I bought Jillian's micheals 30 day shred. I've never really exercised like this in my life. I know ill be damn sore. I'm starting tomorrow. Do I take a break for a day or two if I'm real sore? Or do I deal with it? I mean its a 30 day program.

    Well.. soreness = deal with it. Injury = stop. You'll know the difference. Besides, the soreness and stiffness you will feel is laectic acid build up in your muscles. It won't hurt you, and the best way to get rid of it, is to keep moving it. Farther into the program, you won't get the build up, and you'll be killing every workout.

    And yes, it's a 30 day program, not a 25 day program ;) do the 30 days!

    On my 2nd day I felt SO sore in my legs I could barely walk down the stairs. However, I decided to push through and do day 2. Surprisingly, once you start and get warmed up, you don't seem to notice it.

    If you take a rest day every time you feel sore on 30DS, you won't ever complete it. I'm now on Level 3 Day 5 and I'm still sore every day.

    Learn to like the pain...it just shows you it's working!

    I've done some of her 30 Day Shred. I suggest doing your own stretching along with hers. I needed some extra stretching before and after because I was very stiff in the beginning. As I continued to do it, I did not need the extra stretching as much.

    Good luck and Happy Exercising!

    Do it everyday. Take some Advil if you are very sore. I just finished day 15.

    I was very sore on the sides of my chest after the first two days, and felt strain and pain on push-ups and chest flies (with 10 lb weights). So I took a break on day 3 and it helped a ton. I have gone 13 days straight since then.

    I just did Day 1 - Level 1! I think it is okay to be sore to an extent. We will probably be sore every day from 30DS...but if you can barely move, then I would take a day off.

    I did too, day 1 lvl 1. Im already sore, haha. Tomorrow should be even worse.
    But I plan on just doing it every day and dealing with it.
