No more trouble zones

Does anyone here do No more trouble zones? I alternate it with some of the other workouts like 6W6P, either level 1 or 2, or otherwise with Banish fat, boost metabolism.

I do! I alternate it with running. I like it because I find some of her other dvds have too much jumping around for my liking.

I really get good results with this workout. I can already see much more definition to my muscles.

belle19822000

Me too!

I see definition. Quite different from 30DS. I alternate NMTZ with other jillian videos, but I grew to love NMTZ soooo much, that once, when I planned to do RI30, lvel whatever, I played NMTZ by accident. I noticed something's not right by the half of the video, smiled :laugh: and kept going!

Today was day 2 of NMTZ for me. There aren't many people talking about this video on MFP, unlike 30ds.
I recently finished 30DS and was really impressed/pleasantly surprised by the results - I lost about 14 inches overall and really saw a difference in my before and after photos. Hopefully NMTZ will help me tone up.

How do you log it as exercise? I feel like I still get a decent calorie burn, even if there's not a lot of cardio; I'm not out of breath quite like 30ds, but the workout is longer....so I log it as 300 calories, total estimate.

Also, how often do you do it? I'm going to try to do it 3 days, then 2 days of Shred, and repeat.

Kidostud

I just log it as "circuit training, general". I love this workout, but will get bored to tears if I have to do it everyday. So, I do it every second day and on the other days I alternate between 6 weeks 6 pack and Banish fat, boost metabolism.

I did NMTZ yesterday and am sore!!! I have been training for my first half, but wanted to also get some weight training into my workout routine, so decided to start with this dvd. I'm a huge fan of Jillian and have all of her workout dvds. Didn't realize that I'd be so sore today. But at least it's a good sore, though!

Kidostud

Yeah, if you're sore, it means your muscles had a good workout. I'm very low on energy the last couple of days and today only managed to do 6 out of the 7 circuits.

i fell in love with jillian's workout after buying the 30ds. i really want to try this no more trouble zones and the yoga meltdown.
with her help, my will and running, i should be in the best shape of my life so far

janjangoodeats

I haven't tried her yoga video yet, but I got great results from the Shred and am already noticing a difference after only doing four sessions of NMTZ. I really recommend you give it a try.

I haven't seen anyone post any before/after photos of NMTZ, so I think I'll post mine after 30 days; that is, if I get results.

Good luck!

When I do the NMTZ workout, I alternate it with Banish fat boost metabolism

marieann82

I love this workout. It is a longer "burn" the 30DS or RI30, which I love. I am sore the next day for sure. I throw it in here and there, when I am bored with my other Jillian dvds.

I have read lots of time people who alternate NMTZ with Banish Fat. My jaw kinda falls open in awe. That take some willpower for sure!

danahouseholderr

I just started this workout last week. I've been alternating it with 6W6P and am thinking about getting into Banish Fat. I don't notice any crazy results in only one week, but I do feel like I'm getting a little bit firmer/stronger.

Has anyone seen any real results from these workouts being used together? I'm really looking to lose my last 9 lbs and I'm hoping this will work.

belle19822000

I see centimeters drop!!!

I do less banish fat and more NMTZ, 6W6P and other 30 mins videos of Jillian.

My arms are 3 cm smaller in less than 2 months! :drinker:

So is my butt, each of my things more than 2 cm, and my waist ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it's so tiny! :blushing:

And the scale is down only 3 kilos (around 7 pounds, I suppose)

That's so great! Glad to hear that! What is your workout schedule like/how many times a week do you do each workout? I'm not sure if I should do more NMTZ or more Banish Fat

belle19822000

At the begining I did cardio more. I wanted to get that "endurance", you know.... But, I felt like I eas just shrinking. Still chubby, but smaller. then I changed everything. I have a copy of my exercises on my laptop, so here's the routine: (I can't do entire banish fat only 5 sets (that's why I wrote 5 out of 7 - 5/7), sometimes I begin 6th, then I can't move anymore, and begin cooldown).

Starting weight was 70 kg!

