I did the shred last year in January and completed it and I am trying it again now. I am on day 3 and my calves hurt so bad. I know it is probably a good thing but I can barely go up and down the stairs.
Does anyone know of anything that helps make sore muscles feel better? Should I just keep going today with the shred? Or take a break. I am worried that if I skip a day that I won't get back into it.
Any thoughts appreciated!
Re: Sore muscle help.
ditto the others
push through your workout, drink lots of water, try using a foam roller
Epsom salt bath? Hot springs? These are great for recovery. May also be worth noticing your diet and if you're fueling your recovery.
I'm not sure where to weigh in on rest versus maintaining your routine. Both are valid comments, and only you can tell if your muscles need more rest to recover or if you're just adjusting to the workout.
Shred, huh? Sounds interesting. OP, would love to hear a little more about it if/when you post again.
i agree. WATER, WATER, WATER!
