Jillian Michaels: 30 Day Shred

Finally got round to my Jillian Michaels DVD yesterday.

I usually do yoga on Thursday but unfortunately I instead had to help my boyfriend clean the house and do a grocery shop in prep for a lads get together at the weekend (well... could have left him to do it all but I'm too nice).

I finished all the chores at 8.30, and instead of sitting down in front of the TV and going full mushroom, I decided to whip out my 30 day shred DVD which has been gathering dust in my bookshelf (exercise classes at the gym always seemed much more fun).

Once I started my boyfriend whipped off his jeans and joined in with a goofy grin on his face. I think he was expecting it to be very sedate and girly.

Boy, was he wrong.

He cycles for hours every week, and looks pretty ripped naturally, but he is not used to doing upper body resistance and core work. He went very sweaty and red in the face (as did I to be fair).

My favorite bit was when he started getting whiney and yelled out "Jillian Michaels you b*tch". Hehe.

The workout was hard, but felt a little short. I think I could have back2backed it with another one (maybe I should work on pushing the intensity a little more).

Overall I thought it was really great, and I'm looking online at some of her other ones already. I'd love to do a full 30 day challenge.
