Because I have a huge fear of hissing geese but I want to exercise I decided to by Jillian's 30 Day Shred. I tried it for the first time yesterday & all you need are arm weights, a little floor space, and 20 minutes.
Seriously, it's only 20 minutes. EVERYONE has 20 minutes they can spend towards doing something good for their body.
So here's my review: the exercises are simple (but they hurt). She combines simple moves such as lunges with bicep curls. I am a huge fan of doing 2 exercises at once and so is Jillian. All about the multitasking... plus you burn more calories by engaging 2 muscle groups.
Honestly, I was done with the video and thought it wasn't that hard. Yes, my arms were dying but I also haven't exercised in months. All in all, it went by so quickly that I figured there was no way it worked.

WRONG! I am ridiculously sore today. (mainly arms but legs too) It goes by so fast & you're so busy you dont even realize you are using muscles you didnt even know existed!
Here's her method: 3, 2, 1. 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs. We do these steps 3x and you're done! Go you! I also like that this video has 3 different levels so you can progress at your own speed but you are able to switch it up so you won't plateau.
I am going to try to do this DVD 3 days a week a long with walking or running (not likely) the other days. Let's see if the 30 day shred really works :)
