  • Hi I wish i could offer some advice, but I cant, as I am in exactly the same situation and have spent the morning googling knee pain myself :-S Whilst on a long hilly run this morning my knee popped as I went up the steepest part, and is now stiff. I had a similar problem on a long run a few weeks back and took a week off…
  • I'm doing a 10k on september 2nd.... I'm so nervous!!! I run with a ladies running group twice a week, but I'm terrified of being the last person in, so want to try and do some more sessions (prob on the treadmill when the baby sleeps.....if the baby sleeps....!!) to up my speed. I'm currently up to 8k distance wise, our…
  • I am part of a ladies running group, and we always run outside. However I also use the treadmill inbetween group sessions too. Although it is much harder i prefer the outdoor runs. I find the mix of terrain conditions me all over (one gravel path track we run makes my abs ache!), as well as different terrain you get…
  • Another day done, so that is four days of shred and one long run of 8k since Sunday, I know it may sound silly, but I really feel like I can see the difference in my body already and im feeling really positive about the results at the end of 30 days (which will fall in nicely before my brothers wedding). Ive just ordered…
  • I really admire anyone who can do this everyday for 30 days, Ive done two days on the trot, then a day where i did a long run, and then shred again today, and my muscles are really aching. Surely you need to let them recover some!?!
  • Hi from the UK I came off depo approx 6 months ago for various reasons, the huge one being depression, the next one being weight gain. I found the weight was sticking in places it never had before (mainly around my hips, creating a nice muffin top...). Its been 6 months now and my weight loss has gone so slowly. In the…
  • Also done two days and jogging tomorrow :-) I definately felt it more after the 2nd day!!!
  • yay, he napped :happy: so I got to do the shred this morning! my 4 year old did it with me, although his version included a lot more jumping across the sofas than my version :bigsmile: I actually enjoyed it and managed to do all the reps, I followed anita, so im thinking maybe i am fitter than i realised from the running,…
  • Where are you? I'm in the UK and my baby is also coming up to his first birthday. I have a dvd by a british celeb called Davina McCall, that is specifically for pregnancy and post baby. The post baby section has lots of exercises aim-ed at the mummy tummy area. Its pretty gentle, but it has worked for me. I still have a…
  • A friend at work gave me the dvd last week, and I plan to start today (but you can guarantee baby boy wont nap in the day and I'll be doing it just before bed!!). I run twice a week with a ladies running group, so I plan to do the shred on the days I dont run....although that all depends on how hard im finding it and…
