30 day Shred

does everyone do proper push ups or the half ones. The half ones hurt my knee and i can only do a couple of the full ones.

I can only do the half ones, I had breast surgery last year and my chest muscles are very weak so I don't want to push it. Even the half ones get sore for me.
It's much better in level two with the plank push ups because I just do the modified version and it doesn't put my muscles under anywhere near as much strain.


(sorry to post twice in a row)

I can only do half ones because my wrist is still weak from breaking it badly 5 months ago. I think I can see an improvement though after doing dvd 5 times

I do half ones, haven't even attempted full ones, perhaps I should try!

I do the half push ups and it hurt my knee too so I put a cushion under my knees don't know if that would help you?

done day 3 of level 2, doubt it did me much good since I had to stop early on nearly every excercise

I've taken the plunge and ordered this from Amazon. How much pain can £4.99 cause

That's exactly how I felt, was too tired this morning before work so I thought I'd do it tonight, when I got home I was too tired and just thought oh I'll skip a day but realised I'd probably quit if I started missing days so pulled the energy from somewhere!

I got my copy the other day, from reading this thread I think I'll build up my stamina before attempting this. I know what I'm like, if I find it too difficult I'll give up and stop exercising all together and I cant do that lol

I just did it i couldnt finish the strength in the second set or the jump rope i just stayed on jacks. bloody wreaked now but glad i did it. I think its easier to motivate myself in the morning i'd so many excuses for myself this evening.

I missed a day in level one think it was day 8 or 9 then I didnt get the dvd out for 10 days! I think its best to work through the pain because I always feel good when its over and done with and it gets less sore.

Day four done!!!

 

[cf70]

I just had an exam and I have a terrible cold and my muscles are sore. So I'm missing it today although I have walked about 2 miles home carrying very heavy bags so I feel I have done enough for being ill.

Haha it's quite good doing 30DS with other people because I feel I have to justify why I haven't done it today!

 

[Lovehatecarbs]

I agree it's great having a forum like this - I got to day level 2 earlier this week but now have dreadful cold and going away for a few days so will get back on track Wednesday!!

I did the 2nd day today. Everything seems to ache, but as they used to say: If it hurts, it's working! It's just a reminder to me that I have done some exercise, so I'm quite proud gingerly walking up and down the stairs.
