Yesterday should have been w/o 6 for me... but I did a 5km run with my C25K group and then had my session with the trainer at the gym I just joined... I did a 1hr weight lifting session... soooo, too tired for JMBR yesterday!!

Back at it tomorrow, I'm using today as my rest day. (my body is telling me it needs a rest day, and I don't want to get injured from being too tired)

Poeticmoe - yeah I disliked WO 7 and 8 as well. Moreso 7 because of the lower back probs.

Cali - now that you mention it, I noticed I've been having back spasms since Saturday, when I started workouts 7 and 8. Could it be from workout 7? I never thought of that, but I know when I did workout 7 again yesterday, my back spasms started again later in the day. Hmmm....

For me, I chalked up that injury to poor form and weak ab muscles (which support the lower back). Heat definitely helped - got one of these heat wraps. I also changed my posture - instead of tucking in my tailbone, I relax it and let the end of the tailbone curve out like it's supposed to. That alone releases a lot of tension.

However, with all the plyo in Phase 3 (rockstar jumps for days) my feet are hurting. I think with the weight loss, my feet have also gotten smaller, so I need to get more supportive sneakers.

I didn't do JMBR yesterday (was supposed to do Cardio 3) since I had to get to the World Series game, but I did plenty of walking quickly to/from the train and going up the tons of stairs to the cheap seats. I'm so sore today, I'm going to get rest and face Jillian tomorrow.

Rest day yesterday indulged in some nice food and a little bit of wine (first drink in over a month!)

Back to workout 5 today and it was so hard can definitely feel the difference from when I eat good and abstain. However I am going to enjoy this week and suffer through the workouts!

Workout 8 done and in the books for today! I can't believe this is my last week of phase 2. Wow

My first Workout 7 and 8 are in the books. I was petrified of 7... its definitely hard but good hard. WO8 involved some coordination that I am lacking! Achy today and that's good.

I am jealous of you heading towards summer. We are heading towards winter and today is a big windy rain storm that is taking every leaf off the trees! They've pretty much shut down the state today (all schools, gov't offices closed... of course my office is open, but hey I have a job! The drive to work was scary with slippery wet leaves and pine needles covering the roads. It will be depressing when the beautiful leaves are gone.

Its the start of another great week... Jillian is making us stronger and slimmer! Go get it!!!

Just need to drink way more water!

I'm nearly half way through and so happy with the changes in my body already. Hubby noticed a big difference and he was away for the first phase so he's seeing it fresh if you know what I mean. Can't imagine what it'll be like at the end.

Yes I struggle with getting enough water too. It's "fall" here in Northern California, but it's still in the 70's.

Awesome that your hubby is noticing the changes!

I started week 9 today. Wow what a workout! I was really impressed though how much I could push myself to at try everything! I have to say one thing I love about this workout program is that you change it up every 2 weeks and the further you get the harder it gets! I plan on doing it again from the beginning when I am done and am excited to see how much more I can do the next time around!

So last week didn't happen for me at all! I did wo 7 on Monday and that was it.. I kept trying to motivate myself but just couldn't get it together... So I am repeating week 8 this week, and I am determined to do it.. I also want to get back into my evening walk/run. I know I will and I'm not giving in to my laziness... Have a good week everyone.

I agree with you on this and that is what I also love about Body Rev. I think I'm going to do the program again too, but maybe start at workouts 5 and 6 instead of at the beginning. But I also want to start Chalean Extreme after Body Rev, so I'm still not sure. Decisions, decisions...Lol.

Man am I feeling the after effects of workout 9 today! I can feel it in my shoulders more so then I have ever felt it before!

Okay..so I am on Week 10..did the workout 9 again last night. Was really hoping some of those moves would be easier....DIVE BOMBERS??? Say what?? Still cannot get that one! I am thinking I would love to see a warrior 3 pose again! LOL....
I actually attempted to stay on the extended arm for the side planks pushups..and was able to do those...(big surprise there!)..
I didn't really take pics...and honestly do not care..feeling stronger every day!!

We got this y'all!! :flowerforyou:

"DIVE BOMBERS"??? OMG, I don't even want to know what type of move this is! On second thought, let me enjoy these last workouts 7 and 8!! Lol

Good-bye WO8, I won't miss you! Lol Done with workout 8 this morning. Cardio day tomorrow. Phase 2 is coming to an end...!

Lol Poeticmoe! I feel the same way about w/o 5&6 (except I actually liked #6).... I've heard that 7 is brutal... I'm nervous but I guess I will find out tomorrow morning!!

I was thinking of doing Chalean Extreme too... but I've joined the gym here and am going to give Stronglifts a shot. I'll be sad when JMBR is over... I enjoy our little group!!

Jillian dives right in with workout 7. That first circuit is BRUTAL! Once you get through the first circuit, you can do anything. Let us know how it goes.

I'll miss our little group too! I'm sure no matter what program I do next, I'll still check in here.

Officially half way through wooo!!! Had to do w/o 6 and cardio 2 today to catch up but you know what it wasn't that bad.

Day off tomorrow then on to 7!
