A number of popular diet and weight loss plans are actually devised by dietitians, health gurus, and fitness experts. One such contender is the 30-Day Shred diet plan. It is not exactly a diet plan, but more of a fitness program aimed at hardcore fitness enthusiasts. Made by celebrity fitness trainer Jillian Michaels, it comprises of an exercise DVD that contains circuit workouts each of 20-minute duration (1). Michaels, however, recommends nutritional and dietary inputs in it. It is by no means easy to follow the regimen, considering the fact it is devised by a lady who is also called “America’s Toughest Trainer.”
Jillian Michaels used to be an obese kid, but since her teen years she has devoted herself to developing a fit figure and there was no looking back since then. Her tenure at the hit TV series ‘The Biggest Loser’ made her a household name (2). However, she also released 6 fitness books and 9 fitness DVDs. She also runs a health website that gets approximately 1.6 million monthly visitors.
The 30-Day Shred program, according to Michaels, will help you lose 20 pounds within a month. There are 3 levels in the program. Each level is harder than the previous one. You have to complete each level within 10 days and then move to the next. The workouts are based on her Strength/Cardio/Abs 3-2-1 training circuit. The DVD also comes with a cool-down and warm-up session for each of the levels.
Michaels believes in making use of every single muscle in the human body to shed excess flab and attain a toned body. The workouts are stringent in nature, but you will not need any heavy investment or equipment as such. Take some weights, spend 20 minutes to perform the moves and be consistent about it to get the desired results. You also need to wear comfortable attire and shoes.
While a lot of women and men from various age groups have benefitted from this weight loss plan, it may not be ideal for everyone. You should check your fitness status and health conditions with a doctor to be clear about your suitability for this rigorous workout plan. Not everyone loses 20 pounds of weight in a month after trying this plan, but losing up to 15 pounds is a common experience.
You can very well buy the DVD and try the moves at home, but careful planning is required if you want to get the maximum results from this program. Below listed is a number of handy tips that you can utilize and succeed in this regard:
Before you begin the program, take a tape and measure your waist, chest, hips, and thighs. You may write down the found measurements. This can be compared with the changes you find after completion of the program one month later. That way you can understand how well you have fared.
Diligence and consistency are absolutely required when you want to shed pounds while adhering to this plan. Based on your daily schedule, you will need to schedule some time every day for the moves. They will require less than an hour. It can be done either at night or morning or any other time suited for you. However, it is required that once you start working out at a time of the day, you stick to it.
Any weight loss program requires the followers to stick to a healthy diet. While Michaels is not very particular about what you can and cannot eat, she tells the users to stick to the basics. First of all, you should throw away that fat laden processed and fast food from your kitchen cabinets and fridge. She points out what type of foods you can and cannot eat in the DVD.
