I'm yet to complete Body Revolution (things keep getting in the way!) but am determined to get through it this time as I really like the format.

I have 25lbs left to lose and would love to feel more body confident this August.

I'd love to hear from anyone starting around the same time!

    Fab! :-) Wasn't expecting anyone to reply!

    I was actually hit with a sudden burst of motivation today and decided to start this eve, despite it being mid-week. I feel so much better for it though, and really looking forward to tomorrow's workout!

    Making the most of feeling smug with these easier workouts as I know the pain that is to come! Modified push-ups into plank will always fill me with dread though...

    How is everyone else getting on?

    That's great! I dread the push-up to plank shift too! I started week one last night. I did lap swimming this morning and had planned on Tevilution again tonight, but my class had their track meet today and I ran with some of my students. I can hardly move, I'm so tired!

    Still plan on starting July 13. I will be returning from a trip the day before. Not even giving myself a day of rest before starting a new routine.

    I'm not surprised! That sounds like more than enough exercise for one day!

    Completed Workout 2 today, and still feeling motivated. I'm planning to go for a run tomorrow instead of the Cardio 1 workout as I like to get outside for a change.

    SatiaRenee - Sounds like you have a good plan! I know for me that when I give myself a day or two off after a holiday it always turns into a month or more!

    Phase 1 workouts 3 & 4 are this week. I am not doing any of her cardio workouts because I swim, bike, and run throughout the week for my cardio.
    Let's make this week amazing!!!

    Started today! I haven't got all the way through before either. Because... Well life. So I'm on board! Let's do this.

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has let life get in the way of actually finishing this program! Best intentions and all that. I've restarted yesterday in addition to taking on the 5 mile challenge! I'm not as sore as I thought I'd be, but man my fitness took a plummet during my "break". Oh, well. Onwards and upwards!

    I am waiting on my DVDs to arrive on Thursday and plan on starting Monday; looks like I won't be too far behind this group :)

    Hi everyone, nice to have so many motivated people doing this at the same time!

    I have had some bad luck and woke up with a pain in my lower back this morning, which seems to be getting worse and worse! :( Not sure if it's a pulled muscle or something completely unrelated to working out, but it's making me flinch when I walk.

    I really don't want to have my workout schedule disrupted too much, hoping it just goes away asap.

    I got up early (VICTORY!!!) and worked out prior to coming into work. Day 3 is in the books y'all. I have to say day 2 was awful - I thought I was going to puke multiple times... I just kept hearing JM screaming (that gif above) unless you puke keep going... KEEP GOING. I made it through and felt better after it was over. Today... those running man things.... AWFUL! LOL I dreaded them each time they came up in the routine.... I hated her at that moment... But I'm back to loving her now. :smile:

    I always dread fast feet! Got too much jiggling to feel overly happy about that one! Feeling uber sore, but Day 4 DONE!

    @BigBigBertha Hope your back is feeling better! x

    @Clo747 Thanks, it has mostly gone away now, think it was a trapped nerve, and the advice for that is to move as much as possible, luckily! Skipped my run on Wednesday but have managed to complete all BR workouts this week.

    Week 2 down, scared for week 3/4 which are so much more out of my comfort zone!

    I'm thinking of starting another round on Monday. First time round stopped after 8 weeks as I didn't see a lot of results and second time around I completed the program but again didn't notice major results.

    Since I finished at the end of March I have been doing a T25 and P90X3 hybrid (2 workouts a day) and mixing that with walking and some cardio in the gym but I am not really enjoying the training I'm doing as I don't feel that I'm seeing any better results and worse still, I don't feel that there's a consistent pattern to the workouts I'm doing now ie. with the Jillian workouts it was back of body/front of body repeated every week x 2 plus the cardio workouts.

    I was thinking about re-starting but adding much heavier weights this time as I think that's why I probably didn't see major results as I could manage to do most of the moves. I did go heavier than she suggested but not heavy enough I think.

    Having said that I've lost 15lbs since January, but that has mostly been down to diet and not seeing much definition as I still have around 20lbs to lose.

    I really hated the body revolution cardio workouts so I might substitute them for some of the T25 cardio instead as I prefer them. I might also add some Yoga/Pilates instead of cardio too some weeks.

    Oh no! Don't remind me @BigBigBertha! I'm still cocooned in the warmth and safety of weeks 1 & 2! Finding it difficult to get that second Cardio in on the weekend, though... Well done, you, for getting it done! x

    What is the 5 mile challenge?
  • Clo747
    Clo747 Posts: 112 Member
    @Audra135 Its just a challenge to hit 10,000 steps or 5 miles everyday (or in my case, every week day; weekends are MINE)! Just a little extra effort to be less sedentary. :)

    Ok I was searching for Body Revolution group to help keep me accountable. Can you guys please help hold me to staying on schedule? I love Body Revolution, but I have the HARDEST time staying on schedule. I normally only get 2-3 days in a week. I'm glad to see that some of you are substituting other cardio in too instead of the cardio DVD. :) My schedule for this week needs to be:

    Monday 06/08 - Phase 1 Workout 2
    Tuesday 06/09 - Cardio 1
    Wednesday 06/10 - Phase 1 Workout 3
    Thursday 06/11 - Phase 1 Workout 4
    Friday 06/12 - Cardio 1
    Saturday 06/13 - Rest

    @Clo747 That's awesome. It's amazing how much the steps/miles help keep you going every day!

    How is everyone's week going so far?

    I did Phase 1 Workout 3 for the first time today, and LOVED IT. I'm staying on schedule so far this week!

    Ooh, you're very good! I remember HATING 3 with a fiery passion! Lol! But plank ups are not my friend... Well done! Skipped cardio for a power walk, but back on it tomorrow. My last 1 & 2 before moving on next week. Nervous!

    This morning I did workout 1 for the LAST time! (At least for this cycle.) I've been really proud of my dedication this time around. I know it's only been a week and a half-ish. But I am usually bored by now. Sooo YAY for keeping it up - How's everyone else doing?

    I just started on Monday and did Day 2 of phase 1 workout 1 today; so far I am really loving this program. I did not get the cardio in yesterday (late breakfast and if I don't get my exercise in early in the morning it doesn't seem to happen later in the day). I like the variety and I like that it is a challenge but it builds up, I know future weeks are going to get much harder

    I started last Thursday (6/4) again. However, this time I am using the 21 Day Fix nutrition plan but with Body Revolution workouts. I don't know about anybody else but I found myself eating the same recipes on Jillian's eating plan, usually the ones that were the easy to make with the fewest ingredients where I didn't have to go buy a bunch of random stuff that I never use. Plus, some of the recipes she paired together as meals served different amounts of people or I couldn't really get a handle on how much an actual serving was. So, anyway, I am doing a hybrid 21DF/BR because I like Jillian's workouts but not the meal plan so much. Anybody else trying this?
