    Well, I couldn't get myself out of bed this morning for Day 2, but I came home from work and did it tonight. I'm glad I did! I'm using 5 lb weights. As with Day 1, some of the transitions are a bit quick for me, but I catch up. I was surprised that the cable was used in Day 2, and I wish she had an intro to show how to set it up (I'm still not sure I have it right; I may use a stretch band). Anyone tips would be appreciated.

    Good luck to everyone! Stay with it. :happy:

    Day 2 - done. Did Workout 2 + two circuits of Cardio 1. 52 minutes, 491kcal burned. I really need to get heavier weights!
    However, I'm not going to follow the meal plan; there's no way I'm starving myself on 1200kcal.

    I'm hoping the workouts will get more challenging.

    Did Day 3 this morning, that is Cardio 1. Also did Extreme Shed & Shred Level 1. Went on a 20-minute jog in the evening as well.
    Day 4 tomorrow - bring it on!

    I started on Sunday April 1 because Saturdays off work better for me. Today was my 2nd go at workout 1. I love this one, I feel soooo good after it. I was sore after workout 2 and dead after cardio 1, probably because walking has been all the exercise I had been getting recently.

    Day 4 - check! Workout 1 + Cardio 1. I'm thinking of moving on to Workouts 3 & 4 next week, though.
    And I wish she would have included more Cardio workouts rather than just one per phase

    I just got mine today. Will be starting on Monday. I also run 3-4 days/week (avg. 26 miles/wk) and take spin classes. I'm going to do the Revolution in the evenings. I find I need to change things up at least once a year. Last year I did Insanity so this will be my change-up for this year.

    Day 3 for me... I hadn't been doing the cardio because I wasn't getting myself up in the morning to do a workout, so was doing the a.m. workout in the p.m. Today was my Day 3, and tonight I saw it was Cardio a.m. and Cardio p.m. so I did the cardio. It wore me out, but I'm glad I did it.

    A bit of a funny: I didn't read the book and just popped in disc 3. Boy was I surprised when Jillian noted it was month 2. I was like, 'wait, wait, it's my first week!' I stopped the disc and went back to the menu to make sure it was the right disc. When it showed Disc 3, my first thought was the manufacturer had made a mistake. But then I looked in the book and saw today was the cardio disc and tomorrow it's back to Disc 1. Whew, what a relief. :bigsmile:

    Hope you're all feeling success! :drinker:

    Day 6 - check. Cardio 1 + a 30-minute bike ride! I think I'm gonna do Killer Buns & Thighs Level 2 tomorrow (it still manages to get my @ss sore), and, weather permitting, do a jog.

    Day 1 with Jillian. Pretty easy but I'm just looking for something to change my workouts up. I also ran 10 miles this morning. Over 1100 calories burned today. I only burned 157 with the DVD. I need to add some of the hops and heavier weights.

    I started this mid-March and sadly haven't seen a ton of weight come off yet. But I haven't been following her diet either - just trying to track on MFP...although I have fallen off that wagon lately too... but I'm starting tracking again today and starting week 5 today...hoping for big results this month. Does anyone know how many calories her workouts burn? What do you enter in for exercise on the non-cardio days?

    Cardio 1 - check! Got a nice burn (and legs still sore from yesterday), used 2.2lb dumbbells for the first five moves, arms are feeling it a bit! Might go for a jog in the evening, but I think I'm getting shin splints :(

    Workouts 3 & 4 - check! I really like both (and I do some moves with two dumbbells in each hand), but I have no abs strength at all, so hollow man and squirms are a nightmare! + went on a bike ride for an hour today.

    How is everyone else doing?

    I will be done with Phase 1 tomorrow. I like Jillian, but I am not going to continue with the program. I have osteoarthritis in my knees so can't complete all of the moves. I modify, but don't feel like I work as hard when modifying. I am just going to start lifting heavy weights and low impact cardio.

    If you know anyone who wants to purchase the program, I will give it to them for half the price or best offer. I just don't want it to go to waste.

    Week 2 - check (Well, it's Week 3 according to the plan, actually, since I only did one week of workouts 1&2)! Starting to get a bit bored with the cardio DVD.

    Rest day for me, but I did Extreme Shed & Shred Level 1 this morning. I'm moving my rest days to Mondays, though.

    One more day of Cardio 1 for me, and I'm moving on to Phase 2 as I want to be done with Body Revolution by the end of May.

    Substituted Killer Buns & Thighs for Cardio 1; wow, those step-ups to backward lunges with a 9 lb dumbbell in each hand nearly killed me!
    Moving on to Phase 2 tomorrow, but I don't see any results, though, my pants even feel tighter than before.
