Day 2 of the 30-Day Shred

_Christine_

My new favorite workout!

The other day I pulled out several of my old workout DVDs and tried to work out to them. Within minutes I was shutting them off. It took me years, but I finally realized I DON’T LIKE TO DANCE! I know, I know, a girl supposed to love to dance. But I don't. I mean, I don't mind a little toe tappin' and head bobbin', but full on gyrations and hip thrusts... no thanks. (I'll save that for DH.)

What I want in a work out is to feel powerful, not pretty.

It’s only day two, but I’m hooked. The moment Jillian said the hip rolls made her feel silly… I was in. From now on if a DVD even mentions moves such as The Grapevine or tells me to ‘do it with attitude’… I’m tossin’ it!! Mama needs to be able to keep up with an active 7-year old and 21-month old twins, not break out the latest pop star moves.

I started yesterday too and LOVED when she said that the knees and hip rolls made her feel like an idiot. I can't wait to get home and do day 2! So excited to see what I'm looking like in 30 days ) Good luck with it!

I just finished day 2 as well! I LOVE that it's only 20 mins. I hit the 14 minute mark and feel like I wanna die. but then I think... I've already made it 2/3 of the way haha Congratulations! maybe we can hold each other accountable.

I started Jillian Michaels 30 in January and love it. I rotate it now with her Shred it w/weights (which is a kettlebell workout) SO GREAT. I just purchased Ripped in 30 but haven't tried it yet. I am not super coordinated so those other type of workouts never appealed to me. I love to dance but on my own terms, I can't follow along with Zumba or whatever the latest fad is. Jillian is no nonsense, gets me sweating and combines strenght and cardio in less than 30 min. What more can a working mom ask for! Good luck with your goal!!

I agree!!

I love Jillian and the 30 day shred. Another great Jillian work out is her Yoga Meltdown doing that work out really makes me feel strong.

I'm adding them all to my 'must have DVD' list.

I just finished day 3! Just so everybody knows there's a group of us that just started this week. So if you need support or someone to hold you accountable there's a whole bunch of us right over here

One of the things I love best about Jillian's dvds is that they aren't expensive. I can't imagine how much money some people pour in to programs, only to discover that they can't do it, or don't really like it. At less than $10 per workout, I don't feel quite so awful if I don't love it.

I fell off the wagon over the weekend (body was too sore from yoga/pilates/etc) but completed day 4 & 5. Today will be day 6 if I have enough energy after coming back from Zumba class & the 80-min walk to/from the gym.
