Join us for Jillian's 30 Day Slimdown.... (April 1)

Happyoceangirl

It's a new month, what better time to make new commitments and see them through?

Today is April 1, and Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Slimdown is ON! What is this exquisite torture, you ask? :laugh: It's a combination of Jillian workouts - including the 30 Day Shred, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism and No More Trouble Zones.

I have personally done each of the DVD's, but never in combination. Looking forward to Jillian kicking my booty, yet again.

I am on day 3 of the 30 day shred and thinking about maybe adding her new yoga workout into the mix. If you are going to do three of her workouts I can't think of one reason not to try two!

SexyIsPainful

video on demand (exercisetv) has all but no more trouble zone and banish fat...... you can use the workouts from there.

Mschelle -thank you for posting the plan there for all of us to refer to. Will make quick reference easier.

I'm not sure what "Quick Trouble Zones" is - has anyone done this before and know?

Dragonfly11

Day 2, easy, breezy...25 minutes...you can do it...it's about 200 calories that you body will convert from fat/sugar to energy and burn

I am subbing level 1 for level 2...also will do 40 minutes on the elliptical *fingers crossed* (my ankles muscles are so sore)...need some low impact today

Yesterday, I dld level 2 and a 5 mile walk/jog because I ate the popcorn and raisinets at the movie theatre...don't ever eat movie theatre popcorn...small popcorn has 50 fat grams and I ate half; plus, raisinets. I thought raisinets would be healthier with the raisins....ha, think again

I have a goal to burn 3500 calories this week...woo hoo....wish me luck

Dragonfly11

I was just looking at the schedule -- uhhhh Day 28 is going to be a beast!!! 12 circuits!! Does it have to all be at the same time or can we do QTZ in the am and BFBM later in the day???

Kim - I have an issue w/ rasinettes too - they are delicious especially w/ the salty popcorn - Hang in there!!

I have done this once before and sometimes I broke them up and sometimes I did them together. I based it on the schedule for the day and how to squeeze it in.

Also, when I did this before...I didn't lose a lot of weight...but, lots of inches

Point is, take your measurements, so you don't be disappointed...GET READY FOR SOME CURVES

mschelle

OK I did NMTZ today since I skipped yesterday (sore foot), I figured I'd kind of double up with the NMTZ and call this day 2 :laugh: Plus, I've been doing all these disks for a few months now and L1 doesn't feel like enough of a workout for me (especially since I'm going out to dinner tonight! :drinker: )

So I'm still going to call this D2 done!

I think I may be in i've got the Biggest loser on Wii and Ms Michals is my "avitar" trainer. Does that count?

I think you can probably modify the program to work like that. Here are the parameters:

Shred workouts are ~20-25 minutes of circuit training, alternating cardio, weights, and abs - total 3 circuits + warmup and cooldown

NMTZ is all weights, also circuit training (non-stop) and is about 45 minutes. I think it's 7 circuits + warmup and cooldown

BFBM is all cardio, all circuit training (non-stop) and is also about 45 minutes. I think this is also 7 circuits + warmup and cooldown

None of these workouts are easy; you really have to push... and if you're like me, you should be drenched by the time you're done :laugh:

Hi peeps!

Day 2 (Shred level 1) done! I like that this starts out a little slow and gives a bit of time to work up to the hard core workouts. I should have my oomph back by the time we get there.

Tomorrow is NMTZ.. I may have to take short breathers in between each circuit - but am determined to do it.

I'm just wondering if everyone else is hurting too??? WOW~~~ i knew i was outta shape from having two kids but... WOW.. really. that bad?? LOL!! I can't wait to see the results instead of just feeling them!!

Dragonfly11

Hey Slimsters,
Checking in for Sat. DH wanted to go walking this am so I got in 3.5 miles outside to start the day. When we got back he went to work and I subbed Shred L2 for L1 ( I just did L1D10 yesterday) and I also did 20minAb Jam. It was a great workout day - had a lean shake from GNC w/ some blueberries for fuel and had a real good day. Went to dinner w/ some friends and didn't do too terribly bad. I had 10 fried mushrooms (fried ... i know ~ but the rest of the menu was mostly burgers fries potatos nachos etc - it seemed the least offensive - not sure on the cal count so I just logged 2x what mfp has for the cals - - that should cover it.
I also bough some new vitamens at GNC and they are awesome!! My old one's just felt like they quit working since I stopeed smoking ~ weird , huh??
Anyway, haven't found NMTZ yet - I didn't get to walmart today so I might have to sub BFBM for it tomorrow - we'll see.

Hope everyone has a fantastic rest of the weekend,
J
