And with Level 2 & 3 I was panting and seriously sweating.
And after all of the workouts my arms and shoulders were burning by the end. Instead, for Level 1 I used 7, 8, 12 and 15 pound dumbbells, for Level 2 I used 5, 7, 8 and 15 pound dumbbells and for Level 3 I used 12 and 15 pound dumbbells and 5 pounders for the cardio. If I had gone that route these workouts would not have been as challenging. In 30 Day Shred, Jillian and crew had one set of dumbbells that looked like 5 pounds. But these are awesome, tough and seriously effective, too! How effective, as I always say and will continue to say, depends on the weights you choose (though not entirely–there is a good bit of body weight exercises that are very tough, so dumbbells are not required for all the tough stuff). When people call and say they are doing 30 Day Shred, she sends them her more current workouts, saying they are old school and her new ones are better. Levels 2 & 3 are super tough and had me seriously sucking wind! I listen to Jillian’s podcast and she is rather disparaging about 30 Day Shred. I really need to put these back into my doubles rotation. In fact, as I did them–Levels 2 & 3 especially–I wondered why I had not done them in so long. Big change in Jillian’s style of workouts but still great workouts. In fact, I did Jillian’s Hard Body workouts in the mornings the same week that I did 30 Day Shred as my doubles workouts. I would do two of these little workouts back-to-back–then on Saturdays I would attempt to do all 3! It killed me! Now I am revisiting them as my doubles workout–one at a time. So I wanted everything packed into that hour. Just one hour long workout every morning. I remember back in 2008 I didn’t do doubles. There are 3 workouts on this DVD–Level 1, 2, & 3. Probably the shortest of all of Jillian’s workouts that I own clocking on at 27 minutes each. I found it very tough in 2008 so I was really looking forward to returning to it to see how it stood the test of time. 30 Day Shred came out in 2008 and I bought it right when it came out.
Not old, old school–I sold those DVDs on Amazon a long time ago–but this is when her workouts started getting really good and really effective. If you find the workouts becoming slightly easier from one week to the next, however, just increase weights on your superset and triset days, or increase the reps in the circuit.30 Day Shred is old school Jillian Michaels.
Using a different method every time you hit the gym and different exercises in each workout will keep your body in a near-constant state of shock for the entire four weeks. That, and getting ready for the next day’s workout. On the days between each lifting session, all you have to worry about is one 45-minute session of cardio, staying between 65 and 75 percent of your maximum heart rate. RESTįatigued? That’s what recovery days are for. It’s not for the faint of heart-but then, neither is that bikini. You’ll turn up the heat on your fat cells even more by adding 20–30 minutes of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) immediately after each training session. This program employs both a weekly heavy-weight/low-rep workout and a light-weight/high-rep workout-as well as a third workout using moderate weights for good measure-to give you a completely new full-body workout every other day of the week. High-rep workouts done with lighter weights burn tons of calories during the session, while low-rep workouts with heavier weights increase calorie burning for 24 to 48 hours afterward. Studies show that combining heavy and light weights in a weekly training split helps transform the body more effectively than relying solely on one or the other for weeks at a time. Challenge yourself to get your best-ever bikini body this year! Our four-week program is designed to blast fat, boost metabolism and build muscle, getting you in knockout bikini body shape in record time.
