    Hi!

    I have 12 more days of of Jillian Michael's 30 day shred. I typically do additional cardio + strength training while doing the shred.

    I'm rarely sore from it. I occasionally have some upper back soreness and during level 1 I had soreness/a cramp in my butt that has since then gone away.

    did today!!! i started feeling nauseous at 12 min in (dumbell rows) and it stayed off and on throughout the rest of the workout. im going to consider this day 2 (for ocd purposes) because i DID do this last tuesday. now... i know it sounds silly and TECHNICALLY it is day 1, but since today is august 2nd im saying day 2 anyway. :P lol

    questions: does anyone have tips on knee pain/popping? is it something im just going to have to live with and work around or does that "burning OMG my knees are going to explode" feeling go away eventually? ALSO... WHY do i always end up crawling up the floor when i do bicycle crunches? am i alone here?

    i NEVER make it past 3 days in a row so heres hoping i can :)

    also... picture.

    Today is my Day 6 I wrote it out so I can take it to the gym and do HIT and extra push ups and that's working out great! Yesterday I did 45 mins of Pilates, 45 mins of strength training, came home and did 30 DS then relaxed had a nice dinner and then went to the gym for a quick 20 mins stair-master and for dessert, I added hip abductors, leg raises, leg press, chest press and other stuff. I rewarded myself by going to the whirlpool and steam room. I actually think adding 30 DS in between other routines will give you an extra boost if you want a challenge. But don't overdo it until your body says more please!

    For the knees I wear a brace on both knees and it helps with the impact
