    If squats are hurting your knees, check your form.

    I have knees that were supposed to put me in a wheelchair 6 years ago. Squats shouldn't hurt your knees if you are doing them properly and not using too much weight too soon.

    lunges... i have a bad knee and it kills. But if they are a required workout then I do them with caution. :)

    Does Treadmill count?, because I personally think it was designed by some dungeon master to be the most uncomfortable form of cardio in existence.

    I feel worse after using one than I do before, so I stick to either stairs, elliptical, bike, or old fashioned running.

    Burpees, definitely. Just too fiddly and annoying or something.

    Don't like lunges much either but I'm doing them, with a barbell.

    Love squats , feel like a real proper weight trainer when I do them!

    I just googled "Jillian Michaels' spider pushup planks". Up until now I had never seen one, never mind tried one, but I'm fairly sure I'm going to despise it.

    Someone please tell me its not in Level 2 or 3 of the 30 Day Shred! Please! (even if it is, tell me it isn't!) :sad:

    Jillian Michaels' spider pushup planks, her jumping oblique twists, her squats with v-raises and finally her double jump ropes...I groan every time I get to these spots on her videos, but I know they are for my own good! Doesn't mean I like them lol!

    Definetly the double jump rope for me. My calves were screaming even in level 1!

    OMG! Who are you telling? I couldn't walk for 3 darn days after my last bootcamp. And I'm pretty sure it felt like we did squats the WHOLE time with every station. LOL
