    Hello all! I actually just finished Day 21 this morning. I was taking rest days during this from a bad knee, but level 3 seems kinder to my knee so I should be able to do it every day, yay.
    Also, this is the month I decided to do a metabolic reset and eat near my TDEE, so my weight has, of course, gone up, so I'm sure my results will not be the normal. So I'm most likely going to continue 30DS a few days past my time and/or start another of Jillian's DVDs.
    I'm rambling :blushing:

    Hi all, just did Day 2 of Level 1 this morning... my legs are sooo stiff! Anyone have ideas on how to combat the muscle aches and stiffness every day? More stretching maybe?

    Took 'before' pix last week and doing my measurements now. Really hope to see a change in 28 days time...
  • Going to start day 1 today :D:D

    I just did day 1, level 1.
    I liked it. LOVED her encouragement! Only had to stop once for water. Proud of myself.
    Think my legs are going to be really sore tomorrow though....

    I just did Day 1 on Level 1. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

    I found the first circuit to be the hardest but I pushed through and completed the 20 mins. I don't have the DVD so I did it from YouTube, but I found she didn't do too much stretching and cooling down..

    From past experiences when I haven't done enough stretching I will be sore and aching the next day. So added an extra 5 mins of additional stretching.

    Does the actual DVD have a cool down and stretching section?

    I started today! Level 1/Day 1 - I was running out of gas while I was doing it; but it was over before I knew it! LOL
    I think I will have to move to level 2 soon. I am not as sore as others report; but perhaps because I do quite a few other clases at the gym, including Tabata, which is similar. don't know. Maybe I need to apply myself more!!! Definetely, I will be using heavier weights though. So far, so good. She was killing me with the jumping jacks - haha

    I have the instant vids off Amazon and there's about 2 min of warm up and 2 min of cool down. Nothing major. I ended up doing my own thing for cool down.
  • Starting as soon as DVD arrives. Cannot wait. Must do pics and measurements tonight.

    Woot, day 22 done. I really regret not taking pictures before I started on day one since even though I gained weight, I feel more toned.

    Heading upstairs to hit Day 8 with new dumbbells. (Was using 2/2.5 not sure) and bought 5lb ones. Those bicep curls didn't feel hard enough. Why do I want to torture myself, you ask? No clue.

    I do the chest flies and the pulls with 10lbs, the lunge with bicep curl I am going to try with 5lbs and the shoulders raises still with the 2lbs. Those still frikking kill me and I rarely make it without having to drop my arms for at least ONE rep. Dang it. Still working at it though.

    Looking forward to trying Level 2 in a couple days.
