Today was supposed to be my last day of the Shred but my wrists are KILLING me!!!! Level 3 is so hard on my wrists! Has anyone else had this problem?? Yesterday I got through it but I had to do modified push ups and everything else because of how bad they hurt and I haven't been able to move them for a few days now! LOL! Today I just couldn't do it. They need a break! They seriously feel like they are going to snap in half!

    You should definitely wait until your wrists feel better. Don't push it. I pulled a muscle at the end of level 2 and had to take a 2 day break(in bed all day for those 2 days). When I decided to get back at it, I had to do modified moves for half of level 3. The rest did me well and also the modifird moves. Ice them, wrap them up and take a few days rest. If you're not feeling better soon, I advice you to go to the doctors just to be safe.

    Hope you get well soon!

    You could always substitute some of the level 2 activities for the level 3 ones that are hurting you.

    Id say take a rest day too...it will do you the world of good...Im finishing level 1 this week, so Im concerned that level 3 makes your wrists hurt!!?? Is there a special deadline you are trying to meet at the end of Shred? If not then it wont hurt to even give yourself 2 days off....or do something lighter, less intense...

    Good Luck!

    No deadline. It is just the last day. But I've been doing it for 30 days so I think I'm done! :) I have boney wrists and I think they are probably just week. Level 3 has a lot of plank position exercises so I think it was just hard on them. I am taking a little break and then I will either re-do the shred or start P90X. I am familiar with P90X and there isn't as much plank stuff in it. I have loved the Shred but man! My wrists really hurt! If they don't feel better after a break, I will go in to see if I did something.

    P90X is awesome! The workouts are about 60-90 min though every day. They are different every day so it doesn't get boring and is supposed to confuse your muscles. It really is a good workout program!
