It's cold, it's dark, but that's not going to stop us pounding on through Jillian's many evil exercise programmes however much some of us may hate them. The goal is to be in shape and looking fabulous at this year's Christmas parties! Come on, you know you want to...

Thanks ShowMe, I thought that might be the case. I could try with the shadow boxing, and run on the spot instead of jump rope. Maybe I'll get the dvd on and just watch it through from the sofa to decide Smile

At least in my own living room I can skip what I can't do, rather than feeling like an old crock in a group exercise class when I can't do half the stuff.

Just the people I need to talk to. Is it possible to do any of Gillian's dvds with dodgy knees? I can't do any squats or lunges at the moment. Jumping around, running etc is fine, as is upper body stuff, planks etc but anything requiring flexing of the knees is agony at the moment.

Being treated by the physio and have been cleared for exercising but just not anything that hurts! And the weather is turning me right off running. I wondered whether it's worth unwrapping the GM dvds that have been sitting on my shelf for about 3 years……..

30DS L3D2 done. The muscle I pulled last week doing her f**ing one-legged burpees with pushup is still hurting, so I think I'll stick to the Shred tomorrow too before I go back to Killer Abs and have another go at the sodding burpees.

Welcome Poppiesway. I don't know anything about asthma management, I'm afraid, but during the summer when it was stupidly hot I skipped all or some of the cardio sometimes - it was definitely still more effective than not exercising at all.

Hope you had a lovely time, yadah.

Yay a nov thread. Thanks imogen have been away blissfully exercise free. Am trying not to think about tomorrow morning's assault.

I'll join!!
I had all intentions of starting yesterday.. But at tail end of a cold which has left me wheezy.. I'm considering starting tomorrow and missing out the cardio for a few days so I don't have an asthma attack!
