I just started the JM 30 day shred and tonight will be day 3 - i am sooooooooooooooo ungodly sore I want to cry - I feel like if I take a "rest" day then I am defeating myself and the whole point of the 30 day shred. Correct me if I am wrong but....30DS = 30 straight days?!?!?!?!?! no?
After day 1 I was sore but not like this - my 3 yr old climbed on my lap and I nearly hit the roof - Plus I am also afraid if I take a rest day b/c I am sore then I will be using this excuse all the time - UGH what to do what to do! push through it? 30DS when does the pain stop?

    Also, after 3 or 4 days your body will be used to this and you will not be nearly as sore.
    Drink plenty of water, and make sure you walk around and stretch after your workout.
    Don't give up, at least for the next 5 or 6 days. One day off a week is plenty (and recommended)....

    Work through it if you want. I did take a day or two off during level one, and still lost inches and got a lot stronger.

    I actually am off it right now because of a chest cold. I'm trying to figure out whether to do level one for a few days when I start up again or just go right into where I was in level two - we shall see.

    Good luck!

    I am on day 3 too. My thighs are really sore but I am not feeling anything in my abs. I was hoping my abs would be feeling it more.

    my whole body hurts - it's funny b/c my abs are very sore (even including my lower belly) and I laughed and said to my husband - didn't think I had abs LOL
    I didn't think my whole body would hurt - this is crazy :laugh:
