You would think that life with two small children would not require the 30 Day Shred, because this kind of life is already the 365 Day Shred. Apparently, chasing around after two tiny crazy people was not enough to whip this mama's bod into rock star shape. That is why I now have Jillian. (Plus, Jillian was on sale at Target and I had a gift card. Woohoo!)
Usually I do my shredding during afternoon naptime, while Savannah naps and Chelsea has "quiet" time. The other day, I tried to shred during Savannah's morning nap, which meant Chelsea was wiggling around underfoot the entire time.
I give you now the abridged transcript of the 30 Day Shred plus preschooler:
During push-ups:
"Don't climb on my back!"
During crunches:
"Don't touch my armpits!"
During shadowboxing:
"WATCH OUT!!!"
Think of all the extra calories I must be burning by yelling WHILE shredding! "Yelling While Shredding." Could be the next big thing.

OMG. Do we have the same life? I tried to get Stella to do a dance workout video with me the other day. Not fun. Do you think that frustration burns calories? Probably not. And the bummer is, that it's funny, they are such great kids, interested in everything (like armpits), but it sucks that we can't just DO something for ourselves once and awhile. They grow up fast though, so I guess it's "Yelling While Shredding" for now.
yeah, ginger, i have to admit it was pretty funny. chelsea was trying to copy all the moves and she just has no coordination. her version of arm circles was like dog paddling, the jumping jacks were so difficult and baffling that she was reduced to whining and writhing... and i think laughing while shredding might be even better (think of the ab workout!)
You SHRED at mommying!
jl
thanks, honey!
