    Hi all

    I'm on L1 day 5, still loving it, I tried to do the same number of pushups on my toe for each round, but I just couldn't, I seriously think I would have collapsed, so I'll have to work on that, 10 first round then 6 second round today ...

    Happy shredding everyone!

    Just done Day 7 after a 15min jog, need to do Day 8 later on. Did full push-ups for the first time, managed 6 and 3! Pretty happy. It's starting to feel easier, in a sweat-pouring-off-me kinda way. Excited for Level 2!

    Hi Ladies,

    Just did day 8 of the shred and still loving it, can defo feel a difference! I see a few of you have issues with pushups on the toes, I did a bootcamp course and the instructor told me women shouldn't to the full push up as it puts a lot of pressure on your womb, we were only allowed do the ones on the knees aeven if you did have the fitness for the harder one.

    Level 2 starting on Firday :)

    Did a jog this morning before shred Day 8. Did all the squats with raises in the first circuit that I normally struggle with.

    My calves are really really starting to hurt now. Especially on the right leg where I broke my ankle a few years ago. Am a bit worried I might have to stop at some point. :-( Going to the physio tomorrow about something else so will see what they say!

    Just been to the physio who says I have to drop anything with high impact on my ankle, which is basically MOST of the cardio in shred. :(:( I'm gonna go through and see what I can still do later. I mean I can still do the cardio boxing.. can anyone thing of any low impact cardio i can sub in for the jumping jack/jump rope as they're the worst culprits. Really don't wanna give in on this challenge. I might burn less cals but I just don't wanna stop totally...

    Beside the boxing, you can try the windmills that are done during the warmup. Also try speed boxing (pretend to be hitting a speed bag at head level)

    HTH!

    HTH!

    Thank you, I will try them. Also I think that once the pain has calmed down I might try to reintroduce the butt kicks, treading softly, as I don't think they're as high-impact as jumping jacks and jump rope, what do you think?

    You could also just do squats? Or even squat as low as you can and hold for the 30 seconds, that's hard!

    I've just done level1 day 7, feeling good, feeling much stronger on the strength section, push ups not really improving, but ... I'm going to keep at it! Pleased with myself today, as this is usually my rest day .... just as well really as I've had a humongous lunch! Like 1000calories, but all good healthy stuff ... might try level 2 later tonight just so I can eat my dinner! LOL!
