hello newbies!
and a pat on the back for everyone. we can do this!!
i've done shred 2.5 times. once last xmas, once in the summer.
you need weights (although i used small bottles of water at first) trainers, space to lie down for floor work and space for jumping (star jumps).
the attraction was that it is only about 20 mins long, no excuses for not having the time!
You do 3 mins strength, 2 mins cardio and 1 min abs, three times. includes, jumping jacks, lunges, squats, crunches, press ups, etc.
i was SO unfit when i started i felt sick and ached so much. but i loved it. and its got my fitness to a place where i could start c25k.
got stronger, fitter and firmer, i but didnt lose much weight, probably because i didnt watch my diet enough.
if you stick with it, you do start to feel fitter within a week.
if i had the time or energy i wouod love to do that on alternative days to c25k.
jillian's really good. not annoying. quite strict.
i think it was really good. i joined a thread on here too which helped. Some people on the thread were losing weight with it, and being careful with diet.
want to learn to run now though... c25k w2r1 here i come!
(i'll shut up now....)
