    I'd guess that your stomach muscles have just realised they have a job to do! Mine are fine but my quads were screaming at me, and my bum was noticeably 'worked', if you know what I mean. I expect as I get further into it, to find other muscles I'd forgotten I had!

    Well done for doing W2D1 - I bet you feel proud of yourself for doing it! Did you find it felt like a big step up? I remember thinking that Wk seemed like a breeze in comparison!

    i'm loving it and i found it hard but got through it only the last jog seemed to take it out of me but the pains last night were awful didn't feel muscular though, maybe cos there hidden deep down beneath all the fat lol

    LOL! Maybe you have strained something. Heard (read actually!) other people saying they felt sick and winded too, so it could be that it's normal. However, I probably the furthest it's possible to be from an expert, so hopefully other, more experienced joggers will cuip in here and give you some practical advice!

    Hope you feel better very soon. x

    i think it may have been something to do with your diaphram and the effect that heavier breathing has had on it, did it feel like when you get really bad hiccups? concentrate on keeping a regular breathing rhythym (easier said than done i know) and that might help, again i'm no expert but a bit of air trapped there could explain the pain and the winded feeling
