30 day shred pain - Help-What works for you?

ldbuster0

I have been doing 30 day shred for 12 days now. I started Level 2 this week-end. I have skipped about 3 days including today. My upper back feels like it is on fire. It started hurting during level 1. Not sure if it's the push-ups, the weights, or both. I have used ice packs and icy hot balm. I have also taken pain medicine and muscle relaxers. I'm not sure what else I can do besides take a rest from 30 day shred and do something else. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what has worked for you. Also have pain in my left knee. Have also used the same remedies for this pain.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions

I also get pain in my right knee and right wrist (lots of jumping and planks sets it off). I try to push through and if necessary do the modifiers rather than the hard version.

I think you have to use your own judgement. Take a few seconds in between and modify. Substitute some of the moves if you're really hurting.

Jillian has said not to do 30 back to back days but to take breaks and do just cardio in between. There are no rules, you just work within your own limits. The main thing is you're doing it, and are doing great!

Hunni if you're taking those things in order to soothe and heal your pain and it's not working then you need to take a break. Just be honest with your body. xx
