Ripped in 30, day 25

So I haven't technically hit 30 days, but I'm officially done with this workout routine.  I have laughed, cried, and almost vomited AND IT WAS WORTH EVER SECOND!!  This has honestly been the best workout I have ever done.  Although I didn't lose any weight (as a matter of fact, I gained muscle weight) I'm really happy with the results.  I could have had even better results  if I would have been as strict as Jillian Michaels recommended.  For this program, she recommends working out 5-6 days a week.  I only did 4 days a week and this final week I only did 3 because of back pain.  She also gives you a great diet plan, which I didn't follow.  My diet is pretty good, but I know I would have been even more toned if I had followed through with Jillian's recommendations.  Overall, here's the most important parts to take home about this workout:

  • always stretch before you press play if you want  less muscle soreness - there were only a brief few minutes of dynamic stretching at the beginning of each workout which I just didn't feel was enough
  • if you're not at least somewhat in shape, this workout is probably not for you.  Jillian is known for being tough and she did not fail to bring the pain with this DVD.  I would categorize almost all of her moves and exercises as advanced.  Although this workout does show a "beginner" modification, most of the exercises will likely prove difficult if you're out of shape
  • if you're looking to shed those last few pesky pounds, this DVD is for you!
  • if you're looking for a quick shred, this DVD is for you!
Here it is,  before and after!  Thanks for reading!
