May Challenge: JM RIT

I seriously shrieked with excitement when I had checked the mail and my new Jillian Michaels DVD had come in.

Eeeek! I don’t think it’s a big secret that I love Jillian Michaels. I have tons of her DVD’s:

• 30 Day Shred
• No More Trouble Zones
• Yoga Meltdown
• Six Day Six Pack
• Banish Fat Boost Metabolism
• Shred it with Weights
• and now Ripped in 30

 

Ok… I didn’t realize I was that obsessed dedicated to JM videos until I just listed all those…

30 Day Shred is my absolute favorite of her videos which is why I was so excited about the new Ripped in 30. It shares the same concept of the 30 Day Shred which is the 3-2-1 interval system. Each DVD consisted of 3 circuits of: 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs. I also love that the workout is only about 25 minutes long from warm up to cool down so it’s d0-able on just about any given day.

I’d never felt stronger or better about my body as when I was avidly doing the 30 Day Shred. I’m hoping to find the same kind of results with Ripped in 30. I have a goal in mind to do the video 4 times a week each week in May progressing one level each week (there are four). Jillian recommends her workouts 5-6 times a week, but I am also focusing on running about 4 times a week.

I’m not going to get all crazy and take measurements because I’m not looking to loose any weight, I’d just like to tone up a little and feel stronger. I can’t wait to see what the DVD has in store! I did the DVD for the first time Sunday and then again yesterday and my hamstrings have been a’burnin

Would anyone like to join me in the challenge with their favorite DVD/ strength training? Have you tried any of Jillian Michaels workout videos?
