Jillian Michaels is NO joke!


I dont know how many of you are familiar with Jillian Michaels. She is one of the trainers on The Biggest Loser. If you've been under a rock, The Biggest Loser is a reality show where severely obese individuals lose a ton of weight. When I use to watch the show I was always amazed by the weight loss. Now I see how they lost it

Man Jillian Michaels is NO joke. I was commenting on facebook that the workouts were only 20 minutes....how much damage can she do in 20 minutes????? I got my answer ...... A LOT! I started out with level 1 and even then I followed the young lady in green ..... the "easy" version .... yeah right.

Jillian has you doing 3 minutes of strength training, 2 minutes of cardio and 1 minute of ab work. I never imagined I'd enjoy doing crunches, sit ups and ab work the most LOL Within that time frame your body is really worked. I mean things were aching on me ..... and I had just completed 2 hip hop ab workouts.

My least favorite are the strength exercises. I'm not a strength girl. However I have been using 2 lb weights all summer so while these exercises were my least favorite, I did them better. The cardio was my weak area. While I loved jumping jacks as a kid, my size D breasts and jumping jacks do not get along. My favorite were the ab exercises. Not only were they quick(ONE minute) they were effective. My tummy still HURTS!

So day one of the 30 day shred is done. I can see myself being on level 1, green girl for the entire 30 days. I'm just being real. If level 1 is like this, imagine level 2..... and I dont even want to think about level 3. Child please.

A shower, dinner and 5 miles await me!
