Morning all! Today was cardio day, and since I'm not a fan of cardio 1, I did Jillian's 6-week 6-pack workout instead. Ok....I wasn't ready for that one! Lol This is my first time doing any of Jillian's workouts and I'm already a huge fan of her dvd's. What I loved about 6-week 6-pack is that its not just an ab workout, but a total body workout, that concentrates on your core. Whew! Cardio day DONE!
Have a great Monday!
I hear you about her cardio 1...6W26PK is a great DVD. I did not finish it! I really like Jillian's style...maybe you should keep this in your rotation with this program...0 -
Nice idea... I just finished workout 1 and i'm so tempted to skip a week. I would like something a little more challenging. I promised myself that I will work this program from start to finish...I will not skip ahead, but I might add in NMTZ..to intensify it a bit...for this week anyhow! Thanks for the tip!
Dont skip. Are you really really pushing yourself doing the advanced version on the moves that have one? Just stick with it, its about preparing the body for whats to come.
I did workout 3 today and still dont get how it can be so hard! Im at the end of phase 1, last week this week, so I took a look at workout 5 and now Im actually a bit scared but Ill really push through the last 5 workouts to gain the strength I need!
In workout 3 one of the cardio moves are plie hopps. I have a pain in my hip, does anybody know of a good hip stretch that hits this part? The one in the end in the cool down doesnt do it for me.
Yes...I try to push myself with workout 1! I have even taken a liking to Omar and do what he's doing...poor kid..Jillian keeps picking on him....so I go along for the ride with him. Thanks for the heads up for next week...I'll be patient and do my best with each exercise...thanks for putting my attitude in check...0 -
I just finished my first week and lost 1.8 lbs. I didn't follow the diet plan, but just did the work out.0

They are not i Cardio 2, instead JM has you doing jumping jacks, cross jacks and effing BURPEES that I hate more then anything.
I learned to love Running man doing Banish fat boost metabolism, there simple wasnt any way around them. And if you think about it, you "only" do the workout 8 times and for each workout you only do the move 3 times, you could be way worse off!0 -
Another day of workout 3 DONE and in the books for today!

I love every ones consistency...you all have this under control.
So I caved and did a weight in Today. I was going to do it at the end of the Phase but I was so curious. Thus far from completing week 1 I have lost 3.6 pounds and lost 4.5" overall (these are the places she told us to measure at the beginning of the program). Overall I'm pleased with the results. I have been doing cardio 5X a week and not following the diet plan. Now I'll be patient until the end of phase I.0 -

That is awesome results thus far! I think I need to add-in more cardio to this program too. I'm trying to follow her program as it's designed. I'll see what the end of phase 1 results look like and then determine from there. You inspire me! 0 -
You folks are doing awesome! I just finished my Phase 1, Week 1. Moving on to Week 2 today. Can't wait to push play when I get home.
Love Jillian and her kick *kitten* attitude. She is great motivator.
Cheers to all JMBR'ers!0 -
Hi,
I just started JMBR yesterday and i am just wondering how you guys are logging the exercise on here, can't seem to bring up Circuit Training in the search bar. Help!!0 -
Just starting JMBR I am loving the program so far but am having a hard time staying as motivated as I should. I also have the 360 Navigator with the Body media FIt arm band and I've lost 4 lbs and Hope to lose 11 more by October 31st Might be being a little over expectant on that one but Gotta go big or go home right. Over all goal for 2012 is to be 150 by 12/31/12 that would be 31 lbs lost.
The work outs 1 and 2 and cardio 1 i really like so far but the meal plan is nothing something I can eat. I have tried some of the recipes and would like to make the muffins for breakfast as I am not a huge breakfast fan. (Coffee is my breakfast) but I have a hard time with the 10-20 item recipes. Stay at home mom of one with very pick eaters and the they just dont work for me. Is any one else having the same problem?0 -

I created my own exercise with the totals of calories burned I found off of Jillians website. After getting my Body Media fit arm band though I realized that I was burning less on work out 1 than i thought and way more on work out 2 and cardio 1 that her site said. I would strongly reccomend getting a heart rate monitor to keep it accurate. If not an option I would stay on the lower end of the calorie spectrum to be safe for logging just for maximum results!0 -

Have you been doing the work out followed by the cardio dvd? Might help put a little extra burn in there if you want? Just a suggestion if the time allows 0 -

You are so sweet...thank you for your support. I think following this program as designed will achieve great results on it's own. I just added in more cardio because I like Turbo Fire. I'll be doing less going forward because I'll be doing the C25K program. I'm here for you...but it seems you've got things under control!0 -
Right I am struggling a bit. I was great for the first two weeks - did all the exercises (sometimes the cardio too when I had time/energy) but I have been away with work since Saturday and have not done it although i have been ok-ish with my food (as best you can be when you are eating out for 3 meals a day). Now i am back to normality and I am not sure whether to go back to week 2 or start on week three like I should have done on Monday. I will be back and on it as of today. Well done everyone on all your successes 0

