Introduction

The reason for this blog is to give me a place to write down my progress of exercising using Jillian Michael’s DVD 30 Day Shred.  I have other DVD’s of hers but since I have basically never exercised in my life I started with this one because it’s a simple 25 minute workout and has 3 levels for advancement throughout the program.

Some background information on the DVD/Program:

It’s Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD that I am using.  The idea is that you exercise for 30 days, throughout 3 different levels, going up a level every 10 days. Each 20 (it’s really more like 25 once you’re completely done and panting on the floor) minute workout contains:

• One 2-minute warm-up
• Three 6-minute circuits (3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, 1 minute of abs)
• One 2 minute cool-down

It states that you should move up in level every 10 days (since it’s a 30 day program) but I may not do that considering my being completely out of shape and overweight but we will see how I progress.

I’m also going to include my measurements at day 1, 15, and 30.  I’m going to do my best not to miss a day because I feel that if I do I’ll just skip every day.

So with that said, here we go!
