Hi Ladies.
Last day of level 3 for me. I am still laying on the floor after the work out but I feel that my thighs are getting stronger!
Amanda372 - I'd like to say the rock-roll does not get any easier
I nearly slipped on my last set because the cat decided to join in
Taking Monday off in readiness for Tuesday's week 4
I will say I do believe it's working for me as my jeans are not as tight and my OH commented that my legs feel harder
Belly fat coming off nicely too but I always lose weight there 1st
Keep going Ladies as I love reading everyone updates 0 -
week 3 day 3 completed. I'm getting a little better. I'm not feeling so goofy now. I still have trouble with the bear crawl and duck walk.
@amanda372- I have trouble getting up, too, but we're getting up so that counts for something.
@KilannaFit- tell the cat to join in when you're doing abs. that way no one gets hurt. Lol!
Congrats to everyone and their progress!0 -
Day 7 of Week 1...COMPLETE!! YAY!!!
I guess I start Week 2 tomorrow? Do you guys take rest days when you feel like you really need one or 1 a week regardless? At this point I'm feeling pretty strong and I'm looking forward to starting WEek 2 tomorrow! Hope I can keep up!0 -
Normally I take my rest day before I start the next week so my body can recover0

week 3 day 4 completed! I am taking a break in between weeks. At first, I did take a break during week one . I was very sore.0
-
Week 2, Day 1....Complete! But... :-/ I don't know how I feel about it exactly. I found it pretty hard. There are a couple of moves I just can't do worth a crap. The push up with with leg thing & the move called "table" something? LOL Hopefully I get better & still get in a good workout even though I have to do mostly modified right now. Actually....at some points I was left just staring at the screen like "You want me to do WHAT?!?!?!" LOL!!
I think I'll break between weeks from now on or maybe take one day this week if I'm super sore. Hope everyone has had a great Monday!

LOL! I did the same thing at the beginning of week 2 and week 3. It gets better as the week goes on. Around day 3 or 4, I could lift my rear end off the floor to do the table. LOL! I just hated all those planks. The good thing is that I can almost do a sit-up(old school) now. I lifted one foot off the floor by an inch so my core is definitely stronger.
You can do it!!!:drinker:0 -
Just finished day 1 of week 4.
I'd say if you can manage week 3 week 4 will be fine.
Most of the move require a lot of yoga type moves along with core work
Enjoyed it but felt I worked out more in week 3 then 40 -
week 3 day 5 completed. I think I finally did the table top correctly. my arms are killing me. woo hoo! no lunch lady arms.0

Thanks for the encouragement!!! Makes me feel a lllooootttt better about struggling knowing I'm not alone! LOL Day 2 of Week 2 went a teensy bit better. I still don't know how I will lift my booty off the floor to do the table thingie. I feel like my shoulders refuse to flex that way and my booty refuses to lift. HA HA! :laugh:
Hmmm...tomorrow is day 3...lets hope it's a teensy bit better than today! Everyone is doing so awesome!! Does anyone have a plan for after you complete Ripped in 30 to do next?0 -
Did day 3 week 3 yesterday. Taking a rest day today. I have 3 lbs that are hanging on. I need to lose those 3 to be in ONEderland. So I decided to give my body a rest and see if my muscles are holding water. My goal is to be under 200 by the end of January.0
-
Day 1 week 3. WOW!!! Great workout! Irá hardware, but i am enjoying it a lot more than week 2!!!
Great job everybody haven't been here for 4 days (did not exercise nor was I watching my calorie intake) but I am back in the game!!0 -
so i definitely got behind. with 6-8 hours of work a day, 6-8 hours of homework a day and a 2 hour class, plus an hour of work study, there was no way to keep up for me. but i'll get back into the swing of things come this next semester. i'm so excited to start again! i'm doing the hundred pushups workout though, so it's not a complete loss...and still checking in on here daily so i don't lose motivation and so i can still support all of you!!!
it sounds like you guys are doing awesome! i'm surprised week 4 is so much different than week 3 (in less work, i mean).0 -
Just 2 more days of week3 and then its on to week 4! Eeek homeward stretch! I'm absolutely exhausted and I could hardly do it yesterday because my muscles were so tired, even though I had 2 days off! Well at least I know it is working
Didn't eat great at the weekend and beginning of the week so that's probably effected my results. Going to work my *kitten* off for the next week though! 0 -
Its ok at least your still exercising and still checking in! Wish you well in school!so i definitely got behind. with 6-8 hours of work a day, 6-8 hours of homework a day and a 2 hour class, plus an hour of work study, there was no way to keep up for me. but i'll get back into the swing of things come this next semester. i'm so excited to start again! i'm doing the hundred pushups workout though, so it's not a complete loss...and still checking in on here daily so i don't lose motivation and so i can still support all of you!!!

