The 30 Day Shred - Week 1

Week 1 (level 1) started yesterday for our 30 Day Shred challenge. OK, let me tell you how SORE I am, lol. Just a few minutes after completing the workout, I was so sore I had to find assistance with the walls to walk down the stairs...bad part is that my bedroom is on the 3rd floor. YIKES!

So here is what I think about the dvd... I found the first level to be quite challenging. After completing the first round of level 1, I was saying to myself, "this is it" (not confusing it with MJ's new song title) but then I realized that there were two more rounds. Oh my. Jillian really is good. Very little chit chat and I believe a decent description of every move.

I would actually say this is a good workout in comparison to the p90x. It isn't as intense but I think it was perfect for any woman to participate and get the results they require. Her combination of Strength, Cardio and Abs is perfect for shocking the body into shaping up. The one thing I can't recall is whether we had a good amount of stretching of the lower body before starting the program, which I know I desperately needed. Sadly though, I am looking forward to working out today.

So here are my beginning stats for the week:

1. Starting weight -- 160 (Ouch!)
2. Current weight -- 160
3. Goal weight -- 130
4. What level you're doing -- Level 1

I do not have the following stats as I must have packed up my measuring tape for the move. I will have these results next week.

5. Bust measurements
6. Waist measurements
7. Hips measurements
8. Thigh measurements (widest part of the thigh)

So how did you all do?

Good luck with the rest of the week. Remember that you can do it!

My wedding has come and gone but it doesn't mean that I can't try to get into shape. I severely lack motivation but after months of hearing about the wonderful Bees @ the Wedding Bee blogging about their experience, I thought that it is about time I give something a try. So now I am going to be the next victim (er...challenger) to Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred.

If you are fed up with the way you look or are looking for a different routine, come join us. You can follow along and let us know and we'll do a roll call every week.
