Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution 2016

Well ladies I'm on day 4 of a horrible chest cold. I have my last workout 2 and cardio before moving in the workouts 3&4. I know they are harder so I want to be 100% before getting back at it. Just very frustrated I will lose my progress. I think I may do cardio today and finish with w/o 2 tomorrow.

I love seeing all the progress posts. Keep it up!!

Thanks for your concern dmegan012 . I managed to do both dvd's and felt better for it after. I couldnt have done it yesterday. I will try again tomorrow to double up. I know it is daft but I really want to catch up and start week 3 fresh on Monday. You keep going, it will soon become a habit in my experience.

Hello. I'm just about done with week 1, only cardio 1 left. And yes, I too hate the running man; It hurts my knees and causes my boobs to get slap-happy. For Insanity and now JMBR I sub the running man (scissor kick) with something comparable like back lunges. I'm not following her meal plan due to the inefficiency of the groceries used for one person, but I am eating clean and keeping my food at 1200kcal. I'm using the heaviest weights I can for each exercise. I don't have a scale but my shirts and pants already seem to be slightly more loose (even after wash day).

I am not following the meal plan, I dont know if it is because I am in the UK, but it looks a bit of a faff to me! and also as 108victorian says, the recipe's are for 4 in the main, not suited to my household. Today I have done my week 2 workout 1 plus cardio in my "catch up" efforts. Felt pretty good, then went for a walk for an hour, so feeling pretty positive, when I do Workout 2 tomorrow I will be back on track to start week 3 Monday . I used heavier weights today for some of the exercises and tried to do the plyo sumo squats , and flipping heck ! I managed it. proudness surrounds me ! I want to be able to do a lunge jump thing, cant remember what it is called, but that is my next goal, whilst working towards being able to do a full push up... well more than the 1 i can do. I will let you know when I get to 2 in a row. Just a thought @108victorian , when I started exercising last year, I was on 1200 calories and exercising, but not losing much weight. The weight loss started when I went up to 1400 a day. It is just a thought, I am no expert ! I lost 28 lbs in a few months when i put the intake up

@dani_doing_it @sallymason88 Just make sure you let your body heal. Being ill is very hard work for it, and if you add too much extra stress, it can take longer to get better.

Did my first Week 3 workout today I've never made it this far before! I usually quit about halfway through Week 2. I really think I can do it this time. Quitting doesn't feel like an option.

Thank you!!!

I pushed too much last Sunday and it made things worse. I'm dressed and ready to get my final workout 2 in today. I've been eating like crap this week - fast easy food so I'm happy to be getting back to it this week

Thanks @sallymason88. I just finished w/o 2. The hip thrusts were a struggle today and I know she gets into some much hard variations of them as the workouts progress.

Week 2 completed. Starting week 3 tomorrow. also did a walk for 90 mins. According to my HRM I burned 730 calories. I was striding out as fast as I could to some fitness music, but I find that burn hard to believe. I will eat half back, or maybe 300.

Week 3, workout 4. It is slightly harder. I couldnt do the plank'os (i think that is what she said) I could only do a couple. Still only able to do one military push up, i tried 2, not happening

Happy Monday! I'm starting week 3 today, and finding it hard to get motivate. It is hard for me to workout on weekends with everyone home, and having 2 day off has killed my motivation. Also, I go back to college today.. I'm really determined to finish this program!!

How is everyone else doing with the program?

Hey everyone I am currently on week 2 of body revolution. Have anyone had success with this program before?

Yes...it is my favorite JM workouts!

I just started week 3 today! Late to the thread but looking for others who started BR when I did. How are you doing with it?!

I am almost done with week 3. I am using 5lbs for workout 3 and workout 4. I am substituting cardio 1 with other cardio workout. I have completed the whole program once 3 years ago and really loved the results. I am very excited to do it all over again.

Ive started week 5 of BodyShred. Ive only lost 1lb so far but have lost an inch on my waist and feel great. Like all other CDs, I do not care much for the first week because I am still learning the steps and my body is in shock from all the new moves. The 2nd week is fun, but then its on to the next CD =D. No complaints from week five, but I will say this - it reminds me of when I used to workout with kettlebells!

I did workout #3 this morning. I really am not big fan of plank and push-up, but I know it does work very well to tone the body. I always like the even number workouts better. This round I am replacing the cardio with spinning, elliptical and some other gym workouts. I am trying to get 150-200 min of cardio every week.

sarisweetie26 I did finish a whole round of JMBR three years ago and loved the result. I am sure you will enjoy it too.
