Support group for 30 day shred

I just finished Day 10 Level 1 about 30 minutes ago. I'll be honest, the jumping jacks followed by jump rope is the absolute worst for me. I have bad knees, both of them have tears and I brace up and do the DVD but OMH that circuit hurts lol. The side lunges and shoulder things hurt pretty good too. My butt kicks are now bouncing back kicks Stupid knees.

Hello! I've had this DVD sitting on my shelf since last summer and haven't gotten to trying it... Now is the time. I'm so glad I found this thread!!

Question: How much space will I need around me?

I have a pretty small living room and it is just fine. I would sit down and watch it before doing it to get an idea of what you will be doing and how much space you will need but you should be fine.

Just finished day 2 of level 1. Definitely harder than yesterday but I did do one workout last night and one this morning so not much time in between.

We can do this!!!

So far I've made a big protein shake (1 scoop chocolate protein, 1 cup FF milk, 1 banana and LOTS of ice) and I drink half before I do this and half after I'm done. I am hoping this will help in some way.

I'm on day 10 of Level One, and the side lunges with shoulder raises STILL get me every time! It's not really the lunges that are the problem, it's those crazy shoulder raises. I must have really weak shoulders!

Great! Thanks for the tip about space... I tried it today and did alright in my bedroom..

Protein shake sounds delicious. I had an apple and some cheese and lots of water for my recovery snack and boy did I need it!!

Did D4L1 and I'm so tired. Waited till it was a little to late to do it, but wanted to get it in.

I think I may try it soon, maybe not tonight, but soon! Good luck though!

I did L1 on Friday and still can't climb stairs or sit comfortably today (sunday)... I'm really not that out of shape, or so I thought! Guess I'm just not used to the cardio (jumping jacks and jumping rope) ...URG!

Well, I just finished day 8 (level one) and I'm happy to say it has gotten much easier! Sometimes I even use weights during the punches so I can feel like I'm actually working!

I have also noticed a HUGE difference in my outlook on life. I no longer feel overwhelmed and helpless. I wake up, exercise (first thing, so I don't make excuses) and I'm ready to go for the day. I often look around, wondering what I can do with all this new energy. Yes, it's still tough. Yes, I often want to just quit, but I keep pushing through and I'm happy to say.... I'm happy! :-)

This is a big change from the girl who put the dvd in the player, started, got overheated, turned the dvd off, and shelved it for over a month! :-) If I can do it, anyone can!

I've had to take almost a week off from 30DS due to a twisted ankle.
