30 Day Shred: Days 3-5 Level 1

Phew I made it through Days 3, 4 and 5 of the 30 Day Shred.  To be honest, I’m starting to get bored doing Level 1 and I’m so ready to move on to the next level.  I wonder if it will make a difference in the workout but somehow I doubt it.  I was thinking that I would possibly do Day 6-10 at level 2 and then Day 11-15 on level 3 and start over like that.

Day 3-

Jillian is totally committed to helping you lose weight and feel great!

July 3rd

28 minutes
220 calories burned
Max Heart Rate: 86%/161
Average Heart Rate: 68%/127

Day 4-

Breathing is very important when working out so definitely follow what Jillian tells you as far as when to inhale and exhale.  Proper breathing helps so much when you’re working out.

Day 4 is when I first started to feel bored with level 1.

Max Heart Rate: 86%/160
Average Heart Rate: 70%/130

Day 5-

Torn as to whether to move on to level 2 or not.  I modified the butt kicks with a bit of jogging and some of the jumping rope with leg kicks.  Had some knee pain so thought it would be best to modify with a move that does not cause any issues but still keeps my heart rate up.

I’m feeling good so far with the workout.  I think it’s really smart for me to switch back and forth on the weight sizes and I’m doing much better with the various crunching exercises.  The hardest for me are the bicycles, can’t keep my legs up off the ground for too long but I’ll get there.

What are your thoughts about me moving on to level 2?  Or should I stick it out for 5 more days?

So undecided!

Happy Shredding,
