Does Jillian Michael's "off counting" bother you?

I guess I'm letting my OCD get the best of me, but does it bother anyone else how on her 30 Day Shred AND Ripped in 30 she is not equal on the number of reps? Or does anyone even notice? I only notice because I will count how many reps of an exercise I am doing. For example, on the first set of an exercise she will have you do 14 reps, then when you come back for the 2nd set you do 17 or 18. It just bothers me for some reason lol.

YES!!!!! lol I notice this every time! It's mostly on the strength training that she does it. Very annoying!! Then again she is just getting on my nerves anyway! Day 8 Level 1 and I can't listen to her tell me "I know it's hard" lol- shut up Jillian!! :laugh:0

I can't stand that woman, so I can't do her workouts. She's not nice.0
-
haha.. just as I was doing 30DS this morning, I thought of this.
bothers me as well. 0 -
lol Yes!!! I count and have noticed this. Because I know where it's the worst (being so far off), I'll do my own to make it even. lol
Another thing that irritates me, is where she says these guys never cheat while I'm up here. The one does!! She's with Anita explaining something while Natalie is half-a**ed doing the exercise...just moving her arms, not doing the leg part. I'm like, turn around, you'll see they cheat, too! lol0 -
She is pure evil!

I am glad she gets on someone else's nerves...I turn the tv down the whole way and do it with headphones on. LOL0
-
she goes by minutes though0
-
I have to hit mute as if I hear her say "you can't phone it in" I want to throw something at my TV. 0
-
I haven't noticed but now I know my OCD will get the best of me and i'll obsess over it lol. I do hate though when she says "just a couple more" meaning 10 more reps, 10 is not a couple and when you feel like you are dying and you get the motivation to push through "a couple more" I find myself only getting 5 more because of what it does to my mental determination. Just wait until there is actually a couple more to say anything. Same goes for when she says "a few more" a few more is 3-5, not 15.0
-
Oh yes, I notice it. And I have a problem with the moves not always being in time to the beat of the music, lol. So I lot of the time I'll just mentally tune her out and do my reps etc. to the beat I'm hearing... as opposed to what I'm seeing She doesn't bug me though (yet). My child thinks she's funny - hangs on her every word, lol. 0
-
Agree with someone above, she isn't very nice. Is it sad though that I feel like she's expecting me to quit, so therefore I want to try harder?!?!? I have an illness apparently.... LOL0
-
Sometimes she'll say, "Ok, just 3 more" but will only do 2. I noticed it in Shred It With Weights. It's very annoying.0

LMAO!!! I noticed that too! And now I see it every time I watch lol. Are levels 2 and 3 as bad?? lol0 -
You're all just jealous...How is she evil and whose problem is it that you are all OCD? I expect you find the dvd's too difficult....0
-
Nope, doesn't bother me. Nor do I want Jillian to be all nicey nice, that would annoy me more than any tough talk. Not to say I haven't called her a few choice names. But, that's because I'm sore. Not because she or her off counting bugs me. All I care about is does it work.0

Lol, she's not evil. But when you do a DVD day after day - the same one over and over - you can't help but notice off-counts, every little detail, etc. Jealous of who?!!0 -
I love her and would LOVE to workout for her..0
-
K glad to hear it bothers some others too. Of course it wouldn't bother EVERYONE. Like I said it gets the best of my OCD, BUT I love her dvd's nonetheless. I just overlook it and keep going. I might try the muting her trick.

This is exactly what I was going to say. That line got old quick. Please get a thesaurus Jillian! LOL 0 -

If I was jealous of her, I wouldn't have bought the DVD in the first place. I do find her annoying but this is third time I'm doing this. I've made it through in the past...just find this works to lose inches. Too difficult? Nah...if it was, I wouldn't be doing it.
OCD...yep, you bet I am. If we have to name "whose problem," sure, I'll take the blame. I'm used to it. LOL0 -
lol Yes!!! I count and have noticed this. Because I know where it's the worst (being so far off), I'll do my own to make it even. lol

I thought maybe Natalie stopped doing the exercise because she didn't want to distract attention from Anita...
Is there a way to go straight to the workout without having to watch the "Hi I'm Jillian, if you don't know me you should, and here are my friends" intro, etc.? When I'm ready to do it, I want to start pronto!0 -
You guys are scaring me!!! LOL I'm heading out tonight to get the 30 DS. I'm not a huge fan of Jillian's but I love the workouts.
I'm (thankfully?) not OCD so I probably wouldn't even notice some of these issues -- but I don't think it's a matter of jealousy (quite harsh to say IMHO) to notice them. Kudos to all of you for working so hard -- I hope to be joining you starting tonight 0 -

OMG, I so notice this too! LOL!0 -
I love her at the moment but am only on day five of level two. I do feel slightly sad for Anita, she seems to get the bum deal while Natalie gets all the compliments. Works so well so can put up with hearing her saying 'you don't get these abs for free' while I am virtually sweating blood!0

Wow. I was just doing a workout of hers this morning and the women in it were not in sync with the music. It made me crazy and I couldn't watch, but had to keep my own tempo.
I don't think she even counted reps-- just made sure that you did the exercise for a certain length of time.
Funny you should post this

Well put!!! She may be 'mean' but I take it as 'good mean'! She inspires and gets you to work by irritating you or by tough love...you decide what you want to call it!!!0 -
I put on music and mute her out so I cant hear her :laugh:0

This is what I do. But I have to say that I would love to have just one week with her training me.0 -
