Fitness Friday: 30 Day Shred Review



Over the past few months I have really been enjoying working out (crazy, I know!). One of my inspirations has been Jillian Michaels, I love her no-excuses attitude and how encouraging she is to just keep going even when you feel like you are going to die! The 30 Day Shred DVD has been in my workout rotation for about 6 months and has stayed challenging. There are 3 levels (about 24 minutes each) beginning with the easier moves to build more endurance/stamina and then progressing to a very challenging Level 3 workout. Each level has a warm-up and cool down with 3 circuits of 3 minutes of strength training, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs. I have done each level numerous times and continue to put this workout DVD into my rotation, and I still feel like I am getting a great workout each time. I haven't been trying to loose any weight, just trying to get more toned and I have seen an improvement! I can actually see some ab definition, my legs are more muscular than fat, and I have some pretty nice tricep muscles! Haha! I would definitely recommend adding this to your exercise DVD collection!

*When I started this workout I was using 2 pound weights and have since switched to 3 pound weights, the added pound surprisingly makes the workout more challenging!
