30 Day Shred

Ohhh boy the 30 Day Shred with Jillian Michaels, I would love to have Jillian Michaels as my personal trainer just for one day because like she says she pushes you because she knows what you are capable of and what you can achieve and she pushes you and gets results.

 

In the 30 Day Shred she gives you three levels to complete in 30 days (obviously), with beginner and experienced moderations. I myself did the each level for 10 days and when I hit day 5 on that level I would push myself to do the experienced moderation.

In each level she warms you up with a 2- minute warm up, then right into the three 6 minute circuits with her 3-2-1 interval system, 3 minutes strength, 2 minutes cardio, 1 minute abs. Then to finish you workout with a 2 minute cool down. One level should last you for about 20 minutes, and in my opinion who cant fit in 20 minutes a day. The only things that you need for this workout are the DVD of course, hand weights (3,5,or 8), and a mat if you are working out on a hard surface!

Level one I found to be very difficult the first day because it being my first workout I wanted to die. Over time I progressed and it became to where I could make it through the complete level without having to take a break. That's when I knew that it was time to move to level 2. Which in my opinion seemed to be the most fun out of the 3.  It was significantly harder than level 1, but my determination kept me from shutting the DVD off. On Day 10 of that level and I could make it through the level but pushing just as hard as I did on the first day on that level it was time to progress to level 3. Level 3 I will tell you know that I didn't enjoy it at all every day I was thankful that it was getting closer to being done with that level. But yet I still got up and did it every day for 10 days. This level was progressively a little bit harder than level 2.

Over all I really enjoyed this work out DVD and I see myself coming back to this in the future. it helped to build stronger muscles and loose some inches and of course shed some pounds.
