rain or shine. Tired or not. I do feel accomplished. And I did another load of laundry today by 7am.0

day 4 done...hot here today so it was hard work0

Level 1 Day 4 complete. I can believe that tomorrow will be our halfway point for level one! How is everyone doing? Felt really good today. I love how the jumping jacks tone my calves. I weighed myself today and I am down 2 lbs I think I am losing a lot of water weight. I have given up diet pepsi and drink unsweetened iced tea instead which actually makes me crave more water. For a treat when I am out I get a venti black iced tea unsweetened at starbucks. Very refreshing. Anyone else making changes to your diet? 0

are we only supposed to do each level for 10 days?? why did I think we were supposed to stick to a level for the 30 day period and THEN move up. I was thinking that by day 30 I might not feel like dying before the end of the 20ish minutes.
as for diet changes........when this started I changed my weight loss plan goals to be harder. I wasn't getting the results I wanted with the easier plan. I think it was good to do both at the same time.
yesterday I finally was able to workout in the morning. it was a good start. wasn't able to this morning (my own fault) but plan to be back to mornings again tomorrow.0 -
Definitely feel better on day 5 exercise level 1. soreness is almost gone0

I never do it with shoes on. No negative side effects as of yet.0 -
FInished Level 1 Day 5. Felt great! Still really worked up a sweat. Might up weights for arms not really feeling any burn there anymore. I always wear shoes because my arches hurt if I don't have support. Probably depends on your foot.
I am going to each level for 10 days. Its amazing how different you feel by day 7. Just stick with it. They have modifications at each level. I am always ready for a change by day 10.
Way to shred everyone!0 -
just started my shred last night..loved it! the 20 minutes is just enough and actually went by fast!! im actually looking forward to the workout tonight even though my legs are sore! never felt so shaky after working out..felt awesome hahaha0

Day 4 done. I feel good and am I crazy or am I really noticing results so far. My legs are toned and places that I noticed that were getting flabby are a bit more tight (thankfully). I am using the calorie counter and watching what I eat too (portion control and really thinking about calories). I also notice that the workouts seem less difficult, but I am able to focus on each exercise and movements more. i am very thankful for this group. It is motivating me to continue and not go back to being lazy. 21 days for a behavior change. I can do 30 days and I really want exercise to become part of my daily routine. 0
