I am terrible at strength training. At the gym I don't push myself and really don't know what to do. Enter: Jillian Michaels and No More Trouble Zones. She is my savior of strength training.
I love this DVD. I love the circuits and how it is broken up. It is a killer and my body currently is hurting. I also love that it is just strength training and not cardio; I'm getting my cardio in with my miles. Yesterday I did circuts 1-3. Today I did circuits 4-7. Both days I had run 4.5 and 6 miles so I didn't want to push myself to do the full DVD. On Wednesday I am planning to do the DVD in its entirety instead of going to the gym.
I was such a fan of the 30 Day Shred that I thought nothing could compare to it. But I now love this DVD in a different but equal manner.

I looove NMTZ! I think I even like it better than the shred. I like how you are breaking it up and pairing it with your running days.
Sounds like a great DVD!

I simultaneously love and hate this DVD. It is a killer workout.
So glad you like it! It's currently kicking my rear end! I finally stopped hurting so much after Friday's workout!
Aaaaaaaaaand I just bought it :)
i've never tried jillian's 30 day shred but i'm really curious to do so! I may have to rent it sometime soon :)
It's weird, I have the Shred and I just really didn't like it as a "strength" routine. To me it felt like cardio with weights lol.
Awesome that you found something that pushes you!
I have this dvd and I've only done it ONCE! It was sometime last spring, and I remember being so tired and sore for days. I need to break it out again though. I like how you're breaking it up. I should do that. It seems like SO MUCH all at once.
I really need to buy this DVD...
jillian michaels is for sure the go-to person for gym help! i wish she was at my gym so i could stalk her and steal her workouts everyday haha
ooh very interesting!! If you don't mind me asking - what equipment do you need? Just dumbbells and a mat? I like the idea of an ST video since I don't have a body pump class nearby!
I've been struggling to get my ST in - maybe I should give this a whirl!! Thanks for the good idea!
