There's no way around it. Jillian's cardio sucks. It sucked the first day I did it (9 days ago), and it still sucks today. Of course, I don't mean her cardio is bad...I mean it sucks in the sense that all you want to do is scream out mid-running man "THIS SUCKS". Today was especially hard, I'm definitely not properly hydrated and I felt sluggish through the whole workout, never really got a rhythm down and by the end I was seriously out of breathe.
Thank goodness this cardio dvd is the same for all of phase 1, because I'm not ready to see what phase 2 cardio has in store for me. Only one more session of each workout #1 and #2 before I'm officially done with those dvds (each strength dvd is only used for half of the phase while the cardio dvd is used for the full phrase). I will then graduate on to new and presumably harder strength training...bring it on Jillian, I'm ready.
One of my dear friends IRL (in real life) just got her copy of body revolution in the mail TODAY! Can't wait for her to get started so she can join me in cursing Jillian.
oh man... do i hate those running mans!!! i would rather do the "suicides" twice in one circuit! haha! :)
ReplyDeleteThe suicides are hard for me in my tiny apartment, but running man is super loud. No way to do it gracefully! I will be doing the cardio later tonight. Booo....it's my least favorite, too.
ReplyDeleteI am doing the Ripped in 30 until BR arrives....yuck...I hat running mans with a passion! My heart rate raises through the roof.
ReplyDeleteAre you still wearing your HRM? Sometimes that cheers me up/motivates me to keep moving as I see those numbers. It's cool this program has milestones to keep you going, personal ones like your kick butt planks, and programming ones like moving on to strength 2.
