arms are sore! cardio wasn't bad (I'm not doing kickstart so this my first cardio try). I hate doing the running man! I'm horribly uncoordinated! burned 264 today! killing it! did anyone notice in the cardio video how the asian guy in the second row on the right side of the screen keeps looking at Anita's butt (girl in front of him on the right side)! so funny! motivated me to work harder, because i want him staring at my butt too! hahaha

I've been doing the kickstart week with double workouts but only did one cardio on day 3 due to NYE. Also allowed myself the treat of one piece of Turkish Delight and 2 dried figs whilst we were out - sugar never tasted so good. Got home at 2:30am but did two workouts (1 & 5) late this morning to make up for yesterday. will do 5 again this evening. The scale this morning showed 3lbs lost but it really fluctuates a lot so will only check again on Monday.

JMRod - I can barely move today too!!! I will do this workout after work. I had to pop some ibuprofen this morning for my sore muscles and I'm feeling a little better after my 1.5 mile walk to work.

I'm so glad that I'm doing this instead of 30 DS since Jillian has you repeat the same exercises day after day with that. It's nice to give the muscle groups the two days rest because I'm always the stiffest two days after a workout. Cardio on day 3 is perfect!

I did Day 3 today. I am a little sore and trying to add on some treadmill walk/run minutes after each workout. I like to get in 45 minutes total. On Sunday I actually did both Day 1 and the cardio. I know I will feel better by next week, so must push on. Good luck all.

Not doing that now That was just the kickstart week where she recommended doubling up by adding the cardio every day. Now I'm trying to do some extra activity each day like dancing/bike but only one Jillian workout thank goodness. It was really tiring.

Woo hoo! Just finished and felt the endorphins pumping in circuit 3. My running mans totally sucked - my ham strings are very stiff and I was terrified of pulling a muscle if I tried to do them with more leg action. The last thing I want is an injury 3 days in that makes me have to stop. Just got to get over the startup hump so my muscles won't be so bad next time.

Good job to those of you doing the cardio on the other days too! Way to go! I might do that in a later week if I can manage it.

Well done adjusting! Four weeks is enough to perfect your running man.

Mellie, my hamstrings have been soooo tight. I am on 6 tomorrow and I think they are finally getting better thanks to lots of stretching.

This workout is intense!!

I struggle so much with her cardio sessions though. This my second (but my first official one in my 90 day thing so I still have 3 more cardio 1s to go).

I can never do the running man for the whole minute. I stop at like the 20 second mark I would think. I just get too winded. I'm really bad at doing jumpy moves. I think part of it is my sporta bra, I wear TWO because I can't seem to find an affordable one to keep my chest from bouncing which I think makes the exercise so much harder.

Also the arm circle kickouts DESTROY ME. I can't do those for a whole minute either.

But suicides? I can do. IT MAKES NO SENSE. I mean, I do have asthma but I don't want to use that as an excuse.

My heart rate is up and I'm out of breath and sweaty and red so I should still be proud of myself for giving it a shot. I just don't feel like I "deserve" to be proud of myself if I can't do so many of the major moves that this workout calls for.

Does anyone have any similar struggles/difficulties with this workout? I want to cry when I think about what cardio 2 will be like!!

Are we starting a running man hate club?
