Dear Jillian: You don't suck.

I used to do the 30 day shred on my first go around (pre-Jackson). I liked Jillian Michaels.  I know a lot of people don't like her militaristic style and constant yelling "Don't phone it in!!" but I enjoy it. I don't want someone with huge knockers and bleach blonde hair telling me to correct my form.  I want someone like, well Jillian screaming at me through the screen.  

I bought Shred it with Weights because I need a change.  I am not a person of habit.  When it comes to working out I need different types of exercising.  I might run one week, go to the gym the next and do something completely different the next.  My sister in law has experience with kettlebells and she has a cute figure so I thought, hey it's worth a shot and I need something different.  I researched on it and decided 10lbs would be a good starting weight.  While I'm not in MMA fighting form I am not out of shape and 10lbs of kettlebell seemed like it would challenge me but not kill me.  

After Day 1, I really liked it. I rarely say that about working out but I really do like it.  It was tough, it made me curse and I wanted to quit 10 minutes in but the thought of coming back here to write half a post about half a workout seemed a bit embarrassing so I trucked along.  It was 30 minutes which is long enough to make me feel like I am doing something but short enough to where I don't turn it off and say "forget it" and use the case as a $8.99 coaster.  So I will keep doing it.  Granted I may feel differently in the morning after I realize my butt has muscles in it, I will keep going.
