    Don't be scared - I'm still alive lol

    It took me a bit longer than I thought to recover from the workout, but then I was fine. I'm actually surprised - I'm not as sore as I thought I would be today. My conclusion is that I'm a baby and wasn't pushing myself as hard as it felt :) I'm sure in another couple of days I will start to feel like I can do it!

    First time was friday was hard sweated buckets legs ached for days haha, Now Tuesday still sweating buckets legs are wobbly definitely still feeling the burn haha
  • Just did day 2 yesterday... sore as HECK! lol Just the legs are sore though, really.


    And let me tell you what... 2 minutes of jumping jacks switching to jump rope and back just about makes me want to die. I have to fight SO HARD to keep myself going. haha

    Going for day 3 today... I hope I make it! :X

    I hate hate hate jumping jacks!!
  • I hate hate hate jumping jacks!!

    I find that they are especially bad because I have a nice roll on the front and a very large chest... the bouncing just doesn't feel good at all. I wear a regular bra with 2 sports bras over and it still isn't great. lol :( Hopefully this will change all of that a bit.

    My day 1 wasn't horrible...but it was bad. My legs still hurt and it is day 3 (will do workout this evening when I get home) The two things I hate the jumping rope and those damn bicycles at then end!!!!!

    It is nice to feel the burn though, actually feels like it is working!

    I need a bra for my stomach! haha, can't wait till that flab stops flapping when I'm jumping!
  • Just finished up day 3. Whew, I'm sore. I have to PT with my unit everyday as well. Today we did Crossfit to include 10 push ups, 10 sit ups, 10 squats, and 5 burpees. 5 rounds of this and then 30 DS my body is wanting to kill me! Hey only 27 more days to go! Keep up all the good work ladies :)

    ok, so day 2 down... I actually felt little better during this round :) Ithink that knowing what to expect helped a little. Great work everyone! can't wait to hear from more of you as you get your DVDs and get rolling!

    O m geee! I think I died. My arms are numb and my legs feel like spaghetti noodles. And I definitely took more than a few 5 secondish breaks.

    I had been doing her beginner DVD since Easter, and that is 45 minutes long. According to mfp, I burned more calories doing that than this one, but I don't believe that. Maybe that's why my weight had stalled. I was over estimating calories burned and then eating my exercise cals back. This was definitely harder than the beginner one. I guess my next "me" purchase is going to have to be an HRM.

    Lolol I said this to my daughter. Need a bra for my fat roll because it hurts bouncing, and makes a disgusting slapping noise besides...
  • Just finished day 6! Finally did every last one of those push ups...the real deal ones :) my calf started hurting pretty bad during the jumping jacks, but I hung through the rest of the video. Lesson of the day, don't help a co-worker move, do an hour spin class, then try 30 day shred.....My body hates me right now!

    It was day one for me and after everything I heard about it, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it was so hard but I enjoyed knowing that it must be doing something good. Day 2 soon if I'm not in agony from day one that is.
