Phase 1, Week 1 and 2
Replies
-
I just finished the Week 1 Workout 1. I'd heard how hard her workouts were, so I was terrified I wouldn't be able to do it (I'm REALLY out of shape). But it wasn't too bad. I definitely feel it, and there were some exercises I couldn't quite do all the reps/time. I'm sure it's going to get much harder, and I'm glad to be happy with myself and not discouraged today
I'm starting the C25K program, so I'm going to do that instead of the 2nd cardio. I'm planning on doing a Warrior Dash in July, and this is the beginning of my path.
For food, I'm doing a modified version of her kickstart, based on what I already have in the house. It's pretty close to what I've been eating since joining MFP anyway. I decided that doing 2 workouts most days is a big enough change for me right now 0 -
I started the program yesterday and was concerned it wasn't challenging enough. Until I woke up this morning and coughed. Oh my, my abs were killing me. Shampooing my hair, felt it all in my shoulders. I love that soreness the day after a workout. Did phase 1, week 1, day 2 this morning and LOVED it! I think I'm going to do couch to 5K as my cardio work. I tried the cardio dvd and just couldn't get into it. Can't wait to see what's hurting tomorrow!0

Ok,I did Jillian Michaels Body Revolution Phase 1 week 2 workout 2/Day 10 today.I feel great.Consistency is the key.Have a happy day everyone.we can do it.:happy:0

Week 2 Day 2 today! Felt great! I pigged out and had a few drinks last night, but I did well on Sunday, so I figured that was a "spike day" :-) I watched workout 3 today as well, it looks super fun!! :-)0
-
I finished day 2 today! I am doing the kick start so I did two workouts yesterday and two today. I work until 1am though so I can only do them back-to-back on MTHF. At least I will be able to space out the double cardio workouts! I have also been following the kick start menu very closely. After the kick start is over, I plan on doing additional cardio (C25K) at night three times a week (I can go to the gym on my dinner break) and sticking pretty close to the 90 day meal plan.
I'm loving the workouts so far. At first I was afraid that the workouts weren't challenging enough (I have 5 other JM videos and have fully completed 30 day shred) but when I woke up this morning I was really sore. It feels great! Keep up the great work everyone!0 -

Tomorrow I finish out Week 2 and feel great! I lost a total of 5.5 in Week 1 & 2 and I am in my last 15 pounds. So, I was stoked about this!!! Can't wait to start Week 3 and bump it up a bit! :-)0

I'm finished week 1 and 2 too.I move on to week 3 and 4 on Monday.I really enjoyed her workouts and I look forward to week 3 and 4 and getting in the best shape ever.:happy:0

I started week 2 today and I had to step up my weights and do the advanced moves. Who knew that after a week I would be ready to step it up....certainly not me. I still have trouble with her push ups and planks because my upper body is weak and I carry all of my weight from my belly button up.
I can say that two weeks ago I couldn't get my favorite pair of True Religion jeans buttoned and I had to jump up and down to get them on, but after last week's kick start, I was able to get them on and wear them comfortably out on Saturday night with my hubby. I was sooooo excited that I celebrated by having 3 margaritas! Talk about calories...yikes. Weigh in day for me is tomorrow, so I am hoping that I didn't mess up my weight loss this weekend, but I can see and feel my body shrinking already just after one week.
I was planning to continue the kick start this week and keep up the two workouts, but my week is completely packed with kids sporting events, my school work (midterms...yikes) and just regular life issues, so this week I am only doing one workout per day and then will probably start adding in two workouts 3 days a week starting with week 3.
Keep up the great work and have fun!0 -
Today is a rest day for me b4 the start wrkout 3 & 4 this wk. Lookin forward to it. I did my weigh in this wk and I'm down 1 lb. I'm @ 166.8 lbs another lose which is gud hope it keeps goin in the same direction. Total in 2 wks I'm lost 5.6 lbs. Not bad if I do say so myself. Can't wait to see wat this upcomin wk brings me.0

Just started yesterday....... I did Week 1 Day 2 today, and am liking the workouts. They aren't killer, but I feel like I'm getting some basics in that 30 Day Shred and NMTZ skipped over (like just holding the planks for 30 seconds, etc.)...... I'm sore but not dying.
I'm going to be mixing this in with some running, as I have a few 5Ks coming up, but will try to do this as consistently as I can.0 -
I'm not officially starting until 3/19, because I have a head cold and couldn't workout yesterday, but my medicine kicked in and I thought I'd try workout 1. Here are my thoughts:
Though I have a bad head cold and haven't worked out "hard" in a few weeks, I wouldn't call workout 1 "easy". For me, it was doable, but when it was done, I was sweaty and felt like I got a good workout. I did add some challenge throughout, with using heavier weights, full push-ups and some plyo moves in the first circuits.
I LOVE these workouts...they combine my favorite things: circuit training, kickboxing, and yoga.
The length is awesome! Just long enough to get a good workout, but easy to fit in to your life.
I previewed the cardio 1 DVD and it looks challenging, but I can do all the moves. I will try that one tomorrow...
I plan to do workout 2 and the cardio dvd this week and officially start the Kickstart week next week. I can't imagine how I'll do the workouts back-to-back, but that's what I will have to do (because of my schedule).0 -
My whole family just finished the first week. We did the HIGHLY restrictive Jumpstart as well as followed the plan with one workout per day. It is my husband, myself, my almost 14 year old and my almost 12 year old. This morning we weighed in and CELEBRATED! As a family, we are down 37 lbs in the first week.
I'm excited to see how things keep going and really excited at the additional options for meals. My boys still eat regular school lunch, but have changed everything they do at home. They are really motivated, which is also motivating for me and my husband!
I look forward to reading how people are doing in week 2!0 -
Good for you! It sounds like we are very similar, I lost 10 the first week, I'm on day 9 right now. My entire family DESPISED the greek yogurt...yikes that stuff is terrible! I also didn't want to do the Jillian website, I hate those "You can cancel at any time" deals, I always seem to forget to cancel and end up being charged for months before I catch it. If you are interested, we could "friend" and then we could track together?
I am wondering if we could exchange a lunch for a dinner once you are outside of the 7 day Metabolism makeover? The meat side dishes are giving my family some struggles...any ideas?0 -
wow! i am on day 5, and have lost 4 pounds so far, AND went spring dress shopping to look cute at a friend's wedding tomorow, and got a LARGE instead of an EXTRA LARGE! I am unbelievably pumped. This program is working! I have never sweat this much during a Jillian DVD! and I have so much fun! 0

