    Hey all!

    With regard to everyone experiencing sore joints, I was told this by a friend who is studying to be an Eastern Medicine dr. Try Vitamin D and Magnesium. These nutrients are VITAL in helping our musles relax, avoid spasming and not pull, strain, tear, etc. Vitamin D deficiency also causes chronic muscle soreness.

    The past few weeks, I feel like I cant move. Everything hurts! So I will be taking my butt to the health food store to get in my supplements!

    You are all doing great wth the Shred! I see we have a new member-WELCOME!

    Have a great night all.

    Happy shredding!

    Didn't wake up early enough this morning to shred and as much as I didn't want to do anything when I got home, I made myself do it! I'm still using 3 lb weights for circuit 1 & 3, but use the 5 lb weights for circuit 2. I'm really not liking the jump rope part of course and the plank pushups aren't too bad I can actually walk out & back with my legs straight now, but can't manage to do the pushup part haha.

    Anyone know what I can do for my knee? I have no idea when I hurt it but now during workouts it starts to hurt more. For the second section of the jump rope I was basically jumping on one leg cause the other knee hurt too bad! It's really bugging me because it's not too sore when I walk or anything else, just during workouts.

    Maybe modify the jump rope part...instead of jump roping maybe until your knee feels better you can do the punching from Level 1..you will still be moving !
    You are doing awesome1

    L2D2 (or 12) CHECK! I am really looking forward to improving at this level like we did with L1...I feel like such a lame-o when I have to take breaks now lol!! And I never thought I would consider the "regular" jump rope to be easy!

    I swear I saw a little bicep trying to come out today.

    As someone with chronic knee problems, I have some advice: first, get a nice biiig bottle of glucosamine and start taking it daily. It will take awhile to build up (4-5 weeks) but it has helped me so much I can't even describe. Second, ice after the workout. Knee-shaped ice packs are spendy so just use a bag of frozen peas or corn. Ice for 10-20 minutes and that should help.

    Also, as has been mentioned, think about new shoes. There are some really high-impact moves so make sure you have cushy, supportive shoes.

    You should change your goal to about 1lb a week, maybe 1.5 depending on your weight. You can do this by the GUIDED option.

    You can also use the custom, but please be sure to know where you should be before you go into this option. I use the custom option and its working for me but I do TONS of research!!!

    Either way, great idea to up your intake!

    Excellent...doesn't certain spots get annoying..I am starting to feel that way about level 2...I only have 2 more days...I am sure there will be something in level 3 that will annoy me just as much! Oh well, as long as I continue to see the inches come off, I will let her annoy me!

    Yeah...I'm really looking forward to a change in pace. I think that's what I love about this dvd is that it changes. :) Keep at it! GREAT job with sticking w the program thus far. I think I'll do the entire 30 days again after i'm done but w 5lb weights all the way through. Right now I'm a wimp w 3lbs weights.

    I did the first segment of the Biggest Loser Cardio Max today..it was a bit challenging, but I like it. I will do it again tomorrow along with the shred...until I am finished with the Shred I will probably just add it a 2-3 days a week...

    I have to say, I like listening to Bob more than Jillian at this point.

    L2D4 done! My knee was hurting for some of it so I did modify the jump rope section. But for the first part of Biggest Loser I did 30 minutes on the elliptical. I couldn't go as fast as normal but I got in an okay sweat and it wasn't painful on the knee, even though it did still hurt after the workout. I'm hoping icing it will help because it's really annoying and I feel like it's limiting the effort I can put into my workout.

    I hope everyone had a great day & an awesome workout!

    Karen- I like listening to Bob more than Jillian too! But I always liked him better on the show anyway so I figured I would like him better on the workouts. I do like the biggest loser workouts though he is a great trainer and I don't find him to be annoying even when hearing the same thing every day
