    I just finished the shred and I'm on week 2 of RI30. It helps me to have a count down of days. So if I didn't feel like pushing forward, I would tell myself "only x amount of days left, keep going". You can do it!

    If you've tried it that many times and haven't wanted to go past day 1...I think it may be time to try something different.

    Why don't you try a different program?

    New Rules of Lifting for Women has worked well for me.

    if it takes that many tries...perhaps you just don't LIKE that kind of exercise and should try something else?

    i only do what I love...hence I stick to it.

    :huh: :huh:

    Not sure if serious...

    I'm sure that is serious, and I agree with it. Forcing oneself to do something they aren't yet committed or ready to do is a good way to fail.

    For example people who force themselves to go on a "diet" or quit smoking because they "know they should" or "think they have to" are always the ones who blow it a few days in. You have to really be READY.

    If you keep trying the same thing that you don't like doing in the first place, why is try number 100 going to be anymore successfull than number 99 was?

    Maybe this particular workout just isn't one person's thing - there are LOTS of other things to do, you just have to find the one that you CAN stay with, either because it doesn't annoy you (like Jillian tends to, LOL) or because you truly enjoy doing it, or becuase it's a new addition into a routine you might be bored with....

    There's nothing wrong with sticking with the things you like rather than trying to force yourself to do something that doesn't grab you.

    The only reason I stayed with the 30DS is that I was determined not to give up, as I ALWAYS have with stuff like this. I made an even bigger resovle to stick with things otherwise I would have given her up to, she's annoying and kind of a d**khole in terms of how she "motivates". Will I continue choosing her programs? Not sure. At the moment, when I finish 30DS in 5 days, no I'm not doing another one of hers. Maybe down the line.

    I personally love JM workouts, and have had a lot of success with them.

    But, one thing goes with the other - I have had success because I DO them, I DO them because I ENJOY them.

    There are soooooo many DVD's out there, JM is just one fish in the sea! Why don't you post a topic asking for good circuit training DVD's that have some of the same qualities that you like about Zumba?

    I mean, I don't like brocolli, so I don't eat it. I eat all kinds of other veggies and get a healthy result. If I tried eating only brocolli, I'd never eat ANY veggies.

    So, no JM for you. Try something you LIKE!
