To go along with my training for the half marathon in April, I bought a few new exercise DVDs. And they are all Jillian Michaels. I have to tell you that I LOVE the girl. I'm just starting on my third week with the first DVD that I've tried: "30 Day Shred". I had been doing another circuit training DVD on and off for about the last year and I thought that I was in pretty good shape... well that thought came to a screeching halt after I was 7 minutes into the 20 minute routine with Jillian. No rest, no sympathy, no nonsense... and I really love the way that it makes me feel to finish one of these short workouts. I'm panting and grunting to get through it (especially the last circuit with strength), but in 2 weeks I can already tell a difference in my legs (I'm sure that the running I'm doing is also helping) and it is VERY exciting. There are three levels in the workout, and I'm still on Level 1, so I think that I will be a little longer than 30 days until I am "shredded". I don't know if I will ever feel like I am ready to go to the next level, but I'm going to keep working at it. Maybe I'll just try it one day and see how hard it is. I can always go back down to Level 1, right?Anyway, I just wanted to post about how much I love my new DVD. I haven't done any of the other ones yet, but I'm sure that I will like them too. Jillian is my new personal trainer and I love it! One day I will have a stomach that looks like hers! At least, that's my goal.
UPDATE: I tried Level 2 this morning. It is a pretty big jump and is INTENSE but I made it through and now that I'm away from it, I really liked it. I struggled but didn't quit and I feel great now!
