  • I have been running for several years now and started out just like you. I would recommend the C25K on the Cool Runnings web site. It will give you specific pointers on the training plan, and will be very similar to what you are already doing. I would say NOT to quit just because of the pain you are experiencing. As a…
    in Need running advice Comment by mom2mcs June 2012
  • I developed runner's knee NOT after my first 1/2 marathon but after the 5k I did the weekend after. This was with YEARS of running without problems. That being said is why I give this suggestion. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. My fear is what came true for me. You will continue to run and only continue to aggravate it. I TOTALLY…

    in Down 111lbs in 4 months!!! Comment by mom2mcs September 2011
  • I agree with doing less reps but being diligent to do those few correctly. However, make a point to do more reps with each class. In other words, if you only do 10 lunges one class, be sure to do 12 the next, then 14 the next and so on. You don't want to cheat yourself or become complacent. Keep up the good work!!!
    in What's better when you're fatigued?? Comment by mom2mcs August 2011
  • I do both the Shred it with Weights and the 30 day shred and when I searched for calories burned for the 30 day shred I found (I think on Jillian's web site) it was approximately 302 calories for the level 3 on 30 day shred. I estimate (until I find something more official) that it would be the same. Both have been…
    in Jillian Michaels Shred it with Weights Comment by mom2mcs January 2011
  • I agree with the first comment TOTALLY. You have lost overall average a lb a week which is the recommended amount. Remember that if you are exercising more than you normally have that you are also gaining muscle mass which weighs more than fat. Also make sure you are taking in enough calories as not to put your body in…
