The only caution I can make about 30 Day Shred has to do with the weights sections (which I’ll often do without weights in my hands). Play it in a laptop with a DVD player for a quickie workout almost anywhere. Great for travel! If you’re hitting the road this month, let Shred tag along.I’ve done the workouts on a carpeted floor without either accoutrement and still felt the burn.
JM recommends a workout mat and hand-weights, but both are optional. At the same time, she doesn’t come off like a scary drill instructor - just a friend who’s trying to motivate you to do your best She’s supportive, but in a no-frills kinda way (as opposed to an exceedingly gushy cheerleader). One of the things about fitness DVDs is how quickly they get repetitive, but Shred’s different levels give me options and something to work toward. The different levels keep the workouts fresh.I can’t even imagine level three, yikes!Īnd I like that each workout takes just 20 minutes to complete, particularly this time of year. I even feel sore the next day (in a good way). No workout DVD has ever kicked my booty like this one has, but it’s still fun, doable, and I think the exercises themselves are interesting - things like skaters (a motion like speed skating), plank jacks (plank position/jumping jack hybrid on the floor), squat thrusts and high-knee kicks.īy the end of level two, which is as far as I’ve gotten so far, I’m dripping in sweat. To say these workouts are challenging for me would be an understatement. The idea is to work your way through the three levels of difficulty over the course of 30 days, at the end emerging leaner and “shredded” to the max. JM (the same one from TV’s The Biggest Loser) calls it the 3-2-1 Interval System, a 20-minute mixed workout emphasizing strength training, cardio and abs. The DVD’s from 2007 (the one I have), so it’s a few years old, but the balanced workout really makes me sweat.
