in Fitness and Exercise
Today I did the 4th day of 30DS and it was SOO much better than the last three. Like a lot of you said the soreness went away bu day 4. But what really made a difference was that i MUTED the tv. Such a good idea. I didnt realize how frustrating her voice was until I went without it. I just put on my workout playlist on my computer and everything was good!

    haha I know what you mean. I just finished my first day and I can imagine that by the end of the 30th, I'll be glad to hear silence. But i'll have to wait until I know the dvd exercises a bit better before I mute her as I don't want to miss anything lol

    When I was doing her workout I used to always tell her to shut up lol I couldn't stand her "pep" talks! I found her extremely annoying.

    *shrug* I enjoy listening to her, especially when she's describing which muscles a particular exercise is working. I find it motivating :0)

    Today i bought a bunch of her DVDs including the 30 day shred. I get irritated pretty easy so im hoping i'll get on with these workout DVDs.What sort of diet does she recommend you do alongside the workouts?
    Hoping the lose 12lbs in 6 weeks before my beach holiday, so let see if Jillian can kick my butt into shape!!

    I like listening to Jillian, I find her very motivating. I am pretty sure I would be tempted to stop when my legs or arms burn if she wasn't telling me not to - "as those are the ones that count the most" - that's what pushes me through and makes me determined to "finish strong". I also like knowing which muscle groups I am working, as I wouldn't have a clue and I find it very encouraging to know I am utilising so many at once.

    This!!

    It sucks that we have to listen until we do learn the moves correctly...By that time it will be on to week 2 & we have to listen to her again...UGH!!

    I mute her too! I have several of her dvds and they're great workouts. She annoys me though and if I don't mute her I end up telling her to shut up and quit growling (or whatever the heck she does) at the girls working out with her.

    Aw, I love her! It can get repetitive though, so I understand the muting. Sometimes though, when I am facing away from the tv, or doing push ups, I need her voice to tell me when to switch or end the set.

    I think she gets better as her DVDS progress- I actually laugh out loud at some parts of Ripped in 30... Because what she's saying is true and exactly what you are doing/thinking that second

    I need harsh encouragement to kick my *kitten*! :)

    I tried turbo fire recently and found Chalene waay too cheesy annoying

    I mute her too when I do this video. After I know what she is going to say, I find it irritating to hear over and over. I blast my own music instead :- )

    She makes me MAD!!! I mean I guess that's part of it though.. she wants you to get annoyed and be mad, so you push yourself.. Though, instead I just want to shut her off and go for a run LOL! I hear Bob's videos are better. I youtubed and got clips of his Biggest Loser DVD'S.. I love him so much more just by the clips!

    I used to love JM dvds and they were very effective for me BUT I know what you mean. After I started using some other videos with other instructors I realized how annoying JM can be, particularly in Ripped in 30. She really bugs me in that one. She seems like she is trying too hard to be a hard a**. I don't find her nearly as annoying in NMTZ and BFBM.

    haha I totally do the same thing! I have to mute her and put pandora on. I found that when I listen to her I actually don't work out as hard. But if I have pandora on I tend to work out to the music so I push through so much harder.

    Hmmmm...someone just loaned me a copy of Ripped in 30. I have not tried it yet and I'm slightly afraid, lol. I need someone to push me but I've never been a big fan of hers so we'll have to see. :)

    Riiiiiiiight :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Yea, I'm thinking tomorrow I'm gonna have to mute her and put on some musics.

    I actually don't find her that annoying to be honest. I find her motivating and she actually talks about the exercises and what they are working and tells you why you should push on.

    Now Denise Austin drives me insane because all she says in that stupid annoying voice is "Let's go, keep going, come on, harder, faster, let's go, work, work, work, let's go, you can do it, only twenty more, let's go, come on, ten more now, almost done, let's go" etc,etc. She NEVER has anything good or motivating to say. UGH.

    Yea, she gets on my nerves too but I eventually came to realize that I push myself harder when I hear her.
    That was after muting her on 30DS, RI30, and half way through 6W6P and KB&T.
    I would usually let her talk until I had what she says memorized. Letting her talk means that don't have to keep a constant watch on what she does either. I can just listen and hear when to move on to the next move.
    Kills me when she gets on her soapbox or starts yelling cause it makes it feel like the whole thing is going on longer.

    I do like that she explains why the exercises are set up a certain way, etc and she's very encouraging...but after a week, it gets old. At least for me :smile:

    She's annoying but not as annoying as the others such as the Walk away the pounds, Slim in 6 or Turbo Jam instructors.
