Yeah I know , what are you doing? Well after the euphoric rush and epic crash after the MCM last year, I have decided to see if I can do it again. So Minnesota here I come this October. Training has started with me getting back into the groove of daily exercise and movement. One recommendation from a co-worker was the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. The shred consists of three workouts each increasing in intensity but the catch is that each workout is only 20 minutes long.
20 minutes of non-stop movement 3min cardio , 2 strength and 1 min abs in a set of circuits designed for maximum fat burning and muscle toning. It is very similar to something I read on my friend Steve's advice Bill Phillips Body for Life. Basically its several studies that show that 20 minutes of good hard circuit training will do just as well on fat burning as an hour of cardio.
Jillian turned me into Jell-o. I am feeling this workout all over my body. She recommends you start off with 2lb weights. I now see why. After push-ups and arm raises and bicep curls with these weights my arms and chest are feeling it. I am not uncomfortably sore but I do feel like I worked out. So while the workouts may become repetitive for 9.99 not a bad video. I plan on interspersing this with my runs and other activities to build my legs up for the run.
So to keep myself accountable ... I'll continue to document my journey.
GREAT JOB! I'm going to look for that video series next time I'm out. I have a hard time getting myself to do videos if the weather is nice (rather work out outside) but if it's raining, etc. videos are great!
