I had hoped to download some workouts onto my laptop, but ended up not bringing it because of practicality (thereвЂ™s no room to work out in our teeny bedroom, and every space large enough to work out at Faire is outside and dirtyвЂ¦and there are VERY limited showers. My husband and I sleep on the grounds (he has a leather shop there, and we sleep in a bedroom above the shop), so my routine was broken. I spent the three-day weekend at the PA Renaissance Faire and completely fell off the wagon. Well, my Labor Day weekend really got me off track, and just as I was starting to build momentum!

I think should probably go take a shower, for everyoneвЂ™s sake. This definitely had me yelling at the TV, вЂњWhat?! You want me to do MORE?вЂќ by the 3-minute mark and panting, вЂњOh, God!вЂќ by the 1-minute mark, but luckily they have the countdown on the left-hand side of the screen so you know there is an end in sight.

So many of the crunches people suggest I either execute poorly (i.e., I have no idea how to do them so that I feel any kind of burn) or theyвЂ™re way too hard. Finally, I think I found an abs workout that is effective. Even though I was sweating buckets by the end.ДЄfter the cardio, the video switches to a 10-minute abs workout which is INTENSE, led by Cindy Whitmarsh. Not obnoxious Richard Simmons upbeat, but in the way that makes you want to laugh and smile all the way through the workout. It starts with 30 minutes of a cardio dance routine led by an INCREDIBLY upbeat guy named Kendell. Today, I worked out with the 6 Pack Abs in 6 Weeks package, Level 1. I think IвЂ™ll be skipping that one next time.

Plus, she did the crunches pilates-style, which I simply donвЂ™t understand, so I couldnвЂ™t really get any kind of abs workout. Yes, I sweated, yes, I felt tired, but a lot of the movements didnвЂ™t feel like I was working the muscle groups I could have been working. Granted, I started on Day 4 of the workout, but I wasnвЂ™t really impressed. On Thursday, I went holistic with a Gaiam video (theyвЂ™re known mostly for their yoga and pilates DVDs) called Total Body Cardio with Tanja Djelevic.

Now, IвЂ™ve only done Level 1 for two days (remember, the Body-for-LIFE Challenge asks for alternating strength & cardio days вЂ“ and then I fell off the wagon for Labor Day weekend), but even after two times, I thought, вЂњThere must be other programs I can do for my cardio days.вЂќДЄnd so I leafed through the Exercise TV menu on Comcast On Demand and decided to try some different workouts. The way the 30-day Shred is supposed to work, youвЂ™re supposed to do Level 1 for 10 days, Level 2 for 10 days, and Level 3 for 10 days. So as much as I like Jillian MichaelвЂ™s 30-day Shred, I like variety in my workoutsвЂ¦otherwise, I get bored and stop doing them. On Demand is funny, because itвЂ™s almost random the things you find in there from day to dayвЂ¦but while IвЂ™m waiting for Level 3 to appear, I want to try Jillian MichaelsвЂ™ Boost Metabolism and No More Trouble Zones that are in the category. The 30-Day Shred Level 3 is not up on Comcast On Demand right now (which is fine, because IвЂ™m not ready to progress to level 3 yet anyway).

At the end of each workout, though, I feel energized (and sweaty) and sore (and sweaty), and I feel great about myself. The workout is only 20 minutes, but as she says, вЂњIf youвЂ™re only working out for 20 minutes, I want you moving that entire time.вЂќ And she maximizes those 20 minutes through strength and cardio intervals which kick my butt even though theyвЂ™re only a few minutes each. In her 30-Day Shred videos, sheвЂ™s got the same two women working out behind her: one does the modified moves, and the other one does each move to the max. And well she should she is a good motivator and an excellent teacher. Yes, Jillian Michaels has her own category on Exercise TV.
