Hi: I started the 30ds today and had to modified it because I have had problems with my knees hurting last spring. I did marching in place instead of the jumping jacks, lunges, etc. I plan on doing it MWF and was wondering if I would still get good results doing it this way.
I want to know if anyone had to chance it up and what did you do and did you get results just the same?
thanks

BUMP!
i'm starting it tonight and have dodgy knees also!0 -
I have to get back to it too. I can do the jumping jacks but the jumping in place was impossible. I would march with high knees instead. I also had to do it on a M-W-Sat schedule due to work and to give my body a break. I figure if I keep at it even modified will help me out.0

Do you know what's wrong with your knees?
I've done level 1 a few times with some friends. I have one bad knee and one horrendous knee. I didn't do anything that involved jumping. That's just asking for trouble.
I agree that jumping jacks are a bad idea for bad knees, but why are you avoiding lunges? I've done them in physical therapy. As long as your form is good, they're usually ok.0 -
I advoid the lunges because they are side lunges and I'm afraid I will twist my knee. Plus they are hard for me. I do try to do some of the squats, I just don't go down to far.
No I don't know why my knee was hurting from time to time. I think some of it as to do with being overweight and not wearing good sneakers. I worked in a factory for over 30 yrs. standing all day long on cement floors so that probably didn't help either.
What I did last Feb. was go to Fleet Feet and got fitted for good sneakers. They seem to help alot because my knee hasn't really hurt to much since I started wearing them. So for now I want to try slowly working in some of the knee exercises. I also have alot of weight to lose. I weigh 200 lbs at 5'1.5. which doesn't help.0
