First impressions of Jillian Michael's DVD 6 weeks to 6 pack abs is that I'm intrigued so far...I didn't think level 1 was terribly hard, but it was a decent workout. I felt like my heart rate was raised, and I really liked that she keeps you constantly moving the entire time. There is no time to rest, and this means that the time flies by pretty fast. I did it without sneakers, which I won't do again. She had us doing a lot of stand up moves that would have been easier with sneaks. I figured since it was abs and core that it would be mostly lying down exercises, but I was wrong. She takes you through a long circuit and does it twice. I also liked that she showed you different modifications to each exercise for a beginner, intermediate, or advanced participant.
I'm going to keep with it, and see how it goes. It's definitely not going to be my only workout of the day, I'll say that much. I feel like although a video does get me up and moving, I really need cardio to feel like I've done something productive (exercise-wise). This will be a great addition to the cardio I already usually do. We will let the before and after pictures be the judge to this 6 week challenge.

| I'm ready. Lets go! |
After our little workout (Joe joined me) I was hungry. But then again, I'm always hungry. I ate an orange which was delightful, but then I was still hungry. After raiding the pantry I decided on soup that was only 80 calories a serving and had a ton of veggies in it. Cha-ching! Bingo! It was yummy and full of fresh ingredients! Feels got to get 2-3 servings of veggies in as my late night snack.
