30 Day Shred and really stiff!

Posts: 59 Member
So without sounding whiney, I started the 30 Day Shred yesterday. Last night I loved the feeling of the stiffness (muscles I hadn't felt in ages showed they were still there) but then after doing it again this morning, I'm quite sore. Battling to sit down and stand cos my legs and bum are really tight. I'm a busy mum with two kids under 3 so I'm on my feet all day running after them. I'm not sure if I should take a day off to let my muscles rest or if I should just push through and my body will get used to it.
Help please!
Help please!

Push through it! I started the 30 day shred a week ago and was super sore too! But don't stop, the more you use those muscles the more they will become accustomed and stop hurting

Keep going! You'll be much less sore after a few days. 0

Push through! The 3rd day will be the worst, but after that you will start to feel better. You muscles need to be warmed up and stretched, even though they hurt, in order to feel better. Push through the pain! 0

I was the same way after starting the Shred. I've completed it twice, and both times I had to take a day off to let my muscles chill. If you can push through the pain, then go for it. I wasn't able to it hurt that bad.0

Push through. Perhaps take a day and do just the modified version but definetly keep going. I just did my first day of L3 and it gets better!! Good luck!0

Know exactly what you're talking about!
The first week is the worst ... if it's just the big muscles that are just sore, you're fine. Keep pusing through!0 -
Push through it! I had to watch the stairs cause the muscles in my legs wanted to give out going down them. About day 4 it starts getting better though! I promise!0

Is anyone doing it every other day? I am alternating with running 3 to 4.5 miles a day.
I am hurting too but in a good way.0 -
I know how you feel! My sister and I started it together and she is a mom of 5 boys. She practically fell down the stairs her legs were so sore. It is best to do it again to continue using those muscles but just don't do it as intense as the first time. It will kill when you start but you should feel ok as you get into it. Good luck! The 30 day shred really works!0

OMG, I just started it too. On Saturday. I skipped Sunday because Sunday is my swim day (which was pretty painless since it's so easy on the joints). But yesterday I could hardly walk! I skipped my workout last night as well. I wasn't sure if I was just being a wimp or what! That workout is a lot tougher than I thought!0

Keep pushing through. I would also recommend doing some extra stretching - the DVD really doesn't offer enough stretches to keep from getting tight.0
-
Not familiar with this programme but, the best way to recover from training soreness is to keep moving [light activity] and drink plenty of water.0
-
Take a day off or modify the workout - muscles need time to recover. They usually say work the same muscle groups on an every other day schedule. Like do your upper body m/w/f and lower t/th with cardio mixed in. 0

I was thinking of buying it too but not sure if I should buy shred or ripped in 30? Which is better? They also say drink a protein drink after and it can help with recovery. I drink a lot of them and l never feel to sore. Not sure if that's good or bad. I like to feel lil sore so I know i'm working hard.0

Is this the Jillian Michaels shred? If so, I literally JUST finished day 1... 25 minutes and this is the closest I've ever felt to throwing up from exercise!0

I tend to do the 30 DS every other day just to let myself rest. But, I would suggest doing some stretches to help aleviate some of the pain. Push through it, when I first started I did it every day and once you warm up your muscles won't hurt. I does get better and rather quickly too.0

OK - maybe I should be asking what is the 30 day shred before giving advice :blushing:0

From what I hear, the 30 DS is better.0 -

Jillian Michaels from the biggest loser.....nuf said.0 -
I've heard that Ripped in 30 is harder and people who did both are glad they did 30DS first. That will probably be my next purchase. 9 days to go and I am done with 30DS!!0
-
The soreness that you feel should feel 'better' with movement. I encourage you to push through and drink a lot of water to get that lactic acid moving out!
No pain.... no gain....
Keep on0 -

yea its the jillian michaels shred..im on day 6 and still feel like throwing up near the end..my knees and calves are killing me..also is it normal to gain a lb or 2 during the 1st few weeks of starting 30ds? ive gained 1lb since starting it last wed and i figured the scale would have dropped by now

I have done both 30DS and RI30 and just completed day 3 of level 3 of 30DS. If you want to know which is better I think the 30DS is better and I felt like it was much harder of a workout. Now don't get me wrong, they are both killer at times, but I felt like the 30DS is challenging me more.0

Gosh, so many of my questions have been answered.
Definitely think I need to up my water! I drink generally 10 - 12 glasses but wondering if my body is needing a bit more.
I'd also been wondering about how short the warm up and warm down are. Will add some extra stretches in too.
And the feeling of throwing up afterwards is also quite common. Hoping as my fitness improves, that will get less.
And now that I'm aware, I won't be shocked if at my next weigh-in, I've gained a bit. Anyone know why that happens?0 -

Possibly from gaining muscle. OOOrrr all that lactic acid built up in our bodies. :laugh:0 -
I would strongly encourage you to take measurements NOW!! I was losing weight VERY consistently before 30DS and it took two weeks after starting to see the scale move but I know I lost inches during that time. Wish I had taken them to start.0

I read this amazing article on your last question ... I wish I could find it, it said something about when we do something our body isn't used to doing ... our muscles retain water and that causes weight gain. After almost two weeks, I started to loose again. Just stick with it!0
