Even though I had the time, I wasn’t on vacation so I still resented the extra time required getting changed into and out of workout gear twice, the two showers, two post-work out recoveries etc more than I anticipated. Its a major pain to have to do two separate workouts. Jillian uses 3lbs weights but I used 3kg (about 6.6lbs), which worked for me. The only equipment you need is a couple hand weights.
The cardio workout is broken down into three rotations (also done twice) and a cool down.
The strength workout is broken down into a warm up, fours rotations (each done twice) and a cool down. According to Jillian, she separates the workouts to get “double the calorie after-burn”. You have to do two 30 minute workouts a day – a strength workout in the morning and a cardio workout in the evening. The One Week Shred is supposed to be a “crash” workout program to get you into shape in just one week before a special event, like a wedding or vacation, where you want to look good. And since I was going to be away for seven days, wanted to keep working out, enjoyed the 30 Day Shred and would have the time to do it, I thought, why not? But I did try and stay mindful of my food choices because I do want to lose a couple more dress sizes from where I am. However, this requires following her eating plan and not only do I refuse to diet, even if I wanted to I couldn’t because I was in a hotel with limited cooking ability. I didn’t have an event I needed to be “shredded” for coming up in a week, but I was curious to see what effect this program would have, especially since Jillian claims that you can lose up to seven pounds over the course of the seven days. I was originally inspired to do the 30 Day Shred after reading Nurse Love’s Farmer’s post about it and I remembered that she also did a post about doing J illian Michael’s One Week Shred. It was soon after I finished doing the 30 Day Shred again and I wanted to keep my work out habit going and build on the momentum of my success with it. I recently went away for a week sans kids and husband.
