Ok, so I’ve never been a video-type girl when it comes to workouts, but I read great reviews about Jillian Michaels and this 30 Day Shred deal, so we’ll see.
I just finished Day 2 today and I never thought a 20 minute workout would make me feel like this—this girl kicks your butt through 3 sets of circuit training that consists of 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs per set. They’re all bootcamp-style drills that I’m used to from high school volleyball practice years ago, and because it’s only 20 minutes, each drill uses your whole entire body, even when you think you’re just working certain areas. She knows just which exercises to do one after the other to make your heart rate go up while you’re putting tension on your muscles (cardio + strength combined). It’s definitely about 20 minutes of endurance without all the extra “oh-look-aren’t-you-having-so-much-fun” motivation talk that I hate about videos. It’ll be a while til I move on to Level 3 of 3.
So…I like her. She’s tough and she cuts the cheesy bs you don’t want to hear. Hopefully I can squeeze in some runs in the morning. There’s only 1 run on my Nike+ipod account :/
