    I think I busted my knee yesterday :( i had to modify jumping jacks to other cardio. I dont think itnwas as effective. I wasnt able to do the sidelunge either. :frown: im resting tomorrow so i can do my 10th day with a bang.

    What does everyone think? Will a knee support Brace help? I really want to pull through. :sad:

    I really hurt my knee the last time I did 30 DS - from what I remember I found level 2 quite hard on my knees. I think you should get a soft knee support, but you could also temporarily replace the high impact cardio sections with things with less or no impact, maybe something like these: http://exercise.about.com/library/bllowimpactcardioblast1.htm

    Also, give yourself (at least) a day off after day 10.

    You don't want to antagonise an injury and take longer to heal! If you have to take a few days off then do. Maybe ease yourself back in with a couple days of level 1 and then back into level 2.

    It's not a cheat so you shouldn't feel guilty, needs must!

    Hope you recover soon lady :)

    This is so helpful laur! Thanks! Im doing cardio tonight low impact. Super thanks!

    I got up and did the Shred at 5AM this morning !!! and that was even before my morning coffee :drinker:

    I am a morning exerciser but not THAT early...LOL. But I needed to get it done because I had a long day ahead of me. Check Day 4 off !!

    level 1 d8 done! some stuff is getting easier, but increasing weights feels more of a burn. i run in place for some of the cardio, since it is softer for my heels. knee is bothering me today.

    Aaand that's the motivation I needed. If you're exercising this way, then what is my excuse as a teenager? And still during summer holiday. None, i suppose. Thanks!

    Lv1D5 done .. and although I'm not a morning person, trying to do a workout right after coming home from work is not easy either; so I think tomorrow I'll go back to doing the shred in the morning.

    I am so surprised that the soreness goes away just by pushing through. Last time I tried 30ds, I stopped every so many days because I was sore, but then when I started again I would just be sore again! Now I'm on Day 5 and feeling great! So I think the trick is to keep going unless you have an injury!

    Level 1, Day 6 ~ DONE !!! I can't believe that I have actually stuck with it this long. Still doing some modified moves but all in all it is coming along great ! I noticed my arms are stronger as the push ups are getting slightly better. :bigsmile:

    I also started to do Planks in place of the abs section...try holding one of those for a minute !! :explode:

    Hi shredders.... I pulled my muscles so i had to stop at day 9.5 i started day 10 but my knee got worse. Had it checked today and I've been advised to stick to biking and other low knee-impact cardio. Even the standing from floor exercise to standing was aggravating my muscle. At least nothing torn or broken. But i do need to lay off for a bit. I'll come back to do this, I promise....
