    Have you tried doing them against the wall? Maybe making your one hand a fist? Just some suggestions that have worked for me when I broke my thumb.

    did try the wall thing but not with a fist and it still hurt. will try that tomorrow thanks so much

    Day 1 - DONE!!



    day 1 is done but have problem, back in february of this year i fractured my hand where my thumb meets my wrist. i tried to do push ups this morning and i cant do them due to wrist/hand pain. any suggestions on what i should do when the shred calls for the push ups?

    I have issues with carpal tunnel in my right hand and tenosynovitis in my left. When I am having flares, I do pushups on the wall (less body weight and stress on the joint) or I hold plank on my forearms. Hang in there!!!

    going to try wall push ups while making a fist tomorrow with that hand if it still hurts i will do the plank thing.. thanks

    Level 1, Day 1, 3# weights, 137 cals (per HRM), 25 mins

    On the road--will measure/weigh on Weds. Got to say, Jillian kicks my butt but I want to use 3 and 5 pound weights--need more resistance on a couple of exercises.

    Since it's not a huge cal burn I am aiming for 5 hours cardio each week, too.

    Congrats to all on Day 1! ( or whatever day you're on!)

    Oh my - I thought I was pretty fit, but clearly I have no upper body strength! I was very good and got up and did it before work through :smile:

    Height: 5'7"
    Weight: 165lb
    Neck: 13.2"
    Waist: 36"
    Hips: 42.5"

    I'm also running a couple of times a week and cycling to work four days a week, so lets see what happens!

    add me to the list :-) I have the DVD and have only done it once or twice mixed in with other things. I need to get a good fitness routine going and this would be a great jump start to something more serious....

    I'M new and would like to join! I tried in another group a few months ago but I got sick and then we moved and doing all that with a baby is hard so hopefully nothing will get in my way this time!

    Finished Day 1 of Level 1 today! I actually did two days in a row last week and had to give my body a rest because I went from zero to shredding in a day and I actually felt sick I was so sore :frown: Definitely not fun, but today was WONDERFUL!!!! I got through all of the pushups on my knees this time and did all but 5 of the lateral lifts with 3 pound weights!! :bigsmile: I must say I notice a HUGE difference in my endurance from the first and second times and I'm super exited to see what I feel like tomorrow!:happy:

    I woke up super late today and I actually just ate a bunch of random junkfood that I'm putting under snacks. Mer:grumble: I definitely need to learn to control what I eat. Unfortunately healthier foods tend to be more expensive. Oh well! Good luck ladies and keep up the hard work!!

    Alright, even though I started last week I only made it through four days. So, let's refresh this and not fall behind. I am in it with all of you! I made it through day one, level one. Felt great to not come home from a sitting job to just sit down some more. And since I don't work out on Sundays, I now have the motivation to double up one day! Good thinking! I love everyone's posts! And for my weight goal... well, I just want my pants to fit a little more comfortably first off. Then I can focus on shedding more pounds if need be and this will be a great stepping stone WHEN I can see it through! So pumped!!

    Hi!!
    I am sooo excited to be a part of this group!!! I have not worked out for years!!! I am so out of shape and have really let myself go.

    My goal at the end of this 30DS is to first, feel better! I am going to give it all I can. I really don't know what to expect. I don't want my expectations to be so high that I get pissed if I don't get there.

    My starting measurements are (And I don't even know what to measure, and where or what you call some of the areas~ but thought this is what I would want to know):

    arm: 12.5
    thigh: 25
    neck: 17
    waist: 43
    hips: 43
    around my boobs: 44
    under my boobs: 40

    These inches really freaked me out today when I measured. I just didn't have a clue!!!

    Weight starting: 187lbs

    Did day 1 today of the challenge and my legs feel like rubber and I feel like I am floating when I walk!!!

    And please add me as a friend! I need all the help~motivation~and support I can get!

    LOVE THIS!!
