    I just saw another person posted success pics from the shred, and you can definitely see a change even though the pics are a little bit from a distance - here's the post:

    Okay, so I'm doing Day 8 today and to be honest I DON"T WANT TO!!! I've never had issues with my knees, but OMGosh they hurt so bad!! I even tried to do the NORMAL push ups yesterday so that i didn't have to put any pressure on my knees (ended up doing wall push ups cuz well i just dont' have that much upper body strength)

    ...sigh... but i'll do it. :/ I need some motivation big time!

    Oh man my knees and shins are killing me too. But its EVERYTIME I workout. I JUST Got new shoes last night and had them on today. LOVE them!!!
    You know what you can do? If your knees bug you too much maybe instead of jumping jacks and stuff that puts pressure on the knees just do the squat punches holding your weights. Thats a great cardio workout. You don't wan't to injure yourself but don't let it hinder your workout. Just make a few adjustments.
    You can do this, easy peasy... then just 2 more days and on to level 2!

    See that is why I love this group!!! I learn different techniques. I think with the jumping exercises I may just have to substitute the jumping with the squat punches. I am a bit "chesty" and it really hurts to do all the jumping! (Even with a great sports bra) Thanks for the suggestion Stephanie!

    Barb

    no problem Barb :) I had to do that one day bcause my shin splints were SO bad. I used my 3lb weights and wow I was sweating. It's a great workout... and a good back and arm workout.

    Ya'll are awesome!!

    Welcome to the group! It's a lot of work, but it's neat to feel your endurance start to improve with each time you do the workout! Let us know how you're doing with it!

    @Donicagalek - that's really funny! Digging our grave might be less work - can't you just hear Jillian? "Come on ladies, put your back into that shovel...you want a deep grave, you're going to have to work for it!!!!"

    Hope you feel better real soon! It is really hard to work out when you are having trouble breathing! Maybe with some rest you will feel good enough to workout!

    I made it through Day 2 Level 2, but not easily. I think my thighs are the most sore. I feel a lot more uncoordinated in this level, but I'll get it figured out. I had my husband watch me today to check my form on the planks. He said I look great, so at least I am working the right muscles at the right time. He remembers some of the exercises from boot camp when he joined the Navy. That made me feel good, to know she really is tough and not taking it easy on us. It also helps me feel better knowing that the fact that it's hard doesn't mean I'm weak. It is hard, and I'm strong enough to do it.

    Sugar - I hope you feel better soon. I know how disappointing it is to be on a good roll and then get sidelined by illness. Take care of yourself and get back to it as soon as you can. We'll be here cheering you on.

    She cheats in Level 2 also. It does make me feel a little better to know it's even hard for someone who is much fitter than I am. If she has trouble keeping up, then maybe I shouldn't feel so bad about needing a drink of water now and then.

    Do you all get really thirsty during the workout? I do, so I keep a bottle of water on the table next to wear I work out. But, it's hard to get a second to have a drink since she moves so fast!
