From doing Jodie's 30 second slim level 1 a while ago (ok, a few months ago- I know it's bad, my wobbly bits are even more wobbly since then),I knew as I put the workout DVD on that I would have to put my fat girl pants on, suck it up and get on with it.
I had one minor setback- I had no dumbbells but it was all good as I improvised and used candles instead, which I figured was better than nothing.
I find that with most workout DVD's, it helps if there is a nice trainer to focus on (I don't mean shoes), and Josie has a pretty fit trainer in all senses of the word. It just helps to help me keep focused and want to get off the sofa and push myself.
The workout is 20 minutes short. I say short as it was over before I knew it. There is a circuit which consists of 30 seconds of sweat followed by 30 seconds of active rest- be warned it's not really resting, it's just a bit less intense, but before I had time to groan it was into the next move.
The killer move was the mountain climbers. It involves being in a plank position, then I brought my knee into my elbow, repeated with the other leg, then I brought my other knee into my chest and repeated with the other leg. - I've made it sound really complicated but it's not, it's actually quite enjoyable.
'If your abs are not hurting, you are not working hard enough' said the trainer James. My abs are still burning, so I've patted myself on the back.
There was one circuit which we repeated twice, I swear I was finished before I knew it and was disappointed as it had gone so quick- though I didn't put on the final level (3), as I'm saving that to look forward to (I'm not even being sarcastic), next week.
Thank you Josie and James for another kick arse workout, see you next week!
