Today I just finished Day 7!!!
I had bad knee pain, just above the knees on Day 4 and 5. It was very bad and I started thinking that I am damaging my keens. But I discovered something which seems to working well. I started doing these 2 things since Day 6 and I am noticing the difference.
1 ) I walked for 20 mins (I do brisk walking). But I think just some more warming up can do the knees some good. The jumping jacks, skipping did not hurt that much!
2) It was all in my form!! During Squat and Press I used to lift myself up with my knees, even though my knees were not bent forward (I figured it out when I observed that my weight was on my toes rather than the rest of the foot or the heel) When I started concentrating on my butt, that is when I started distributing my weight on rest of the feet and lifted myself up using my thighs/and butt
Also, during other exercises where I had to bend the knees I was making sure I stick my butt out, correct my form and lift from my thighs/butts and keep my weight on rest of the feet (NOT on my toes).
By doing this my knee pain has reduced by 70% . I hope this would help some of you with the knee problems during the 30DS.
Cheers!

Great advice! I have seen a huge difference in my knees since I started. I agree the key is to watch your form and use your butt!0
