Soooooo…I started changing things up: First, I went back and did level 1 a few days (although easier, it was still a tough workout and I felt that it was good to incorporate some other exercises and use some different muscle groups in different ways).
Level 2 was difficult enough that I can’t say I ever really felt “ready” to progress to level 3 throughout my 30 days…On the other hand, I CAN say I got very sick of doing the same exact workout every single day. Accordingly, I started out with the level 1 video and did it for 6 days the first week and then about 3 days the second week before I felt ready to progress to level 2. Jillian Michael’s suggests that you start with workout 1, progress to workout 2 when you feel you are ready, and then on to workout 3.
Yes, I know that sort of seems contradictory…but if you try it I think you’ll know what I mean: Jillian Michael’s provides low impact modifications for several of the exercises so that you don’t over-exert yourself or your joints…but she keeps you moving your whole body until you are exhausted.Įach of the three workouts on the DVD gets progressively more difficult. It was a very good workout program to sort of ease into exercising while also really pushing yourself. Each workout follows an interval system that includes 3 circuits of 3 minutes of strength training, 2 minutes of cardio exercise, and then 1 minute of ab work…plus a warm up and cool down. The DVD contains three 20-minute workouts (that are actually over 25 minutes long because of the transition time between exercises). If you are looking for a good work-out program/video series, here are my thoughts on Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred: This was #82 on my list of 101 things to do in 1001 Days…and the first item to be completed 🙂 I recently completed 30 Days of Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred Workout Program.
