I haven’t put myself on a strict diet other than the “Don’t Eat Like a Lunatic” diet controlled portions and food I prepare myself from scratch with a lot of vegetables and grains. The work is hard, but I feel better than I have in years… more alert, more cheerful, more energetic. That was the worst part getting back on the scale for the first time in months and seeing how far I’d let myself go. For four weeks solid, I have done an hour of exercise every day (30 Day Shred and 6 Week Six Pack) and I’ve already lost over twenty pounds. (I was back to a size 22.) To say I was embarrassed was an understatement I felt ashamed of myself, that I had let not only myself but my husband down, and instead of getting back on ye olde proverbial horse, I just made things worse.įour weeks ago I had enough. Unfortunately, late last year, in addition to getting complacent, my husband and I were also hammered by weeks where nothing seemed to go right and we had to deal with one calamity after another… a burst water main, our car breaking down (repeatedly), the declining health of a family member… it just went on and on, and long story short, I fell into depression and packed nearly all the weight back on. There’s just something about her I respond well to she’s firm but fair during her workouts, and her enthusiasm for what she’s doing is infectious. The thing about Jillian is that while she’s earned and deserves her reputation for being a tough trainer, she’s not an unpleasant one. Keep in mind I’m six foot tall here.) There was no magic, no bull, just hard work, encouragement, and inspiration. (To give you an idea, I went from a size 28 down to a size 16. Over the course of months of exercise using Jillian’s DVDs, I lost weight DRAMATICALLY.

A lack of portion control on my part and a full time job reviewing video games has lead to a physique that’s not only unflattering, but unhealthy.
I might die tonight, and if I do, I hope someone with far more physical prowess will carry on my memory right through Level II.This review is from: Jillian Michaels: 6 Week Six-Pack (DVD)Īt 26 years old and nearly six feet tall, I should be a shapely Amazon of a gal, but I’m not. If you’re at all competitive like me, you want to push yourself to the limit just to see where it is. You don’t spend half the workout just trying to figure out how the heck to get your hands and feet to do all that at the same time!ģ) There’s not a lot of mindless chatter and the people are pleasant without being insanely exhuberant about working out.Ĥ) It’s a challenge. You might want to die during it, but at least it’s over quickly.Ģ) The moves are all basic, old-school exercises. It’s not pretty, and I’m anticipating a ridiculously long recovery time after tonight’s attempt.ġ) It’s short. Now, I cheated and fast forwarded through all of the levels so I know what’s coming. I was sore for 4 days after doing LEVEL 1!! The second time through was MUCH better, and after doing Level I three times, I’m going to attempt to do the modified version of Level II today. I had my game face on! In 22 min, Jillian wiped away all my swagger and left me a sweaty, shaking mess. The first day I tried it, I was all jacked up and ready to go. There are three levels, and each level includes a 22 min workout – 2 min warmup, three 6 min circuits (3 min weights, 2 min cardio, 1 min abs), and a 2 min cool down.
