OH.MY.GOD

Ok...so I spent a leisurely 20 minutes or so watching the DVD last night while eating some toast thinking hell, yeah...I can do that. A piece of p***

It is now 6.22pm, about an hour after I have finished Day 1 of level 1 of the shred and I feel like I have been run over by one of those rollers they use to on roads to flatten wet tarmac.
Even my ear lobes are sore
I cannot physically walk
Can someone please tell me it gets 'easier'...or a bit easier...or lie through your teeth...Please...ANYONE?????

    I am on day 7 workout. It does get better. I couldn't walk very good for 2-3 days. It gets worse, and then it is so much easier. You can do, don't give up! I have learned after a few days, to mute Jillian and turn on the radio for the workout.....

    I want to punch her smug face in.... and those two girlies who smiled all the way through. My husband looked worried at one point as he came in while I was lying sprawled on the floor unable to do the end cool down...with one of my hand weights across my neck!!

    i couldn't walk the first few days either, took a day off because i just didn't have time. The next day i did it and was still shaky and what not after but going down my apt stairs didn't hurt nearly as much! today will be my 5th day of doing it, i walked 4 miles instead yesterday, i have faith it'll get easier!

    BAHAHAHAHAHAHA....I know how you feel!!! :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

    I feel that way everytime I finish for the day, but yes, by the time you reach day 10 (or maybe day 8 or maybe day 15) you will be ready to move on to the next level...and then is starts all over again :tongue:

    I am 4 days into level 2 and the last time I did it (I just took a day off) I was able to do the whole thing and not spend 15 minutes lying on the floor afterward :bigsmile:

    Day 3 seems to be my magic day. On each level I thought I'd die, then on Day 3, I suddenly realized I would live :laugh:

    I am doing Ripped in 30 now, and am on Week 4. Each week the same thing happened.

    Day 3. Seriously. Just stick it out. You can do it!

    I felt the same way... It gets better and easier once you get your strength up. It took me about 3 months to get to level 3 but I finally made it! You hard work will pay off! It took me so long, because I wanted to keep up with the chick that did the un-modified moves. I wanted to punch Jillian right in her mouth some days, but I used that as motivation to get it done.

    Just know that every day you do it, you get stronger and closer to your goal.

    Do level 1 again tomorrow, because your legs will be so sore until work those muscles again! I made the mistake of starting on a Friday and taking the weekend off. I was so sore, but after my Monday morning workout the soreness was gone. BTW Level 2 is better with way cooler workouts than Level 1 and Level 3 is fun. So stick with it! You'll feel like a bad a**!

    It gets easier! I felt like dying my first workout, but it is amazing how quickly your body starts adapting.

    Oh, it does get easier and less painful...until you start the next level! I still remember dreading going to the bathroom because getting to the sitting position was a killer. I would try to flop myself down without using any muscles - pretty sight that must have been.
