Jillian Micheal's body revolution challenge

Hey. Im buying Jillians Micheals body revolution (roughly £110) on friday when i get paid. For those who dont know Jillian is a trainer from the biggest loser tv programme, and this is her set of fitness dvds and diet plan, which you complete for 90 days (3months). its suppost to work really well.

Is there anyone whos completed or tried this? does it work? any advice?

    There is a group just for this program here. I am in week two- I like it a lot. I am sore. Nice part is she shows you how to make it harder so you can use again with more challenging methods. Not doing diet though- just the workout.

    ahh okay thank you. im new to this so i don't really know how it works. would you say its worth the money? and also do you find it hard to motivate yourself to exercise everyday with the program, or is it quite easy to maintain?

    I think so (but a friend gave me mine so it was free). I have two little ones and I can do it most days during naps. The workouts are like 30-35 minutes. You just need basic dumbbell sets (I have 3,5,and 8lbs). You alternate the workouts enough so it isn't boring. My butt and thighs are weak when I am done. I will do measurements later this week for my first two weeks. It is fun and doable for me. I just wish there was a fitness test to see improvement at the end.

    okay sounds good that its only 30 mins a day. im definitely committed to doing this. Yeh fitness tests would be a good idea but im sure once your done you'll just be able to tell you've got fitter in yourself. really excited to get started now.

    I've completed it. It's AMAZING. I honestly got better results from it than I got from P90x. If you stick to it and stick to eating right you will definitely see MAJOR changes. Unfortunately I'm a dummy who didn't take progress pics BUT I can promise that you won't regret your purchase!!! :)

    I am in week 6 and have also had AMAZING results and better than P90X - YOU WILL LOVE IT!!! I lost 11 lbs the first week and now am at 17 and counting.... The fact that it is only a 1/2 hour a day makes it very doable and if I have time in the evenings, I throw in another cardio just for good measure! It's awesome! My profile pic is the difference in one month. Just fyi

    The fit tests aren't really necessary - you basically do the same workout 4 times in 2 weeks and you can do it easier and better every time - It's amazing how much you improve in such a short period of time.

    I just started and I love it so far!

    Good Luck!

    However I'm following only the exercise not her diet plan - curious if anyone else has tried it that way.

    I have just started phase 2. I love it! It really kicks my butt. I lost 13 inches in phase 1 and 13.5 lbs. Go to community and and look up Jillian Micheals Body Revolution 2013. It is a great group and everyone is at different phases so if just starting thats OK.

    I am doing my own eating plan and not hers. Sticking to the 1200cal though.

    I am currently on week 7 and let me tell you...this is when it starts getting serious!! DVD's 7 and 8 are no joke. Matter of fact, I think DVD 7 is more difficult than 8. I like feeling challenged and it is definitely pushing me to my limits with all of the shoulder and chest workouts. Love it!!

    Love JMBR. lots of people repeat the programme several times over. I'm on my 2nd round of it so I think it's well worth the money.I paid full price but have seen copied discs being sold on ebay for £20.
    If you're totally new to exercise I'd recommend doing her 30 day shred first.

    I'm on week 5 and really like it so far. I've lost just over 8 lbs so far and feel a lot more toned n my thighs. I've lost at least 2 inches off my waist. I am not following her diet plan. I am sticking to around 1200 cal/day and more on days when I need to eat back more of my exercise calories. I hadn't done any type of exercise program prior to this besides occasional running. The program is tough, but manageable. I'm feeling very sore today from Mon and Tues (workouts 5 and 6) and I love that feeling knowing I am making progress! One of the great things is she shows you how. Modify, amp up the workouts by adding weights so you can make it more challenging as you get stronger. I have 3 kids and I stay at home with my youngest two- the short 30 min workouts are the just the right amount of time for me. Plus I run 2-3 miles 3-4 days per week. I'd recommend Body Revolution to anyone!

    Did anyone do before and after pictures? I took some yesterday and posted them on the Motivation forum. In reading reviews, I know many people get toning benefits even if they don't lose a lot of weight, so I figure the photos will help me see progress even if the scale doesn't.

    Amen to this!! People need to stop re-starting these topics.
