jillian michaels body revolution

I won't have the money to purchase this until February but I'm dying to do it! Are you guys doing it the full 6 days and only resting once or do you have a different way of doing it?

Are you in the UK? I bought the first month (phase 1) on iTunes for £5.99. I am going to buy the whole kit in a couple of weeks when I get paid. Obviously you don't get the diet and the resistance band but I know how to eat and I picked up a cheap band on amazon.

I have done my first week, didn't find it too tough, and I did 5 days in a row, had a day off because it was Friday and I was tired, I don't think it matters too much.

I just watched the promo for this video series. I'm on Level 2 of Ripped in 30 (my first Jillian Michael's DVD) and I recognized a lot of what I've done on Ripped in 30 as part of the Body Revolution moves in the promo.

One thing I don't like about RIpped in 30 is the 2 minutes of cardio mixed in with the strength training (I prefer to do cardio in a workout separate from strength). I see that in Body Revolution there is a separate cardio DVD for each level. Does that mean that the 30 minute workouts on the other 3 DVDs for each level are primarily focused on strength moves?

Wish I'd have seen the Amazon dea! Can I ask what people paid for it if you got it as an Amazon deal?

There is cardio mixed in, but only one minute per circuit total, just enough to get the heart rate up. It's really not bad and it gives you a little "break" from the really crazy moves lol!

I just started week 3 and so far I just take the one day off. Because she rotates the muscle groups you don't feel as worn out (compared to 30ds which is the same everyday, my body did not like that!). Since it's only 30 minutes I feel like I need to put the time in everyday.

I bought it through Amazon last week for $69.99, I think I saw it come through on Facebook maybe. I'm starting the DVDs tomorrow and previewed a couple. The strength training circuit has some cardio intervals included.

Thanks much for the info on the cardio.

I'm still working on Ripped in 30 but I like Jillian's approach. The Body Revolution sounds exactly how I'd like to work out! I like the idea of a strength-based program and I like the idea that she rotates the upper and lower body workouts. I have to keep a watch on Amazon to try to snag a good price on this!

Good luck to all of you who are working on the program now!

I'd love to join you guys. My package should arrive Tuesday so will either start Wednesday the 15th or Monday the 20th.

Sounds like fun. I will start tomorrow. I have had it for a year and never completed it. Let's roll!!!

Just started week 4, I am liking this program and that it changes every 2 weeks.

I just finished week one and today is the start of week two! I sometimes sub the cardio dvd with going to the gym and using either the stair machine or the elliptical instead.

Woo hoo, day two of week two done. I actually got up at 6 am to do it, and feel brilliant that I don't have to do it when I get home tonight. I've noticed changes already. My clothes fit a little better and I feel more toned. Only 4 more days to go of this week then it cranks up a level!

I'm starting on Monday! I'd like to join too.

A question though. I'm really out of shape... Quit smoking 6 months ago and not used to exercise other than walking once in a while. Will it be too much to handle for my body?

It won't be easy, but it does start with low impact workouts and you should quickly build up your fitness. Work at your own level, and you could always repeat a week if you need to. Well done on quitting smoking, that's huge.

Thanks I've been stuffing my face with food ever since I quit, but I've planned to replace the stuffing with exercise. Let's hope I don't get bedridden, and that'd be good enough for me.

I just pulled the trigger and ordered Body Revolution. I'm halfway through my 3rd round of Ripped in 30 and feel I am ready! Is there a February group forming?

How is everyone doing on this?? I am wrapping up week 3 tomorrow!! I need to focus more on getting my eating under control- so I really haven't seen much improvement- but I FEEL better.

How many times a week do you workout with Body Revolution?

Brina487

Day 1 for me .. feel free to add me

mallyboo3533

I noticed no one has replied in awhile but if anyone wants to add me feel free too! I'm on week 5.. Well weeks 3&4 cause I did the first week of jump starting your metabolism! Which was hard! I do it 6 days a week and rest days are Wednesdays!

Jenlynn93

I am on Week 2 day 3.. Not seeing a ton of difference yet but I do feel better and feel like I am getting stronger with each day. I have done her 30DS and loved it and the results. Hopefully I will get the same results with BR. Anyone seeing inches dropping yet or at what point did you start seeing change?

mallyboo3533

I see. Inches before weightloss.. I'm not losing lots of weight but I am losing inches.. Noticed at the e d of phase one
