********************************************* I started my workout program today! I bought a DVD circuit training workout by Jillian Michaels called 30 Day Shred. She is the tough female trainer on "The Biggest Loser". Man is she ever! I'm on level 1, the beginners level and it kicked my butt!! I couldn't even keep up with it. Man! I'm an in worse shape than I thought!! But...you have start somewhere. I figure after a week or so I might be able to actually do the beginner level the way they do it without adding too many modifications to make a littler easier, but still get something out of it.
Jumping jacks are hard!! I've always hated them, but they are easier than lunges. I bought another Biggest Loser DVD a while back, this one by Bob Green. I liked it, but it was full of lunges that I just couldn't do. My poor knees just can't handle a lot of lunges. Why is it two exercises I hate the most (lunges and jumping jacks) do the most for you?? I guess the same reason Broccoli tastes like crap compared to a doughnut. Oh well.
This DVD promises that you'll lose up to 30lbs in a month and up to 3 sizes if you follow it religiously. I'm guessing that since I've had to make so many modifications initially just to get through the workout without killing myself that it will probably take me a little bit longer to get there. Here's hoping!!
ALSO, Happy 43rd Wedding Anniversary to my Parents today!! :)
That's funny cause I don't mind the jumping jacks or lunges, its all the rest of the stuff I can't stand.
ReplyDeleteI'll take jumping jacks AND lunges...right now, I hate RUNNING! I joined the seattle weightloss boot camp, and today is day 3. OMG I think my legs are waging war on me...
ReplyDeleteI love jumping jacks and lunges....but my body parts don't. You know what I and my body both seriously love? Eliptical trainers. LOVE THEM! Maes me back happy, my knees happy and my happy....cause I'm not sitting on my butt and feeling like a pathetic loser! :)
