I had real trouble with my knees last time I did this program but I'm having no trouble at all this time. I am focussing really hard on form especially with things like lunges which my knees just hate. I am going slower than the cast generally so not doing as many reps but making sure my reps are good. I think half of my knee problems came from rushing through the exercises to keep up which didn't give me time to do them with good knee alignment. This time I'm not worrying about keeping up with them as long as I am doing reps consistently for the entire time and doing them well.
Just what I should have done with the side lunges. Sigh.0 -
I did something to my left quad and hamstring today during Workout 4. Made the mistake of trying to keep up with the group during side lunges instead of concentrating on form! I did finish the workout and even did 10 minutes of TurboJam Learn and Burn afterwards, but it definitely hurts. Cardio day tomorrow, then workout 3 on Monday. Hopefully it will feel better by then!
Any thoughts on how to help it recover? I did rub it with some "recovery cream" I have and getting ready to take a hot shower.
Rest is best. There's a difference between sore and injured. If the pain feels like you've done something really bad you need to rest it. If you're okay to walk on it etc then it's likely okay, just take it easy! Heat and ice are both nice.0 -
I've been so slack this weekend. I've taken two days off and my motivation today is low
I need to try to do cardio 1 AND workout 3 today so I can catch up but I just don't see that happening. I'll definitely do the cardio at least. 0 -
Ok I got cardio 1 done for the second last time ever (WOO!) Now to have a rest after eating and bust out workout 3 for the last time ever

Thanks!! I do pretty good for my calorie goal...I'm between 1200-1400 and I don't eat back my calories. I also do Zumba twice a week. My weekends are my down fall lol But I'm pleased with the results. Makes me really want to start Phase 2!

Just did workout 3 for the last time EVER!
I kept up with everything for the entire time. The ONLY thing I modified was doing the plankups on my knees and some of the pushups on my knees (but I got about 5 military ones in each time!!!)
So excited and proud! Tomorrow is workout 4 for the last time ever and then (most excitingly) cardio 1 FOR THE LAST TIME EVER.
Wooo! I'm excited to see what my phase one results are!
Keep motivated ladies!!!0 -

That's great!!
I was able to keep up with everything too except for a few things, I started doing the plankups on my knees towards the end, and push ups were always "girly style" Cardio I had to swap out the suicides to run back and forth in my living room as fast as I could, but other than that I thought I did pretty well for Phase 1. Excited and nervous to start Phase 2 today.
Have a great day ladies!!! :happy:0 -
I am also starting phase 2 today! Yeah, a new cardio!
I took my mesurments also on the weekend...

Yes amazing results! I'm still thinking about taking an extra week in Phase one...we'll see how I feel after this week (Week 4).0 -

I've been trying to do them for about 5 years haha and it's finally happening!
Also as for doing an extra week, Jillian herself says to do so if you're struggling to keep up. At the same time, I guess we should try to push ourselves. I could easily do another week of phase 1 to get even better at the workouts, but they aren't really challenging me anymore. I can keep up and do all the moves (with a few modifications) and I don't feel like I'm dying when I finish them. So even though I wish I could do all the military pushups and do plankups on my toes not my knees, I'm going to move ahead to Phase 2 as planned because I want to keep challenging my body. Also if I do these same workouts much more I'm going to get bored and my motivation level will plummet!
It's a personal decision obviously and only you know how you're feeling, but I guess I thought I'd share my thoughts.0 -
Good luck to everyone starting Phase 2 today! I can't decide whether I am envious or just plain scared for you all
I am DONE with Cardio 1. Just can't make myself do it anymore. Yesterday was my cardio day and instead I did 15 minutes of BFBM, walked a mile (in my new sneakers -hooray!) and then did the 20 minute Learn and Burn from Turbo Jam. So, plenty of cardio. I am planning on doing Turbo Jam or walking/jogging for cardio from now on.
So, last night around bedtime my whole body started to hurt and by this morning my feet and hands were swollen. Now, I am about to get my monthly visit from Aunt Flo, so maybe that is why I am retaining all this water, and maybe it is because of all the exercising I have been doing lately? Whatever it is, I am resting today and plan on starting Week 4 tomorrow 'cause I hurt!0 -

Thanks for sharing! I am still struggling to even maintain plank for 30 seconds, and I think it will be fun to try Workouts 1 and 2 again and see if I can keep up better, so right now I am still planning on it. We'll see how I feel at the end of the week though - I maybe read to move on!0 -

Keep us posted. We're here for support regardless 0 -
Just thought I'd post my results for phase one.
I lost half an inch everywhere except my thighs where I lost an inch.
On the upper chest (just below the arm pit) I actually gained an inch! I was really pleased with that because my upper body is quite weedy so I guess all those weight exercises must be working.
Weight loss wise it was only 4lbs but a lot of people don't seem to drop a lot in phase one so again I'm happy with that. I don't follow Jillian's food plan because I just don't get on well with set meal plans like that. I stick to around 1,700 cals a day which seems to be good for me at the moment,
I'm now on week 6 and I wont take measurements again until the end of phase 2 but I'm certainly seeing some positive changes so I'm quite excited about the results.0 -

Haha I'm scared lol on Friday I watched 10 mins of it and was tired just watching lol The warmup alone could be part of a circuit! I'll let you all know how I'm feeling in a few hours after I complete it!
I just bought Turbo Jam...seems to be a favorite around here. I bought the one that had 5 programs in it. Looking forward to getting that today and trying it out if I don't like the cardio 2 DVD lol
Good choice! Rest is always good---always listen to your body!0 -

Awesome!!
I don't follow her food plan either, I'm to picky and it's all food I don't eat! I stick to around 1200-1400 and don't eat any of my calories back.
Great results so far!!!0 -

Haha I will agree with the word "like" because I "liked" workout 4 better than 3 lol...I'll let you know if I'm on the same page as you later.0 -
Apparently the swelling and pain I had yesterday are here to stay. I have fifth disease, caught from the kids. My joints are killing me lot of tingling and itching and just walking up the stairs is exhausting. So it looks like I am out for at least the next few days. I can't believe I am missing exercising but I am.0