Just finished week 1 and have lost no weight yet
. Slightly discouraged but am NOT going to give up. Hopefully when I weigh myself on Friday I'll see a difference! 0 -

I also just finished the Kick-start program and gained 1 pound, but I am definitely not discouraged. I wasn't following Jillian's meal program. I also did not starve myself with her first week low calorie diet. I had 1700 cal/day and counted on burning 500 with 2/day exercises. Maybe I wasn't burning 500 and gained weight for that reason.
Overall i feel stronger, faster and feel great.
So lets stay strong, watch our diet and change will come!!!0 -
What is the best device to measure how many calories I burn during my work outs?0

I am new to the program, actually today is the last day of the kick start for me...yay! Although I think I am going to incorporate some of the food from kick start into week one since most of it was a no brainer to prepare but I was wondering what type of heart monitor you have? It has been a while since I have worked out so I struggled a little in the beginning of the kick start but I've noticed each day is getting better. ;0)0

Whew. Workout 1... the only time I was wishing it would end soon was on the squats at the very beginning. They do them fast! I do feel great now, however, I am disappointed because I only burnt 254 calories in the 31 minutes of Workout 1.
I've been doing JM workouts 5-6 days a week for the past year religiously, so maybe that's why this workout wasn't really challenging. Can't wait for the time when I yell at the TV for her to shut up
I only burned 192! That is very disappointing, so I think I'm adding weights to some of the moves next time.0 -

A heart rate monitor. You can get one for around $50 and they go up from there. I just got a $50 one from Walmart a few years ago and it still works fine. Mine has the watch and chest strap.0 -
I'm starting the program on Monday.. but am curious, how many calories are you burning in Workout 1?
[/quote]
I burned around 330 for workout 1 and about the same for workout 2.

Just curious how much do you weigh? I only burned 192 during workout 1 today and I'm trying to figure out why it is so low. Thanks!0 -
For me personally, I burned 235 calories. I have over 100+ lbs to lose but I think the first time you complete the workout, its not at 110% because your watching the tv to see what comes next, etc. I find that once I do a workout a second time and have an idea of the flow of things, I burn a lot more calories. I'll let you know what I burn tomorrow for comparison

Hey y'all don't get discoureged I burnet 125 cal for workout 1 and 150 for workout 2
it's not about the calories it's about training the muscle to burn fat for the next 48 hours0 -
Today is day 4. I have officially done workouts 1 and 2 as well as cardio 1. I must say that I was expecting cardio 1 to be a lot harder after reading all the reviews of it here. Not saying it was easy at all- I think you guys psyched me up about it haha.
I am LOVING this program so much. I was between this one and P90X (which I already owned) and decided to spend the money to start this one. I'm SO happy I did. I have been looking forward to working out every day because the workouts are fun and the cast is interesting. So happy with it.0 -
Today is my Day 2 on Phase 1. I love Jill. She is the best. She is really mean! She is quite motivating and expects us to give our best. My burn was around 159 for Workout 1 and Workout 2. But, I know I did not push harded like Omar on the DVD... I want to get the form right and then I will try to perfect it.
Currently, I am doing the "Reboot your Life" (juicing) and I am on Day 3. Once I am done with that program, I will do the JMBR Kickstart. Can't wait to shed all the lbs.
Cheers!0 -

I'm in Week 1 (not doing kickstart) and average around 150 cals each for Workout 1, 2 and Cardio.
I wear a HRM, am 51 y/o, weigh 205 and 5'0".
If you're disappointed in the burn, bear in mind that it's only THIRTY minutes and as someone else said it's about training the muscle to burn LONGER than the workout.
I will admit that I was one who was disappointed on the first day but have since come to realize these things. On most days, Revolution is not my only workout.
ETA~ this is to respond to stef0 -
For me, my calorie burns are about the same for all 3 workouts: around 350 (sometimes a bit higher). I am 5'7", 243 lbs., and a 37 year-old female.
For me, the workouts have not been "easy", but doable. I try to push myself, but I don't do all of the advanced moves, but try to add them when I can. I use a Polar F6 HRM and generally try to keep my heart rate high.0 -
I was pretty disappointed in my calorie burn for the first workout, just 181 calories. I use a heart rate monitor. Not really a bad burn since I'm used to seeing the number of calories burned based on an hour, but expected more for a JM workout. Also first time I've ever done one of her workouts. I am glad I was able to complete the workout, I was worried about that.0
