30 Day Shred

I have been completely un-motivated lately to do any type of workout. I have a husband who works out constantly, and just a glimpse of his abs makes me extremely jealous of how "in-shape" he is. Yes, I know he kinda has to be "in-shape" but still!! :) He is constantly on me about working out and being in shape, blah blah blah. For most of my life I have been able to eat whatever I want, whenever I want and not gain a pound. My brother always warned me that he too was the same way until he hit 25... Yes, I know I have only been 25 for a few months, but the cellulite and little bit of pudge here and there is coming rather quickly! I have to be in "bathing suit form" in a month so I decided its time to get motivated!!!

I got the new Reebok shoes for Christmas that swear to work the booty a little more just by walking in them, and have never been out of the box...until Monday.



I have a few friends who have recently started doing the Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred workout.



They were telling me how sore they were the first few days, but that it only lasted for about 25 minutes and the workout was over. Time is one reason I never worked out before. With work all day and school all night, the last thing I want to do when I get home is workout. Another issue is money. I cant bring myself to spend money on a gym membership when I know its hard for me to find time to actually go. When I heard this DVD was only $9, I was sold!

The beginning of the video is a nice quick warm up to get the heart rate up. The actual workouts are in 3 circuits that last 6 minutes each. 3 minutes of Strength, 2minutes of Cardio, and 1 minute of Abs. Each circuit has different exercises for each category so you don't get bored doing the same thing over and over. Then the end is a stretching/cool down section.

I am on day 3 and YES I am very sore! They things you do don't seem (at the time) to be hard at all, but the next day you feel muscles that you didn't even know you had! Hopefully this will work and I will be bathing suit ready in no time!!
