Day 1 of 30 Day Shred And I'm Soooo Sore...

Having been there I'd say try and get it done tonight, it will stop you seizing up completely. Just give as much as you can, you'll feel better for it x I'm starting a shred group tomorrow please come and join us and we can talk aches,pains and motivate each other as we go along! x

I'll offer a different opinion - if you are so sore that you are moaning and groaning when you get up from a chair (or to sit down) and just moving about hurts like crazy, you might want to take a day off, or even two. I can say that my first day of 30DS left me more sore than I have ever been in my life - more than any first sports practice back in school, more than my first day spelunking when I became a tour guide in a cave - I was miserable! I took three days off before I did the next workout.

You do want to try to stretch the muscles, that does help, and if you really feel you can do the workout, go for it. But if you are super sore, you might want to give your muscles at least a day to heal.

^^this^^ but i have heard to stick with it as well and it eases up on the 3-4th. Day! I am allabout resting really sore muscles tho! To avoid injurey!

Day 2-3 was worse then 1. Sorry but I wanted to be honest.

I just started her 30 day shred, I did it for the first time yesterday and I did it today. . The one thing I cant do are the push ups. I can sort of do them but I dont think anyone would consider it a push up lol. Sometimes when doing the jumping jacks i wanna die. I like how it goes by fast and how she tells you why your doing the moves your doing.

I honestly thought I was going to be more sore than I was today, my shoulders were soar, probably from trying to do the push ups. That almost worries me bc everyone else says they were so soar the next day. Maybe Im not doing it right? I think I am. I only started working out a month ago. I've been doing Zumba and strength training 6 days a week. i wanted to mix up my workout regimen so that's why I started the 30 day shred. Im a little scared to go on to level 2 and I probably wont for at least a week.

I would also say, do it!! It is a tough programme but you can modify your moves and the results are excellent1

I know i wasnt hardly sore either, and everyone else talks about how they r. All i did before was bike riding. But i only did what i could. I didnt try to kill myself but push myself as much as i could. The level 2 hurt my shoulders. Now the new kickboxing one has me sore for days! But i still worked out the next day! Not the same workout tho.... Love her videos!

Someone on here said to do a little cardio before doing the DVD and it helps you get through it. I've done 20 minutes on the treadmill immediately before popping in the DVD for the past 2 days and I notice a huge difference. Day 2-3 were the absolute worst days for me! I'm on Day 15 now and I'm still sore in some spots but not nearly like back then.
Hang in there! It's so worth it... but listen to your body. If you feel like you've injured yourself or are too sore to go on, then rest your body for a couple of days. Like Jillian says "No injuries please!" LOL

Oh and by the way....your baby is adorable!

I can't do damn pushups either, but then, I never could. I do 'girl' pushups or inclines. I also wasn't sore as some ppl claim. I figured I'm just more flexible or something but also on the first few days I wasn't putting in maximum, was focusing more on learning the moves & form. I didn't have soreness til I blew out my knee doing #%% jumping jacks.
Lesson: old ladies should wear knee braces before they tackle Jillian
