    THIS I soooo hate the side lunge with the arm raise. Arms have been burning since D1

    Hi MrsA. Yeah its really tough. I notice that you said you are really stiff today - I was too for first 3 days but I'm not too bad after today. A little stiff but its kind of nice rather than painful.

    Count me in! I just finished Level 1 Day 2 about half an hour ago. It kills but I love it! I'm hoping my upper body strength improves because the push ups KILL. Let's keep each other motivated!!!

    I hate those side lunges too! I just finished Level 1 Day 2 and I'm so sore. The pushups and second set of jumping jacks also kill.

    Finished L1D4, and I think today has been the roughest day so far. I have started about 5 times before and this is usually how far I've made it. I WILL do Day 5 tomorrow. The weekend is my big test!

    I did day two last night and my legs are killing me! I'm hoping if I do day three today that I will be able to stick with it for the duration, and eventually be able to walk without paing again!. Feel free to add me. :smile:

    D3L1 was better, I am still semi-sore but not half as bad as yesterday. I am able to do almost the full minite of push-up, but those side lunges and arm lifts-I still need work, though I only missed 4 in the 1st session and 4 in the second session.

    My legs refuse to hurt, as well as my abs, slight discomfort but no real pain, but my arms....:sad:

    I had to put my weights down (5lb) for part of the side lunges.

    I was wondering........is everyone doing it for 30 days in a row (or trying to!)?

    Hi everyone,
    day 5 done today. Have to say that the soreness I felt earlier in the week is practically gone now.

    @mccollumse - I'm going to try do it 30 days in a row. I've only been using litre cartons of juice as weights thus far but starting with 2kg weights tomorrow so maybe when I get to level 2 or 3 I'll need a rest day. At the moment my thinking is that its only 20 minutes so I can push through the soreness. Also, i find the side lunges an absolute KILLER. I did all of the first set of them today though and only missed 2 in the second set so must be improving.

    Inspired by some other threads on here, I took some 'before' pictures this evening in tightish running bottoms and a sports bra. God God I have a long way to go! Absolutely no tone whatsoever on my body. Can only get better I guess. I have a 6 month old baby so I'm kind of using that as an excuse but the real reason is about 20 years of sporadic (at best) exercising and dieting/overeating. Really hope to get a hold of myself this time.

    Talk tomorrow.

    Skipped day2 because I went to circuit class at the gym this morning. Between L1D1 and circuit, I am seriously sore. Planning to do L1D2 tomorrow and maybe go for a run or walk, if I can move that much.

    I read that Jillian recommends 2 days shred, 1 day cardio, 2 days shred, 1 day cardio, 1 rest. But, that doesn't quite fit my schedule so was thinking of 1 day shred, 1 rest, 1 day circuit, 1 day shred, 1 day cardio plus shred, 1 rest, 1 day cardio plus shred. Thoughts?

    Question: if you also do extra cardio, are you doing it on the same days as the shred? Do you do cardio first, then shred? Or vice versa?

    I started the 30 day shred today! FEEL FREE TO ADD ME!

    A 30 day goal is perfect for me as well. I needed something new and different (why pay for a summer membership to my schools rec when I can run outside for free and this dvd only costs 7 bucks ???), and this challenge seems perfect. I'm planning to run 3.5 miles 5x a week, along with this video and dieting.

    L1D5 Complete!!! I think I might have made it over my hump. This is the furthest I have made it on this program. If I feel up to it, or have enough time, I want to do her Backside video today as well. Then I will be ready for Day 6 on Monday :)
