    I didn't feel very confident after doing it the first time either. It will get better. :happy:

    Finally got to workout 3. It was much harder than 1 and 2, but still doable. I have to work on form quite a bit. Had a hard time trying to do some of the moves and look at the tv at the same time. Lesson learned. Watch a new workout BEFORE you attempt to do it. :laugh:

    Hello!

    50% is better than 0%! You're showing up for your workouts and trying your best, and that's what it's all about!

    it's not about perfect, it's about effort. And practice makes perfect!

    Just did WO3 for the first time. I have a feeling I'm gonna hurt tomorrow

    my arms were very sore, thanks to the cable chest press :sad:
    well done for getting it done!
    This one was difficult for me with my different cable as well. I'm thinking I need to find hers, or one like it, to use rather than the one I have. :grumble:

    I felt like mine were to short to do the moves correctly. :/ Did anyone find cables that worked for them?

    Nope, I just use my 3kg dumbells (6.6lbs) instead. Can't be bothered faffing around with a cable that is too tight for me to move!!

    I did this for the first time and had trouble with the cables as well, mine didn't stretch like theirs so I totally botched that one. And alot of the exercises were pretty tough for me. The crunches were awkward, laying on my side like that is a little painful so I deft didn't keep correct form. The crescents were near impossible for me to do with correct form, my knees are too weak. I got through it and I will keep working to do better but seeing how it's only in rotation 3 more times, I doubt I'll improve before phase 1 is over lol Geez now I'm nervous to see workout 4 tomorrow =/

    This was a tough one for me. Most of these moves were new for me, so I'm glad I'm challenging my muscles in a different way.

    Ok, second time through was a lot more manageable. pleasantly surprised.
  • I just started workout 3 last night. Was a bit of a struggle but I think I will get there... Anyone else in this spot as well??

    Just did WO3 yesterday. I still can't do more than 2 military pushups, I didn't like the plank down onto your forearms at all. And that crab move made my arms burn sooo bad! I am definitely sore today. Looking forward to WO4 though! :smile:

    Wow, this workout is killer! The front of my body is obviously much weaker than my back. Seems WO's 2 and 4 are so much easier for me than 1 and 3.

    Anyone else feeling the same way?

    Tonight was my 4th (and should have been final) time doing Workout 3. I felt I managed it better than I had been doing, but still not great. So I have decided to repeat a week next week, making Phase 1 last 5 weeks rather than 4. I don't want to move on too quickly and run the risk of achieving even less in Phases 2 and 3. Having spent most of the first 3 attempts at Workout 3 lying on the floor close to tears, I surprised myself tonight and was able to get through a lot more than I could before! :-)

    I'm on the same week as you:) Each week my workouts are a little out of order due to my work schedule. I did Workout 4 tonight. I have to do 3 & 4 one more time each. I'll do one on Friday and the other on Saturday. Then it's time to move on to Week 5. I am NOT a fan of workout 3. My pushups suck! I keep trying but doing just 1 is a KILLER!!! I've had surgeries on both shoulders so I don't know if that is why I can't do them? Good luck to you.

    WOW workout 3 is a killer!!! Almost thinking of adding an extra week to this phase... I didn't get most of the moves down... I kept saying to her... 'are you kidding me!!'

    LOL, yes, this was me during my first round. Also, I threw around the F bomb MUCH more. I'd be like "**** You Jillian"!

    Ladies, After 9 months of working out to Jillian and eating decently I can promise you that you WILL be strong and you WILL be able to KILL all of these moves. My first round of JMBR I had the jello arms, I did many of the moves modified or with no weights at all- and I still had amazing progress. During this second round I do the plank-ups as fast as Jillian!!!! By no means have I outgrown this program. It is still crazy challenging. But I have a confidence in my strength and stamina that I only dreamed of during my first round.
