Anyone else get a pain in there sternum while exercising? Im doing the 30ds and noticed the pain on my fourth day. I had surgery to remove my gallbladder in june but now im thinking my pain had nothing to do with my gallbladder. I just read about coschondritis, and all the symptoms match the pain i would get. And now again just very very slightly. Has anyone else gotten this pain before and what did you do about it?

    Yes and if u read on the internet it seems common in people working out with no clear answers on the cause. I think it's either inflammation or an injury. And I've done the same thong with 30ds before too. Ease off that a few days and stop when u feel the painad switch to a diff workout. Mine finallynstopped after a cotuple weeks of babying my chest area by avoiding heavy chest workouts

    Thanks so much for the response. Today I went for a walk instead of the 30ds. My end date was supposed to be oct 31st, but now it will probably be mid november because I am going to take breaks in between and walk instead. I read up on the internet and it is really common among women who exercise. I also read that just taking it easy and less intense cardio will help a little. Looks like I am going to have to take it easy from now on.

    Yw. I also read it was common among males when lifting. Since I'm not sure the cause, my thinking, at least in my case, is probably from the combo of pushups and weights in 30ds. I've noticed she doesn't do a lot to warm up chest area and I despise her cool downs and stretches bc they are nearly nonexistent. U might see if doing a.sports warm up and cool down help in the future.
