RE: 30 Day Shred with Jillian Michaels DVD

RE: Each of three progressively harder 20-minute workouts cycles among segments: three minutes of strength training, two minutes of aerobics, and one minute of abs. (During one aerobics segment, Michaels says she wants you to work so hard that you're "gargling your heart.")

SO TRUE!

THIS=RESULTS

TRX - Suspension Training

The TRX is amazing for working out on the road and in non-traditional places (hotel room, at the beach or on a hiking trail - anchor TRX to a VB Post, Lifeguard Stand, Tree or beam) since it weighs less than 2 pounds and folds into the size of a shoe. I highly recommend this method of bodyweight training for people of any fitness level...

Hot Tip: Use the word "gift" in the affiliate code section at checkout from fitnessanywhere.com and you'll get a free door anchor. :)

BTW - got my parents using TRX and they love it too!

TRX vs Redcord

I have tried both TRX and Redcord - they are very similar since both systems are using straps and suspension. But Redcord is fastened in the ceiling, not the wall. This gives much more flexibility and a wider range of exercises.

I highly recommend suspension training, but Redcord is by far a better option than TRX.
