30 Day Shred Challenge (4/16/12-5/16/12)

Is anyone having knee problems doing the shred? My knees are killing me.

YES! My knees were very sore. I dislocated my kneecap and tore my patellar tendon a little over a year ago and this dvd definitely gave me issues on that knee. I did put my knee brace on, but they can't protect you fully and can give you a false sense of security. I found that if I was having a difficult knee day I would do the motions on the jumping stuff, but not actually jump, or just jump very, very little. Ice and ibuprofen help. I did have to take about one day off in levels 2 and 3, it's just not worth the potential damage. I don't think it's nearly as effective that way, but I did lose some weight. Better than that, I lost inches, so I was pleased.

I'm on board with this as well, but there's no need to buy the DVD.

Thanks! I have started the Shred a few times but have never completed the whole 30 days. I always seem to go back to it.
I have always liked JM, she gives good cues and you can modify the moves if you want.

Same as that, this is my second time at the rodeo, so to speak.

While I remember, I have to do today's round, it's 10.30 p.m here and I've been travelling all day. I really could not be bothered, but I'm going to do it anyway. I expect I'll have a few choice words for Jillian tonight.

Definitely count me in! I'm on day three.

I am starting it tomorrow too! Let's keep each other motivated

Hi there! I was part of the march 16 30ds group but I injured my calves BADLY. I kept going and made it worse. So I have taken a break for a week now and want to start back up tomorrow. I was on level 2. I think I may do level one for a couple of days to get back into the swing of things. JM says you should do this program as follows:

2days 30 DS, 1 day cardio followed by 2 more days 30 DS one more day of cardio then rest day. I have been following this and doing c25k program on cardio days.

I mention this because a rest day question always pops up and also it will take me longer than 30 to complete!
I'm a busy mom of three so fitting in he work outs isn't always easy. I need all the motivation I can get ;-) and I'm happy to be there for others as well.

I would love to join add me please thanks!!

I'll do it with you! I was going to start back on it tomorrow. I did it before, but not consistently - it's a great workout! It's been a long time since I did it, so it will be like me first time all over again. (ouch tomorrow!) I can weigh myself, but don't have any way to measure myself, so mine will have to be based on weight lost, ok?

Not sure if you have all started, I just joined this site tonight ! I would love to start the shred aswell is it too late??

We just started today.

It's not to late to join.

Today was Day 6 for me. It's definitely become easier. I feel much fitter and I don't get sore at all the next day, but so far I haven't lost any inches or pounds and I don't see a visible difference in muscle definition.

Starting today, so I'll be a day behind! Glad to have the support of a group.
