So I finally convinced my Husband Justin to try the Shred along with me. Remember this is the guy that runs consistently, and has accomplished many half and full marathons. He wanted to do Level 3, but I was convinced Level 2 would do the trick.
Using my 8LBS weights, he kept up pretty well, but half way through, his skinny butt was sweating more than me. I don't know why Jillian doesn't have men in her video. I wonder if a lot of men shy away from it, thinking its a total chick workout. Obviously its just as effective for men.
So my question for the day is........Has your Husband, boyfriend, guy-friend, brother, male cousin, or grandpa tried The Shred yet? And secondly, how'd they like it? (Lets see if I can get my Hubs to comment, hehe....love you babe!)
I don't know what she's talking about. I didn't break a sweat!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, it KICKED MY BEHIND (or what little I have of one)!!! As Jennelle mentioned I am a runner and on top of that I do circuit training at work. I have to admit that I was thinking this was going to be an easy workout for me and at the start of the video I was even mocking the moves a little (especially the "greaser, comb-it-back" stretch). But as Jillian started getting into some of the other moves, I started to hurt...bad.
My knees and legs were not used to the movements because as a runner, I tend to shy away from lower body workouts since running is my main workout for that. The upper body exercises were not hard but coupled with the cardio that is involved, I found myself struggling to keep up.
I love the fact that Jennelle has found a workout that she is passionate about and I've already seen a change in her physically and even mentally. She is happier and more energetic compared to her pre-Shred days. This workout is legit and I can definitely see how this would create quick results. The hard part is just having the discipline to do it everyday. So, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK to everyone who is doing this. I'm sure you'll see more from me later.
