In need of a massage!

I was really sore after my first day of Jillian's 30-day Shred. I was nervous to do day 2 yesterday... wondering how I was going to feel this morning.

The consensus today? Sore shoulders, calves, and bootay.

I will put money down that the calves are sore from the jumping jacks, jumping rope, and butt kicks. I am using 3 pound weights, leaving the shoulders a bit sore just because I am not used to using them, or the pushups. And the bootay? Well, let's just say between my strengthening routine two times per day and then some of jillian's lunges/squats and such (modified to protect my knees) I am super sore! However, today's sore wasn't as bad as yesterday's. Either I am getting stronger, or adjusting to the pain.

But, it's all a good sore.

Tomorrow I have my second PT session before heading off to work. I am looking forward to what he has to say and getting some more advice and exercises to do. I am trying to be very positive with all this PT stuff and hoping that it will make me stronger and able to get back to running form again!

Hey, a good sore is nothing to complain about!

Marlene said...

From what I've heard about that workout, I am not surprised your muscles are so sore. You must have done something right!

Good luck with PT.

I could barely move the day after I did Jillian's Shred. It went away after Day 3...maybe because I stopped doing the Shred. But I promise, one of these days I'll start the Shred again and finish all 30 days!

Good job!

Man Jillian is getting some major love from blogland lately. I may pick her routine up after my half because I don't want her impact stuff screwing with my knees.

you know we all think the bootay soreness is from spanking, or some other man-influence. you can't lie to us like that. hang in there, good sore is a good thing!

Glad you are taking care of that knee. Great workout!

Wes said...

P90X kicked my arse the first two weeks. I had never been that sore! Stick with it. It will get better!

You are really workin' it girl! Keep it up and I am sure that you wont be sore long.

Unknown said...

Keep that up and you'll be one hot chick come short season! :) (not that you aren't hot already!)

Jillian is the devil but she gets results. I have issues with the knees too but I just modify the lunges and squats.

Hope you are healing well. I'm in the same boat.