17.01.13. - BFBM - 5 / 7, 20.01.13. - BFBM -5/7, 22.01.13. - BFBM -5/7, 24.01.13. - BFBM -5/7, 26.01.13. - RI 30, L1, 27.01.13. - Body Revolution Week1p1 - didn't like it, felt too easy for me

28.01. - 02.02. severe flu - NO EXERCISE, started Myfitnesspal on Feb. 2nd,

03.02. - BFBM - 5/7, - barely did it, 05.02. - 6WSP-l1, 07.02. - BFBM - 5/7, 09.02. - NMTZ, 11.02. - 6WSP-l1, 13.02. - NMTZ, 15.02. - BFBM - 5/7 , 16.02. - 6W6P-l1, 18.02.-NMTZ, 20.02.-RI30, l1, 23.02.-NMTZ, 27.02. - NMTZ,
01.03.-BFBM 5/6 - couldn't complete entire exercise, 02.03.-RI30, l2,

Complicated dental surgery, horrible pain - no movement again, and I ate stupid stuff

12.03. 6W6P-l1, 14.03. - NMTZ, 17.03. - NMTZ, 18.03. - 30 DS l1, 20.03. - 30 DS l2, 21.03. - 30 DS l3,

On rest days I walked for no less than an hour, fast pace of course. No exercise if I felt tired, had heavy flow, and I never exercised hungry.

l1, l2 is for level 1 or 2

Hope that helps. As you see I had no "routine", I did what I felt like, and what felt good at that period of time.

Yeah, I also do it like this, more or less. I do NMTZ every second day. Then, on the in between days, I do 6W6P, either level 1 or 2, depends how I feel. Or, if I don't feel like exercising, but I have to, I do 30DS, either level 2 or 3. On days that I feel quite energetic, I will do Banish fat, boost metabolism. I don't like BFBM very much, my knees hurt and I always feel incredibly tired afterwards! But, I do take 1 day of rest every week, so I try to do 6, but at least 5 workouts every week.

I do basically the same.

Thanks for sharing this! Probably going to start with NMTZ 3 times a week and 6W6P or BFBM 2 days a week.

Another random question, has anyone had any results with NMTZ flattening that last bit of tummy fat? It's really the only thing left that I want to accomplish and can't seem to make it fully happen

I struggle with that too! Just can't get rid of that tummy! Apparently we must just keep going and in the end we'll get rid of it.

belle19822000

I took some pictures at the beginning and then every 2 weeks. When I look all of my profile photos I see the stomach area being pulled into my spine.

I have gotten to the point where I don't get bloated even for my period. I mean, I am bloated, but my stomach stays in it's place. I still have a long way to go before all the fat is gone, but it's a small amount of fat, and it's not bothering me. As long as I don't feel and become visibly bloated ever again.

So, the tummy fat will go away, we just have to be persistent!

danahouseholderr

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys! I've noticed my stomach pulling back as well, I just can't wait until the day it's finally gone! I guess if it takes years to put it on, it's going to take a while to get rid of it :P

I've been loving NMTZ but it's starting to not be so much of a challenge anymore after a month or so of doing it twice a week. Which of her other dvds do you guys think is the most similar to it? I like NMTZ mainly because it is a total body workout, and not cardio based. I'm thinking maybe Ripped in 30 or Extreme Shed & Shred, but I'm not sure... any ideas?

I read somewhere on the reviews of her DVD's that Extreme shed & shred is very nice and similar to 30DS. I like the 30DS system of doing strength, cardio and abs in one circuit. So, I want to try Extreme s & s next. I get extremely bored with the workouts if I have to do them every day, that's why I alternate them a lot. But, I need some new dvd's now for more variation.

I'll be starting Extreme Shred & Shred tomorrow, so I'll let you know what it's like after I finish it.

If you like the 3-2-1 system in 30DS you will also like Ripped in 30 as that's the same format.

It's also a little better in that you only spend 7 days on a level as opposed to 10 with 30DS so a bit less boredom involved.

This is my first DVD by Jillian and I'm on my 3. day. I'm planning on doing it 6 days a week for 30 days. It's killer workout and my muscles are sore but I can only hope it will get easier

Today was day 2 of NMTZ for me. There aren't many people talking about this video on MFP, unlike 30ds.
I recently finished 30DS and was really impressed/pleasantly surprised by the results - I lost about 14 inches overall and really saw a difference in my before and after photos. Hopefully NMTZ will help me tone up.

I log it as Curves Circuit Training and I get about 250 calories burnt. If I log it as circuit training, general I get a lot of calories burnt (about 394) which doesn't seems right to me.
