I've been a fan of Jillian Michaels for a very long time, and I've purchased several of her DVDs. However, I've never been able to finish one of her workouts. I'm just not in good enough shape. I've lost 15lbs in two months (from 200lbs to 185), and I've decided to try out her Beginner Shred workout. The first round is up for free on YouTube. I tried it today, and for a 20 minute workout, I really felt it!
My goal is to complete 30 days of Beginner Shred and then progress to one of her other DVDs. Would anyone like to join me?

    I think I'm gonna start day 1 today. Just start over since I missed 3 days. I know it says to only work out 5 days and take 2 days off.

    I finished Day 2, and I definitely felt it! I get so frustrated trying to do a push up.

    Well I ended up buying the dvd and started yesterday when it arrived. For being only 20 minutes it truly worked up a sweat for me.

    The push ups are my worst. I feel like such a jerk that because I can't do them! I'm getting better, though.

    I'm doing the tricep dips, but I'm not sure that my form is great. I'll keep trying.

    The Shred is going well. Thank u for asking. You?? I modify a few of the exercises but at least I finish the 20 minutes. Idk if its the Shred or what but weight has been dropping quicker. Maybe just coming off a plateau. It is a beautifully designed workout. I think every muscle group gets attention. I like it!! Feel stronger even if its only psychological. Haha

    I really like the workout, too. I always feel slightly on the edge of not being able to continue, but I can continue. It feels a lot better to finish a workout like that, rather than giving up like I did when I first tried 30 Day Shred. To be fair, I shouldn't have tried to do 30DS without ever having worked out before!
    I still struggle with push ups, but I'm getting better.
    I'm curious what fresh beatings I'm going to face in phase 2!
