I just did this DVD for the first time in a couple of months...it still kicks my butt, which is a very good thing. I'm on a break from my regular weight training workout so I have decided to only do JM videos this week starting with this one. Still love her!

    Oh yeah, I was sweating too. I didn't wear my HRM though so I don't know how much I actually burned. Sometimes I feel like I've burned a lot because of the amount of sweat that's pouring off of me but then the HRM says I only burned 200 cals.

    Hi Idauria,

    I also really love No more trouble zones - a great workout! And much tougher than Yoga Meltdown or Six week sixpack (although those are great too.) At the moment, I am trying to do it in alternation with Tae Bo for cardio, and extended walking on recovery days.

    How often per week are you HIT training? My first goal was 5 times a week (I still manage only 3-4 times), but then I read the BBC health site, which recommends no more than 3-4 super intense training sessions per week, and something more moderate in between. If you do it every day, you apparently give your muscles no time to recover, and deprive yourself of the afterburn effect.....

    All best, Georgiana

    Hi Georgiana! My main workout for the past few months has been weight training. I've been using a book called The New Rules of Lifting for Women. It's a 7 stage, roughly 6 month program of lifting heavy weights in order to build muscle and burn fat. I try to do JM dvds on my off days just to add cardio. I have an elliptical but I find it so boring. I actually burn more calories(I have a heart rate monitor) doing one of her workouts than the elliptical and I enjoy it more. If I want a weight workout I will do no more trouble zones. This morning I was a little sore from my new rules workout yesterday so I opted for 6 week 6 pack since it's not weight focused. But it's still a great workout, I'm sweating!

    I haven't done exclusive HIIT workouts but I have read that if you're really going all out you shouldn't need to do more than 3 a week because you need time to recover. If you are weight training you shouldn't work the same muscles two days in a row. Straight cardio can be done every day I believe.

    I hope this wasn't confusing and answers your questions!
