Day 8 L1 down...2 more days and on to level 2! Have had a crappy couple of days with food though, so not looking forward to my weekly weigh in on Saturday!! Definitely seeing some change in my shoulders, which is good! Keep up the good work everyone.0

I cheated today - did the dvd but whenever she did a cardio section I jumped on the elliptical for those minutes - want to see if my knees will come right and worried about worsening them.0

Man, I have been real slack! I've not done any 30 DS since earlier in the week.
But that's cause I've been tired. And well, level 2 kind of scared me. I'm like, hmm, can I really handle that intensity today?... And keep deciding, I don't quite have enough energy, so maybe another day.
AF has come to visit. So, like always, the tiredness has been setting in, so not felt energetic enough to do another day. But, I have been getting some walking in at least. Also I get back pain when AF is about to visit and while it is here, and that makes exercise hard.
I'm wondering if it's a good plan to finish doing 30 DS at this stage. As I went to Shoe Clinic, and had a talk to them and an assessment and apparently, my calves aren't doing their job properly, I have too much tension in my legs and knees and I couldn't even bend my leg enough to touch the counter(and the counter was close) So I'm wondering, if I'm going to screw up my body further, by continuing. And LOL! Apparently DC skate shoes aren't the best for exercises and walking...oops!
I really need to go to a Podiatrist, as apparently, that's how bad my feet, legs and knees are. So I can get fitted for proper sports shoes until I've sorted out my needs.
When I was trying to do the slight squat to touch the counter, my heels kept raising, which is not supposed to happen, which is where the problem of the tension is coming in.
It's like, argh, do I keep doing 30 DS despite this or do I give it a miss til I have my feet sorted?...
I guess, the sensible thing would be to sort my body out first aye? As I can still walk, that's exercise. I just like to finish what I start and feel pissed off and disappointed with myself when I don't.0 -
Wow. Can you just go into
Shoe Clinic branch and get an assessment? Is it free? Do you have to Tell them the problems first? I wonder if my knee pain is from those pendulum lunges in level 2. Cant think what else!0 -

Yup, it takes about 20mins. I have plenty of pre-existing problems with my hips and knees anyway, so not everyone will need to go to a Podiatrist like me. You never know, it could just be your shoes or it could be something else. But it's worth finding out either way. You can tell them your issues, so they have more of an idea of your needs. For my friend, her issues were just related to her shoes, so for her, it's as simple as a good pair of shoes. Why couldn't I have it that easy?! LOL!
My issues are, knees, which have done the clicking nose for years when bend and extended. I also have a rocked pelvis, which means it's in a slightly abnormal position. I have a sway back(exaggerated curve of the the spine) and my hips are slightly out of alignment. I know, wasn't I blessed with an awesome body LOL0 -
I must go in. I have a mild curvature of the spine so one hip is very slightly higher. Also have very high arches but that was taken into account when bought my new shoes.0

Bought the 30 Day Shred on Trademe in the weekend. Will hopefully get it by the end of the week? Excited to start!
I have two days left of Jillian's book "Making the Cut" to go, but I'm looking forward to trying out a DVD instead of a book.0 -

That's awesome! Hope it arrives nice and fast :happy:0 -
Looks like it's modified shred for me from now on. Just went to physio - she thinks my knee pain may be from the sacroiliac joint in the pelvis, and the ankle pain from shin splints. Sigh. So will have to keep jumping on the elliptical for those cardio sections. Feel gutted, but will do level 2 day 6 tomorrow.0

You're still doing better then me, keeping it up Emma.
I've not done anymore 30 DS for a week!0 -
I too am getting pain, feels like the back of my knee and around my achilles tendon, there is a lot of jumping the the work outs so i am guessing it is related to that, as when i done the shred tonight a lot of it i had to stop due to the pain, im hoping level 3 will be easier.0
-
I'm DLing 30ds as we speak, I needed an exercise to do at home so this is what I WILL do!!!
Going to start prob tomorrow :-) I'd love to be a part of the siggy kelly0 -
Just did D2 L2 - think I might die! Had a couple of days off between day one and day two as my son's been sick with viral gastro and can really notice the break!! D1 seemed a lot easier when I was doing shred everyday.0
-
D3 L2 for me yesterday......I ended up doing it at 4pm with all the kids! One of the twins stuck with me the whole way through, doing his own modified version Even had their own weights (plastic skittles!!)0
