I did day 2 of Level 1 last night. I've only got about another 10 lbs or so to lose to meet my goal. I thought this would be a great way to finish out my journey! To try to speed up my progres I'm working out with some cardio in the morning and then doing Jillian in the evenings. I started out with 5lb weights but had to down size those to 3lbs because it was way to hard on my back the next day. 3lbs felt much better last night too!!!

After 3 days off due to work commitments, I got back to L2 and anything plank related, the military presses and the v-raises are still a challenge. Only four days to go on L2 but I don't know if I'll have mastered the above exercises by the end of 10 days. Despite all, it's still the most relaxing 25 minutes I get all days - if you can believe that!

One idea I have for checking out how you like an exercise video is to get them from the library.That way you can see what the workout if like before you invest in it. I have done this and I found that I really like Joel Harper workouts. I also think that whatever we do is better than doing nothing..that I used to do alot of..LOL

Do you need weights for this video? I just noticed I could get it from netflix and thought it might be fun to do it along with everyone else.

I was looking for forums on this subject and I came across this thread -actually joined the site to post! Haha

I got this dvd on Saturday, started on Monday so I've just done day 3 of level one.
My legs and bum are SO SO sore! But I guess this means it's working right? I really didn't want to shred today but my legs actually didn't hurt during and they don't hurt now its just a few hours later the pain starts.

Is anyone else having problem or has had problems with the push ups? I really struggle even with the modified part of them. I had breast surgery last year so I'm not sure if I'm just struggling due to my weaker chest muscles =/

I have been doing 30DS for about 20 days now. I lost 33 lbs using another workout video, but was getting bored with it. One day one, I couldn’t not do a single pushup and was completely out of breath!! I am happy to say that right now I can complete level one without even breaking a sweat. I have been doing levels two and three together everyday. Level two is by far the hardest! I have to push myself to get through them. I have only lost about 5 lbs, but I can do pushups now and can actually see the muscles in my arms! If you hang in there it is defiantly worth it!
