Listen to your body :) I have problems with my knees as well - so I completely understand. I take Osteo Bi Flex daily to help - and it's made a huge difference. Another option is you could still do 30DS - but replace all cardio with the punching to relieve stress off your knees that the jumping jacks & jump roping places…

I had to hit pause on 30DS for a couple days. I've had a brutal head cold since Tuesday. I plan on working out through weekends to catch back up. May or may not try to knock it out tonight - but honestly I'm leaning towards not. I was up through day 6. On a side personal note - I've been dating someone for 3 1/2 months now…

I posted something about this on my profile - but I only lost 1.4 this past week. However, according to my body fat % - I've lost 3 pounds of fat (which is what you want to lose anyway, right?). And I've lost mad inches this week... so I must be holding onto water and building muscle. I use an omron hand held to get my…

I won't start level 2 til next week - but I think y'all have officially made me scared! :)
-
Are you certain you're measurement the same exact area of your arm? Could also be that you're building up the muscle there - which is a good kind of increase. The more muscle you have - the faster your metabolism :) Also - heard it was common to not lose any/much weight the first couple weeks you do this - then after that…

VERY good to know and glad you shared - I have been seriously debating taking a day off cause I just feel like my body needs it. Might just do 5 on and 1 off and finish in 35 days instead of 30 :)
-
Absolutely agree with the above! What TRULY matters is you're dedicated to making positive changes! While sticking to a routine is nice - sometimes life just plain gets in the way - and it always will. This is a great opportunity to remind yourself how to jump back in the game! Now you just gotta buckle up and literally…
-
Yep - completely know what you mean!!! I've reached a confidence level with the level 1 exercises. Worried what level 2 will do to me :-) Also really thought about skipping tomorrow (today was day 5 for me)... actually still thinking about it. I have exercised every day since Sunday in some way, shape or form and I…

This kind of feels like when you're trying to decide whether or not to find out what the sex of your baby is when you're pregnant... do I check my weight & measurements during the middle of it, or wait for one big surprise at the end :) I'm going to do my measurements weekly - weight and inches - since I want to keep a…

Doing pretty good here - finished day 3 this morning and it was much easier. I love that the video is broken down into 3 segments, and those 3 segments are broken down into 3 segments (weights, cardio, abs). Today i was able to stick with the bicycle crunches the whole time - something i couldn't do the first two days. I'm…

Hats off to those of you using 10 pound weights. I've been doing the 3 pound weights and still getting a great workout. Thinking about increasing to 5 pounds on the second half of the ten days at level one. The idea of using 10 pounds one day seems a million light years away - and really helps me respect those of you who…
-
I am NOT a fan of the jump ropes - at all. I will say today (my day 2) was easier than yesterday, and i actually FELT stronger when I was doing the push ups. I am EXTREMELY sore, especially in my quads. After doing 30DS this morning I did a bike ride, and that didn't help with my soreness. I thought I was going to have to…
-
Ditto on what everyone else said :) The general idea is this group is for people who are just starting (or starting back) with 30 DS. As long as you start sometime around this week you should be in line with most of the rest of us - but it's completely a personal thing and up to you how you do it. I had intended to do the…
-
I'm honestly not a fan of scale goals - which probably goes against the grain of everyone on here. I know where I want to be - but honestly it seems so far off if I dwell on it I'll be tempted to give up. Even setting 5 pound goals I feel like sets me up to be discouraged if I don't go down as fast as I want. So my "GOAL"…
-
Sounds like you still got a workout in! There are a few people who have already started, and a few who will start later this week... so no big deal... the important thing is when you start you stick with it til the end! And if you don't - you live close enough for me to harass you!! :)
-
sometimes people (myself included) make the mistake of stretching their legs but not their FEET (cause who REALLY thinks to stretch their feet).... there are some cool videos on youtube that will show you how. Also make sure you stay plenty hydrated. Never stretch without warming up. Make sure your diet contains plenty of…

Very glad you found us too!! I went to the bahamas a year ago - it was amazing!
-
OMG - I know what you mean... I really struggled with those! For those I think I would seriously have to do the 3 pounders for now.

I've had knee problems for a while. Have had it completely buckle under me. My problem was a misaligned kneecap. As an overweight runner - here's what I've done to make sure my knee pains disappear (which they have): Osteo bi flex daily (this made the biggest difference) Build up leg muscles - including secondary ones - so…

HA! Clearly I'm not fluent in MFP yet... had thought it would be nice if I could create a group but had no idea it was possible! Woops! Might need some help from those more technologically savvy :) Here's the link to the group - VERY excited to get started tomorrow!!!…
-
Awesome - so excited to have some people join me! I've added each of you as friends :) I plan on starting tomorrow morning, and will be doing weekly measurements and pictures :)
-
I think I read on here that you can also find it for free on youtube? Either way - you can still join in once you get your copy! :)
-
Let's do it then! I have the video - and have had it for over a year - but have never done anything more than look at it :( I don't know if the fitbit would track it or not - I would think so?? I should be getting mine on Monday - very excited about that!
-
That had to feel so great!!! Way to go for such a huge success in less than a month :)
