With the new Biggest Loser season launching last week, Jillian Michaels is all over the news lately. She’s on the cover of the most recentĀ LHJ, has a new Biggest Loser DVD and is hitting up the talk show circuit as often as she lets her contestants have it during their last chance workouts.
But Miss Michaels is nothing new online; she has been a web sensation for quite a while with her hit workout DVD the 30 Day Shred. Several bloggers and tweeters have taken Jillian’s challenge, completing level one for ten days, level two for the following ten days and level three for the final ten—for a total 30 day plan. Jillian promises that this program will leave your body “shredded” (AKA ripped and toned).
Of course, buying the DVD and giving the program a shot yourself is a great idea. But if you want an at-home, no equipment required, shortcut version of a shred workout, try my segment above!
Warmup with 3 minutes of light cardio such as jumping jacks, jogging in place or air jumping rope, then complete the circuit above three times. Try to brace your core tightly throughout the moves and keep your knee in line with your toes for the lunges. Finish off with some static stretching for a full, well-balanced workout!
(Thank goodness workout moves can’t be copyrighted: shout out to Cathe Friedrich for some inspiration on this post as well!)
