I love that the core and strength work could be used as a small “recovery” in between the intense cardio drills. I feel like this is very attainable, especially since sometimes the hour-long classes can hinder busy potential participants. It’s short! 3 cheers for 30-minute workouts, because if you work hard, that’s really all you need (if you make a point to remain active during the day). It’s great to know what’s next without having to wait around for more instructions. I’m totally going to use this method in my own classes -I love the Class Tamer and Tabata Pro apps- which would enable me to do the same thing. ![]() You were meant to keep working and watch, so when the timer beeped again you could go straight into the next exercise and know what to do. She had a little beep in the music at the 20-second mark of the interval so she could demonstrate what was coming up next. There were also modifiers on stage, so you were never at a loss for options if you needed to take it down a notch or wanted to power it up! I loved that Jillian demonstrated all of the exercises before we began, and also gave progressions and regressions if you needed to modify. I prefer this because it enables participants to work at their own pace. Because there isn’t a set amount of reps during each 30-minute block, you do as many as you can. By doing so, the heart rate remains elevated (= higher calorie burn), you get in a great sweaty workout, and the time goes by quickly. I love this style of training because you are moving quickly from various types of movements with no rest in between. Fail- but the 20 minutes was just enough to give me a taste of the style and workout. ![]() Sadly, I didn’t get to stay for the entire workout -I missed the last 10 minutes because we started a bit late and I needed to move my car from the metered spot from where I’d parked. I was too focused on Jillian’s awesomeness and what I needed to do next. When we did the workout, I didn’t really pay attention to how the moves were set up we switched exercises every 30 seconds, and while it was definitely a mix of strength, cardio and abs, I’m not sure if it was 3-2-1 exactly. According to the website, the workout consists of Jillian’s 3-2-1 formula: 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs. The “SHRED” part of the acronym stands for Synergistic, High Intensity, Resistance, Endurance and Dynamics. It’s high intensity because you’re working at your full capacity the entire time, and emphasizes endurance because you don’t stop moving until the 30-minute block is over. It’s a full-body calorie scorcher, and the intervals make it go by extremely fast.īODYSHRED is an high-intensity endurance based 30-minute workout. While I’ve heard a lot about BODYSHRED, it was my first experience with the workout. This past summer while I was at IDEA, I had the chance to take this class from the creator and master herself: Jillian Michaels. <3įor today’s Focus On post, I thought we could talk about BODYSHRED, a fun and INTENSE total body workout. Later today, I’m putting together a new workout for ya for the holiday season, and am heading out on another trip to the post office to ship the remaining lotus tanks! If you haven’t received yours yet, it is on the way. ![]() P has been snuggling like crazy, and Liv is always happy to have another friend to play dollies and read with her. Hi friends!
