30-Day Shred

... just add coffee, on March 11, 2013 at 7:05 PM Posted in Fitness and Health 0 13

Has anyone had success with Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred DVD? I just got it today and did the first workout. My legs are super weak and shaky still!

I needed something to get me into working out because I absolutely HATE to work out. It's complete and total torture for me and I'd rather do just about anything else.

But, I'd like to lose more weight and get in shape before our wedding.

I lost 60 pounds on weight watchers a few years back with no exercise - and then this past year, I gained about 10 pounds back. I'm having a really REALLY hard time sticking to the weight watchers plan this time around so I need to get some working out in there. But, OMG. I hate it.

They say the hardest part is the first day. But for me, the hardest part is knowing that I have to KEEP doing it.

    I'm a huge JM fan. She does give you a great workout, and it's only 20 minutes so no excuses. But I love doing a few of her DVDs because I get bored. Just stick with it, it takes time for a habit to form.

    I was in really good shape up until about college... then I developed really severe lower back problems. So, working out is hard for me. It's painful - and not just because I can "feel the burn" - but because if I'm not careful, I'll throw my back out and be out of commission for days.

    I'm hoping that because this is just 20 minutes a day, it will atleast help me get into a routine. I'd been trying to work out on my own with NO results and I could never stick to it.

    Fingers crossed I can stick to this!

    Thanks ladies Smiley smile

    I never tried JM, I'm a ZUMBA Fitness gal myself. I enjoy it so much that I look forward to doing it. Heck, it's teaching me how to dance, lol. I have the Zumba Fitness DVD and I go to the Zumba Fitness classes at my local fitness center. What I hate to do is the treadmill, but my FH swears by it. So when I'm with him at the gym, I put on my earphones & run on that treadmill for 30 minutes. If you can add a little strength training to your workout it would help you. I strength train with my FH 4 times a week. I'm loving my results, good luck.

    I loved doing the 30DS, actually maybe that's what I need right now to get through this stressful last 10 days Smiley winking I was doing Insanity, but my knees were suffering big time. 30DS is a good workout, easier on the joints and you can't beat 20 minutes!

    I did JM 30 day shred and her body revolution, both are amazing and you definitely get the results as long as your diet is good. I strongly believe fitness people when they say abs are made in the kitchen
