I resolved this year to lose some weight and maybe have better more toned body. So I’ve been slacking January – eating all I want, and not caring for my body. Bad. I decided it’s time to get started before it’s too late. Because of my crazy working hours, I don’t really have time to go to the park for a run/walk. And I cannot commit myself spending hours hitting the gym because I just don’t have the time. So my last resort is workout videos.
I’ve been scouring high and low looking for the perfect video and I found it – Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I’ve read so many good reviews about it and I decided to buy it last week. Basically it’s a simple 20-minute workouts which I can easily squeeze in my schedule. It consists of 2 minutes of warm up, three 6 minutes workout circuits and 2 minutes of cool down. There are 3 levels of intensity that you can choose based on your own capabilities. What’s cool about it is that Jillian Michaels devised this 3-2-1 interval system (3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of card and 1 minute of abs) which is the best and the fastest way to get the body you want.
The first day I started this workout, I was really in a bad shape. I was panting and cursing and I paused the DVD several times for water even though I’m not supposed to. Because I’m not used to working out with hand weights, I hurt my arms real bad. I was so sore afterwards but I managed to finish the workouts. Her routines are simple and easy to follow. She also varies each routines so you don’t get bored.
So anyway, I’m coming to a week of doing it everyday and I cannot tell you how happy I am with my body. My body adapts easily to the workouts and I’m starting to see changes. My arms are definitely toner than before and I can feel my body changing. I feel much more energetic and I’m not panting anymore like I did on my Day 1. I actually look forward each day to my workout time. I’m still in Level 1 intensity but I’m sure I’ll move up to Level 2 anytime soon. So in conclusion, I am definitely recommend this DVD to everyone. It’s a money well spent.
