Well, in an effort to try something new (and not always have to go through the pre-running routine that takes so much time), I finally started Jillian Michael's 30 day shred DVD. I bought it last summer when I first started losing weight for realz and made the mistake of trying it right after running and weights at the gym. Uh, it's a bit harder than it looks!
It was nice not to have to go anywhere to workout. That is new for me. I generally enjoy the "comraderie" of the gym. I find it motivating, plus they have lots of equipment that I simply don't have or have room for in my apartment. I also got to sleep in just a little later because the workout is short compared to my morning runs.
I enjoyed the DVD a lot more than I thought I would! I really like how she is switching it up every 30-60 seconds. It keeps the boredom away. Plus, since it's non-stop, I really feel I can get maximum benefits. Here I sit at work, a good 2 1/2 hours after finishing the workout and my arms and legs (but especially my arms) are burning still! I hope I can lift them tomorrow, because I want to go for day 2!
