Sorry for the disappearing act...I managed to shred 6 out of 7 days last week so I will be doing L1D7 tonight :) The Bad: I weighed myself this morning with trepidation because I've been warned that gaining weight in the beginning of 30DS is common. I gained 1.5 pounds and I was't too happy about it. But, I know my body…

Like others have said...you should notice slight differences in the scale right away and perhaps long before you will notice a significant difference in the mirror. However, if you are consistently exercising those endorphins will help you feel more self confident and you will likely notice small differences in your body…

I researched this myself and apparently it's up to you. Jillian Michaels has said you can go straight through or take a couple of days off to rest sore muscles. Someone in another forum suggested taking a rest day in between each level so Level 1: 10 days in a row, rest day, Level 2 10 days in a row, rest day and then…

Level 1 Day 2 complete! My legs felt stronger but my arms/chest were pretty tight and sore from yesterday. I tried to give more for the cardio section but squatting for those punches is killer when my legs are fatigued! Feeling good and can't wait for Day 3 :)

Waist: 38.5 Hips: 44 Bust: 41.5

I'd like to join! I re-started 30DS last night. Name: Jamie (AHealthyJD) CW: 184 GW: 145 Waist: (will fill in when I get home) Hips: (will fill in when I get home) Bust: (will fill in when I get home) I started 30DS last week and made it through one day...that's right, one day. I think I over did the squats because my legs…

Day 4 Yoga X done - I have to say, I really like this workout! I'm a big fan of Yoga so I think that helped. I agree with others that this is a bit long though. It's really like two separate workouts in one (a power yoga session and a stretch yoga session). There is definitely room for improvement in the first section, I…

Seriously! I feel like I've been engaging my core everyday between Core Syn, Cardio X and Ab Ripper. But at the same time, three days in and I already feel like I'm more in control of my core muscles even if it does hurt to sneeze ;)

Yeah, I'm not a fan of push-ups so I'm glad Chest & Back isn't until Phase 2 of the Lean program :)

Day 3 Arms & Shoulders -DONE. I loved it! I need to up my weights on all of the bicep exercises and some of my shoulder exercises but I really like the routine. Now Ab Ripper X, not so much fun. I was able to the first 6 exercises in their entirety and then I was schooled, heh. Also, I burned 511 calories doing both arms &…

I think you meant the chest & back DVD because there are no push-ups in arms & shoulders DVD (thank god, heh)

So, I did Cardio X last night and I'm relieved...I thought it was going to be much tougher than it was. I was a little scared doing the some of the same moves from Core Synergistics again but I managed to get through them. My core is killing me today though and I'm definitely dreading Ab Ripper X tonight because of this…

Oh ok, I was just confused because I had my schedule written down in my planner at work and I thought I wrote it down wrong :)

I'm confused, I thought Ab Ripper X was supposed to be done after Shoulders & Arms and Legs & Back...did you modify the program?

Better than me! I just did the exercises sans bands, though I wish I had used them now because sometimes I felt silly without them, heh. I spent 99% of the time modified on my knees so don't you worry. In fact, I just asked my husband, who did P90X awhile back how I could still do modified push-ups with some of the faster…

Completed Day 1 P90X Lean - Core Synergistics: Initial thoughts: My core sucks. Concerns: I only have resistance bands and there were several exercises that called for weights and did not show modifications for bands. The one I can remember off the top of my head is the lunge/kickback/curl/press combo. I was thinking I…

1. I have resistance bands with an anchor and we have a pull up bar so I might simply loop the resistance band over the pull up bar if it's easier. 2. I also go by my HRM, I find the default numbers in MFP to be inaccurate for me. I usually create a new exercise for each DVD and then adjust my calories burned each time I…

I'm so glad I found this thread...I'm starting P90X Lean this afternoon! I did Phase 1 of P90 and found it incredibly boring...I lost some weight and inches but I realized I needed to amp it up to P90X. I'm sticking to the Lean version for now because my main goal is to lose about 30 pounds...I might switch to Classic…
