Still Shredding

I have done the Shred video 3 out of 4 days since bringing it home and am very proud of myself for pushing through the pain! I took Friday off because I could barely walk down the stair case and thought I might have a tennis match later on in the evening. We didn't end up playing, but by then I was too lazy and sore to get up! This morning I woke up and took my pups on a nice walk to help loosen up my muscles and stretch out my legs. I am sure they appreciated the fresh air too and it got me pumped to get my workout in during the morning!

I really thought I was in pretty good shape until every day when I reach the strength training in circuit two of this workout. It is really kicking my butt and when Jillian says she wants us panting she was not kidding! The cardio sections have already gotten much easier- I attribute that to my hours on the court playing tennis- and abs aren't too bad until I get to the bicycle kicks in circuit three. So far I only last about ten seconds with those and then have to do normal sit ups. Afterward, even though I feel like I am going to die, I am able to recover fairly quickly and my heart beat is back to normal within a few minutes.

I added a little counter to the side so I can help keep myself accountable and I figure I could post a little update here and there since so many of you were curious to know how it's going. I know that I won't be able to do the workout every single day for 30 days in a row (a girl's gotta rest!!) but I am confident that if I include this video in with 2-3 days of tennis I'll be ready for a bathing suit in no time! Hope you all are motivated to get out there and move it a bit today! Happy Saturday!
