Short Circuit!
So I wanted to get back into circuit training. My initial success with losing lbs came from using the Biggest Loser Boot Camp
work out DVDs. They were great for beginners and I was able to lose about 35lbs in the first 6 months of my journey. But then I discovered running, biking, swimming and I kind of lost the routine of the circuit training. I figured I was burning enough calories without it. During this latest regression I figured I would bring it back to where I started and picked up the Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30
DVD. My plan was to incorporate the dvd workouts with my running so that I can cut a few more calories while I train for my next half marathon
. A good way to jump start my fat burning and rebuild my total body conditioning.
I just finished my first session. And I am exhausted. It is a challenging workout. First, because she uses a 3,2,1 method. Strength, cardio, abs. Second, because my conditioning is non-existant at the moment. At least for circuit training. During a run I know what my limits are and how to conserve energy. This ability is either a good thing or a bad thing but according to my scale I need to break my plateau. The dvd gives you an intense 20 minute workout with a beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. I completed the beginner and it was not the easiest. I am sure if you are in great shape this DVD is no problem but for us Gordos out there it will be a good tool to maximize your workout time. So I'll keep you guys posted on how it goes.
Update: August 7th look out for new content on the website. I wanted to get it out by the first but had some delays. But 7 is a lucky number!
Vaya!
