30 Day Shred, quad pain

Rhiana1188

I just finished day 9 of the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I was very sore for the first few days when I started the workout, got over that part last week, and have been feeling great. But, today I noticed a pretty sharp pain in my quads during most of the workout. It's several hours later now, and it is still pretty painful. Anybody else experience this? And if so, did it go away?

Did you take a break within these nine days?
I took a break after day five since I was feeling awful after the fifth session. Although I was itching all day to do the workout, I knew I needed to give myself a break ( and finish a book instead )
In health class I remember my teaching saying when you over work your muscles you retain water within them? And you'll experience extra pain. I'm not sure how reliable that information is, since he was always the school's music instructor hah

That's actually pretty true.

you should also consider potassium and protein replacements..
when i work out, i have a protein shake, like APEX

if i dont want to drink the shake, i have a banana and some form of protein, like tuna, chicken or even shrimp sushi

Do you have access to a foam roller? When, I go crazy with squats or lunges, I find using one of those really helps.
