I’ve done 30 Day Shred a few times, so it’s like visiting an old friend. This means I can work up to a harder level, and also adapt the moves to avoid injuring my back and knees. They’re no-nonsense and even though some of the workouts are marketed as “for beginners”, they are still challenging! But, as I’ve mentioned before, I really like that her assistants do modified and advanced moves. I find her motivational and sassy, and I’m proof that her workouts are effective. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Jillian Michaels is the best trainer. *At the end of 30 Day Shred I’m about a third of the way back to my peak fitness! Why I love Jillian Michaels At the start of 30 Day Shred, I could do about 30 seconds of cardio and about 5 push ups on my knees - you get the idea of how unfit I let myself get. As an example, in my peak fitness I could easily do a 40 min jog and a fair few push ups on my feet. I didn’t have to start “from scratch”, but it was pretty close. It therefore makes perfect sense that I’d kickstart my fitness by doing a 30 day challenge, because I actually have the time! We’re also fairly quiet, so that means I can leave on time and get home to do a workout. Now that we’re in the long summer vacation, I’m taking back my overtime, and using up some of my holidays. It gets pretty intense during the 8 week terms at Oxford and I end up working longer hours and some Saturdays, but I get that time back. My new job is fantastic for work life balance. You can see in My Fitness Journey: Exercises that work for me, and those that don’t from May 2017 where I was at just before I started that crazy job. Combine this with being miserable and emotional eating, and the result was gaining about 20 lbs and losing any remaining muscle definition and strength that I’d worked so hard for. When I started my job in publishing June 2017 I had a grueling commute and fairly inflexible hours, which resulted in not having time to do anything. I’m going to be completely honest and tell you that I fell off the exercise wagon, hard. In this post, I review the 30 Day Shred workout by Jillian Michaels, which is a month long HIIT programme comprising 30 minute workouts.ĭisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links The Beginning
max) and therefore I tend to go for high intensity workouts such as HIIT (high intensity interval training), because they’re the most effective. I prefer spending the least amount of time possible working out (45 min. Some like to get outdoors and hike, cycle, or jog others go to the gym or group yoga sessions. Everybody has their own approach to exercise and fitness.
