Wow level 3 already! Good for you!

I am starting again. My doctor said it was OK because my knees are doing better, but to modify lunges. If they hurt again I will have to stop.

I did hasfit routines, similar to shred, so I am not starting over, just starting level 2 over. I will probably do another round once I complete level 3.

Yeah the jumping jacks killed me after about 4 days the first time. I have an ultrasound next week so I'm kind of trying to see what I can do and can't. Like was it the jumping jacks that hurt them or the lunges? So this time I am modifying the lunges but doing the jumping jacks. Not sure if that makes sense, lol.

I modify some lunges too because is hard for my right knee also jumping jacks sometimes are so freaking hard and is killing me but in level 3 jumping jacks are with handweights:( which is worse jajaja. But jumping jacks doesnt hurt you?

Jumping jacks sent a killer sharp pain into my knees after the first week. Once I rested my knees they were OK to do jumping jacks. But last night my knees started to get more painful again. I might have to modify the jumping jacks too.

Hi guys, I have been eating healthy for almost 3 weeks and have decided to start working out now since I have gained some control over my eating! I started the 30 day shred today! It was painful and I couldn't do all of the exercises but I didn't quit! I usually end up quitting if something is too hard but I don't want to this time! It was painful but it feels good to know that I didn't quit! Im so happy there is a group to share this journey with!

Congrats! Is amazing when you push yourself to do something that you know you can do! I finish my 30 Day Shred Challenge yesterday and i feel pretty happy i always say this but is true if i can do it you can do it! The first time i did this challenge back in September i though i know i cant do it for a month cuz thats a lot of commitment but even when i was out of the city i take my handweights with me and do all my exercise so if you wanna do it im sure you can.

What were your results this time around?

Hi Ladies

I'm doing JM Body Revolution at the moment. I love/hate Jillian workouts! Great workouts, great results but you have to listen to your body.

After reading some of your comments about sore knees etc. I thought I would share a few things that I learned doing Shred, Ripped and Body Rev.

Proper training shoes are important, an old pair of running shoes won't cut it as well as the surface that you are doing the workout on. I workout in the basement so I bought at Walmart a 3/4" mat that pieces together like a puzzle it provides some cushioning against the hard cement floor. Modify if you have to the plyo moves took a toll on me.

I was doing Body Revolution last year around this time and I tore the tendon from the bone in my left hip area. It was horribly painful and I had to stop working out for a few months and endured lots of acupuncture, physio and massage therapy.

The cause of my problem was the lunges with the upper body twist holding a weight. I thought I was a badass and kept pushing myself to go deeper and twist farther! Hard lesson learned. I was able to start running again in February of this year and it was a long slow recovery process.

I just started doing Body Revolution two weeks ago and I'm doing it at my pace not hers. Instead of working out 6 days a week I am doing it 4 times a week and I'm not doing her cardio workout in addition to my running and hot yoga.

Well done everyone keep up the great workouts.

Thanks SweetP. That is good advice. My knees have still been bothering me, although not as bad as they were. So I took today off and went for a massage! I might start level 3 tonight if I get my work done after my son goes to bed.

I just got body revolution. I would be interested in your thoughts on it too.
