Jillian Michaels 30 Day Dead Shred

Yeah. It's that bad. Which in the long run is good...I guess. lol

I bought this back in January after hearing how great it worked. After the first day I literally could not move without groaning. Let me back up and explain how this works. There are 3 levels and you do each one (they last only about 20 min. I know. I thought that too...) for 10 days before moving to the next level. Supposedly you are supposed to look great and loose 20 lbs.
I FF through a lot of the DVD to see how things worked...pretty basic. Jumping jacks, crunches, lunges...nothing crazy. And it was 20 minutes. I can do anything for 20 minutes. Or not. My heartrate was up after the warm-up and after 10 min I couldn't even catch my breath...even when she is yelling at me encouraging me and reminding me that I don't get a break if I want to see results in a 20 min workout. I knew that this was the best money I had ever spent and I had wasted every dollar I ever spent on gym memberships. I have spent many hours in gyms and never knew my muscles could hurt so bad until this. In less than 20 min.
I did it again the next day and I made it a little farther and did not take as many breaks, but still had a lot of work to do...and also had to add in some time to heal.
When I put the DVD back in a couple of days later, it wouldn't work! I guess it even went on strike because it had worked fine until then. I was thrilled devistated. But there was nothing I could do.
Well, a few months and a new DVD player later, I am finally digging it back out. I have put it off since I am helping Brooke now and have to be able to move, but summer is almost here and from all the reviews I have read, it does work.
If I finish the even the first level of the 30 Day Shred in a month it will be a 30 Day Miracle. ha =)