I rotate through Kickbox Fastfix, Shred-It with Weights, Ripped in 30 and 6 Week Six-Pack. I love her DVD's....why drive to the gym and go through all those machines, etc. when you can get up and do it right in your living room! I did martial arts for years and the best weight to lift is yourself! Good luck to everyone out there and remember to have one day of rest a week (as Jillian recommends). I'm on week #3 and feeling fantastic!0
-
Sorry for not motivating everyone. I took two rest days. My son is taking a night class and had a scholarship meeting this week.
I have completed week 3 day 6. Tomorrow, I'll start week four my triceps are scared. Lol!
Congratulations on all of our hard work! Let's continue to kick butt and take names.0 -
Forgot to check in yesterday! Done with week 3 day 3&4!! You ladies are doing great!!!0
-
<singing>Week 4 Day 1 completed! Oh...my...goodness! The moves are insane, insane and I loved it! I actually did a burpee. Wool Woop! Unfortunately, I couldn't clap for myself because my arms were wobbling.0
-
Just started week 4 and I love the workout. But I've got to say my heart just isn't in it anymore. I don't know if maybe I'm just getting bored of working out in the bedroom and need to mix things up or what. Anyway gonna finish this week and then join the local gym and supplement that with a jillian dvd, rather than the dvd being the ruling workout. I dunno...just feel a bit disheartened!0
-
I was away in Istanbul (not Constantinople) from Thurs-Sat and then spent Sunday catching up on sleep so haven't worked out OR been very good with food - set menu at each meal!!! Oh - I did swim on Saturday morning so that is something.
Back to Jillian today - Week 3 - it was tough but I was able to do the table/tricep dip a bit better today strangely. The hopping - my leg just above my knee (not the whole quad) feels tired when I try to do this so end up mixing hopping on the spot to jumping on two feet. Hopefully one day my legs will have enough willpower to hop in the cross.
Walked at lunchtime.
Jillian again tomorrow morning.0 -
Day 1 of week 4. I can't wait until this week is over b/c for 1 I am kind of getting bored w/ this dvd, and for 2 I have 1 more lb to loose to be in ONEderland. I might do 30ds again, or I might try extreme shed & shred again. Haven't decided.0
-
Week 4 day 2 & 3 completed! 3 more to go. I'm looking forward to moving on to one of my other Jillian DVDs. There's a thread started that's mixing up the different ones. I will try that next. next I think three days on one, then three on another. I have too many of her DVDs.
Let's keep kicking butt!0 -
2 more days and I'm done! Don't know why but I've just become really fed up of this DVD. Looking forward to getting on the treadmill next week. I Think I'm going to do 6 week 6 pack next. Might watch the dvd later and see what it is like.
Where is the thread that combines jillian workouts? That sounds good 0 -

It's still in the Ultimate Jillian Michaels Challenge, but I believe it's called 30ds & 6w6p Together. I have 6 week 6 pack, No More Trouble Zones, a yoga one, and one with metabolism in it. I've never finished any of these. I even have one or two others that are still in their packaging. I have a problem buying stuff and not completing.:blushing: I can't buy another dvd until I complete all of the ones that I have.0 -
1 day left! wooo! I've got loads of her dvd's too and just don't know which one to start next! Definitely going to take a look at that group though, thanks 0
-
Congratulations to those who are almost done, great job!!!
Skipped two days
done with week3 day 5 yesterday so hopefully I can do day 6 today; ill check in later!
Already wondering what DVD will be next. I'm thinking 6w6p abs. I would like a group though to be more accountable. If you guys know anybody who is starting a group that includes JM's DVD please let me know. I know I saw someone start a combination, but I want to go through each DVD individually then ill do some combos, anyway let me know of any groups!!!0 -
Week 4 day 2 completed this morning. I definitely feel this is 'easier' than Week 3 although I can only do about two Superman moves with weights before I drop them and complete the move without them.
I have 6 week 6 pack and only tried it once. Maybe I'll try that one next. Brenperez18 - just start a new thread in this group :-)0 -
All done!! So relieved and certainly feeling it! I'm doing 6 week 6 pack next and combining it with my new membership to the gym! Going to go hard from now on 0
