Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
Started Level 2 yesterday and oh boy it is SOOO hard for me!
Allllll those plank positions drove me nuts... I was sweating like anything at the end.
Hopefully it will get better gradually, just like Level 1
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
I tried it for the first time yesterday. O dear God! I did extra warm up and cool down. But today, I wasn't able to sit or walk. I have been in pain all day. I am taking a couple days off. Well, until I get myself proper shoes for my flat feet.

Hi Amoureux de la vie](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/members/amoureux-de-la-vie.html)](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/profile.php?do=addlist&userlist=buddy&u=109353)!
It happened to me too… I was hobbling around for the first few days of starting Level 1.
But I kept on doing it through the pain and it got much much better by the 4th day…but before that i thought i was going to DIE!
Hang in there and don’t give up, it gets easier and less painful 
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
^Thanks myries. What was the pain like for you? Where did it hurt and all?
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
Well, **Amoureux](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/members/amoureux-de-la-vie.html), **I couldn’t walk, my legs were sooo stiff and painful. It was almost impossible to walk down the stairs… I had to hold on to the railing for dear life heehehehe
My arms were also painful and I was sooo much in pain that I couldn’t even peal an orange!
I had to take ibuprofen to get through the night.
Sooo, in a nutshell…it was HORRIBLE!!! :crying:
But, it got better gradually and by the 4th to 5th day I was much much better and the painful muscles were fine… and now I am on my 3rd day of Level 2:balley:

its no use taking time off to heal... unless you have a serious injury.. if its just burning muscles, you are meant to work through that just like JM says... i was dying on day 2... but i worked my way through the pain... didnt do the entire sets but did them still... by day 4 i was in much better shape..
if you keep giving yourself days off.. you will never get through the sore muscle phase.

welcome!
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
myries.... wow.... isnt level 2 great?! i sweat the most at this level.... all the best for the remaining of the work out! keep at it!
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
Oooh yess 
I had sweat rolling off my nose and rolling from my forehead going into my eyes today when I worked out! 
Its brutal!
What I am struggling with right now is my cravings for chocolate and junk food. 
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED

Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
^I would just be worried about all the bouncing 
. I would say definitely exercise, just keep it low key.
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
I’ve fallen off the bandwagon since the last week
My oldest got sick and had to stay home from school, then the younger one got sick, and then I got sick! 
So haven’t been able to do anything with a clingy baby
And then I had some good ol’ burger and fries. They’re sooo tempting after a week of eating good 
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
I finally did it this morning, it was a good work out! the only thing, I was afraid of all the jumping and bouncing. I live in an apartment building and oftentimes I can hear noises from other apartments upstairs and all, so i was afraid of making too much noise wiht the jumping :hinna:
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED
I’ve started the 30 day shred as well!
It’s wierd cos I’m not feeling all that painful, the first day was totally pain free, when I did it the second time it became slightly painful, mostly just the back thigh muscles. Today is my third day and I simply just did some yoga moves for stretching out at the end and I feel much better now.
Do you think it’ll work for me even though I’m not going through all that pain that you guys are going through? 
Re: JILLIAN MICHAELS 30 DAY SHRED

Well congrats dear khawa...have a happy, healthy pregnancy and a happy healthy baby :)
Do look for exercises that you can do during pregnancy and continue... you will definitely feel healthier if you do and hopefully you won't have any of those killer back aches if you keep your back and tummy muscles strong.
Good luck and keep us updated :))
