edited October 6 in Fitness and Exercise
Many of us did the 30DS through the holidays. I wanted to start a thread for many of us who are wanting to stick with Jillian in 2012. You don't have to be doing one particular video, any of her workouts are great. I just wanted to have a place for all of us to get motivation and support. I got to L2D7 of the shred and now that the new year is right around the corner I have decided to change things up a little bit. I suffer from boredom sometimes so tonight I did RI30 for the 2nd time this week. I have decided that I'm going to do a little of both videos for the next month. It will keep me from getting bored, plus her RI30 is a killer workout. So, anyone who needs motivation/support, here is a place that we can check in with our progress and our fitness plans. If anyone wants to add me as a friend I will do my absolute best to give the best motivation that I can. Let's make 2012 our year, with some help from Jillian.

    I did 6 Week 6 Pack today and Level 1 of the Shred. Tomorrow I'm going to try RI30 and based on what you said, I'm excited! 6 Week 6 Pack is not a lot of jumping around and my knees are thankful. My legs are so sore right now...not sure what I was thinking when I decided to do the shred too. Once I'm motivated, I really go for it - its just getting there.

    Good job lady!!!!! Way to get back at it after vacation...I think I like the idea of changing things up because not only does it keep us from getting bored, but it will also make sure our bodies can't get used to the same workout over and over. This is definitely going to be our year.

    You're on! I started a schedule from JM's site a few days ago that combines 30DS, NMTZ and BFBM. Total killer! :laugh:

    Awesome Jules! Glad to see you sticking to it!! Good luck to those of you continuing with your shred. It was a pleasure shredding through the holidays with you.

    6 week 6 pack is not bad on the knees? Sometimes the shred really does something to mine... Is 6W6P all about the abs or is it other areas too?

    Awesome, I like the idea of this thread! I just tried Shed and Shred for the first time today, and prior to that had restarted 30DS. I also have and rotate Ripped, NMTZ and BFBM. Yoga Meltdown and Shredded with Weights I've looked at, but haven't been too into trying (so if anyone has them and has an opinion let me know :) ).

    Thanks...your forum was just an inspiration to me this past month...I just wanted to keep it going. Keep on with Jillian with us....we can all do it. And to the newcomers, I know all of us who have been shredding thru the holidays are awesome at giving support. It's a good group of people to have on your friends list. I have friended each of you that are new to the threads. JVMill you are awesome and thank you for showing me Jillian, I think I'm hooked. I love her workouts. I just did RI30 tonight plus a little extra cardio. I'm thinking I'm going to do 30DS Level 3 tomorrow.

    I have a bunch of JM videos that I will be doing more often since I can't run as much as I'd like to right now due to snow.

    I mix it up between 30DS, RI30, NMTZ, BFBM, KB&T, 6W6P, and I just got Extreme Shed and Shred.

    Welcome to the thread. Just keep us all updated on how/what you are doing.

    I am doing D9L2 of 30DS tomorrow. Would love to be part of this group. My plan is to work through the JM dvds in 2012. I really love the Shred, and have a bunch more in line waiting their turn.
    Here is to an awesome year! Feel free to add me.

    Hi! I'm starting the year out (1-2 months) will Jillian. I am combining 6W6P, Shred it with Weights, and Ripped in 30 along with some other cardio. I have already done all of Chalene Johnson's workouts (love her!), but I need something different to finally get me through my plateau. I'll do my best to at least post here even if I don't always respond. Busy, busy!

    There are a few Jillian Michaels related groups, but why dont start a new one, called Jillian 2012? Makes it easier, the group makes it possible to have several threads.

    I did a schedule where i combine Killer buns, No more trouble zones and Ab ripper x, will be doing it the next two months.

    will be right there with you :) Going through lvl 1, 2 and 3 untill februar, and then will see if I start it aaaall again after a trip I'm taking - probably because I like it, in a masochist way :P

    I might restart Shred or buy a new one after this first week (going on the truck with hubby this week), not sure what exactly but I AM starting one of them next Monday.

    Sounds good!


    For those who've done RI30, what weights did you use? I used 5 lbs with 30DS. Should I just use the same?
  • On 1/2/12 I am starting Extreme shed shred and 6 week 6 pack Jillian michaels DVDs and some cardio at the gym! :smile:

    Sounds good! Thanks for starting this thread. I just bought two more of her workouts with my Target gift card I had gotten from Christmas. Can't wait to see how it goes! I am going to start with Ripped in 30 TODAY!

    6 week 6 pack is not bad on the knees? Sometimes the shred really does something to mine... Is 6W6P all about the abs or is it other areas too?

    There is a lot less jumping around so it is not nearly as rough on the knees as 30DS. There is one side plank move I couldn't figure out and when I tried, I felt like it could hurt my knee so I just substituted the side plank raises from L3 of the shred. It isn't just abs but the focus is definitely there. Like the shred, she mixes in full body moment and cardio. it goes by pretty quickly (its 30 minutes) and I think it makes a great add on to another video like the shred - if only to give your knees some rest days.

    I did Banish Fat Boost Metabolism and 6W6P this morning. I was going to do No More Trouble Zones today but we got a few inches of snow overnight and I was shoveling for a while...and I'm a little tuckered out right now. Might do it later...but that one really kicks my butt!

    Hi! I'd love to join please :happy: I've been doing Jillian's workouts since August. I've done 30DS twice, straight through, Ri30, and am now alternating between 6W6P & KB&T's. Also have NMTZ & BFBM to try, so I'll be working with her dvd's for a while. LOVE THEM! They have changed my body like nothing else. I usually do 3 x cardio sessions at the gym each week too.

    Really looking forward to getting completely toned up with her dvd's this year :bigsmile:

    Everyone is welcome...I think I will start the Jillian 2012 group. I will send out invites soon.

    Count me in! I'm totally planning on starting Tuesday with "Ripped in 30". However, I'm getting over a rough stomach flu bug and not sure if I'll have enough strength to keep up w/Jillian in two short days...

    Either way, RI30 starts this week! Since I have KB&T and 6W6P I think I'll add them into my routine three/four days a week. I'm super ready to kick it in high gear and see some major progress. It's amazing how a little success can be so motivational!

    Can't wait to check back here and hear about everyone's success with Jillian!

    Hello Fellow Jillian followers :) I still have a week's holidays, so my workouts are a bit out of normal routine, but today I got to gym and did Spinning. Will do KB&Th's tomorrow morning :bigsmile:

    I have sent out invites to everyone for the group. It's called Jillian in 2012. I'm trying to get us to congregate over there so that we don't lose our threads amongst all the others.

    i've been doing nmtz and recently got 30ds. i watched it the other day and have to say, i'm a bit intimidated. i don't do high impact and it looks like it could be a little hard on my knees. what do you guys think?
