I’ve been doing this 30 Day Slimdown program for a while now, and it has really gotten me back into working out again, and more importantly, a fitness routine. Before I got back into working out again, I was thinking about a way to get back into it and how. I realized the best way was to get into a workout program, such as the 30 Day Slimdown. If I were to just say, ‘I’m gonna get back into working out again,” and just do a Jillian Michaels DVD, with no real plan, it wouldn’t be as motivating to me. I have done this in the past, and it proved correctly. I wasn’t motivated, and just stopped after the 2nd time I did the workout.
So, 11 days into the program, I really feel that I am sticking to it quite well. I had to do some tweaks, like swap rest days due to unforeseen situations, but that’s ok! I feel that as long as I am sticking to the workout plan, I’m making progress. Something is better than nothing, right?
I also thought about the fact that since the program is a 30 Day program, what will happen after the 30 days? I definitely don’t just want to stop working out after that, and these types of programs kind of set some kind of expectation that once the program is done, it’s done. I look at it as, getting used to a workout routine. I read somewhere that it takes about 28 days to get used to a routine, so I hope that holds true for this!
