    LEVEL 1 DAY 2 = 173 CALORIES BURNED

    THIS IS MY 3RD TIME AT DOING A JM30DS CHALLENGE AND I HOPE NO ONE MINDS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER UP SOME TIPS I HAVE LEARNT ALONG THE WAY. FIRSTLY I AM 51yo AND NOT AT ALL WOULD I CONSIDER MYSELF FIT, I CURRENTLY WEIGH 94KG (207LBS). SO GET THE PICTURE I AM OLDER THAN MOST OF YOU, FATTER AND LAZIER SO MAYBE SOME OF THIS ADVICE WONT APPLY TO YOU. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY I AM NO EXPERT SO THIS IS JUST ADVICE FROM MY OBSERVATIONS AND EXPERIENCE.

    1. Do not be discouraged its harder than you think.
    2. If need to modify, modify, modify, otherwise you may give up.
    3. Do it at half pace if you need too.
    4. Jog on spot for jump rope if you have bad knees.
    4. Use light weights to begin with, and even none for side lunges or only every 2nd day.
    5. Have a towel folded ready to go under your knees for push ups.
    6. Bicycle crunches, I had to slowly build up did 5 then regular crunches.
    7. If needed take a rest day.
    8. Take measurements as well as weight at start.

    Hope this helps someone. I have too often seen so many get discouraged. If you need to take more than one rest day do so, listen to your body. You will still get benefit from how any little you do. Congrat yourself for every little step.

    I can't say I recorded large weight loss or measurements during my past 2 go's at this, but there was some, Biggest Bonus of all I felt STRONGER.

    WISH YOU ALL THE BEST, AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SHARING OUR EXPERIENCES ALONG THE WAY.

    I have a hrm. For me, logging it as 26 minutes of MFP circuit training (first arm cross to last stretch) it is really close to what my hrm monitor says.

    I started last week, but got sick and had to quit. Hopefully I will be okay to start up again soon. If so, I'm going to keep up with this group if it's alright with you guys!

    So I weighed myself at the end of the October 30 day shred and had only lost about 1 lb. Time to get serious and kick my *kitten* into gear. My goal is to be down 10 by the end of November. I know its ambitious but I think if i keep my mind to it i can get it done.


    Start weight - 162.2
    current weight - 150.4
    challenge goal weight - 140.4
    goal weight - 125
