My 30 Day Shred Experience

edorice

My husband and I have completed a round of P90X and a round of Insanity. However, I’ve been getting more and more curious about other programs. People are talking a lot about Zumba and the 30 Day Shred, so I wanted to give them a try. After finishing both P90X and Insanity you tend to feel like you can move mountains. So I knew we could do 30 Day Shred. So, we rented 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels from Netflix this week. Reviewed the DVD last night and did the workout this morning.
We did levels 1,2, and 3 back to back this morning. It was a very solid workout. She does a lot of upper, middle, lower body workouts. Compound moves like shoulder presses while you're squating. I burned over 1200 calories in 80 minutes. I burned 363 calories at the end of level 1, a total of 791 calories by the end of level 2. Some of the moves are moves done in P90X and Insanity. Such as Superman, a lot of plank work, side planks, deep Mary Katherine's, and some new ab moves. My shoulders were burning. I think I'll buy the DVD. I figure our daughters can do levels 1 and 2 since they've done Power 90. When I do it again I'll just do level 2 and 3 together for a 40 minute workout. I’m looking forward to adding the program to our workout DVD library.
I’d also like to mention that Jillian talks about some of the reasons why we were working out. During the workout she’s talking about the jeans or swimsuit we want to fit. She says to REMEMBER why we got the DVD in the first place. She was very good at motivating throughout the workouts. I recommend it!!!
