I've been looking to mix up my workouts lately and if someone tells me I can get a well-rounded workout in only 25 minutes complete with cardio, weights and abs -- I'm in.
With 4.5 stars and almost 3,000 positive reviews on Amazon -- I decided to go with the ripped and frightening Jillian Michaels as my new personal trainer.
I have to admit...I'm kind of loving it. It's a quick workout that is nonstop and gets right to it. Broken up into three levels that progress with intensity -- each level follows a 3-2-1 interval system that combines strength, cardio and abs to burn calories and shred fat. It takes such a small amount of time and I'm definitely sore the next day. That means something is working!!
All you need is a mat and some 3-5 lb. weights.
**Black cat is optional.**
Try level 1 for yourself:
I got this video from Santa for Christmas and still haven't cracked the cellophane. I should try it out!
ReplyDeleteAngella!!! You must pop this DVD in!!! Can't wait to hear what you think about it!
DeleteI did the 30 Day Shred in grad school and LOVED it... perhaps I need to get back that? (Who am I kidding... I DEFINITELY need to get back to that.)
ReplyDeleteUm IF ONLY we could do this workout together. I have a feeling I would wet my workout pants (let's be serious...if you're doing this in the privacy of your home, who says you even need pants?? WHAT!?!? I said it).
DeleteHey Kathleen! I just read your post on Cassie's blog and had to stop by to check out your Shred review. I have been planning to try it and you just gave me the extra motivation I needed, so thank you! Oh and I have a black cat, too! Great workout buddy haha!
