workout slump


so it's safe to say that i am not a firm believer in working out. i hate it when i start to feel tired and do not have any guilt in stopping my workout. in the past (high school) i would work out for crew about 2-2 1/2 hours a day and then when i first got to school i would wake up at 5 to row for the team (that lasted a semester). now i find myself sitting, doing nothing and making up excuses to avoid the gym (this explains my 20 lb weight gain over the past 4 years).

well, now that i'm graduating i feel as though i need to get back on track and stop being lazy. which is why i got the jillian micheals no more trouble zones workout video. let me tell you this...i had to stop 30 minutes into it because it was so hard to do. i mean honestly, who actually wants to do a workout video where your muscles are screaming after like 10 seconds. and to make maters worse everyone would make fun of me for doing a workout video. whatever, i know i need someone to push me and obviously personal trainer is out of the question (i doubt they have any in upstate ny).

i need a new workout routine where i can feel a burn but without tiring after 30 minutes!
any ideas?!

  1. Hmm...wish I had some great advice for you..I have Jillian Michael's 30 day shred, which is really good for a 30 min. workout...there are three levels and you do it at your own pace. When I get into it, I usually do level one for a week or two, and then maybe kick it up to level two. It's not too intense and I always feel pretty good when I'm done! Hope this is somewhat helpful to you! XO
