Jillian Michaels: No More Trouble Zones March 8, 2010

Posted by gmbmfb in : fitness , trackback

So if you couldn’t already tell, I got bored of the 30 Day Shred. I think I stopped at Day 21. I had been on Level 3 for the majority of the time (I think I moved to Level 3 on Day 6?) … and quite frankly, it was getting a little repetitive. And even if I threw in another level into my workout for variation, it was all just ho hum for me. Don’t get me wrong, it was still hard. I still found myself sweating buckets, and I certainly saw results. Plus I kept adjusting for heavier weights (was up to 8 to 10 lbs). I was just getting restless. That being said, I still definitely recommend this DVD for people who want to get into a proper exercise routine, or for those who are new to exercise.

Luckily, I had accumulated enough Swagbucks to get myself a new Amazon order. I got Jillian Michaels: No More Trouble Zones, and her Yoga Meltdown DVD.

Over the weekend, I started with No More Trouble Zones, and seriously. It’s pretty challenging. It’s exactly like the 30 Day Shed, except 45 minutes long. I like how it’s broken down into circuits (or ‘trouble zones’), and you do each circuit twice. The first time, I watched the 1st rep of the circuit, then joined in for the second. And the 2nd time I tried the DVD, I just went for it and couldn’t finish the DVD. Embarrassed! I should have enough in me to push through it. Will try again tonight.

What I think I’ll do is alternate NMTZ with Yoga Meltdown, and then on days where I’m tight on time, I’ll do the 30 Day Shred instead.

I have DVDs for exercises but it's true it's starting to bore me too. I'm thinking of shifting to boxing as a new exercise. You think it's cool? LOL.

I think you need goals to stay motivated. Like with hockey it's easy to stay motivated because it's fun and active and when your chasing down a forward (i play fullback) or running to score a goal you don't even think about how much your legs hurt. Same with cycling to work or hiking. Theres a destination to get to don't give up.
