What a great feeling! While I cursed and swore at the TV...ok, sometimes at Jillian ON my TV, I really have enjoyed the 30 Day Slimdown.
Did I really say that? Me? I actually enjoyed exercise?
Yes.
I enjoy how strong I feel. I enjoy how alert and energetic I feel. And I enjoy being able to eat the treats I enjoy without as much worry about their effects on my weight.
The funny thing is - Jillian has a way of brainwashing you. I started out in summer thinking that The Shred was HARD! And while it is, I now see Level 1 of The 30 Day Shred as a day off. Kind of scary if you ask me...
The first two weeks of Exercise TV's 30 Day Slimdown were really quite easy.
Day 1: 30 Day Shred: Level 1
Day 2: 30 Day Shred: Level 1
Day 3: No More Trouble Zones
Day 4: 30 Day Shred: Level 1
Day 6: Quick Trouble Zones
Day 7: REST
Day 8: 30 Day Shred: Level 1
Day 9: 30 Day Shred: Level 2
Day 10: Quick Trouble Zones
Day 11: 30 Day Shred: Level 2
Day 12: Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism
Day 13: No More Trouble Zones
Day 14: REST
Mind you, I finished the second week feeling like I had this thing conquered. And then I took a look at what the next two weeks had in store...how silly I had been to think my ride would just coast along til the end.
Day 15: 30 Day Shred: Level 1 AND Quick Trouble Zones
Day 16: 30 Day Shred: Level 2
Day 17: No More Trouble Zones
Day 18: 30 Day Shred: Level 1 AND 30 Day Shred: Level 2
Day 19: No More Trouble Zones
Day 20: Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism
Day 21: REST
Day 22: 30 Day Shred: Level 2 AND 30 Day Shred: Level 1
Day 23: Quick Trouble Zones
Day 24: Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism
Day 25: Quick Trouble Zones AND 30 Day Shred: Level 2
Day 26: REST
And then I saw this...
Day 27: No More Trouble Zones AND 30 Day Shred: Level 1
Yes, you read that right. Basically an hour and a half of Jillian! I have a whole new appreciation for the Biggest Loser competitors!
Day 28: Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism AND Quick Trouble Zones
Day 29: 30 Day Shred: Level 2 and 30 Day Shred: Level 1
Day 30: No More Trouble Zones
I did it and feel amazing! I worked out a new plan for incorporating each of the workouts in the 30 Day Slimdown. Head on over and check it out!

I love Jillian! I work out to her videos on TV under the biggest loser. She kicks my BUTT! :) I enjoy her workouts so much! Thanks for posting this! :)
Thanks for stopping in! Her workouts are awesome! I took what I learned from the 30 day slim down and made a few weekly workouts here. Join on in if you can!

It's great motivation to see other moms ready to workout with Jillian every day. I use the workout plans that you came up with more often than hers. Your body adapts to 30 Day Slimdown after a while, so it's good to have the challenging options. Thanks!
