    Shin splints?? Could you tell me more about them?? I am afraid that I may have them, but I don't know for sure if it would be that, or muscles?? My shin... area was FINE for the first 4-5 days, but then yesterday they started to hurt really bad. But it could just be muscles?? I don't know... They feel fine ish when working out, but after, they're killer. :/

    Can anyone shed some light?

    Shin splints is the pain you get in the front of your calf so when jumping or heavy impact exercises it is sore or tender. Or when you place weight on the muscle there such as sitting on your legs folded under you there is pain. I am no expert but my understanding is improper stretching of this muscle. She doesn't stretch this muscle in the warm up or cool down. I do extra stretches. The calf muscles wrap around your leg and feet so you have to stretch both front and back. You can do runners stretch where you place hands on wall and place one foot behind and stretch and alternate. Also you can get up on your tip toes and walk for 30 steps and then get up on your heels and walk 30 steps and repeat. This has helped me tremendously.

    I finished day 2 but moved to lvl 2 as I have done this before and lvl 1 is easier on me now and I get bored easily as well. Plus I walked a mile so nothing crazy today, just had a hard time getting motivated for some reason to do more.

    level1 day2 done - ugh i am so lucky to have my fiance here while i'm doing these - i feel like quitting 100 times during it because i feel so weak. it's soooo hard for me i feel like no one else is struggling LOL!!

    i'm only using 3lb weights and i feel like it's always my legs that are about to give out. especially the fact that the majority of the strength training is done in squat or lunge position. my thighs always are shaking and i feel like i'm gonna fall over.

    is anyone else having a hard time?! my pecs/shoulders are sore but i feel like the arm strength training isn't whats hardest for me. i'm following anita too - so it's not even like i'm pushing myself super hard, i feel like a bum haha.

    i hope this gets more manageable because i'm getting frustrated.

    Level 1 - Day 2 done! Along with Turbofire! I am completely exhausted and covered in sweat and it feels awesome! :bigsmile:

    Quick question: How many pounds are you guys using for the weights? I've been using 2 lbs per hand and I just don't feel like its enough. I was thinking of upping my weights to 4 lbs per hand after a few more days of level 1.

    ~ SERIOUS SHREDDERS GROUP - Days 01 & 02 (17th, 18th October) ~

    Okay, here it is. Please note:

    * Everyday I'll be checking and posting an updated list based on your confirmation of working out everyday.
    * It would be very helpful if you put something like Day 1, Level 1 done, D1L1 done or something like that. It would help me to update correctly the table and will eliminate the guessing :D.
    * Please check your info, in case I had something wrong, let me know in a post.
    * To avoid messing with the thread please PLEASE do not quote the list (it is already too long).
    * Since the list is to long, being realistic not everybody is going to keep it up, even at the beggining, so I think after 10 days I will delete from the list those who haven't report any workouts in this topic.
    * For those already working out but not on the list, just post the workouts and levels and I will add you on the next daily table.
    * Finally, for those working out extra days (those who have already 5 or 7 days working out in the second "official" day, I put on the table the days you confirmed here you already did. If you want me to count only from the "official" day 1 (monday 17th october) let me know in a post.

    Day 2 Level 1 done. I was a bit sore today from yesterday, but I got through it, I know the pain will lessen as my body gets more used to it again. Also went on the treadmill for about 15 mins at an incline of 8.
    Keep up the great work everyone!

    Too be honest these last few days were horrible and I didn't get to do the workout- I did do some great brisk walks but between the new baby and my bigger feet (couldn't fit my prepregnancy workout sneakers!) I didn't make it. I'm planning on starting tomorrow for myself but I understand if you remove me.

    2 Days down, 28 to go! I feel great, though I have some (unrelated) shin splints right now. I also did some push ups with my toddler on my back, as she all but skipped nap today... Let's just say that I'm never trying that again. LOL
    Only thing is, I am using 2.5kg weights (5.5lbs) and on a few of the moves I can't keep it up right to the end and have to put them down. Also, years and years ago I broke my wrist pretty badly and it gets pretty achy if I have to carry heavy stuff and right now I'm getting some pain in it, even just typing. Any advice on what I should do
    Oh, my gosh. I'm using 5 lb handweights, and some of those moves, specifially the side lunges with lifts, KILL. I would definitely step down the weight if I had some wrist damage! Find a lighter can out of the pantry, for sure!

    Shin splints?? Could you tell me more about them?? I am afraid that I may have them, but I don't know for sure if it would be that, or muscles?? My shin... area was FINE for the first 4-5 days, but then yesterday they started to hurt really bad. But it could just be muscles?? I don't know... They feel fine ish when working out, but after, they're killer. :/

    Can anyone shed some light?
    mine are from running, but they are exascerbated with all the jumping in the shred... I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I am going to keep up with the shred, follow my run plan tonight, and take a day or two off from jogging starting tomorrow. I ordered some 5 finger shies after trying out a pair the other day, and finding that they really helped my shins. I might not run again until I get mine, and start slow, at that.
    I do the shred without shoes, anyway.

    Anyway, I don't have an official dX, I just say shin splints because my shins hurt! It's happened to me a few times, many times when I've started running like this. I do a lot of extra stretching, in fact yoga is my usual big thing; I think for me the shoe-switch might be what helps.
