I started the day before yesterday with level 1. This video works a bit differently as there are only 2 levels and the workout is pretty basic - do the routine slowly for the first 20 mins then do it all over again at half the speed. It's not easy, but then again it's Jillian Michaels. If I wanted easy, I would go back to The Firm's "Wave" which was fun, but offered results at a glacial pace. Oh, and another thing - working out first thing in the morning is HARD - 6am is very early.
As far as this years health history goes, I've lost 15 pounds since last summer, kept them off, and toned up quite a bit - particularly my legs. But then again a steady regimen of running longer distances will do that. So, my goal for this summer (if I can actually get up the motivation after this very difficult year of school), is to continue running and add in my time with Jillian. At this point I am aiming to workout every 5 out of 7 days.
Maybe by this time next year I will have lost another 15 pounds.
So proud of you, Ashley. Good for you for 'nipping it in the bud"!!! It's so hard to keep the weight off. I have a 'bum' right knee right now and not able to run or bike. Need to do SOMETHING! May look into the jillian workouts. Jenn looks GREAT! Saw her today. So impressed with how she is doing 'Insanity"! Miss you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading! It's hard to keep it up but I have you as a role model - you are a cheetah! The weight loss is slow going but then again, I haven't really cut back on certain eating habits either ;+) Sorry to hear about your knee - ice and ibuprofen!
