I LOVE THIS WORKOUT!

I am not much for television, but I'm sure most of you have at least heard of the show "Biggest Loser." It features contestants that come on the show and compete to lose the most weight. Often resulting in drastic changes.

Recently, in search of finding a new workout really shape my body, I came across trainer Jillian Michael's (she is the female trainer on the Biggest Loser). After reading a little about the video on her website, I thought she had some good concept ideas of intertwining cardio, strength training and abs all within a twenty minute workout video.

It's called "30-Day Shred" and it will kick your butt. I'm serious too, I consider myself to be in really good shape and this workout is hardcore. It's non-stop but very simple- no hand eye coordination necessary. She uses a "3-2-1" concept; three minutes of cardio, two minutes of strength and one minute of abs, and you vary exercises for three circuits- nonstop! There are three different level workouts, each maintaining the 3-2-1 idea. In order to get the best results you can vary the workouts pretty much anyway you would like.

All you need besides the DVD, is a couple of small hand weights and a mat and you will be on your way to losing "20 lbs in 30 days" or so she claims. I'll let you know, I just started it last week but have a feeling it really is going to giving me the lean muscle I've been wanting.

Her site also offers an individual weight loss plan, and offers more workouts, slimming recipes and other really helpful weight loss tools.

Check it out.. try it out and let me know what you think.
