Do NOT try this at home (exercise)

If by some chance you do try it and live to tell about it, don't come back her bragging to me! lol

I saw this on a message board I frequent and thought no problem. Afterall, I did the Shred without any problems and wondered what all the fuss was about.

Remember the Sinus Infection from hell? Ummm I haven't really exercised since then. sigh

So I start the video, hmmm no problem, get to 32 and think I am going to die. I continue on. My chest and throat feels like I am having and asthma attack. Not that I have ever had one but I'm assuming this is what it would feel like. It hurt and burned. I did finish my 100 in 5 minutes but my form at the end was less that desirable. Still a squat is a squat, right? I thought so too.

Baby steps.

ps- you do 100 in 5 minutes. I finished but I'm pretty sure I wont be able to walk tomorrow.

I have a personal trainer!

How lucky am I? She is gorgeous, thin and very peppy. I have been counting calories and exercising since the New Year and it's going very well. After reading about the 30 day Shred exercise video on a message board that I post on I decided to give it a try. Someone posted links to it on youtube. I really enjoyed it until my Personal Trainer decided to tell me I was doing the moves the wrong way. It is much easier for a 7 yr old to do bicycle crunches than an adult. She thought the squats could be turned into a new dance. I got hit while extending my arms on the floor. It was fun but I think I may have to fire her.
If you are looking for a good exercise video than I would recommend the 30 day shred. I enjoyed it and my inner thighs burn today. Thats a good thing, I guess.
