It was a 30 minute circuit training workout and since I hadn't done it before I was intrigued and able to go all out. I didn't know what was next because it was a new workout so I couldn't pace myself like I had been doing with Insanity.
I like Jillian's style because it is similar to Insanity and she kind of rides you like Shawn T. At the end of the workout, after she rides you, she tells you how great you did and what an accomplishment it is that you finished the workout and that you should be proud of yourself. She also tells you to take that sense of accomplishment and use it in every aspect of your life. It's kind of incredible. I enjoyed my experience so much I decided to do Jillian Michaels workouts all week.
I did Killer Thighs and Buns one day and Six-Pack Abs another. I worked different muscle groups each day and I felt like I was working just as hard as when I did Insanity. I live in Palm Springs and it has been extremely hot here, over 90 degrees in the house and that is where I have been doing the workouts so I have been dripping sweat. Have you heard of hot yoga? Well I'm doing hot interval circuit training. At the end of these workouts every body part is covered in sweat. It's kind of cool because I feel like I'm working really hard, but you also need to hydrate even more when you are sweating that much.
I'm glad I have shaken up my workout routine with a week of Jillian Michaels because it's always good to work other muscles that you aren't used to working so you don't plateau. I definitely am going to finish out this week with Jillian Michaels and gauge my results. I may continue for the rest of June if I see the results I want.
I am in this six-pack challenge with a co-worker and our halfway point is coming up June 10th, so I have to make sure to be on point with that. June 10th we are having a work pool party so it is important for me to look my best as everyone knows me as the girl who eats healthy and works out all the time, can't let my reputation change. So I need to work extra hard until then. Until next week stay strong and stay fit!
