Teeny Weeny NSV but for me it's huge.

I have seriously dodgy knees, if I try and do anything with impact I get shooting pains through one of them. They crunch constantly and one of them randomly dislocates as and when it pleases and has to be smacked back into place. As a result I've never been able to do more than a fairly fast walk.


Today I jogged! For the first time ever I managed 4 x 45 second bursts of jogging between my speed walking and my knees didn't give way, didn't make me scream in pain and feel ok now. This is huge for me.

    Congrats! Doesn't sound teeny weeny to me. I have arthritis and back problems stemming from a near fatal car accident when I was a teenager so I can't do things like 30DS and Insanity, which are much discussed here. I stick to my low impact workouts and do light weight work to tone up. The weight loss is slower but I'll get where I'm going eventually. You keep going, girl! And enjoy your wedding next year. You are truly blessed to have found a life partner.
