Is anyone else doing this? or has anybody done it?

I'm on day 2 of level 1, and determined to stick to it and do it every single day. So envious of the girls in the video and how hard and toned their stomachs are! Hoping with hard work and perseverance that my tummy should tone and harden up to some extent! Don't want a podge anymore..

- start weight 12.2 - goal weight 10.0
 
I have it, don't think I made it past the first couple of days lol!

I'm doing kettleworx, it's a six wk prog three times a week

15 lost : 52 to goal
 
I have it and will start it after 1/2 term. I also have 3 Kettleworx DVDs but broke my left wrist ice skating on April 13th. The cast is off but I am supposed to be wearing a support. The kettle bell I have is too heavy ATM for that arm. I think I'll wait awhile before doing KW.

Mel, I'm in awe of you! Broken bones dont stop you for long!

@Lauren may. Im doing 30DS in my programme. My plan is 30 mins of circuit resistance training 5 days a week and 30DS 3 times a week and cross trainer 3 times a week

How are you finding it? I've tried to do it many times and it kills me! I've started off this time without the hand weights. You still get a good workout, but I think it's going to help the fatigue I usually get at day 3 were I can hardly move.
 
It bloody kills me too! I did day 2 yesterday, my original plan was to do 30 days consecutively but after completing day 1 last Wednesday, I had such a busy few days that I only managed to get around to day 2 yesterday!

I've woken up this morning and my legs and bum cheeks are aching so bad!! Lol. I might just stick to 30DS on my UD's rather than tire myself out on DD's. I've been using 2kg weights as advised and my god their bloody heavy when you're incorporating them into lunges and squats etc!

Yeah that's why I would advise doing it with your own resistance to begin with, because ifs a hard pain wall to break through and you may just give up, or worse injure yourself. It would make it the 37 day shred though as you would do week 1 twice. I think it would be worth it though!
 
I'm alright with the weights, and yesterday it felt a little easier using them than it did the first time around! Think I'm gonna give it a miss for today though, let my body recover and the muscles stop aching & crack on with some housework!

Hah! That's what I mean, because with 30ds you are supposed to do it every day for maximum results. You hurt so much that its impossible! That's why I'm going easy to begin with just concentrating on doing something every day.

I'm going for inch loss now as opposed to weight, so it's all about the consistency for me. I've just done 20 minutes of pilates stretches and now I'm banging in the shred. No weights though, just water!

Oh bum! I didn't know it was meant to be followed every day, lol! I think I'll have to force 20 minutes in later then, no point going through all that ache and pain yesterday if I'm not following it up today!

Damn that Jillian! Lol

I managed 8 days consecutively and I did see a massive improvement in endurance and inches/weight loss. Unfortunately all that jumping around hurt my knees so I had a break. I'm now doing 6 week 6 pack which is mostly core and abdominals and far less bouncing around. Watched it on Friday and did day one yesterday. Apart from being a little stiff I don't ache anywhere near as much. (my hubby on the other hand - who is actually quite fit couldn't get past the first few exercises!!!!!)
I will do 30ds again but maybe modify the jumping moves with other ideas from her programmes.

I've got a dodgy knee after a ACL injury years ago. I have to do pilates an stretching to keep my knee stable and I wear a neoprene brace so it doesn't get hammered.

I think everyone I know who has done 30DS has had some form of injury from it. It is hardcore but in 20 minutes what can we expect!

I'm thinking of getting Tracey Anderson as well and working out a plan of 30 mins of circuit with a home fitness DVD 3 days a week, just to vary the routine and 3 days of aerobic activity to blast the fat.

I find it a bit harsh on the knees too, especially the jumping jacks and jump rope bit, oh and that kicking your butt thing! I might try and squeeze 20 minutes in later, I do want to do 30 days consecutively but even fitting 20 minutes in is hard going some days!

I got half way through 30ds and by that point had improved so much I could do all three in a row!!! Of course, then I let it slide...

I'm doing her ripped in 30 now, which I also love, v sim to shred, but I think builds up better and do far, touch wood, no jumping jacks!!!

I'm not doing it every day, more like 3 times a week, but it's still working :)

Ooooooh! That sounds good! What kind of things are in it?
 
Jumping jacks, skipping, boxing, more jumping jacks, butt kicks, press ups, a few more jumping jacks, crunches (in a whole plethora of positions!), did I mention jumping jacks? Squats, side lunges.

6week 6pack has no jumping jacks, Or butt kicks. But it does have the dreaded plank (again in a variety of modes) and I have no idea how anyone's wrist is supposed to support their weight for that long! (after all - we are overweight and using the exercise to lose some; not a stick insect used to balancing on a manicured fingernail!). And how the hell do you do a sideways plank without falling over? (I have to make sure the settee is behind me and my ample rear so it cushions my fall and deadens the thud!)

Is that in ripped? I like the cardio bursts of 30DS. It's the side lunge shoulder raises that get me. Ouch!

I'm sick. I do love a nice plank!
