30 Day Shred Question

Workout, even though you are sore. It will actually help to take the soreness away.

Can I still take my 2-4 mile walks every day or should my rest day actually be just that--resting no exercise?

I would say play by ear & listen to your body.

Sometimes I walk if I feel up to it, just at a more leisurely pace. Other rest days I feel so draied & tired that I literally just rest Just don't over do it & always listen to your body

I just started this today. I only made it for 23 mins after stopping twice for water. Is this pretty average for the first day?

My first day, I only made it through about half of it before I had to stop completely because I almost threw up. I was so sore for the next few days, I had to hold onto the sink to get on and off the toilet. I was reallllly out of shape. :laugh: I did keep at it, even though I was that sore. The next day I made it through the whole thing with lots of modifications and pauses to catch my breath.

How long do u do level 1 before going to level 2?

Some people do each level for 10 days, but I actually stuck with level 1 for a month and half because that was the only one that was on Exercise TV. I finally broke down and bought the DVD. I think you should move up whenever you feel ready to do so.

I find that if I am sore a warm up before a workout usually gets rid of that muscle tightness. Even just walking helps.

Thanks!
