I started on April 28th- I had actually tried it before, last year, but gave up after 2 weeks because it really hurt my knees. This time I've approaching it differently- I started going on very fast, hour-long walks 6 days a week back in March, and stretching, especially working on my calves and hamstrings. This seems to…

I'm actually about to start walking again...I lost quite a bit before Xmas walking back and forth to classes every day, but have piled it back on now I'm sedentary again. A brisk walk is excellent exercise, and much kinder to your joints than jogging. I really miss my daily power walk. My problem is that while I enjoy it,…

I got 2 weeks in and my right knee flared up. First just a little twinge on the outside of the kneecap and a weird sensation like it was weak and might pop out or something.

After a couple of days, I progressed to 'girly' push-ups, and can now do both circuits that way. It doesn't take long to build the strength up. Next stop: knees off the floor!…

I'm on my 6th day of the Shred, had one rest day and 2 days of Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism for variety and to try and minimise knee damage (I am finding 30DS to be hard on the knees and I've never had problems before!) Overall I like this workout, it's repetitive but it's short and while my muscles were screaming after…
