Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred: DAY 1!

Today was the first day of my adventure through "Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred" Workout Video. Let me tell you, it was a WORKOUT! I began the DVD at 5:00pm, and right now (3 hours later) I am already feeling the burn. YES!!

I really think Im going to like this workout video. It's been hard for me to find a video in the past that is not extremely long, that is enjoyable while allowing me burn calories and something that is easy to do with limited space, time and equipment.

"30 Day Shred" is a Circuit workout which rotates short intervals of strength training, cardio activity and abs. It only requires a small amount of space, enough space for activities such as push ups, crunches, and jumping jacks. I live on the 2nd floor of an apartment building and it's been hard to use a workout video in the past due to the amount of jumping that would more than likely disrupt my neighbors below. However, this video provides some modifications as well as it requires a small amount of heavy jumping.

I really am excited about the next 30 + days of my workout. I will be taking a few days off from my workout video due to being out of town for the holiday season. However, my target goal is to finish Day 30 on DECEMBER 20, 2009.

By this time, my goal is to be in a smaller pant size and to just feel better about myself! Stay tuned for daily updates!
