I've heard nothing but fabulous things about Jillian Michael's 30-Day Shre DVD and by "fabulous things" I mean hateful bad not-for-children's-ears types of things and that only made me more interested in trying this workout. I also bought it because I had a giftcard and because I had heard the workouts were only twenty minutes. TWENTY MINUTES! I can DO twenty minutes.
After my first attempt at Level 1 I was in pain, dude! PAIN. My legs were burning like they haven't in years. I don't even recall being that sore after I finished my first AIDS Ride. Or my second AIDS Ride. It hurt and I was a sweaty mess on the floor. On the floor. Inhaling dog hair and pubis and not caring because I was THAT sore. Did I mention it kicked my ass.
Jillian definitely earned my respect and I went back for a second beating and then a third and now it's been about three weeks and I moved on to Level 2 just last weekend. I've done Level 2 twice now and it is hard! OHMYGOD. Level 1 was more fun and I felt better able to do the exercises but Level 2 is where I need to be to keep getting results. I really do feel stronger and there is a slight, ever so slight oblique emerging from behind my ribs and my legs are looking rather awesome I might add and I'm also fitting into about 95% of my pre-pregnancy clothes and I'm 1.5 pounds away from my first weight loss goal.
A few gals over on
Twitter mentioned doing the 30-Day Shred together, you know for
support, when we fall over and cannot breathe the urge to Twitter-away
our pain will pull us off the floor in a collective urge to keep the
Interwebz informed of our struggles accomplishments.
Foodmomiac started today and I am on-board too.
30 days. One month. I can do this!
Because I'm going to Florida and I want to wear this.
