OK Everyone who is ready to slimdown for christmas? I am!!!

I have 30 Day Shred, Banish fat, Boost Metabolism and No More Trouble Zones and have never really used them. I found a 30 Day Slimdown workout routine using all 3 videos.

Here is the link

Lets slimdown together! Its always easier when you have a support group to cheer each other on and pick us up on our bad days.

    At first I was going to say that I could not do this because I do not have all of the DVD's. I have NMTZ and 30 Day Shred. But then I followed the link and saw that you can get some of the workout from Exercise TV on demand!

    So I am going to start on the 1st. Thanks for sharing. I hope I actually finish...

    badrianne: I usually don't finish what I started either! But this is only 30 days so we can do it! And once we DO we will have accomplished a goal!

    Ladies: I'm also thinking about doing JIllian's Shred It WIth Weights at night. I am also training for a half marathon so will be running 3 days a week. Im tired just thinking about all this working out lol

    i just looked this up and printed it out. i think this sounds great! tough but great!

    i have been working out 4-5 days per week since mid sept. all of october all i did was walk the dog for 30 minutes and elliptical for 45-60 minutes. in november i cut the elliptical down so i could add in the 30 day shred. i am close to moving on to level 3 (3 more days of the shred and i can bump it up...

    i can totally start this tomorrow. i need to pick up the other 2 dvd's and can do that by wednesday. man, my downstairs neighbors are gonna HATE me!!!!

    i wish all the videos were only 20-25 minutes long. oh well though, this looks cool. is anyone going to measure before starting? i just did yesterday so i am good to go...

    Heather: Measuring is a good idea, I'll do that tomorrow morning. The downstairs lady probably already hates me for jumping around when I work out, so we can be terrible neighbors together. :P

    I think on the Shred days I'm going to do a dance workout too, just to throw something fun in there, and yoga on the rest days.

    I taped the schedule to my kitchen cupboard so my husband can see it and I gave him permission to pester me if I slack off, so this time I'm GOING to finish! Good luck to everybody, we can all do this together!

    Sounds great! I've got them all! I lost my first 10 pounds doing just these Jillian DVDs :)

    Also, we have a BURN Holiday Challenge at my gym - where we do Jillian-esque workouts every day until Christmas! If I pair them together hopefully good things will happen!

    vachegomo: sweet! lol! glad we can be a bad neighbor team! sometimes i do want to buy them a starbucks giftcard with an 'i am sorry' note attached, but haven't yet... ;)

    jourdan: it is great to hear you did well with these dvd's! my favorite thing about the shred is how quickly my endurance picks up. the first couple days are torture, then by the 3rd i am like - oh, cool! let's try the non-modified version.

    @ everyone - i think i am going to stick with level 2 of the shred the first 2 days. reading thru the workout it looks like it gets progressively harder each week. since i have done level 2 four times now, i kinda want to keep it up. then i will fall into place after that.

    i am curious to see if i can still do the elliptical while doing this program. i sure hope so, i really enjoy it (did i just say that? WEIRD!). it is a good de-stresser for me (quit smoking sept 13th, so i need de-stressers!).

    good luck everyone!

    Pitterpatter: Good luck at the drs and hope everything is A OK!!

    Heather: Do the elliptical too! I am also training for a half marathon so will be running 3 days a week. The days im not running I think Im going to try and do Jillians Shred it with weights or her yoga meltdown. My goal is to workout 2 times a day!

    Well day 1 is complete! When I had done the Shred before I used 3lb weights well today it was 5lbs!! I burned a nice 208 calories to start my day! Feel great but it hurt to lift my arms to wash my hair in the shower lol.

    Good luck with day 1! Only 29 to go! We WILL do this!

    OK, I'm in!! I am starting Wednesday...one thing that I noticed is the on demand version of Banish Fat is not the full workout. I think it may be about half of the actual DVD. I hope that I can hang in there and see some results!!

    ok - day one done! :smokin:

    really, it was pretty much the same workout as i have been doing. day 3 is gonna be very different for me because of the new dvd's - which i bought today for $9 a piece at target. :happy:

    ok, off to add all this workout stuff up. i walked my dog for 25, did 30 day shred for 25 (level 2) and the elliptical for 35 (2.6 miles). i am pooped! and HUNGRY! dunno what to eat just yet.

    i really wish i was a morning person so i could do part of this routine in the am. i am a :yawn:...:wink:

    Day 1 finished! I was going to tack on a second dvd, but I don't have enough time tonight. I should really learn to be a morning person too, I would get so much more done. Hah! Right. I like sleeping way too much. :smile:

    Day 1 FINISHED>> Woohoo!

    Gotta be at the gym at 7am too for "Holiiday BURN Challenge"...pretty much Jillian Michael's style circuit training that burns 800 calories a session!

    Jourdan- wow that is an amazing calorie burn! I wish!

    Ladies trust me I am NOT a morning person either! It takes me about 45mins of pushing snooze for me to finally get up. I try and talk myself out of not getting up but I know I have to and I'm actually awake now going to work lol

    Day 2 complete! My body was sore this moring! I did a 3.15 mile run last night too. Burned 767 calories today yesterday :smile:
    Todays workout was a bit easier but for some reason those damn juming jacks got to me a bit. Oh well they will start to get easier.

    Have a great day and only 28 more days to go!!!!! :drinker:

    hello all!

    day 2 done here as well. i didnt have time to elliptical tonight because i had to make a 45 minute stop on the way home. i think that is good though, maybe i will just elliptical every other day...still working out the details.

    i am excited to try a new DVD tomorrow! a little nervous too - that jillian is tough!

    great job peeps! so glad we are doing this!
