Hi everyone!
I noticed that people put up challenges with other MFP members, and I thought I'd ask people to join a challenge with me!
I saw that there is a Ripped in 30 and 30 Day Shred challenge going on, but I don't own those dvds (yet).

However, I do have her Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism and No More Trouble Zones dvd, and I can say that they are both very intense. Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism being much more cardio based, and No More Trouble Zones having a greater focus on strength training. For those of you who have them, or any of her other workout dvds, would you be up to do her workout dvds 4 times a week for the month of April?? I don't have the time to do it everyday since I have my finals coming up, plus work, but I know for sure I could squeeze in 4 of Jillian's workouts!

    I will join! I finished Level 1 of the 30 Day Shred today and am hoping to start on Level 2 tomorrow (but I may end up having a rest day, just because my schedule is unusually crazy tomorrow). I have been doing the Shred consecutively with ten days on each level.

    After the 30 Day Shred, I am planning on doing Ripped in 30. So I will definitely be doing a Jillian workout 4+ times a week!

    I'm in!

    I just ordered six week six pack so I can do that one. Do we just post what days we did the dvd each week?

    Im in! I have her 30 day shred and have just ordered the ripped in 30 one.

    I've tried it once before and only kept it up for a few days...Would be interesting to see how it goes for the full 30!

    Yay!
    Yeah I think it would be a good idea to post weekly what days we did the workouts, and which dvd and level for those doing the shred. And we can all motivate each other along the way to keep on going :)

    I'll post on Monday though, since I count Monday as the first day of the week!

    I'd love to join. I primarily have used this site just to track my food but looking for more motivation! I have the 30 day shred which I started yesterday. I also have Banish Fat Boost Metabolism which I've only done once. I've seen a lot of people on here with great results from her videos! Hope I can stick to it!!!

    I did my first day of Level 2 of the 30 Day Shred. So intense! There were so many plank moves! Can't wait to master it.

    And I lost 1.4 lbs while on Level 1.

    A lot of people log it as circuit training (at least for 30 Day Shred, I am not sure what BFBM & NMTZ are like, because I haven't done them). The circuit training estimates are fairly accurate compared to the readings I have got from my HRM. I would just log the cool down separately (or not at all) as stretching, to try to make the MFP estimation as accurate as you can sans HRM.

    I'm in! I am currently doing TurboJam, but want to add some other strength training. I have the 30-day Shred video that I started before ordering TurboFire, then TurboJam and got about 5 days in before switching. I definately can tell I haven't been working the same muscles! I was just thinking about doing the 30-day challenge to see what kind of results I could get, now i've got the motivation :happy: !

    I despise push-ups. At least in level 1 you get them out of the way right away. I also despise that the girls in the video smile through the whole thing. I for one, am not smiling until I'm done :) L1 D2 down... 28 days to go!
