30 Day Shred (30DS) - Starting 5/23

Great to see everyone doing so well, I finished day two today and I'm (in a very weird way) looking forward to day three. Every day is a step closer to success :happy:

I had knee trouble the first time I did the Shred all the way through but by day 20 it had all but gone. I found ice packs to really, really work. Well done to everyone for giving it your best go, it's well worth it!

See you tomorrow guys x

I'm in. Sounds like an awesome challenge. Guess I need to go buy the DVD. Lol. What did you say it's called? Thanks!!! Please add me as a friend.

Actually, it's my thighs that are bugging me. o.o;;

Also, my knees click during the jumping jacks. I don't exactly modify them, but I don't do huge leg movements there. Essentially, instead of big jumps where your feet are several inches in the air, I kind of move them about an inch, and kind of shuffle. It's easier on my knees, as there's less impact.

I finally did it! I completed the workout on day 4 for me! I am sweaty and tired but its a good tired. thanks to everyone for support and good job to all how completed the day!

Day 4 completed this morning - I can actually tell that my tummy is a little tighter if I look in the mirror Great job everyone, keep it up!!

Finished day two had a bit of trouble keeping up with the cardio. Don't know why since I started at the same pace as they did. I have trouble doing the pushups cant do full can't do modified cuz of my knees won't take it so I do them at an angle off the couch which is also kind of hard. Sore from yesterday because I made the mistake of doing my regular exercises after doing the shred. my body isn't ready for that yet. feel ok after this day but I was still telling her I hate her lol...

I've had to bind up my knees to get through this workout and I want to throttle Jillian everytime she says "I've had 400 pound people doing jumping jacks - you can do it, too". With a brace and supports on my knee I have been able to get through it, but today there was actual pain (bone on bone grind-y kind of pain) with the butt-kicks, so I switched to a modified exercise - fast marching, side steps - for the cardio portion. Is anyone else having knee trouble?

I have bad knees as well I was doing full squats like the full version months ago and had to stop after I had finally gotten my legs strong enough to do 160 with 1 min breaks. The jumping kills me and so do any of the squat exercises but I keep on going. If my body tells me I can't anymore I will break for as long as I need and come back. I know you are only allowed 5 seconds but if I don't drink water I can't breath right. I don't have knee braces though I can't afford the extra $60 right now

Just completed day 2, missed a day yesterday but I did some walking instead. I might do it every other day unless I can fit it in every day. I am aching though especially my thighs so it must be working. Keep up the good work everyone

just finished day 4 and im icing my right calf as i type. i was a bit sluggish with it this morning but i still burned 300 calories. i n0w alternate between 3 and 5 lb weights and go hard core on squatting when using 3lbs and modify when using 5. the scale hasnt moved and i should not have gotten on but the impatient 2 yr old inside of me wanted to see it move downward in two days. I am definately noticing my endurance changing. i was able to get through the entire video on day 1 but i struggled. on day 4 i still dont "breeze" through the push ups but i dont get shaky until #15 ish.

Keep going everyone!!! Each day we complete we are one step closer to a happier healthier you

Missed day 4, had a fever all day yesterday, but I'm better and ready to do my day 4 today!

Sounds good! Im in...I have it at home and started it so many times but never felt the need to stick with it. Now i have a reason to keep at it!
