Jillian Michaels

My friend Lalaine introduced me (yet again) to another type of exercise and it's called 30-day shred with Jillian Michaels. If you follow the exercises everyday for 20 minutes, you will be "shredded" in 30 days time.

Last night was my first time to get into my exercise routine since we came back from our holiday break in Thailand. The exercises are very intense. Even the warm ups are intense. What I like about this type of exercise is that it includes cardio in between toning certain areas.

There are 3 levels in this 30-day shred program. In each level, there are 3 circuit trainings. Each level lasts for 20 minutes. And so, resting in between is a no-no. Every minute counts. JM said that this 20-minute exercise can be equal to hours and hour of exercise.

I'm gonna do it again tonight... and if I can, will include Pop Pilates too.

But I am not that desperate. Am I?

Hmmm... I guess I am. I am going to attend an engagement ceremony next month. So that would be my motivation to lose weight.

For now, I have to put the kids to sleep so I can do my 2nd day of 30-day shred, level 1.

Thanks to my friend Lalaine (for the free video), who's blogging her 30-day shred at Trying to be Fit.
