    I'm almost done with level 2 and its been a long time since I have felt this strong. I could only make it 10mins the first time I tried 30DS and was so sore after the second day that I almost quit. But by day 4 the soreness goes away and your body will adjust. I lost 2.5 inches of my waist as of the end of level one. It's a great program. I can't wait to finish....unfortunately my DVD player broke on Monday with 30DS stuck inside :grumble: Hopefully I can bust it open this weekend and save my DVD.

    This is what I did, not sure if it is the best or easiest way

    click "Exercise"
    then "My Exercises"
    then "create exercise"

    this way you have to know have to know how many calories you burned.

    it says

    "If you do not know how many calories you burned, instead of creating a new exercise, it's better to enter an existing exercise in our database that is close to the one you performed. This will at least provide you with a rough estimate of how many calories you burned."

    After 30 DS, I plan to start Ripped in 30...

    Good luck people!!!

    Officially started the 30 day shred today. I was happy to see the posts about how often you do during the week. While I was able to get through the entire workout just fine, I don't think I could do this everyday and still walk and lift my arms. :) I plan on mixing it up with some walking and bicycle riding. I want to lose 30 pounds. We'll see how it goes!

    If you are on level 2 I have a question for you:
    Do you have any tips for the walking push-ups? I can land into a plank just fine it's just getting back up that's the hard part lol

    The way I did it was to bend my knees until I could manage it... eventually you'll be able to do them better and better but I had to start with the bent knees...

    I took 2 days off because of extreme busy-ness and felt like total crap earlier in the day. I did level 1 for 8 days, but felt like moving up to level 2 today because level 1 was just starting to be really easy (the first day I was dying!) I had to do level 2 in 2 parts! I did the first half, went to pick up my son from daycare, fed him, played, and put him to bed, then finished the second half of the video. After finishing, I feel alive again! It's amazing what a difference exercise makes for my mood and energy!

    I just found this & am anxious to try it. Does it involve any extra equipment? I only have myself equipment wise. I'm also glad I found this thread! I'm hoping to keep up with this & have others to keep me on track :)

    I did Level 1, Day 2 today, along with a 5k afterwards. I decided to use 8 pound dumbbells. I'm really excited to see how this helps my upper body!

    Had my first day yesterday, I'm not too sore but a little discouraged. The exercises are simple enough but it's depressing to see how out of shape I really am. Hoping it gets easier. Anyone else struggle with the push ups first day? Were you able to do them by the end of Level 1? Just want to set up realistic expectations.

    Thanks!

    I was discouraged a little bit the first day I did it too, but it does get easier. I could only do about 2 of the modified pushups the first day, but the 4th day I could do alot more. I will only be doing it for the 5th time tonight, but I already feel alot better. You can do it!!

    I did 7 days of Level 1, then a rest day, followed by a cardio day (did the Color Run - a 5k) and then picked up with Level 2... Tonight will be my 5th night of Level 2 and I still find it pretty difficult at times. The hardest for me are the pendulum (sp??) lunges and all the plank/plyo work...
