My aunt texted me yesterday with an awesome idea...do the workout without Jillian and just listen to music. She said I should text her when I was done as an added accountability issue. I might not have Jillian there pushing me on, but I could imagine she was there encouraging me instead.
It worked.
Instead of timing myself I counted each exercise. I did one of Jillian's circuits and counted out what I was doing...30 jumping jacks...50 jump ropes...30 jumping jacks...50 jump rope...15 push-ups (girly style)...30 static lunges with bicep curls...15 push-ups (girly style)...30 static lunges with bicep curls...30 crunches...30 reverse crunches...try not to puke as I do Jillian's cool down which is stretches.
Now my arms feel like jell-o, my legs burn, and I feel like throwing up. Did I mention the sweat running down my back and my face? My whole body is trying to go into melt-down mode. That's a good sign.
Tomorrow I'll do the same thing. Honestly, I almost liked this more than the workout with Jillian. With this I'm in control. Maybe once I replace my DVD player I'll trade off doing this and doing the 30 Day Shred.
Thanks, Aunt Val!! I love you!
Have a great day, all!
