I'm just finishing up Jillian Michaels Body Revolution's first 2 week cycle. I'm finding it fairly easy but still am feeling a little sore the next day. (So I know it's working. Lol). What am I in for next? Are the next phases dramatically more difficult? I gotta tell you that I am ready for a bit of a challenge and am looking forward to pushing myself a more. Any thoughts??

    Ok, since I asked this yesterday and got no answers I thought I would throw it out again. (I know it's not a very exciting question. Lol). But I would appreciate any input. Even if you hated it!!

    You know the tree thing she has you do on disc three? Well.....that is one of the easier moves, very into stability...but it's a good thing!!

    I'm on week 6 and it's definitely harder. I've done it up to week 8 before but didn't have dramatically noticeable results back then (2years ago) so trying it again all the way through and increasing the weights I'm using this time round. I'm definitely feeling stronger already.

    Good to hear you are seeing results. I always wonder about how effective these DVDs are. I'm trying to always go with the harder/heavier option and can't wait until week 12 to see what happens.

    I have done this program a few times. She definitely throws more challenging exercises in as the weeks progress. Her program was the first 12 week (well technically 13 week) program that got me start on my fitness journey. In the first round I lost 20 lbs. I did not follow her diet. Just followed MFP recommendations for my calories and ate back my exercise calories. I have done the program three times (although the third I did in nine weeks since I did not spend two weeks on the beginning workouts) and there are still moves I cannot do.

    I just started week 7. The workouts do get harder as you move up in discs and it definitely depends on what weights you are using. I was using 5 lb and 8 lb weights but felt that the workouts were lacking sometimes so I just added 10 lb weights this week and feel that I'm getting a much better workout now! Started at 146.5 lbs and down to 138 lbs so far.

    They definitely get harder! I'm going through it for the 3rd time. Wo7 is my least fav - detest it! As she says - you can always add more weight if it's too easy. I haven't lost any weight (almost done week 6) but my clothes fit better and I feel SO much stronger. At my age, that's the lbs are so much harder to lose! Especially when I like my red wine like I do ;)

    I am on week 10 and.....WOW!! They do get harder. But I'm finding myself pushing myself harder too. It feels really good. I have only lost a few pounds but my clothes are pretty loose. My plan is to finish all 12 weeks and then start over with heavier weights. Wish me luck!!

    I can't imagine how much tougher it's going to get. I am on week 7 now and it is getting challenging! :)

    I got real sore in week nine in my butt and back muscles (good sore) even though I thought they were getting real good by then. It gets wonderfully challenging the further you go :)
