    Yeah Misty, I wanted to ask you guys about that.... my left foot feels like there is a bit of bone pain when I am working out! I have new-ish Nike runners, so I don't think that is the issue.

    It must be a lot for our joints with all the jumping day after day!

    What do you think?
    :ohwell:

    I've been taking it much easier with level 2 because of all the jumping, I've been doing a lot of the exercises modified (following anita if they are high impact) my ankles just can't take it, maybe as I get stronger......
    does anyone know if level 3 has as much jumping around? I haven't watched it yet

    I haven't watched level 3 yet so I'm not sure how much jumping there is.

    I'm finding the arm exercises worse than the jumping.
    I think my weights are a tad too heavy for me so I have to follow Anita for some of them.
    I started in January doing work out dvds so I must have slowly built up some stamina for the jumping.

    Hey Ladies! I'm hanging in - but I am still at Level 1! I have been doing it as part of my workout routine, usually with additional running, so I have not gotten around to learning a new one. Today is the day!

    Good luck to everyone!

    I started it yesterday. I did it yesterday and today. I have been going to the gym nearly every day since Feb. and this workout whopped my butt. My legs were so sore today. I have trouble with jumping things but am getting better. I plan to continue as long as possilble.

    Congrats for starting! Remember you can always substitute the stationary punches for anything with jumping - it drives the heart up just as well, if not better than the jumping jacks!

    Believe it or not, in a week or two of doing it everyday it almost gets easy! I could barely finish some of the upper body stuff when I first started, and now it is almost easy!

    Let us know how you progress!

    Hi, I hope everyone is having a good weekend. :flowerforyou:

    I took 3 days off from the shred :noway: My back was KILLING me it was so sore. :sad: I think it was a combination of things: my weights were too heavy & I think my back was taking some of the stress, it was my TOM and lots of stress at home. :grumble:

    Anyways...I lightened my weights to 1.5 L water bottles. I just weighed them and they are 3.5 lbs.

    So Day 9 of level 2 is done. :smile:
    I'm very proud that some of my habits are slowing changing. I know the old me would have just given up doing the shred altogether because I was so discouraged and not tried to find a way to make it work. I have to thank mu hubby too for encouraging me to work out...sometimes it nice having a little positive encouragement for someone else. :bigsmile:

    Congrats WantToBe!!!! That is amazing - and love that your hubby is supportive.

    My hubby has been awesome too - and reading your mail has prompted me to thank him! He spends a lot of time alone with the kids while I am off running, working out, or off at the gym. But hey, we all benefit from this journey, right! :happy:

    Have a great week everyone!

    Btw... does the sweat just DRIP off you!? I literally have it running down my nose! Sorry, is that a TMI.... :blushing:

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I don't think I ever sweated so much!!!!

    I'm off to visit my family on Wednesday. Besides one of my sisters I haven't seem them in a year. :noway:

    Needless to say things have been crazy: packing, tidying up, making arrangements...the list goes on & on. So I won't be able to go on to level 3 of the shred. :grumble: My mom doesn't have a computer but I'll see if I can check in to see how you guys are doing. Good Luck !!! :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    Oh & I just have to rant....The most horrible thing is that I went for a lovely boat ride with my hubby yesterday. The weather was overcast & I didn't wear any sunscreen. What a mistake. :noway: My face & neck are as red as a lobster & it is so sore :sad: :sad: :sad: I've been coating myself with aftersun and drinking a ton of water to see if I can hydrate my skin, if only a little. :blushing::blushing::blushing: That's me red red red. :laugh:

    back on the wagon. My ankles are soooo sore, I think I'm going to alternate between all three levels so that I'm not doing the same exercises everyday, maybe that will be easier on my joints
