Today is day 7 of my journey through Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred. I have been doing this workout for 1 week straight!! Yay! I've never done anything like this before.
This really is such a great work out. The first couple of days I thought I was going to die from my legs hurting so badly. Just ask my students. I would moan every time I got up from my chair. Then on Friday I had a hard time keeping up with my students as we were walking to the computer lab. I felt a little pathetic as I was walking like and elderly woman. My muscles didn't know what hit them. On the 3rd day I was still sore, but not nearly as much. Today and yesterday I've felt so much better. I'm not saying the workout has gotten any easier. I'm just not as sore during the day. PTL.
I could go on and on about why I like this workout. One of the main reasons is because the exercises I'm doing aren't overly complicated. The jumping jacks and jump rope (which are probably the most well known) are what kill me the most. That is when I start yelling at Jillian. Yes, I yell at her. Often I'm telling her to hurry up and that I hate her.
One thing I want to know is how she knows when I want to give up. Can she read minds? Right when I'm ready to give up or take a break she tells me to keep going and not give up. Those are the moments when I really want to yell at her.
I think the main reason why I'm able to keep going with this workout is that I have a few people doing the same thing. I really need that accountability. I am so determined to do 30 days in a row. As for right now 7 days is a huge accomplishment. I'm looking forward to day 10, 20, and then especially 30! I'm still thinking about what my reward for myself will be when I complete the 30 days, but I'm going to make it a good one. :)
