What should I be feeling like?!

allforthethrill

Hey everyone,
I started the 30 Day Shred 6 days ago now and at first I'd be super sore, which I heard was a sign that your muscles have torn in lots of little places and now they're growing bigger/ are recovering (well, not quite like that.. But you get the jist), anyway.. Initially I was super sore, especially my calf muscles but I'm not anymore and haven't been for a few days. Should I continue on and do the last 4 days of level 1 or should I go onto level 2/ should the fact that I'm not actually sore anymore be worrying as I won't be making progress?

Oh my, I hope that made sense to someone. HAH!

The amount of soreness you feel has no bearing on how good your workout was. Do not try to use soreness or lack of soreness as a guide. Carry on with the initial plan for your workout

Oh okay, thank you! I wasn't sure because I had a lot of people telling me that if I wasn't aching I wasn't doing it right.

Yup, the only time I get sore now is when I take a full week off from exercise.

I am up to day 3, Level 3 of the 30 Day Shred, and have taken at least one day off a week and one between levels.

You do need to stretch out your calves a lot as the bouncing movements will make them feel pretty tight!

Carry on with the 10 x of each level and at least one day off a week before moving up to the next.
