30-Day Co-Shredders

Well my idea of a good evening tonight was going to be a bottle of my favorite Vanilla Porter while I watched The Biggest Loser. But when I picked up Ethan from school today, he bounced over to me and excitedly asked "Can we do 30-Day Shred tonight? I want to do Level 3!" I suppose drinking beer and watching other people sweat will have to wait until later...

I picked up this Jillian Michael's DVD awhile ago. It's a great little workout that's nice to squeeze in on days I can't fit in a good strength circuit at the gym. The kids were intrigued as soon as I brought it home, and they've been doing it with me ever since. They even have their own little set of tiny dumbbells and they get excited when they recognize Jillian on TV. ("That's the lady from our workout video!")

It never would have occured to me to have them do these workouts, but we've had a lot of fun doing them together! I've been getting a great workout, and I've had some great opportunities to teach the kids about good exercise form, endurance, and the importance of working hard to keep our bodies healthy.

I don't think this DVD is enough to be a sole source of exercise but it is a great addition to my our routine!
