30 Day Shred question

I love it! I have been doing it a week. It doesn't bother my knees, but I have never had issues with my knees. Can you rent videos from your library? You can rent exercise videos from some libraries.

i just bought it today. hope it goes well..

Personally: I think it's 'just okay.' Don't ask me what I was expecting but..... it's basic cardio: jumping jacks, jog in place, along with ab and leg workouts. They do a 3-2-1 system: 3 min cardio, 2 min weights, 1 min abs, repeat 3 times. It is a great workout dont get me wrong....I just wasn't impressed as it was nothing new. I have stopped doing it and am back in the gym.

I'm starting it tomorrow! I hadn't heard any complaints about knee problems but I'll definitely keep ya posted!

I've been doing it for about a week now and at first i was pretty hard...but after you get use to it you can really tell a difference from day one! I suggest getting it! I've seen more positive feed back then negative

I have bad knees...the left one mostly...so I got a little brace for it...use it at the gym now too. For me I just don't go too deep into the lunges and things that like that. And always make sure you have good form. Even if you have to go slower than her to make sure you're keeping the knees behind your toes it's worth it. I haven't noticed any additional trouble since using any of the JM DVDs. Just modify what you have to (I was scared to do jumping jacks in the beginning so I would just march in place and do the arm movements) The higher level cardio I always do the modified version of the crazy jumps she does on the floor.

But as long as you're not overdoing it working the muscles around your knees will help in the long run to support the joints.

I should be on level 1 day 9 but i gave up o n it on day 5 it is boring to do it everyday. I do other stuff but i know the level one workout so I actually do it while watching a tv show. lol i will turn it on again i just cant do it everyday. it was hard and you ache all over which is good because it works all you muscles. My knee did ache a bit too.

My left knee hurt terribly the first day I ever did the 30 Day Shred, and about two days afterward. Then I paid better attention to my form and it turns out I wasn't doing the movement correctly. Jillian even warns about when someone is lunging incorrectly and how it places unnecessary stress on the joints. If you look at her movement and compare yours with hers, you might not experience any knee pain at all. I do have painful joints over all, but after modifying my form, I have yet to experience joint pain in my knees as a result of the 30 Day Shred since.

Hope this helps.

I'm at Day 7. First timer.

My knees hurt int he beginning...but as I've progressed physically and learned better form, it has really eased. They don't bother me hardly at all when I do it now. (SIDE NOTE: I was just at my doctor and told him about my knees hurting at some things, but not at running. He determined that my outer thigh muscle is much stronger than my inner and so my kneecap is "pulling" a bit. He said it should get better as my inner gets stronger and I think in that regard this DVD has helped my knees).

I found it really hard to start. I was SO SORE the first day or 2. On Day 2 the WARMUP killed. But the major soreness was only the first couple of days.

I don't find myself thoroughly "enjoying" it....but I can't deny it's results. I'm already noticing big changes in firmness and inches lost and I'm only at Day 7. For results like I'm getting, I'll do 30 days even if I'm not having the best time. To bust some of the boredom, I don't use the sound and listen to my ipod while doing it. It helped a lot.

I also still do cardio for 30 mins, just about every day for fat burning/cardio endurance as a supplement.

Just ordered it with a 21 day free trial, so I'll see how it goes. I don't know if it will be here by monday, but will definately join your group when it arrives.