Morning everyone! Workout 4 is DONE for today! Tomorrow is cardio day and then I get to rest. Much needed.
I am really dragging this week. TOM is here and it's totally jacking up my efforts in pushing myself this week. The number on the scale is UP and I'm trying not to let it phase me. But I'd be lying if I said it's not.
I know it's probably because of TOM, but still. Ok...enough pity-party for me! Lol
Enjoy your Wednesday.0 -
I am on W2D3 and doing the kickstart diet this week (last week was too hectic). I am enjoying the diet but could not imagine doing it more than one week! Salads salads and more salads. Had steak, brussel sprouts and my hardboiled egg I forgot to put in my lunch salad for dinner last night... never thought I'd enjoy that combo so much!
Cardio is all forms has always been hard for me. I was told I may have exercise induced asthma at one point... I think I am just lazy! but this morning I made it through Cardio 1 with only some slight pauses. (I was gulping water and they started on next exercise but I jumped right in!)
My question... do suicides hurt anyone else's knees and back? I have stopped touching the ground and just reach down slightly. Not sure if I am doing something wrong... but sharp pain in knees and aching back mean 'modify'. Still running like a mad woman though!0 -
Today is Week 2 Day 1 for me!!
I am also excited about a 'couch to 5K' womens running group I will be joining on Monday mornings. As a kid (12ish) I was a runner... but stopped. Looking forward to another new challenge/change and something for 'just me'.
I am also sipping on green tea right now as opposed to my usual morning coffee!!0 -

I did have some pain mainly lower back and hips when I first started I tried to do a little extra stretching and warm baths to help until it went away 0 -

I'm with you on the scale being up today, I have been trying not to get discrouraged as well. I've been losing the same 5 lbs seems for ever now. Just rememeber that the weight lost journey isn't all about the scale it's about feeling more fit, your clothes looser and being able to push harder than you did the day before! 0 -
Well let's see today I think I would be at the end of week 2. I have been doing weeks one and two a little bit longer due to not being able to do them every day. Tomorrow I am going to do a really good cardio and then push for work out 3 the next day. I really can see I need to push harder to get this weight off because it seems that I am having a harder time controlling my eating. Feeling my muscles getting stronger tho!0

Today is W2D3 (Cardio) -- I can really tell how much I've improved in my cardio workout from Week 1 - yay! Running man is still tough, but I only stopped once today for a few secs to catch my breath. Feeling good!0

Good morning. Today is cardio day and I did a Turbo Fire cardio workout this morning. I forgot how much I LOVE Turbo Fire! I've decided I'm going to add in extra cardio to JMBR. The weight is not coming off fast enough for me and I have a lot of weight to lose. I think if I supplement with more cardio, it may help. So I'm going to do 4 days of cardio each week, instead of the 2 days that Jillian recommends. Hopefully this extra cardio will help kickstart me losing more weight! Ugh.
Tomorrow is my rest day and yep, I can't wait. 0 -

Thanks for pointing this out and you are so right! I definitely feel more stronger and fit and I can see my body shape and composition changing already. Especially in my abs! I track my measurements too, but it is disheartening to see the scale go up when you know you're working out so hard each morning. But I'm over it! 0 -
Today was week 2 workout 2 for me! Getting easier but, I'm a starting to get little scared of workouts 3 & 4 next week!
I'm sooo jealous of the woman in workout 2 that has had the 3 kids!!!0 -
Today is my 'rest' day. This morning was not a good weigh-in day, nor was it a good measurement day either. I'm up in both weight and also up in measurement, whish is very disappointing. I can understand that weight fluctuations, so I'm not too concerned with the numbers on the scale. But when I see ALL my measurements go up from last week, this is just too much. Especially when I haven't missed any workouts and I track daily. I told myself I would give JMBR at least 30 days, so I have one more week till I hit the 30 day mark.
I'm just hoping that next week will bring better results. If not, I think I'll be changing programs....0 -

*THIS* I just finished my last W2 today and have cardio this weekend (sad we are looking at rain this weekend wanted to get some big fast hikes in and enjoy foliage... I'll try) and then start W3 on Monday... scared! Especially because Jillian keeps telling us to 'enjoy' how easy these workouts are!
I just want to say Good Luck and Great Job to all of us. We are doing it! 0 -

Congrats on finishing your first 2 weeks! Be prepared for WO3 - it's challenging, but doable. WO3 has been my favorite so far! 0 -
Today marks the start of week 4 for me. I can't believe I'm almost to 30 days, and haven't missed a workout yet. This morning I did workout 3 and Turbo Fire HIIT 15. Whoa, what a combination! As of this point I'll be adding in extra cardio to this program, because I believe that's what my body needs.
Anyhow, just wanted to check in. Have a great Saturday! 0
