That's right I said it.... I've been tackling her 30 Day Shred DVD the past couple weeks (and only seriously in the last week), but let me just tell you... She is a B.
Oh sure you think 20 minutes won't kill you. You can do anything for 20 minutes. But let's get real my friends. It's a non stop 20 minutes (that statement alone makes me feel like a lazy fatty....) that honestly has left me pouring sweat after each segment. And I hate sweating. As in I really, truly, painfully dislike sweating. But I digress -- mostly, it's just uber challenging. The biggest pain I have are my calves. It's shocking how much pain I'm in after only 2 minutes of alternating jumping jacks and "jump rope." The first 2 or 3 days I had trouble walking up & down my stairs! Let alone the impact on my running.
All this aside, I can say that I can see a little change in myself. Miniscule change -- but hell, I'll take it!
I even wrote out a pre-planned calendar of workouts for the month. Each day I get a sticker if I did my work out...yes, I realize how juvenile that sounds but you'd be surprised how flippin' motivating a tiny little sticker can be! I want that sticker each day and I'll push myself thru a brutal 20min Jillian Michaels DVD, a run, Zumba, or anything else just to get that sticker!
How you do approach work outs? Pre-plan? Go with the flow? Do you plan out any rewards for yourself? Like a pedicure or massage?
Happy Friday!

Keep at it! You will be so proud to see a filled calender of stickers at the month's end :)
ReplyDeleteI always want to kick her in the face because of her voice. I hate her tone and the look she gives me while I am trying my hardest. I really should give it a go again.
ReplyDeleteGood job on keeping up with it. You should reward yourself with a smoothie or a massage but a mani/pedi sounds great.
the 30ds is a good program; it's what i used to condition my body for insanity. just stick with it; the pain just means that your body is changing for the better.
