30 Day Shred – Day 5
February 5, 2010 No CommentsToday marks my fifth day of doing the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred fitness DVD. I’ve done it every single day starting Monday and I’m already feeling a difference.
So far, I’ve lost 2 pounds. Nice! I haven’t measured myself yet. I’m leaving that for the very end of the 30 days to see how much I’ve shrunk.
Here’s a little summary of my days with the shred:
- Day 1: I could barely breathe through the cardio and had to stop frequently. Afterward, I was insanely tired for the rest of the day.
- Day 2: I was able to do more of the cardio and wasn’t tired like day 1. My arms, specifically my shoulders, ached in a good way.
- Day 3: I wasn’t nearly as achy after this workout. It seems my muscles are getting stronger and getting used to the strength exercises.
- Day 4: I woke up from 9 hours of sleep to feeling like I needed 9 more. I slept for most of the day, but took a break to go do the shred. I half-assed it in the cardio, but that’s better than nothing.
- Day 5: Was almost able to get through all of the workout without stopping today. The first section of the cardio is the worst. Jumping Jacks/Jump Rope/Jumping Jacks/Jump Rope, all without stopping in between each move. Ouch!
All of these days consisted of the Level One workout. My tentative plan is to move on to Level Two starting Day 11, but that will depend on how I’m feeling and if I think I need more time with Level One.
I’m happy with this so far, though. I haven’t skipped a day even when I wanted to. Go me!
I even got my mom doing it, too!
