in Introduce Yourself
Hi guys! I used to workout with Jillian Michaels videos two years ago and then I got into running 4 times a week 4km, about 30 minutes. Now I want to tone my body and start 30 day Shred challenge for myself. I remember this workout used to work great for me, now I'm 3kilos down from that but not as toned as before. So I start today! If you want to join me, you are welcome!

I don't like weighing myself very often, a week ago I had a weigh in and I was 53.9 kilos (118.8 pounds) and height 165cm ( 5"4' ) which is the same weight as a month ago....well my weight is stable for more than a year. I don't count calories just loooooove healthy and low calorie home-made food. I am obsessed with cooking and I love good quality food and working out :)

    haha, feel no shame! i cannot tell you how many times i cursed jillian under my breath. but all things considered, it wasn't that bad. i know a lot of people don't like her, but you have to hand it to her, she's very motivational.

    and now we get to do it all again tomorrow :)

    I started Friday, Nov 1. I'll be doing it 3 times a week. I also lift heavy on those days and need the rest days in between. I barely made it through the first workout and my abs have been sore for two days! LOL Love it!

    Just finished my second day of Jillian and I can't believe I noticed a difference already! I only took 2 5-second breaks and was able to lift the weights higher for longer than the first day. Woo-Hoo!

    My husband did it Saturday after his run and Jill kicked his butt, too! LOL

    How's everyone doing?

    I'm starting today too! Can you do it everyday or do you need to alternate every other day?

    I started level 2 yesterday! So that makes me 11 days in. I've already lost about 4 lbs. Loving this workout! I am also trying the couch to 5k but have only done that about 3 times since starting. Good Luck! :smile:

    I think it's actually meant to be done every day, but since I lift heavy 3 times a week, I'm just doing it on my lift days, so I can have a rest day in between.

    Hi!!! Oh my whole body still hurts from this almost everyday workouts. Not sure if its healthy not to give muscles a little break so I decided after this 30 day challenge to go on regular every second day workouts 3-4 times a week.

    I've been travelling with my husband on the 4th so I couldn't fit in a workout but I did one the next day in hotel. Today we fly back home and I will do my workout in the evening.

    5.11 - day 5 done. 10.00 steps too.
