Did my 1st Shred level 1, I think in over a year. I remember when it was way-way to easy. Onward and upward group... it will get easier!!
I'll be posting my measurements! :drinker: to you that have.0 -
Did 5 days of JM workouts last week. Taking another day off today, back tomorrow with 6 day in a row goal!0

@kate and nemrenu - i've tried the 6w6p once so far and its quite hard, the workout is 35 mins long but it flew by. Its not in the 3-2-1 style of 30DS its more like doing 1min of a set of exercises and then repeated. as with the rest of her dvd's its as hard as you want to make it. At the end of the session all 3 on the dvd were almost sweaty as me!
I'm not going to do 3 weeks of the same workout as suggested though i'm just going to switch between that and BFBM as I love them both.
my official stats for this month:-
Height 169cm
Weight 155.4 lbs
measurements in inches (cm)
under bust 31"
waist 30"
tummy 34" (across belly button)
hips 40"
arm L 11" R 11"
thigh L 23" R 23"
the bove taken at the end of the day after a hefty portion of mash potato and sausages!!!0 -
Hi loxleys LOL:laugh: " the bove taken at the end of the day after a hefty portion of mash potato and sausages!!!
Thanks!! I am going to look for 6wk/6 pk on my Netflix and give it a try. I'm with you I'm going to mix it up to keep it fresh, between Shred, Cardio KB, NMTZ & BFBM... I think :noway:0 -
I got the 30 day shred for Christmas and plan on starting it tomorrow. So I am in Good Luck everyone!!!!0

Day 1 : Banish Fat Boost Metabolism
Day 2: No More Trouble Zones
first 2 days done!!0 -
I managed about 20 days of the shred up to early December before some family came to visit and I got horribly distracted.....no excuse!!
My ( awful ) measurements :
5ft 5
154lbs
waist 34
lower tummy 40
hips 43
How depressing!! Not for long hopefully!!0 -
Well I did my Day 1 of 6 Week 6 Pack this morning! I really enjoyed it, my knee still isn't upto 100% but it wasn't too high impact and I managed quite well, It is hard though, I flagged towards the end with the side plank twist things
Ouch!!
Jillian mentions at the beginning of the DVD to do Level 1 for 3 weeks (5 days a week) and then Level 2 for 3 weeks. I am going to use this as my main structure and fit other workouts around it as I usually get in 2 workouts a day (once I'm back to my full strength after the Christmas slump that is!! Lol 1 a day is enough for week 1 I think!).
Hopefully I should see some good results by the next time I try my wedding dress on!!
Keep it up everyone, I will get round to posting my measurements today hopefully! Need to find a tape measure......

I haven't done any of these since i been out of town visiting my aunt since dec 31st...so i will be marathoning it til i get caught up to today's workouts. I also need to plug in my bodybugg when i get home and upload the info there to see how many more steps i need to walk to catch up to 15,000 steps. Like I said I want to do @ least 5000 steps a day and I'm pretty sure I haven't done all 5000 steps a day...but i do know that i've walked @ least some0 -
30 day shred level one and two done this morning, skipped level one cool down and level 2 warm up, pushed hard on the strength, kept up with most of it, still dont do pendulum lumges as they hurt my knees. Guess I didn't push much on Cardio, only 395 calories burned 136 avg heart rate. Know I will be sore, but committed to 6 day a week workouts and daily 1200 net calories... figure I should be able to loose 80 pounds in a year! Wow, its overwhelming to think of it that way... one day at a time!0

really rubbish day today - woke up with a stiff neck and back, have resorted to the pregnant sit down and stand up technique it hurts that much!!!

Hi all! I'm so excited to start this! Here are my stats:
Height 5'8"
Weight 145 lbs (up a few from the holidays, hope it goes back down quickly)
measurements in inches
under bust 30.5"
waist 29.5"
tummy 31" (across belly button)
hips 37.5"
arm L 11" R 11"
thigh L 23.5" R 24"
Hope I did the arms and thighs right. Never measured them before.
I did BFBM last night. Wow, is all I can say. I couldn't do all of the moves, but I kept up. Burned 450 calories! :drinker: :bigsmile:
I'm planning to do BFBM, NMTZ, 30 DS, and Shred It with Weights, mixed up throughout the month. I'm keeping a little paper calendar on my dresser, which I will fill in each day. My schedule with work and kids can get a little crazy, but this will allow me to do shorter workouts like 30 DS on the busier days. Then I'll do the l longer workouts when I have more time.
Hope you are all having a great Monday!

Sorry for not doing it today0 -
Hey how is everyone getting along?
I didn't do the shred today but did a 100 min body spinning class instead with weights and burned up a storm. Will be back on the shred tomorrow though.
Some awesome news. I'm ahead of my mini goals and my BMI just went from obese to overweight. I'm kinda stoked
@ xxweerachceex - hope you feel better soon.0 -

Jay Alexander: I use circuit training, but the calories MFP gives back for the time are often higher than what my HRM says, so I have to adjust it!0

Well after my first day yesterday of 6 Week 6 Pack my back is killing me!! I think it's from the lateral pull downs on the floor but now I'm wondering if I had bad posture for some of the ab exercises? I don't normally have this after Ab Jam so I don't know!
I did Turbo Jam Fat Blaster this morning as I didn't want to put too much strain on my back but hopefully going to do either Shred L1 or 6W6P again later this evening! I'm hoping my back ache is muscle ache - has anyone else had this after 6W6P?
-x-x-0 -
my lower back was killing me after doing 6w6p too, I have had a stiff neck too but think thats due to the sleeping on the sofa!!
i'm too scared to do it again til the paid goes!!0 -
p1nkpr1ncess, I've not done 6W6P so I can't comment, but well done for getting your workout done already.
Hi everyone, good to see us all doing so well! Its my first day back at work today after Christmas, but I can't wait to get home and et some exercise in.0 -
I have not done 6w6p either, hope your pain eases quick p1nkpr1nce. I did shred with weights this morning, defiantly not my fav so far, think I'd like it better with a kettle weight instead of my hand weight, also maybe once I know the moves better, I can flow through it better and burn more. But for today 258 calories in 1/2 hour. I let a friend borrow BFBM, will get it back today and look forward to tomorrow's workout. Have a great day everyone!0
