Awww...maybe you should try not to jump so hard or fast... Try it at a slower pace until you get more used to it... I hope you feel better soon!

I just got it and haven't tried it, although I have knee problems, should I do like faux jumping jacks?!?

Re: hurt my knee doing the shred :o(

be CAREFUL! I actually pulled my quadricep doing lunges the first time. If I take 5 minutes to stretch first I avoid the possibility of injury.

My ONLY criticism with the Shred is that Jillian doesn't do a warm-up, she just pulls you right into cardio. I ALWAYS stretch before working out (even though there is a lot of controversy that stretching beforehand doesn't do anything).

I feel the hardest part of the video is the jumping jacks b/c it feels like they are never ending!!
I hate that she says that you cant do the fake jumping jacks and also like you when she says people with 400pds can do it. I did the 2 level and must say I am so confused by the jumping jacks on the floor and i just stared at the screen like they are crazy!!

OMG are you ok?

Re: hurt my knee doing the shred :o(

yeah i'm ok :o) It was really bad today i could hardly walk on it, so i've been taking motrin around the clock and icing it, and it's a little better. I'll go to work tomorrow, and then I'm off the next 3 days, so i'll ease into it again.

FH decided he was going to do the shred today because he thought it would be easy. He usually jogs, so i figured he would have no problem doing it. WELL, LET ME JUST SAY, that he couldn't even finish it, and was cursing at jillian too!!!!!!!!!!!! and then when he went to walk up the stairs his legs were all wobbly loL!!! So, i guess it really is a great work-out. I just can't do the friggen jumping jacks!!!!
