    @up2me2lose20 : Congrats!! :smile:

    Well, I took yesterday off as a rest day (and a "blah" day), so I had to do 30 DS L2 this morning and BFBM this evening. I did it!!! I can't say how much I love BFBM. I just love the endorphin rush you get from that. I'm beginning to not like 30DS so much in comparison after falling in love with it during the 30 Day Shred challenge. :laugh:

    Confession: I got kind of lazy with the squat jumps and scissor jumps today. :embarassed:

    Hope you all had a great day!!! :flowerforyou: Go us! :laugh:

    Hey, ladies!!! Day 13 is done (unless I've lost track of the numbers or can't count :laugh: ). Felt good during NMTZ today. I managed to get it done in the morning.

    What are you all planning on doing on the rest day tomorrow? I'm thinking of going for a hike (even though there may be snow here). I have cabin fever and NEED to get outside, even if it means layering myself in clothing and braving frost bite to do it. :laugh:

    For some reason I really really dont like NMTZ lol After 25 mins Im waiting to switch it over. Today was one of those days, I did 25 mins, then mixed up my exercise with zumba,yoga and indian dancing.

    :)

    Hope everyone starts off the week well. I know I will ( I just found out my sister is having another baby) Yeyyyy!!!

    I just plain old rested too. Well, I did some shopping and housecleaning, but still...no real exercise. THe hubby asked if I was feeling okay. :)

    How are you all doing QTZ? I did only 1/2 of each circuit today. Was going to do the entire last circuit as that's set up a bit differently, but I ran out of time.

    According to JM, Quick Trouble Zones is supposed to be NMTZ without the floorwork... but that is a bit vague. Some of us are just doing NMTZ up to the last two floor circuits (ending with the cooldown, still, of course). If we didn't do ANY of the floor exercises then it would be really, really quick. I feel guilty not doing at least some ab work. :laugh: I think that doing half of each circuit like you did still gives you an awesome workout, though!!

    I've done part 1 of today's workout (30DS Level 1). I'm trying to get my hubby and kids off the Wii so I can have my t.v. back to do QTZ!!!! :grumble: I get grumpy when someone is in the way of my workouts. :laugh:

    Hope everyone's had a great day!!

    @ileana, congrats to your sister and your family! What wonderful news :D And I hear you on NMTZ :)


    As for myself, today I had really sore, achey legs :frown: Owies, kinda felt like growing pains we would get as kids. So I only did Quick Trouble zones today. Hopefully after a good sleep they will feel better and then I plan on doing the first level of the shred with tomorrows workout (Shred lvl 2) See how that goes :)


    Hope everyone had a lovely day! Here we had some crazy weather...random snowfalls then blue sky and sun..more snow, frozen rain then sun!

    Wow, time flies even if we are getting our butts kicked by Jillian! :wink:

    Since we are half way through I think this question is good to ask...What exercise in any of the Jillian workouts do you feel you most improved on?

    For myself I think it's the Plank Twists, the ones where we are in plank and bring your knees in one at a time and twist to the side. At first during the shred when those were introduced they were tough for me. The holding in plank part and gettin in the full twisting motion, but now I feel like I can totally rock them!

    How about you? What's your most improved exercise?:flowerforyou:

    Hi Ladies! I've been doing the 30 day slimdown and wow I am sore today. I only did Level 1 yesterday because i wasnt feeling too well. Today I did Level two and NMTZ quick Workout. I'm definitally going to be sore tomorrow. Does anyone have the yoga meltdown? I know a lot of you are talking about doing 6 week 6 pack and shred it on the next challenge. Yoga meltdown would be a great dvd to do that with too.

    That’s a good question! :smile: I agree that those plank twists have improved for me. During 30 DS, I also had to take a 5 second break. Not now! I’ve also improved with the jump ropes. I used to have to stop for a few seconds b/c my legs used to hurt so badly. My push-ups get better and better! One of my most hated moves was the bicycle crunch. I’ve improved with those, too. I would say that that is my most improved exercise! :bigsmile:

    Hi!! I do have the yoga meltdown, but I haven't tried it yet. I could definitely use a good stretch, though! A 3 dvd rotation the next time might not be a bad idea. We can make up our own.... Actually, I'm also dying to get Ripped in 30 and try that!! ..... So...
    So many workout DVD's so little time.....

    I totally agree!! I'm stressing about what to do next!!! I'd like to stick with the group, but I'm torn!! Ahh!
