    My chiro told me no because the jumping irritates my back. I was on Day 8 when I quit. I ended up getting bored with it anyway. Good luck to all of you!
  • I am starting back today as well. Hopefully I can find some motivation.

    I started 30 day shred just before christmas and did day 4 of level 1
    but then christmas approached and i didn't do any of it. Just started it again today and just finished day 1 of level 1.
    Taking a break from it and going back is a bad idea !!!
    Hope to see progress from everything and keep each other motivated :)

    I was on day 6 and it was a very great workout, just word of advice for people that are overweight and never did much high impact workouts, im 218 pounds 6 ft tall and by day 6 i had some major knee issues doctor says its more than likely from the jumping jacks and lunches (alot of weight on joints) so pace yourself please and you will get results even if you take each Level longer than 10 days. Good luck and most of all have fun doing it

    Good word of caution, I didn't even think about knees. My issues are in my back, and I had to stop from all the jumping.

    I am starting tonight too, i've done it before with great results, hope to have them again!!
  • I'm going onto day 6 tonight. After the first 3 days & helping a friend move, I had to take a day off. My upper body has never been so damn sore! But I got right back to it because It's an amazing work out. Although, I'm a little scared about what levels 2 & 3 will bring because level 1 is still kicking my butt.

    Good word of caution, I didn't even think about knees. My issues are in my back, and I had to stop from all the jumping.

    I was 260 or 250 when I started a Gillian cardio DVD and I had problems with all of the impact too. I found other activities to do during the activities on the video that were causing me pain-

    Example: when she was doing mountain climbers or any of the jumping activities, I left the room, ran downstairs and back up- usually she had moved on to the next, less intensive activity right about the same time I was getting back. I would also do punches and other non-impact cardio if I felt strained. Give em a try, hopefully you can find what works best for you-

    Remember- the important thing is not what you're doing, it's THAT you're doing it! If you try to push yourself too hard, too fast, you will fail, whether because of injury sidelining you, or self-doubt and thoughts of "I can't do this." Get creative! Get moving!
  • Days 4, 5 and sometimes 6 are definitely the hardest. Your body is trying to recover from the strain that you've put on it in the previous days, while still trying to keep up with the pressure that you're putting on it by continuing with your workouts. Do what feels good-exercise is not about pain, it's about making you feel good, so if it hurts, don't do it-slow things down a bit and work at your own pace. What you DON'T want to do is take a day off all together-it makes it even harder to get back into it, and the chance of injury increases.
    Good luck and keep pushing-you'll get through it ;)

    I started yesterday with one of my Pals. I'm going to keep a record of what I'm thinking about it on my blog. I took pictures and measurements so we'll see what happens. I weigh in every day, but that's because I like to see my water holding trends.

    I had told myself that I was going to start the 30 Day Shred today. But I'm on Week 5 of #c25k and it's one of the most demanding weeks so I was worried I would bite off more than I could chew... But I need motivation,and definitely the support.

    I'll do the first day right now while I wait for my laundry to finish. Friend me!!!
  • I did day one yesterday with my daughter. On to day 2 tonight
