This is It

My whole Shred experience ends today. I have not technically done 30 days due to not being able to team up with my workout buddy, sore muscles and ever other excuse under the sun. However, I think I have learned enough to make an opinion.

I did do all three levels. In the beginning I was pumped. I had heard all these amazing things and was so super excited. I got my butt kicked often by Jillian. This is a good workout, but not the workout for me.

Before doing the Shred I was into really intense workouts that lasted about an hour. Part of what brought me to the Shred was the fact it was a 20 minute workout. I figured no more long sessions would be awesome.

For me the 20 minutes - no matter how intense or whatever - do not work. I have suffered from a loss of motivation and extreme boredom. The Shred made me lose my momentum.

I am not saying this isn't a good workout. I think it would be great for beginners or for someone who is not an ADD as me. I am not good with the same old thing over and over.

Looking back on my experience with this I would say it did not live up to the promises. Maybe since I was not 100% dedicated at the end that is why. I did lose some inches. Here are my final measurements:

Arm-11 3/4
Waist-37
Hips- 45 1/2
Thigh- 24
Calf-14 3/4

Totals Lost:
Arm -1/2
Waist -1
Hip - 1 1/2
Thigh - 2 1/2
Calf - 3/4

I hope my math is correct :) That makes the result of my 30 Day Shred experience equal up a total of 6 1/4 inches lost total.

Not bad, I suppose. I am moving on now and officially saying good bye to the Shred. It's been lovely. Toodles.
