    And today I completed my final Phase 1 Workout 1 (or at least until I do another round). Yippee!

    Day 4 down. This one seemed MUCH easier than it did on Monday. I know I didn't magically get more fit in three days but it's nice to feel like I'm making progress.

    I signed up for a mud run in April so I may end up subbing running for the cardio video at least part of the time. As long as I'm burning calories it shouldn't matter how, right? Any thoughts on that?

    As long as you burn more than you eat, you will continue to lose. Running burns roughly 100 calories per mile. The strength workouts will really benefit your running too. Good Luck!

    I'm doing my second round and the first time I ended up doing my c25k on cardio days. This time I plan to do my half marathon training on those days. I think as long as it's cardio then awesome! :)

    I finished day 4 today and boy am I sore but it feels great!!

    I just finished this disk for the second time on week 2. Increased the weights from 5's to 8's. I also completed all of the planks and the bicycle which where my problem areas. Two more workouts left in week 2. I am scared of disk 3, I will preview it tonight. Good luck everyone, if I can do it anyone can also!

    Magnificent progress in only 2 weeks! I bet it feels great to be mastering the moves you considered to be "problem areas"! If you can progress that far in 2 weeks, imagine what you will be capable of by the end of the 90 days!! keep up the great work!

    did W1 yesterday (start of week 2) and i think i found some of it easier - although i do struggle with holding the plank directly after press ups!!

    or maybe i just didnt put in as much effort?!

    hard to tell - my HRM battery died half way through :( sad times

    Finished this one for the third time today. I bumped up the weights to 5s and 8s and did quite well. I also adjusted the pushups to do them in regular position on an incline instead of the "girlie" ones because I think that will get me to real pushups faster. I did much better on the bicycles, although I did have to stop and do upper only for a few seconds.

    I'm finding that I am able to go much lower on the squats than I thought I could and I just need to suck it up and push myself to do more than I think I can if I want to get results. Since I have this mud run coming up, I have GOT to get stronger and I can already feel it starting to happen. Yay!

    Brilliant progress in all areas! You will be seeing some amazzzing changes soon, i'm sure!!
    ps i use similar weights to you - 8.8lbs (4kgs) and 5.5lbs (2.5kgs) - and i find that they really "make" the workout.

    Dawn, you are such an awesome cheerleader! It is much appreciated. :)

    This one's in the books for me. I had to take an unexpected off day so I'm planning to do workout 2 later today so I can start fresh with the next round on Monday.
  • I was able to do those quad stretches at the end without losing my balance today! Woohoo go JMBR buddies! I am sweating like a pig...so glad my husband went in to the office today lol

    Phase 1, Workout 1, Day one done (plus cardio) back to back because I am not a full human being in the morning, so I can only do it after workout 1. The weight training part seem to be reasonable (and by reasonable I mean challenging but somehow doable). The cardio... there were parts I was like, "are you nuts?" i.e. running man or the last one in which she trips and falls... but I am glad I did it :) 1 down, 89 to go ;)

    Hi! Just getting started, Workout one is done! Coming off of 30 Day Shred, I thought it was pretty easy. Famous last words, I know it...:)
  • Woo hoo - back for my second round of JMBR and am excited! I've been away from Jillian for only 3 weeks and already this workout was waaaay harder than it ever was before. Feels so good to be back! Anyone else just starting?
