LEVEL 1 DAY 2 = 173 CALORIES BURNED

THIS IS MY 3RD TIME AT DOING A JM30DS CHALLENGE AND I HOPE NO ONE MINDS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER UP SOME TIPS I HAVE LEARNT ALONG THE WAY. FIRSTLY I AM 51yo AND NOT AT ALL WOULD I CONSIDER MYSELF FIT, I CURRENTLY WEIGH 94KG (207LBS). SO GET THE PICTURE I AM OLDER THAN MOST OF YOU, FATTER AND LAZIER SO MAYBE SOME OF THIS ADVICE WONT APPLY TO YOU. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY I AM NO EXPERT SO THIS IS JUST ADVICE FROM MY OBSERVATIONS AND EXPERIENCE.

1. Do not be discouraged its harder than you think.
2. If need to modify, modify, modify, otherwise you may give up.
3. Do it at half pace if you need too.
4. Jog on spot for jump rope if you have bad knees.
4. Use light weights to begin with, and even none for side lunges or only every 2nd day.
5. Have a towel folded ready to go under your knees for push ups.
6. Bicycle crunches, I had to slowly build up did 5 then regular crunches.
7. If needed take a rest day.
8. Take measurements as well as weight at start.

Hope this helps someone. I have too often seen so many get discouraged. If you need to take more than one rest day do so, listen to your body. You will still get benefit from how any little you do. Congrat yourself for every little step.

I can't say I recorded large weight loss or measurements during my past 2 go's at this, but there was some, Biggest Bonus of all I felt STRONGER.

WISH YOU ALL THE BEST, AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SHARING OUR EXPERIENCES ALONG THE WAY.

Next week im going to do 30DS one day then P90X Lean program the next and alternate. If I do cardio as well as the shred should I still lose lbs each week? Iv heard not many people lose lbs just inches on the shred and dont want to halt my loses
