Title: Workout DVD recommendation...
Post by: Flame on March 24, 2009, 09:03:37 AM
Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred


Whew.  Workout only takes 20 minutes, but its a non-stop 20 minutes!  There are 3 levels, so it gets progressively more difficult.  All that is needed are hand wieghts and a mat if you are on a hard floor.

We'll see if I can move tomorrow after this!

I did it for the first time this morning...it's 20 minutes, and a cool down.  2 minute warm up, then 3 circuits of 3 min strength, 2 min cardio, 1 min abs.   My muscles are still talking to me!

This is awesome!  I like a really good, sweaty cardio workout.  Do you do yoga?  I wouldn't mind some suggestions in that department!

I don't do DVDs because I know that no one is watching so I don't HAVE to do it.  LOL  But I have heard REALLY good things about the PX90 DVD too!!!

Thanks flame! I am going to give it a try. I also downloaded a book called Ageless If You Dare. It's a book of facial exercises, I dunno, some of the before/after shots were impressive.  :p

I have this thing about DVD or workout videos.  Since I KNOW the person can't really see what i am doing I will sit on my couch and eat bon bons while watching it.  :lmao:  It is rather counter-productive.  However, if I have someone standing in front of me saying "DO IT!" then I rise to the occasion!   :lmao:

P90X is an insanely powerful workout routine.  Albeit it's not for the faint of heart, or those not already in relatively decent shape.  It's basically to turn your average to a few extra pounds but active and healthy person; into a raw, lean, athlete or photo-shoot body.

There's a regular P90 for those who haven't been actively working out recently.  Which uses many of the same techniques and muscle confusion strategies, but with less intensity.
