    Staying in motion is what is important. As long as you are pushing yourself, you will see improvements. Make sure you pay attention to the modified options. I have had to modify some of the cardio because of a knee injury in college. I can't jump really high in the jump rope parts because right now the impact is too much.

    But don't be discouraged. For every pound you lose, your knees will feel better and better. I know that I can't jump as high right now because my knees are building strength while I lose weight to help with the pressure. But in a few weeks, my knees will be ready for more impact.

    I will post the link to this article below...
    "Researchers at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina found that for overweight or obese adults with osteoarthritis of the knee, losing a single pound could result in a 4 lb reduction in pressure placed on the knee joint."

    So keep pushing yourself to do the best that you can right now and before you know it your knees will be feeling better and you will be able to push more. And as far as the rest days, listen to your body. My thighs were so tight that I was hobbling as I walked yesterday after 2 days of Shred. So I took yesterday off and my legs feel SO much better today. So on to day 3 today. BUT if you think one rest day will lead to 2..3...4, don't chance it right now. Better to suffer through it than to risk falling off the wagon.

    If you're cramping try adding more potassium to your diet, just need a small boost. Try one banana a day for a week and see if they get any better or go away completely. Sounds stupid, but try it.

    I do eat bananas but dont mind eat more, it has got a bit better but had to change to lighter weights for some it

    I've been doing it for 6 days straight, today is my 7th. I got really achey the first few days but I pushed through. So far I've lost 4.5 pounds and two inches around my waist. No too shabby for a week, eh?

    I am starting it today. Fortunatly in lvl one there isnt much that you have to do on your hands. I had surgery a year ago next month and occasionally still have issues with that hand.

    I got up and did L1 Day 2 today after having started this yesterday. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I am just now starting to feel some tenderness in my abs and shoulders, but aside from that? No real issues. I was nervous because I have bad knees and screwed them both up taking two falls last winter, but they haven't so much made a peep.

    How am I feeling? OMG, confident (like I can actually DO this stuff), a lot more energetic, and a lot more hungry. (Will work out for food, ha ha)...

    I'm on day 4. I've got two sets of weights -- 2 pounds, and 5 pounds. My hubby does the exercises with me with the 5 pounders. Has anyone tried it with 2 pounders and had good results? Or should I kick his *kitten* to the curb and steal his weights? :tongue:

    I started last night! Wow, I am out of shape. Jumping Jacks for 30 seconds! Good to see others out there going through the same thing. I am not giving up!

    I started it last night, too! Kicked my butt, but felt awesome. Way better than any workout I try to do on my own, for sure! Can't wait to see what happens over the next 30 days :)

    I don't know that the bands will work. Try holding a full water bottle in each hand. That will give you some resistance. :)

    LOL I'm using 4 lb weights, and I swear I was dying on the side lunges things and would have loved to use 2 lb'ers! I think any weight used will work just fine.
