For those participating you know we’re nearly half way through our TAGG 30-day Shred video workout program with the she-don’t-mess-around Jillian Michaels. Want to start now?? DO IT! Get Shred here for less than $9.
Here’s a pic of me on day one (pardon the awful lighting/shadow/flash; we Shred at 9 pm so that’s when this photo was taken! Dreadful photog form, I know).
I started on day two since I was still crazy sick on Feb. 1 and I took off one night three days ago, so exhausted I couldn’t move. The other days I’ve been tired but pushed through, getting motivation from my husband who is Shredding with me! How have you pushed through with this workout or another one you’re managing on your own? I know having to report to you ladies keeps me on track.
And, of course, a few random thoughts about the Shred:
- I kind of like the hip circles that Jillian feels awkward doing. Not weird, right?
- My muscles are totally feeling — and looking — stronger. I can see the difference in my abs and quads.
- I could probably push it out a bit harder during cardio.
- Starting with mini two lb. weights was a good decision, though I’m ready to amp it up.
- If Jillian Michael’s says “Ok, Hit it,” one more time….
- Goal is to do 10 regular push ups (I still do the girly, knees-on-the-ground, ones.)
- Be aware of your abs and muscles all day long. Give a squeeze whenever you can or tuck in/hold in your ab muscles so they don’t start to pooch out. It makes a huge difference… whether you’re working out or not.
For those of you who promised me you were starting the workout (ahem, Leanna, Kimberly, Trish, Jennifer, Alicia, Nicole, Lia, Emily, Ann, Rebecca, Karli, Carrie, Suzell and Jennifer, just to name a few), I want to hear from you here in the comments or you can always shoot me an email. Totally proud of us!
