Re-Shredded (again)

November 4, 2011
By Bill

As you may know (or maybe not), I haven’t really run more than a few times since early March, when I goofed up my knee doing my marathon.  There have been attempts, to be sure, but after a couple of weeks my knee began hurting so I decided to lay off it for a while.  (And to my wife, yes, I’m going to make an appointment at the physical therapist!  LOL)

But since I stopped running, I’ve kind of lost a focus to my workouts.  I’ve been doing them, yes, but haven’t had any direction.  And that’s sort of made things a little less fun.

So to go along with my current round of eating correctly, I’ve decided to begin doing 30 Day Shred again.  It’s an oldie but a goodie, and I’m also a fan of it being short.  I was partially justifying all my binge eating by doing long workouts every day, and now that I’ve got the eating under control I’m going to focus primarily on doing Shred.

It’s still hard, by the way.  The first round of Level 1 is killing my shoulders (in a good way).  I’m modifying a couple of the other moves to make them harder, but the combination of pushups and squats with presses is as deadly as it was on day 1, way back when.

I love it.

So while I’ll still be throwing in a few other workouts occasionally, November is going to be mostly Shred.  Back to the basics, and go from there…

Who’s joining me?

    I’m with you! I’m doing the Shred as part of my cross-training for a half-marathon in January.

    I’m with you! I think I can commit to the Shred about three days a week. :-)

    I am with you too, I am at a killer plateau in my Weight Watchers weight loss, and am realizing the only way to push through it is to get my buns off the couch.

    Do you do it everyday or mix it up?
