30 Day Shred: Natalie is a slacker!

Nicci93

So anyone who is familiar with 30DS knows that Anita does the easier, modified versions of the exercises while Natalie is supposed to be doing the advanced version.

On Level One, while Jillian is discussing lunges with Anita, Natalie is not doing the lunge only the bicep curls for two sets!

And Jillian said her girls don't cheat when she isn't looking! PFFT! Haha xD

Ha - I just pulled level 1 up on youtube to check it out, and you're right. I hadn't noticed that before. :P

StephC74

yeah if you watch for it there are several places where Natalie cheats

JulieDerda

:laugh: yeah i noticed this too!

I did notice this, and it's not cool because Jillian always talks about brining it and doing your best.

However, I believe that they do these exercises for like 8 hours in a day to get it right for the video, so I'm sure she must be exhausted.

lol i noticed 2 :laugh:

Totally notice!!!! She also comes out of her deep squat hold on level 2 when Jillian isn't looking! It makes me laugh every time!! It helps to know that I am not the only one suffering during this workout!!!!!

Natalie is in ridiculous shape though!!!! You can't have that body if you are a true slacker!!!!!!

i noticed it in level 1 as she's supposed to be doing the more advanced moved, but doesn't look as though she always is and sometimes looks like she's doing them wrong

She's hilarious - in Killer Buns & Thighs (Natalie & Anita are back in this DVD!), Natalie pushes Jillian away, and kind of 'shoos' her away several times. Cracks me up. :bigsmile: They are both in Kickbox FastFix too - Anita is pretty funny in that one. Fun to see familiar faces in the various DVDs.

I always wondered what Natalie was doing there. I figured she was in a different rhythm than Anita, so when the camera went to Anita, she thought, "Gotta change my rhythm quick!" I usually watch Natalie and I noticed at this part, I have to look at Anita, but she's in a different position than Natalie was in, so I need to hurry up and get on track with her.

Or maybe she messed up when she was doing her exercise and was getting back on track... like when Jillian almost tripped on herself on Level 1, set 3 during the buttkicks!

I noticed it also :laugh:

She also rests her arms during supermans in L3. I don't mind cuz I took that as permission to do it too sometimes! U gotta admit, Natalie has killer plyo moves tho.

In the total body cardio, my kids favourite part is when Jillian uses Natalie to keep her balance, Natalie goes "ha I didn't fall", so Jillian pushes her. I also loved watching for the "mistakes," they make everyone more human and gives me hope that I am not failing when I have to cheat for two beats.

Hahahaha yes for sure :laugh: I love that Jillian kicks her *kitten* for it in L2 though and Natalie seems to try a little harder in L3 as a result (? I think) lol. So far I like the girls in Ripped in 30 a lot more - so much more energy!

kristen6022

Yep, noticed that day 1, but she obviously didn't get legs like that from cheating so I gave her a pass...

Anita is a fox..... I think she's gone a bit too far with the body fat % tho, when she does crunches, her tummy looks like old lady skin! Anyone agree?

I'm doing Jillian's Body Revolution, and nothing has changed - Natalie is still a slacker, there are a lot more people, and Anita works her butt off. Natalie gets kind of mouthy, too. Leave the talk to Jillian!
I watch Anita all the time - she really means business - and she makes it look so effortless!
