    30DS is really hard on my knee... last time I managed 5 days before I had to stop :( I do want to try again, but not too sure....

    Yeah it is really hard on the knees. I'm making myself do those knee exercises loads before I start and my knees still kill after! Not sure if there's anything we can do about it, maybe we should be wearing supports?

    I'm on day three today, and have just realised that I didnt measure myself when I started. I'll have to do that when I get home tonight. BTW - are you supposed to do the 30DS every day or every other day? I have heard conflicting reports and wondered what everyone else thought.

    Hey I am about to start the 30DS - I'm a little bit terrified to be honest!! How heavy are the weights you use or if you don't have the weights what do you use as a substitute?

    I've sort-of started 30DS. Only twice in July so far but ache for 2 days after so can't do every day but hoping that;ll ease off and I'll be able to up it to every day soon.

    I'm planning to start on Monday, or as soon as the weights I ordered from Sports Direct actually turn up.... Thinking it looks pretty hard! I know I'm going to struggle - at the moment I can't physically do one press up, let alone a minute's worth or whatever it is. It's not that I don't have the motivation to do them, just I physically don't have enough arm strength to push myself up off the floor! Soo yeah, this is not going to be easy!

    So turns out the weights have arrived and got left at my neighbour's house, so I have no excuse not to start it anymore... thinking that'll be tomorrow morning's plan :P have already agreed to go for a run with my housemate this evening and I don't think I could handle both haha.

    i did day 5 yesterday, its a tough 20 minutes and leaves me sweating like a sweaty thing but i'm determined to try to do all 30 days in a row. i'm going to do a 10, 20 and 30 day weigh in and really looking forward to seeing some results of my diet / exercise combo

    Jumping in i'm on day 3 tonight agree on the knees, they didn't hurt this much last time i started it but I was running then too so maybe the running had strengthened them?

    Day 3 done! Should be able to do tonight before I go out and then hopefully in the morning. Rest day Sunday then back on Monday,

    Don't ache anywhere near as much today but kind of ignored her stretches and did my own as I just don't find her's enough, also walked to the shop twice after i'd done it so maybe that loosened my legs up a bit.

    Good luck everyone!

    I did day 6 this morning, yay for managing 6 days in a row! I even managed some of the press-ups on my feet instead of knees today. Only about 3 mind you, but it's still an improvement :laugh:

    I'm off to stay with the boyfriend for the weekend and not bothering to take any gym clothes with me so it will be at least 1 if not 2 rest days for me now, depending on which day I come home.

    I was wondering though, do you count day of shred as the number of days you've actually done the workout, or do you count rest days as days of shred so you finish the dvd in 30 days??
