So girls we are on to week 3 and hopefully this week I will be able to join in!! :-)

Monday 21/01 = NMTZ
Tuesday 22/01 = Rest
Wednesday 23/01 = NMTZ
Thursday 24/01 = NMTZ
Friday 25/01 = Rest
Saturday = NMTZ
Sunday = NMTZ

You will notice that I have put NMTZ for the whole of this week.

The reason is because it has no impact e.g. jumping around, in which I could potentiall jar my back!! So while I am easing myself back into it I think weights whilst still doing moves that cause a sweat will be better than doing high impact jumping workouts.

If I start to feeling better mid-week I might shake it up a little but I want to be better safe than sorry!! :-)

    Still going strong on the regimen I started on Jan 4th. This week I plan to take it up a level...I'm definitely glad I decided to do it for 2 weeks instead of one cause I actually feel ready to move to the next level.

    Monday - 30 Day Shred Level 2
    Tuesday - Ripped in 30 Level 2
    Wednesday - No More Trouble Zones
    Thursday - 30 Day Shred Level 2
    Friday - Ripped in 30 Level 2
    Saturday - Cardio (Body Revolution Cardio 3 or a 2-3 mile run)
    Sunday - Rest

    I plan to keep this routine for the next two weeks. I'm so loving it and mixing up the workouts has kept me from getting bored.

    For me I think I need to reevaluate my diet....I'm still not dropping pounds like I thought I would but I still loosing inches. If anyone has any suggestions please share. I dont eat horrible but Im not on a strict "diet" and just try to stay under my calories according to MFP.

    Hope everyone is staying motivated!

    What I have been doing is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I get in one hour of JM and then on Tuesday and Thursday I get in 30 minutes. I do the first listed excercise for each day first and then I do NMTZ or BFBM until I hit the hour or 30 minute mark... Weird I know, but I never said I was normal...

    Hope you ladies are doing well!

    Sarice - 1lb of muscle is small in size than a 1lb of fat!!

    So with all the exercise you will be turning the fat into muscle, that muscle will still be the same weight as the fat (hence lack of weight loss) but it will be smaller than the fat in mass (hence the loss of inches)!!

    Sometimes you will find that an olympic athlete who is slim, toned and lean will be the same weight as someone you would look at and think they are overweight - that is because of this!!

    If you are losing inches then honestly I wouldn't worry at all about the weight loss - if you look at my post I say I do not weigh myself I only do measures because I think that measures are a more true reflection on the hard work and the loss!!

    Keep at it, keep positive, it is obviously working !! Come 3rd February your inches will be done and compared to when we first started you will see a difference no doubt from what you have said above!! The number on the scales I personally don't think matters that can fluctuate so so much!! And like I said the muscle vs fat!!

    Stay positive :-)

    I like what you do with the making up of the 30mins or 60mins mark by doing a circuit or two of either NMTZ / BFBM - good idea!!

    It's been a stressful week. I've been working late every day trying to get my work ready to transfer to co-workers because I'm moving to a new department on Monday. I have two kids sick with influenza B. I got a flu shot but I think its still trying to sap my energy. I made Tuesday a rest day because I had unexpected visitors that didn't leave till 2AM! (family) And by Friday night I was just too exhausted. So I did my Friday workout Saturday morning. Hopefully that will make up for missing a day.

    Monday - NMTZ - KA
    Tuesday - Yoga Meltdown L1 - rest day instead
    Wednesday -rest
    Thursday - 30 DS L1 KA
    Friday - BFBM - another rest day
    Saturday - NMTZ - did BFBM and 6W6P L1 instead
    Sunday - 30 DSL1 and L2

    For those of you who have done killer buns & thighs, how did you like it? I was thinking of getting it and watched a preview on youtube and it seems like there's a lot of balancing work required for some of the exercises, which gives me pause.

    Hi I have done Killer Buns & Thighs I only have level 1 because I recorded it from the Fitness Channel (as I have done with level 1 od Ripped in 30)!!!

    I recorded KBT quite a while back now and I didn't like it initially (but that was when I was less fit and not as strong) however, now having got stronger and fitter I really do like it!!

    So maybe it is one of those workouts that is better once you feel like you have got a bit better at the other ones!!

    Look out for it on the fitness channel - or go to their website see if you can watch the video on there!! Give it a go before buying it!!
