Hey all,

I was considering trying the 30 day shred but I just watched a clip and I don't think I could do it with all of my ailments. I have a bad neck that is sensitive to any kind of strain, basically I get headaches and ringing in my ears almost instantly. I sprained it when I was 5 so ever since then it's been an annoyance. I also have carpal tunnel in both wrists, when I even attempt a push up I'd say the pain is a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. My knees ache but they usually aren't too bad unless I really beat them up.

Should I not even bother with the 30DS?

    I suggest you consult with your doctor as their advice would be the best.

    i have really severe neck pain as well it does suck with that (have you ever gone to a chiropractor?) as for the wrists if you really want to do it would wall push ups be easier for you?

    I say don't bother.... it's not worth an injury or pain of any kind. There are lots of other things you can do, but i'd worry about getting hurt with 30DS. Good luck!

    Biggest Loser has other Low Impact workouts. Easier on injuries and not as strenuous as the Shred

    Train, don't strain. There are tons of exercises that are just as good for you but won't aggravate injuries. The point of exercise is to feel better and get healthy, not cause pain and injury.

    I just can't see doing something that I'm not going to enjoy at all because everything hurts. It's disheartening to be 24 and have these kinds of problems that could potentially prevent me from doing things I'd really like to try. Wall push ups might be easier since the pressure on my wrists would be less. Thanks for the suggestions and thoughts everyone.
