Day 18-Killer Buns and Thighs Level 3

Day 18-Jillian Michaels Killer Buns and Thighs Level 3

This workout had some pretty tough moves.  For this series, Jillian goes through 4 main sets, not including the warm up.  Each set has 5 different exercises, repeated twice.  There were some good plyo moves, and core work.  The warm up was easier than level 2 and the last set had some old school fire hydrants, but the middle was tough.  Unfortunately, My heart rate monitor stopped picking up after about a half hour, so my stats are off.  So for 40 minutes, I have a recorded 205 calories, but that's probably for 30 minutes.  You're done doing the difficult stuff just about then so I don't know what to tell ya.  Average heart rate 124, max 158. At the end of the workout, Jillian does give a motivational speech.  It puts you back in perspective, reminding why you want to push yourself. 

It's easy to want to exercise for a variety of reasons.  Most women to do it because we want to look better, including myself.  What we have to remember is that skinny does not equal health.  Healthy is an all encompassing word that addresses our complete body.  How is our strength, endurance, stamina, energy, happiness?  We are better when we are healthy.  Let me repeat that.  We are better when we are healthy.  Healthy is not equivalent to skinny.
