    I have been looking at the insanity videos but have been afraid to try it. I think I can do this one so I'll start here. I don't have any hand weights yet though.

    I've been using big cans of soup--they're about two lbs each. Waiting for my weights to come in the mail. :X

    Oh great idea!!!

    Day 4 done!! Def. feeling sore, BUT I am already able to do all of the reps except for the push ups. I am terrible at push ups, going to have to work on it.

    I started with 15 oz cans of black beans because the only weights I have are 10 lbs (not going there for the 30DS!!). Today I moved up to 19 oz cans of Progresso soup! :) I'm going to buy 3 and 5 lb weights next time I'm at Target.

    Ok so i missed day 4 today but am about to do day 5. will probably pay for it lol! I did plan to miss a day in every 10 day lot though as i usually go away for the weekends. Had a bad tummy bug yesterday, only just got over it today. Was supposed to be with my personal trainer yesterday so had to cancel that, am a bit disapointed as was planning to do cardio at the same time as this, but guess il have to wait untill day 8 till i can go back to gym. hopfully i still get results!

    Honestly by Day 5 your muscles will be used to the burn and you wont feel a thing apart from a nice buzz and sting. Not the ache of Day 3 and Day 4. The first time I did 30DS I could barely walk on the 4th day but then miraculously just disappeared!

    just completed D3L1, due to work commitments I'm having to do the the dvd every other day at the mo, combined with 40 mins of swimming and the odd cross trainer 20 mins session where/when i can.

    I have never been very good at push ups or lunges... other than that I'm coping rather well.. I THINK

    I missed day 4, but I'm going to do an extra one today to make up. So far, so good.

    Today is day 5 for me. No aches or pains and 2 inches off the stomach and 1 off the thigh. No change on hips or arms but it's only day 5. No weight loss either but my body is changing so it's ok if the weight loss is slow.

    I started yesterday a little late i know but better late than never. I did it straight after a 40 minute run, mad I know. I go on holiday on the 28th July so can,t do the whole 30 days but hopefully enough to drop some inches. Just about to run again and then day 2.

    I was waiting to measure but had people commenting on my stomach getting smaller, then jeans fitting better, I couldn't control myself. It is better to wait till the end and get the nice full results =)

    I want to join! I might be a little late because I'm only on Day 2 now. Anyway, I love it. I'm only on level one, but it's kicking my butt. I'm excited about getting stronger. And wow. Results after 5 days? That's amazing!!! :D

    Those are some great results! Is 30DS all you're doing? or are you incorporating anything else?

    I am definitely a few days later than I wanted to be, but I just completed L1D1 & I feel great! (of course that will change tomorrow!) I am excited to stick with it & see how it works for me since it is only 20 minutes out of my day :)

    How does everyone log their exercise with this?

    You're right! Even though I shredded twice yesterday, the soreness is gone (for the most part). My abs have zero soreness today and my arms and legs only feel it when I stretch. It's fascinating!

    Doing day 5 this evening!

    I'm doing the 30 DS and incorporating some cardio in to there. Walking, cycling or dancing every day.

    Think most people use circuit training. Circuit training. Works pretty well.

    Day 5 down - it hurt today. And I must have been doing something right, because I was sweating bullets. Half way to Level 2, hooray!

    Okay I did day 1 level 1 sort of and thank you Jillian I guess for knocking my pride out of me lol. I was so proud of myself for being able to do 50 minutes of Zumba all at once every day this week so far. In March I was only able to do anything in 5 minute blocks so I'm still thrilled just not as proud. I wasn't able to get through day one of this all at once at all. I hate the get on the floor now back up now get on the floor. I'm a old fat woman standing to floor and back is a work out all on it's own. Oh and push ups up and right to aerobics? Push ups or what I am able to do of them have me out of breath.
    I didn't quit but I sure took longer than the 5 seconds she says you can take to catch your breath. The only thing that felt well timed for me was the punches towards the end because oh yes I wanted to punch her right then lol
    Did anyone else have trouble getting through it? I'm sure it's get better as I get in better shape. I'm just wondering if I should stick to the Zumba for now or continue with my plan to do both.

    :D So glad I took a day off yesterday. I probably would have seriously injured myself. Today was great though, no pain so I was able to give it my all! L1D4 completed!

    Anybody else having trouble with the bicycle crunches? I gave up after day one. I don't think I'm coordinated enough for them, so I do 15 more regular crunches and 15 lower body ones. Might try them again tomorrow.

    So just wondering, what are peoples plans for after the 30ds? As much as I hate her, (just for the pain at the sweating I do) I think I'm going to be sticking with Jillian for a while. She knows what she's talking about and her workouts get great results. So after this I'm considering ripped in 30 days or 6 week 6 pack.

    I was going to do ripped in 30 afterwards! :)
