    I had the same problem with P90X I got some epsom salts from the pharmacy and took a bath which helped a lot with the sore muscles. Also Ben Gay or Absorbine can help really sore spots. I just started the 30 day shred and I'm using 8lb weights, so I definitely feel your pain. You may want to try extra stretching before and after your shred workout ( I find extra stretching always helps.) When I was doing P90x I also laid on a heated blanket as if it were one giant heating pad ;) Good luck, hang in there. Muscle soreness means its WORKING :)

    did youg do each level for the full 10 days..if you did you should have built up endurance and strength 2lb weights are't that heavey to cause pain.Maybe you form isn't right ..or maybe you need to check with your doctor to get cleared for excerise
