Hi. Welcome to you all.

LoseSyra - your neck hurting is not good. I reckon it must be the stomach crunches that are causing it to hurt. Try and keep your neck relaxed, stare straight up at the ceiling and don't strain it.
Like Jillian says " the neck is not invited to the party" (or such like).

Today is day 4 for me - still need to exercise, but looking in the mirror this morning, my stomach looks better already! I'm too nervous to take my measurements again, as this weekend I will be in Dublin and won't be able to exercise on Saturday and Sunday, plus I plan on enjoying myself... ;-) Hopefully that doesn't have too great an impact on my road to being slim and healthy!

:-)

Well...i just did Day1... And I am not sure I will continue :-( my cardio is so weak... I can do everything else, but had a hard time cardio wise... I'm thinking I shouls stick with my yoga, walking, strenght and abs training...not sure what to do.
I'll sleep on it and see tomorrow...
Good night all :-)

Hi, I started 30DS for the first time a few weeks ago and was rubbish at the cardio for the first 3 days...I was close to throwing up on day two (didn't help that our heater was on high!). By day 4 my stamina had increased sooooo much and by the end of the 10 days on level 1 I was keeping up with the advanced moves. You will be amazed at how quickly your body begins to adapt and change, and how fast your fitness levels improve! Stick with it, I am not lying when I say I started seeing results by day 5 the first time. I am really hoping I get the whole way through this time!!

thanks, I will try it again this weekend...:-) I don't want to quit right now...I want to give it a try again, for a few days, and see.

I haven't seen any comments from anyone who seems to have been doing the 30DS for more than a couple of days on here so I thought I would comment again. I've been doing 30DS-level 1 for 12 days now, and i asked my boyfriend, we both agree my legs are more toned, (especially my thighs from the cardio), my stomach looks more defined and generally slimmer. I know its hard, believe me- my motivation sucks until i see results- but now i have i urge you all to keep on at it, as Jillian says, you cant do a twenty minute work out then expect to take a break, the time flies by when doing it, as its short intervals you cant get bored either, give it 5-10 days depending on you weight and fitness level etc and i am sure you will see a difference!

Gracebranna - hi - after 4 days of doing the dvd, I noticed a good improvement in my stomach, much more defined (no six pack, but less wobbles....). I had to stop for a long weekend, but did lots of walking and yesterday started the dvd again.

Well done jumatwins for not giving up. How is everyone else getting on? I started last wednesday and did the 30DS for 7 days in a row, didn't do it yesterday for various reasons including getting my monthly visitor!! but will get back into it this evening. Feeling a slight difference in my tummy area but no move in the scale!! going to keep at it and hopefully get the results I want. Still finding the push ups really difficult, is it just me??

Gosh I can't even do one like Natelie!! I am struggling to do 5/6 like Anita, finding the rest of the workout ok, my push ups are improving, just about to start my 30DS now!! looking forward to it too, lets keep this group going, can't wait to see the results!! what size weights are you using??

Quote: I am using 5 pounds, but for the exercise where we lift our arms up to eye level (in front) while bending our knees side-to-side, I have to change at some point and use the 3 pounds...this exercice kills my arms!!

Yeah, these hurt! I'm on day 9 level 1, and looking forward to getting on with the program. I started this for my legs (hate my thighs) and they feel different even with only 9 days completed. Cheers ladies!

Yesterday was my day one. Can't wait to start seeing some results. Was a little scared about the cardio, but it wasnt so bad once i got into it. Good luck everyone.
