JM 30 day shred HELP
Hey all. I'm on level 1, day 7 of 30 day shred. I do the workouts 4 days a week, 2 cardio days, and 1 rest day. When I first started I felt immensely sore, which I was happy about. I knew I was gaining muscle. Now though I don't feel anything. Does not being sore mean that I'm not building muscle?
