Open Letter to Jillian Michaels

Tuesday, April 2, 2013







Dear Jillian,

You're mean. Very mean.

But that's exactly why I recently purchased two of your DVDs -- 6 Week Six-Pack and 30 Day Shred.

Even though I never really watched the television show The Biggest Loser, I was still well aware of your reputation as TV's toughest trainer and I needed some of your tough love to reach my fitness goals.

I love the 30 Day Shred DVD because it's challenging but never makes me feel like I'm about to vomit up my heart like the 6 Week Six Pack workouts do. But as you constantly remind me while yelling through my television screen, if I want a six pack I have to earn it. So I guess I need to just get used to feeling my heart in my throat.

I believe this DVD will work because it acknowledges that crunches alone won't give me awesome abs. Intense cardio is in order as well, and these workouts serve up plenty of that. I like that the workouts include exercises to strengthen the back muscles as well, which is so important for everyday life.

So I'll be staring at your mean scowl (and amazing body) five days a week for the next six weeks. I plan to do some extra cardio and weight training each week as well. Here is my workout regimen for the next six weeks:


Monday -- 6 Week Six-Pack DVD 
Tuesday -- 6 Week Six-Pack DVD and upper body strength training
Wednesday -- Spinning
Thursday -- 6 Week Six-Pack DVD and upper body strength training
Friday – Spinning
Saturday – morning jog or 1.5 hours of Just Dance; 6 Week Six-Pack DVD 
Sunday -- 6 Week Six-Pack DVD and upper body strength training


I'm not even allowing myself a rest day. That's pretty intense, right? I hope you're impressed.

I'm sure you're not.


Love,
Javacia "No Days Off" Bowser


This month I'm participating in a blogging challenge with my friend Carol at GirlGadabout.com. This was my creative twist on today's prompt to write a product review.

  1. If you ever have the urge to add a little yoga to the mix, holler at me. I'm always trying to convert people. :)

    1. I used to be really into Bikram Yoga. I may try to get back into it. Any studio recommendations?

  2. Sometimes when I'm at the gym and hating it, I imagine Jillian screaming at me like she does on "Biggest Loser." Sometimes, it actually works!
