    Sweat loads on my last day of Level 1. Starting level 2 tomorrow! @220Dani I know what you mean about the 3lb weights feeling 10; I definitely felt that today.

    A bit of trouble with my knees today but should be ok.

    I have to stop for a while because of my ankle. I really must've done more to it than I thought. Hurts to even walk now and is slightly swollen. This always happens when I start exercising - I have absolutely no grace when it comes to stuff like this. lol I'm hoping after a rested weekend I can pick up Monday.

    220Dani - I had issues with my ankle when I exercised you can go and see chiropractor and they can do an adjustment it might help.

    This is me. I do cardio on separate days from strength training for this very reason. I need to focus when I do lunges and squats so I have good form throughout. No cardio/strength mix for me.

    I had to take a few days off because I hurt my knee on the door frame. I also alternate ripped and do something else on alternate days.

    Back on Ripped, did day 6 of Level 2. I also did a new workout dvd I got today called, "Perfect Core" by Meghan White. It was nice for a change.

    Day 2 of Level 2 completed! Today has definitely been the hardest for me in this program. Had to stop multiple times cause my heart was racing, and my knees began to hurt. Had to stop doing the lunges with the jumps because the sound my ankle was making is not something I want to hear again.

    I've been having pain in my knees when I work out and the day after. IDK what to do. any advice?

    You don’t want to hurt yourself in a major way!! Stop the jumping lunges and just do the grounded ones, if those don’t hurt! You are still moving and you can do some of the other advanced moves if you feel it is needed.

    You may need to have a look at your form? or speak to a doctor? Jillian has some programmes that are less impactful I believe, maybe start slower and work up to the Shred. Or take a few days off and go back to level one for a little bit longer.

    I agree...take it slower....make sure your knees aren't going past your toes when bending them. If your heart is racing you might need to tell your doctor, especially, if it continues after you slow down.

    Lol. I haven’t even made it there yet, still
    doing a Shred. Seriously thinking I should brave the cold and get back to the gym, maybe I’m missing the gym vibe!

    I've done all the levels of Ripped now, although I have not completed the days I have blocked off for it. After BFBM, anything seems like a breeze lol! Level 3 and 4 are challenging, but I really like them. I think I'm starting to become a little more coordinated now, and I'm enjoying a more intermediate workout.
