S...Okay, I'm glad I found your blog again. :)<br /><br />So you inspired me to check out the Shred and now Jeremy and I are doing it together. The first time I tried it I seriously could only do 6 minutes before I fell on the floor and had an asthma attack. PATHETIC! It took me a WEEK to recover from 6 minutes! But then I started doing it again and after only doing it four times, I can get through all of the first level without having to stop. And now I pretty much love it, except when I hate it.<br /><br />I don't do jumping jacks or get completely off the floor during jumprope because it's just too hard on my knees and hips. Plus, I need a much better sports bra to make sure I don't knock myself out with my own body. :) <br /><br />I think you could definitely be having bone/tendon/ligament issues as a progressing problem with the jumping jacks, etc., which are about as high-impact as you can get. This is a problem that can develop over time. I even had shin splints just from power walking-light jogging to the train when I was working. It doesn't take much. <br /><br />When I do the jumping jacks and jumprope I put my whole body into it, to try to get as much out of it as I can, but I just jump from foot to foot rather than lifting off with both feet. This definitely seems to cut down on the jarring impact in my bones and joints, so maybe it would help you. <br /><br />I'm also alternating the Shred with yoga from day to day. Especially with the fibro, I don't want to knock myself out for weeks or something. The Shred workout is not much for flexibility, so I feel like I get a good relaxing workout, plus stretching those sore muscles and tendons, alternating yoga with the Shred.Chandellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469510353021344718noreply@blogger.com
