But then I also got bored alternating between the first two levels. (I do not use bored to mean the workouts were easy…just that I was sick of doing the same thing every day…I had those workouts memorized.) So I started challenging myself every few days with the level 3 workout…and then going back to the first 2 levels in the days in between. I found that doing the low impact modifications of level 3 was a bit easier than doing level 2 at high impact…and that I could also make level 1 more challenging by continuing the exercises during the 20-30 seconds of “transition” that Jillian Michael’s allows between exercises and circuits. Based on everything I know about exercising, I would say my mixing it up technique is a better way to use this workout program than simply progressing from level to level, and it also helped me not to give up due to boredom. Long Story Short…This is how I recommend using Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred Workout Program (where not specified, whether or not to use modifications is up to you):ĭay 1 – Workout 1, low impact modificationsĭay 2 – Workout 1, low impact modificationsĭay 3 – Workout 1, ease out of modifications where you canĭay 6 – Workout 1, push yourself to avoid low impact modificationsĭay 8 – Workout 2, low impact modificationsĭay 19 – Workout 3, low impact modificationsĭay 22 – Workout 3, low impact modificationsĭay 28 – Workout 1, push yourself to work out even during transition timesĭay 30 – Workout 3: last day…give it all you’ve got.
on level 2) that I always chose the low impact modifications for or substituted jumping jacks. The plymetric moves that are in plank position really hurt my knees and I hate the rubbing noise the cartilage in my joints makes when I try to do them. As far as I could tell, Jillian Michael’s does not incorporate a rest day into her program…but I did.ĭon’t let yourself fall into thinking that low impact means “easier” or “the wussy way”…while the modifications usually are a bit easier, “low impact” really does mean “less impact” on your joints…and it may be wise to use these modifications even if you are in peak performance condition. Done as I laid out above, it will actually take 34 Days to get through the 30 Days due to the inclusion of rest days. The DVD box suggests that you could lose up to 20 pounds in 30 Days.
I might have lost a pound or two, but certainly not 20.By the end of Week 1, you would have lost a lot of water weight. This, in turn, will make you appear slimmer, and you will be motivated and focused on your weight loss goal. Your body’s metabolic rate will increase, and you will start to feel more energetic. You will love your new lifestyle and will look forward to Week 3. Week 3īy the end of Week 3, you would have lost much of the water weight and fat.
