Today was my first day of week 3 which included workout 3 as well as cardio 1. Even with both workouts I only burned 446 calories BOOO. Workout 3 was good it was a little step up from workouts 1 and 2, but definitely still manageable! There wasn't a single second during the workout where I thought I couldn't handle it or couldn't breathe. The bottom line is that workout 3 is still VERY beginner especially if you've had experience with JIllian before! Excited to do workout 4 for the first time tomorrow!0

Today was my first day of week 3 as well. Congrats to you for being so in shape because workout 3 kicked my bootie! I have not done a lot of Yoga in the past so I definitely had to pause and back it up a few times trying to get it right. The hardest move for me was the crab move of all things. I made it through though and am proud.

Anyone following the 90 day meal plan strictly? I'm having a hard time finding all the ingredients. Also, can we still eat the foods from the kickstart plan?0

I "tasted" workout 3 today. I had done my elliptical but was itching to see how bad it would be. She mentioned that we'd be doing more jumping and honestly, I just don't jump. I'll do my best but it's going to be a double sports bra kind of thing. It wasn't as bad as I expected, but it will definitely challenge me more than the 1/2 did. I can do push ups now, I can't remember ever being able to do pushups!0

Myeatman, I believe you can do the kickstart meals anytime during the 90 days. I'm still using some of the recipes. Congrats Roander on the push ups! I about died the first time I did workout 3 but it was a lot easier the second time I did it.0

Did day one of Week 3 yesterday. There were definitely a few things I have to work up to, and it didn't seem so awful at the time, but today everything hurts!0

I haven't ordered the program yet, but plan to after we complete our taxes. Does she suggest or require you complete 2 workouts a day? I thought the "sell" of the program was 30 minutes a day? Or are you adding some additional workouts?0 -
I'm choosing to do two workouts a day because I feel that I'm at a higher fitness level and doing only one workout per day I hardly burn any calories. So yes the original program is only 30 mins a dayToday was my first day of week 3 which included workout 3 as well as cardio 1. Even with both workouts I only burned 446 calories BOOO.

If you choose to do the first week "Kickstart" you will do two workouts a day for a week - one AM and one PM.0

Week 3 / Day 3
I've never had my whole body hurt before. LOL0 -
I start week 3, workout 3 tomorrow. Can't wait! Today is my rest day, so I previewed workouts 3 & 4. Oh my! 0
-
I did week 3, workout 3 today... ouch! I think my arms might make me suffer tomorrow lol I didn't preview it so it took me a few moments to figure out some moves (which is fine because I had to stop to catch my breath lol) I definitely felt it was a step up from the last 2 weeks... Ack... they were easy for me... today, not so much. My HRM says I burned 355 calories though, which is 75-100 more than it told me I burned in week 1 and 2... Hmmm0
-
I did workout 3 yesterday and this morning did workout 4. These two are definitely a step UP from workouts 1 and 2! I woke up this morning and everything was sore. But still had to push through workout 4. I'm looking forward to only doing cardio tomorrow! Lol0
-
I did Week 3, Cardio today... mid way point of the week and my everything hurts lol I'm glad today was cardio day (can't believe I said that!). How are you all doing this week?0

Ok,I started phase 1/week 3 workout 3/'Day 15 today of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution.She promised the workouts would get harder.Well,she delivered on her promise.The plank going down on one arm then coming back up.Then doing the other arm was the hardest for me.I'm weaker in my left arm.I will have to work at that.But over all I feel great. Fantastic workout and music.Have a happy day everyone.We can do it.:happy:0

Finished with phase 1 and ready to move onto phase 2)) 0

Ok I did phase 1 week 3 workout 4/Day 16 today of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution.I liked it better because of the weights.It had less push ups.I'm not too good at push ups and using my own body weight.I'm better with weights.But I'm am getting better and stronger.I am getting a little sorer(did I say that right LOL) with workouts 3 and 4.I'm am really enjoying Jillians Body Revolution.:happy:0

I have trouble with those down/up plank things too! And the Hollow Man, forget it. I'm up, no I'm down, I'm up! No wait...can't hold it, I'm down. I have to double up my exercise mat to do the sit on your hip, pull your legs up to your arm bit. The floor really hurts!
Week 4 starts today.0 -
How many calories on average are you burning for workouts 3 and 4?0
-
I really liked workout 3, but man, I'm 24 and MY HIP HURT doing those side crunches. I'm going to double up my mat next time, too. I burned about 273 cals for workout 3.. we'll see about workout 4 tomorrow! I'm loving this program... 0
-
I did 3 and 4 yesterday and burned 297 each. I think that means I'd burn more with 3 than with 4 alone, since I did 4 after 3. if that makes any sense! lol.
I like workouts 3 and 4 a lot better than 1 and 2. I think 1 and 2 are better for those who haven't been through ripped in 30 already.
I'm thinking I might do a lot more 3 and 4 during my first 2 weeks and just do some 1 and 2 here and there? Not sure yet.0 -
Whew! Just completed Workout 3 for the first time. Much of it was certainly manageable, but with all the various plank moves plus the crab, my wrists are quite sore! I think I need a mirror close to the ground so I can make sure I'm in proper form with some of the moves. I love a lot of the yoga influence, as one reason I'm so excited to tone up more is to improve my yoga practice.
All around: good job kicking my butt, Jillian.0 -
First time doing workout 3 today. All i can say is WOW, it really kicked my butt. I thought I was doing pretty good with workout 1 and 2. this is definitely a step up. I'm already sore. A little scared of what workout 4 has in store for me in the morning. Doing the side crunches really hurt my hips, even on a mat. I may trying to doubling up my mat like others have suggested.0
-
Ok,I'm doing workout 3 then 4.Then 3 then 4 again in a row like that and if I can get the cardio in on Thursday I will.But I want the toning in first.I'm going Friday to my sons wedding and I won't be able to workout untill Monday again.I am not and will not watch what I eat this weekend sorry.I'm not turning down wedding cake LOL.But I will be right back on watching what I eat and my workouts on Monday.Have a happy day everyone.:happy:0

I'm burning about 300 calories with 3/4. I'm 5'1, 153 lbs and I have a HRM.0
-
wow... workouts 1 and 2 were pretty easy for most of us, i think... but workout 3 was a little more challenging, and workout 4 - whew. those one legged dead lifts are hard and terry pulls, i'm like "what the heck am i doing?!" but i am sore today for the first time in the entire program. i feel my abs burning from those inchworms.... when she says do them double time, do it!!! you will feel it!!!0

It kills my hip too! the first day it was ok, but the second day, i guess it was bruised a bit so I could barely do them!
I also have a hard time with the tree pose. I think it would help if I had either socks or shorts on because the skin on skin makes it pull and burn. lol. my fault for exercising in my unders.... lol0 -
I missed the last 2 workouts (not cardio) of Week 3... Today would be the day I start Week 4... soooo, should I back track and do the last 2 workouts of Week 3, possibly both today, cardio tomorrow... and resume on Saturday or... Just start Week 4 today and try to forget about missing the last 2 workouts of week 3, maybe adding in a little extra cardio?0

Hmm.. last week I decided to eat junky, so I did Workout 4 in the morning, then did Workout 2 that night and I've been super sore ever since. If you doubled up, you'd be doing Workout 3 twice today and Workout 4 twice tomorrow, right? I think you could do that, but you might be sore tomorrow Or you could just do each of the workouts like normal, then add cardio in tonight. I don't think it REALLY matters, but I know for me, I'd like to account for every workout as it is supposed to be, so I'd wanna get the ones I missed in. Good luck! 0
