Jillian Michaels January Challenge!

It's 11:30 pm and I just finished L1 30DShred. Really wasn't in the mood though. Have a spinning class tomorrow and then only the shred until Monday. Have to say it was harder now since my muscles are feeling it. I'll probably be a roaring mess come Monday.

How's everyone getting along? Well done doing the 6w6p. Have heard it's much harder than the shred.

Did 30DS Level 1 tonight with 5 lb. weights. It's been about 5 months since I did this workout. Kind of nice seeing old friends again. :happy:

Had to take a couple days off due to overusing my leg muscles! No fun when you cant sit or walk without lots of pain. Healing up quickly and ill be back on the 30DS as soon as possible. Congrats to everyone on how great you are all doing :flowerforyou:

neck pain almost gone, so have completed BFBM today for 2nd time. It was fun. Then went on a hour long walk with my 2 girls.
Should be doing the following for the next week:-

5.1 - BFBM - completed
6.1 - 6W6P + 3 mile run
7.1 - BFBM + 3 mile run
8.1 - 6W6P
9.1 - 6 mile run

I wish everyone luck and an injury free month.

2nd time through NMTZ. Used 5 lb weights and only set them down a couple times, actually did a few surrenders too! Fast forwarded through 2nd ab circuit and let my heartrate come down to safe level but really hit the last two circuits hard. Burned 479 calories. Going back to Burn fat boost metabolism tomorrow, hoping to get all the way through no more trouble zones the next time I try it. Have a great day all. Feel better mystic333.

I havent done Shred couple of days. Hopefully I will get to workout tomorrow. I have been working on the BL boot camp.

I just ordered 3 jillian michaels DVDs : 30-Day Shred, Burn Fat Boost Metabolism, and No More Trouble Zone.

I should get them next week. Which one should I do first ???

mystic333

Finally able to workout again. Did Day 2 last night. Still kicked my butt. Doing Day 3 after work.

Cristy_AZ

Glad your doing better Mystic! Does anyone else on here really struggle with these workouts? Tried shred level 3 today and gave up half way through first circuit, did 2 instead. Still have to modify a couple moves, but made it through. 313 calories burned. Think I'm just really worn out from two days in row of NMTZ , my arms felt like rubber, set down the weight for last half of circuit 3. Course I only have 5 lb weights.

6 week 6 pack, day 2 completed tonight after a 3 mile run home from work.

I really like this dvd it seems to last about 5 mins but its really 35! Gutted though i've lost my hrm watch so can't calculate how many calories i've burned.

What does everyone else do with the logging? do you put it under aerobics or circuit training or do you always have a hrm calculate burn for you?????????

Pitterpatter

sooooooo i just bought yet another video. The Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout. anyone try this?

ourhearts4home

I was going to start on my extensive library of Jillian DVDs this week, but my back is messed up. Once it gets back in running order I'll be doing a combo of the Shred and 6 week 6 pack. And then finishing up shred I'll add in her others again. My prize for all the work? Buying her new one to come out on March 1st!

I just managed to squeeeeeeeeeeez in level1 of 30 day shred after college before dinner and before my shift lol felt good for it tho!!!!

Kath712

Took a rest day on Wednesday - my muscles really needed it! :sad: I was back on it tonight, though. Did BFBM - 440 calories! :drinker: :bigsmile:

Cristy_AZ

BFBM 521 calories burned. Made it 5 days this week! Tomorrow is a walk day, trying for 3 miles, rest on Sunday and back to it on Monday.

I put it on circuit training. I don't have a hrm that calculates calories burned just my pedometer watch with a touch HRM, so I record it at end of each circuit and use a formula I found online to calculate calories burned. It's always lower than what MFP says, but is rather error on the low than think I'm burning more calories than I am.

Good to see everyone still here and going strong. I was ill last week and couldnt/didn't work out. I'm back today with L1 of the 30 day shred. I've decided to do another round of the shred combined with walking and biking. I think BFBM is just too much for me every day,my endurance isn't up to it, so rather than do BFBM and NMTZ and be burned out for the next 2 days I'm going to do 30DS plus extra where I can and add in the odd try of BFBM and NMTZ occasionally until I am at a point that I can do them every day. I figure a little and oftenconsistantly is better than all or nothing.
Also another part of it is time, snatching half an hour to shred is easy, finding an hour to do the others and then working up the motivation to actually do it seems to be beyond me most days.
