Logging my daily JM fix and getting advice and motivation has been great over the past two months so here is a thread for all those of you who want to do the same again or for the first time. Come on, summer's nearly here and your butt's got Jillian's name on it Smile

Yes I got all the way through that final abs exercise yesterday for the first time. It's a nasty one though!

wherethewildthingis · 01/05/2014 09:02

I feel slightly less stiff today than yesterday, stairs are definitely easier! Hopefully that means it is working!

I can do slightly more press ups than day 1 but they are still the easy option.

I find the first circuit the most difficult. Trying to do star jumps after push ups!

When I did it last time the end abs section was impossible but they do get easier quite quickly

I want to do proper press ups too stamps foot petulantly.

Ooh fingers crossed we will all get good results. I want to be able to do proper press ups by the end of the thirty days.

I'd never tried JM before but I have just done day 4. DH is away at the moment so I can't really get out to exericse and I really wanted something I could do quickly at home after putting DS to bed while waiting for my supper to be ready. I've never been into exercise videos before - more of a running/swimming person - but I'm enjoying it and keen to keep going. We have just started ttc no. 2 - or rather we will when DH gets back! - and I have to be prepared for a second v. difficult pregnancy so I'm keen to get as fit as possible first.

I've just done day 3 too! My baby is four months though...have been spurred on by digging out summer clothes and finding I've a whole wardrobe I can't wear! Not finding it too bad - I hate the side lunges though. Yuck. I'm not going to do it every day - me and DH do it together so we've decided to have Friday as a rest/treat days and we both like to run so will be running some days instead.

HumphreyCobbler · 30/04/2014 21:34

me too. We have so much in common! I often do a different exercise on the last bit, it is harder than anything on Level 2

wherethewildthingis · 30/04/2014 21:32

Ah my DS is nine months so we are at the same stage! Ihad a c section so I have used that as an excuse to have no abs at all. I find that last one with the legs pretty much impossible!

HumphreyCobbler · 30/04/2014 21:27

Ooh, wherethewildthingis, I just did day three too after doing no exercise while pg and my baby is seven months.

It was a shock to the system.

I did it after both my other babies and it did work miracles leesmum.

leesmum · 30/04/2014 21:23

I am also on day 3 and enjoying it but the very last bit of level 1 is a killer...(the cycle sit up thing...sorry cant remember the proper name!)

Those of you that have done 30DS before did you really see good results?

AmeliaToppingLovesShopping · 30/04/2014 21:18

Can I join please :)

I did the shred 2 years ago and lost weight but put it all, and more, back on again!

I did my day 7 this morning, 4 days last week and 3rd day this week.

wherethewildthingis · 30/04/2014 21:14

I have just done day three. I used to be very fit before I had DS ten months ago.... Now I can barely walk downstairs!! But I am enjoying it and I feel it will give me results so persevere!
