Hello everyone!
I have recently become a Jillian Michaels circuit training junkie and now have most of her videos. I had been stuck at the same weight forever and her videos really have been working well for me. I finished the 30 day shred in June and now I'm working on ripped in 30 for July. I am planning on starting the 30 day slimdown on August 1st, which incorporates multiple Jillian Michaels videos throughout a 30 day period. This program was suggested to me by a MFP friend (thanks!).
I would love having some support so I thought I would post this a little early and see if anyone is interested in buddying up. Here is the program schedule as is:

What are Quick Trouble Zones you ask?
“Quick Trouble Zones” are the circuits/exercises within the “No More Trouble Zones” workout that do NOT require you to get on the floor, ie. floorwork. For example, the circuits or exercises where you have to get on your knees, touch the floor with your hands or sit on the floor you OMIT from the No More Trouble Zones workout. When you eliminate the floorwork portion from the “No More Trouble Zones” workout you are performing “Quick Trouble Zones”

I'm in! I am hoping to finish 30DS soon. I am at LEvel 3 day 3. I don't do it everyday so it has taken me a while. I also do Zumba and use my elliptical. I have all the dvds from JM that you have listed (I think, if not I'll get the ones I may not have!!) Sounds like a terrific challenge and a great way to utilize my dvd collection! I'll send you a friend request!!!0

Hi,
My name is Kim. I am so with you on this. I've done it once before and have gotten great results. I like the idea of mixing in Ripped in 30 (I don't have that one).
If you don't mind, I might start a bit early in case I fall behind. I am also doing the C25K which I am on Week 5.
I am so very excited that I found this thread.

That's awesome! Yes, if you need to start early that is completely fine. We'll be here to motivate you and then when we get going you can make sure we stick with it.

I'm not sure...I have not done this challenge before but I was also curious of the same thing. I might pop in the NMTZ video sometime soon and take a look at it to see what it will be like. I've done NMTZ before but it was back in January and it was mixed with other videos so I can't remember it all that well. I wanna say that the quick parts will be mixed in with the floorwork throughout the entire video but I'm not sure.0 -

I want to say segment 3 (abs) and segment 7 (leg lifts)...I guess popping it in is the best way to figure it out...anyway, I am super excited to get started.0 -
Thanks, I am in an elimination challenge that I run and need to jump start things on this end!!! I was almost eliminated on Wednesday. :noway:0

I am so in! I have read about this 30 Day Slimdown on the forums on here and was planning on starting this next month! I also completed 30DS in June and am doing Ripped in 30 right now (in the second week!) and will be done with that right before August. The timing could not be more perfect
I have her NMTZ and BFBM dvds so I am good to go!
Also, I found this breakdown online of the NMTZ circuits, so I guess for Quick Trouble Zones, we would do circuits 1, 3, and 4 only?
Circuit #1- Shoulder & Legs
- Squat with Shoulder Press
- Backwards Lunge with Side Shoulder Raise (repeat on other leg)
- Chair Squat with Front Shoulder Raise
- Front Shoulder PressOuts
Circuit #2- Chest & Abs
- Chest Press with a Crunch
- Chest Fly with Double Leg Raise
- Bicycle Crunches
- Squirms (lying down with knees bent. lift head and shoulder blades off ground and alternate bending to the side and tapping your heels).
- PushUp
Circuit #3- Biceps & Butt
- Deadlift with Hammer Curl
- Static Squat with Concentration Curl
- Front Lunge with Wide Grip Curl (repeat on other leg)
- Side Lunge with Biceps Curl
Circuit #4- Thighs & Triceps
- Chair Pose with Triceps Kickback
- Sumo Squat with Overhead Triceps Press
- Surrender (step back and down to kneeling position then stand up again)
- Forward Lunge with Triceps Pushback (repeat on other leg)
Circuit #5- Core
- Double Crunches
- Twisting Plank
- Plank with ToeTaps (repeat with other leg)
- Windshield Wipers (lying down lift both legs and move from side-to-side)
Circuit #6- Upper Body & Core
- Plank with Back Rows

This sounds good although I think I would add just one other segment and alternate...gotta work those abs!!!
If anyone has Comcast-on-Demand...they have QTZ on there to view - or - just do!!!0 -
I'm in! I'm working through the 30DS and will be done by July 31st and am planning to start a new program August 1st! So this works perfectly! How are you liking Ripped in 30?0

I personally really like Ripped in 30! It's pretty similar to 30ds but I actually like it more so far. The format is the same in that she uses the 3-2-1 training, some of the moves I've seen in 30ds but there are definitely some new ones too. She also adds another move for strength so there are 3 moves in each circuit instead of 2. I will probably incorporate Ripped in 30 into the Slimdown routine as well!0 -
Starting weight 174.6
Bust: 39
Waist: 33 7/8
ABD: 41 3/4
hips: 43 1/4
Thigh: 25 1/4
Total inches: 183.125
I am going to track weight and inches. I'll do this again in 2 weeks and at the end. I am also in the midst of the C25K program for an extra boost. I am stalled and need to do somthing!!!0 -
Wow! This thread got busy! Thanks for looking into the quick trouble zones. It'll be nice to know what to do before getting started. I'm glad that the floorwork isn't mixed in throughout the entire video. That would have been a little counter-productive.) 0

Hi everyone! I've just started the 30DS and won't be finished until mid-August. Maybe I can do both. I was going to do the Ripped in 30 after this. I will check to see which videos I have of hers. Too many are collecting dust!

I agree with everything said above. It's a great workout! I also liked that there are 3 strength moves instead of 2 like the previous poster stated. I found levels 1&2 were difficult but after coming right off of the 30 day shred they were not too bad. I'm glad I did the shred first though because I feel like ripped is more of a challenge. I started level 3 of ripped a few days ago and not going to lie, it has been tough. She makes you do this move called "duck walks" and basically tells you to swear at her, which of course I comply with.0 -

Great idea! I'll probably post my before and after pictures when I'm done and I'll try to take measurements this time too.0 -

I am currently doing a similar challenge. I go ahead and do circuit 2 so I dont have to stop and forward the dvd, but that just me.
Good Luck everyone!0 -
Thanks for the tip kel7298! That's a really good idea.0

Day #1, July 15th, Shred #1 & 1/2 of C25K

Is anyone else starting now? Let the games begin....0 -

WTG! It sounds like you will be starting us all off! Keep up the great work!0 -
Thanks, I just was ready to get started. I took pictures, my weight and measurements at the beginning...so, when I hit day 30, I can post and hopefully have dramatic, gorgeous results to inspire everyone :drinker:
I just bought Ripped in 30...the cover even looks scary!! :noway:0 -
I am new to MFP and would like a challenge to really jump start my workouts. I have tried the 30 day shred in the past but never completed it. I was actually thinking about giving it a try again. I think this mix of workouts will really keep me interested because I don't like doing the same workouts everyday.0
