I just began Shred It Level 2 this morning and my shin splints started acting up again with all the jumping around for the cardio portion. Does anyone have alternative cardio exercises that don't involve jumping/running?

    oh no, does level 2 have a lot of jumping?! I'm on day 9 of level 1 and my shin splints are acting up. I think its from the jumping jacks and butt kicks...

    The punches/ fist jabs from level 1 get my heart rate right up!

    I think my shin splints started acting up from all the jumping in Level 1, I just started Level 2 today and couldn't do some of the cardio because it hurt too much. There were one or two cardio exercises if I remember correctly that didn't involve jumping so I was able to do those. I sort of just danced with my upper body for most of the cardio portion hahaha.

    Punching, mountain climbers, skaters (just step side to side instead of jump), modified low-impact jumping jacks, etc..

    The simplest would just be punching, imo, but do whatever you like.

    Just choose othe cardio routines from the previous level that didn't bother you and replace them with the ones that do. Jump ahead to level 3 and see what other options she has and incorporate those as well.

    Great idea, I didn't even think of that!
