Hey mfpals!
I kinda followed my girl reyna over! lol! I just did week one day one today! Love it! Sooo excited about it!!
It's just what I have been needing these days after finding myself in a exercise rutt! Hopefully I can keep up with you girls that are coming off 30 day shred..lol! Today was my first experience with JM..lovin it!

I'm glad you followed!!

My baby girl has pneaumonia
Haven't been able to Rip, gonna try and get it in tonight. rough nights. Please pray for her and us.


Welcome jmncolts. The more the merrier!!

Reyna - Hope your little girl gets to feeling better soon. Will be praying for ya'll.

I bought 6 weeks, 6 pack and I'm trying to figure out how to do both videos thru the month of May. Any suggestions on what to do? Should i do both on the same days? I wanted to do Ripped 5 days/week. IDK. Thoughts??

6 week 6 pack level 2 kicks my butt all of the time. i sweat like crazy doing that. so when i eat more than i should. i just do that dvd the next day and i feel good haha it really works too. but i love all of jillians dvds. i probably have like 10 of them.

FELT AWESOME to Rip today, then followed with a 2.2 wog!
Have a great weekend
daughter is doing better, she's one that you can't ever tell that shes sick

I decided to RIP today. I had to workout so I figured I might as well RIP. Ready for week 2 tomorrow!

Can't wait to rip today. Im already seeing a difference. Lost one lb and an inch off my waist!

Week 2 Day 1 done!! so great this morning, after a not so good day of eating yesterday, its what I needed, a GOOD BUTT KICKING from Jillian!!

I am also doing it at least 6 days a week.

Happy Monday!

I have put my son down for a nap twice today and started week 2 twice today. Everytime I get to the first floor pose he starts screaming. Ahh hopefully ill get to rip at some point today.

Week 2 Day 2. I really have to watch to figure out some of these moves! Doing some modified moves this week.:ohwell: And I hate mountain climbers!!! Everyone have a great day!

those stupid dang plank exercises....I know they're good but man my shoulders are so sore.

ETA: week 2 day 2

I started late so I'm only on week 1, day 3. Liking it so far but feel like maybe I could shorten up week 1 and start week 2 early? It's challenging but I want more. I've been pairing it with 25 minutes of cardio and extra abs at night. Maybe I'll add 6 week 6 pack tonight? Haven't watched that one yet.

I finally did my first day of Ripped in 30 today and loved it. I'm excited for results and think Jillian's method is awesome. How often are you all doing the video? I planned on incorporating it and 6 week 6 pack into my already cardio filled week but don't want to overdo it. I haven't done 6 week 6 pack yet, will do it tomorrow. It's hard to work out as much as I want with the whole family home on the weekends.

I tried 6 week 6 pack one day along with Rip, but decided I want to get stronger with Rip before I start doing 6 pack regularly What did you decide?

Yes, wrist and shoulders, hurt but its a good hurt, right?!! i feel like a weakling....Keep it up! half way thru with week 2

designerdiscounts-Week 1 didn't seem as challenging to me and that might be from coming off of Level 3 of Shred, I don't think it would hurt to skip....but I did have a lot of soreness in the back of my thighs and back from Week 1 moves. So even though we might think it's "easy" its toning us!

Oh, the backs of my legs are very sore and tight - Jillian is definitely kicking my butt, literally. I'll do it for a couple more days and then maybe start into week 2 without a break. That will be 5 days of week 1 before starting week 2. Then I'll do the full weeks of week 2-4. I'm excited to start week 2, sounds like it's hard!

week 2 day 3 done. I can definately tell I am getting stronger. I will do some reps in the advanced and then back down to modified before I pass out. I can tell that by doing that I am sweating more. I started TOM today and so I was dreading doing it, but once I got started I got into it. My wrists don't hard but the palms of my hands do, b/c I do it on the carpet of my living room.

My neck is also sore, but I think its b/c I catch myself looking down and back towards my feet while doing the plank exercises. I should be keeping it straight. Woops.

How are y a'll entering it in the exercise log. I timed the workout, starting after warmup and before cool down and got like 23-25 minutes, I forget now, so I log it as 23 minutes of circuit training...I'd rather estimate on the lower end. How long are yall entering it in for??
