    Happy Hump Day everyone...I did week 3 Cardio 1...man yesterday I upped my weights to 12 lbs and man do I feel my back muscles today from the bent over rows and I can also feel my legs (mainly upper)...

    How's everyone doing?


    WOW!! 12 lb weights....that is great! I only use 5 lbs...you are really strong. I have been running everyday as well,but might take a break I don't want to burn out!!

    Have a great day!!!

    Well I did Supreme 90 (I usually call that workout P90X's little sister) before this and just got my 12's as I wanted a little bit heavier ones for a few of the moves. I usually pull out all my weights from 5's to 12's and use according to what workout that I think I can handle. I don't think I would call myself strong but I think I have decent upper body strength for the most part.

    I made it through one round about 6 months or so ago, I believe I only did 60 days. Started back Monday. I am determined to complete the whole round this time. :)

    Jump right in...you can do it!

    Since I couldn't do cardio yesterday cause I was so busy I did cardio and workout 3 today. Exhausting. I was screaming at jillian at the end haha
  • Its day 17 for me...and workouts 3 and 4 are hard but yet very doable....for the first week I gained 4lbs and am back at my starting weight now, so hopefully with the extra muscle I start going down at a steady pace! I have been doing the workouts and looking forward to them each day until I did 3 and 4 lol...they are kinda scary, so I know I'm definitely going to see awesome results with my upper body after these two weeks!! The first two weeks I definitely notice my clothes are baggy around the legs, my legs toned up a lot and my arms and shoulders, stomach not so much..lol Also I'm doing body by vi for my meals...

    Well I didn't get to workout today but I am going to U-Jam/Zumba tomorrow for 1 1/2 hours so I think I will make up for it. The scale was not nice to me today either, a 2 lb gain...trying to not worry about it but need to look at my calorie intake and see how it looks...so frustrating. I don't like how Jillian's program calls for so few calories and then working out you are netting too little. I am going to try to keep around 1350 (what MFP calls for) and make sure I at least net 1200 after workouts and keep my carbs in check...

    Did workout for today. Have been eating sort of bad lately, so the scales not budging... Trying to get back on track.

    U-Jam? that sounds fun!!

    I did Workout 4 yesterday (forgot to post). Still hate that move that you go down to the knees (I have bad knees from dance) and wasn't using weights at all until yesterday, so I guess that's a mini accomplishment.

    Going to do cardio 1 today (for the last time - switching to 2 next week cause I want to) and maybe a 30DS workout if I am feeling up to it.

    Have a great day ladies!

    U-Jam is so much fun...it's Zumba to modern music and then the last 1/2 hour is Zumba...last week I burned over 600 calories. I figured today is Cardio 1 so this can replace it.

    That is an accomplishment to add weights, that move is hard. Good job for keeping up

    Myfitnesspal tells me to eat 1200, I just can't keep to that few calories. if I workout that day I always eat 1800.

    Rest day! Normally I don't take it as a rest but I think I'm on the cusp of being sick so I'm going to rest it up!

    Ventured out to try to find heavier weights but they were all sold out at all the Canadian Tires (on sale this week) grumble grumble! I will check out Walmart tomorrow.

    What size weights does everyone use?
  • tangie82

    I have 5, 8, 15, and 20 lb weights. The 15/20 ones are adjustable, so they are bulky and hard to use for some of the moves. I use 8s mostly and 15s when I can. Will probably get some 12s.

    I have been using 5's and they just aren't cutting it anymore. I am going to buy 8's and 12's tomorrow hopefully.

    I have 2's 5's 8's 10's & 12's. I have been using mainly the 8's, 10's & 12's

    Do you think jumping from 8's to 12's will be too much?

    Today I enjoyed a nice hike with my kids. I have never taken my daughter on a hike (my boys like hiking) and she did really well and wanted to hike some more but it was 38 degrees out there, this makes me happy so we can take her on longer hikes and do some more...it was nice getting outside today

    Sounds like a great day! I was out on a hike with my dog as well!

    I don't know if that will be a big jump in weights. Probably, maybe I will get the 10's as well.

    Did workout 5 today and omfg triceps. Ow. She also adds more jumping and I found it a bit harder then the others but I am really tired today. Keep it up guys! Still haven't found heavier weights. You use bands a lot in workout 5.

    Samantha have you looked at amazon.com? I usually can find decent price weights there.

    So I just got done with week 4 workout 4...can't believe we are almost 1/3 the way through...

    Thanks! I got some 10s at Walmart today they must have restocked. I skipped the 8 and went straight for the 10s. Tried them today and seemed ok. Probably will be sore tomorrow haha

    Did workout 6 today. Loved it!!!!!!

    Did cardio 2 today. It was fast paced and instead of 1 minute of each move there was double the moves and a move per 30 seconds. Not hard moves but just fast!

    As strange as it may sounds you are making me a little excited about Phase 2!

    I did workout 5 this morning before school and hated jillian so much haha. Way too many crab moves. My arms die during this workout!
