Hi Everyone!
I'm really excited about this group and I think everyone will see some great results! I thought I would post this thread so we could talk on a daily basis (if you'd like), about the dvd, or anything you'd like to talk about!

    Hi everyone :)

    This is my first challenge. I'm going to do the DVD this afternoon. I went to the gym this morning and did 30 mins of cardio. I'm a little afraid of Jillian LOL. I did 30DS and it really helped with my endurance and strength. I never got to level 3 though. :blushing: I'll let you know what I think about 6W6P later on today. :smile:

    Hi Ladies,

    I just finished doing 6w6p (only the second time I've done it ever!). I really got into it and according to my "HRM" burned off 300 calories. I just want to warn those of you doing it for the first time to be careful and really focus on the moves and make sure you are doing them correctly; because I find that there are a lot of movements that you could really hurt yourself if you did it wrong. Also, make sure you do the modified version if you are having a hard time. This is not an easy workout, but please don't give up on it! If you follow through and do the six weeks I think you will be very happy that you did! :heart:
    P.S. If you are really worried about doing it the first time maybe you should watch it first.:wink:

    Just finished! I kept up with it pretty well. I can do ab work til the cows come home, BUT, the burpees, caterpillars and side planks are a completely different story. I am going to have to work myself up to those!

    Yeah that is my absolute least favorite too. Maybe we could figure a different exercise to do during that time? Or just keep on trying, we'll figure it out. :heart:

    I know exactly what you are talking about I felt the same strain....you want to be really careful with that because you can really hurt yourself. Do the best you can doing the exercise without straining your neck, that is what I'm doing. You can modify the exercise to your limits too. I think you will still get a great calorie burn from the dvd even if you don't follow it step by step you know?:heart:

    I am guessing it requires mucho arm strength which I do not have!

    Hi ladies. today was my first day doing 6w26p for the challenge. Im aiming for 5x week
    thoughts on this is that I sweat alot but dont find any of the moves that challenging with the exception of the side lunge with the weight to the side. Im really hoping to see results on this.

    Second day in the bag! I am going to get a heavier weight (only have 2lbs right now) but I found it challenging today. Did anyone else notice that Jillian seems a lot "nicer" in this workout than in 30DS? More supportive and postive, IMO.

    First day completed earlier. Hmmm, I really want to like this workout but.... I think I am just being a control freak and don't like it when I can't get the moves right first time. I'll be sticking with it however as I know Jillian gives a good workout. I did 30ds after as I have 2 more days until I finish that. Is anyone else combining 6w6p with another DVD? I think I am going to alternate Banish Fat Boost Metabolism with another JM DVD along Sid 6w6p. Well done to everyone that's started!
