Day 1
It took me ages to get this. I live in the UK so couldn't get it from the website. By the time I'd bought it from USA eBay, paid postage and the import duty, it cost me nearly £150!
I'm 5ft 7 and weigh 10 st 11. (151 pounds). I have lost about 8 pounds by diet but want to tone up and lose about another 7 pounds.
Started today with workout 1. I REALLY enjoyed it. I found the workout less repetitive than 30 DS and found it was just about the correct level. It pushed me, but wasn't TOO hard. I did find the warrior pose easy though- not sure why. I'm really looking forward to routine 2.
I'm not going to follow the food plan, I'm using a diet set for me by a dietician.

Hi Welcome.I'm glad your here with us :happy:0

I love reading what people think about this I am starting mine in 8/6. I am in a wedding on 8/4 and if I lose anything my dress will need alterations. So for now I maintain.
Keep us posted on how it is going for you :-)0 -
I'm half way through (onto week 8 this week). It's quite different to her other programmes, but I am really enjoying it!0
-
Thanks. I'm hoping to post everyday. Really looking forward to doing it later. A BIT stuff this morning but not too bad. I'll probably be worse tomorrow though.0

Day 2/2 (I'm writing it like that to be more accountable so hopefully less likely to miss a day.)
Just did workout 2. I got stiffer as the day went on and so I felt the warm up wasn't long enough. I also don't like her cool down stretch so I also do one from 10 minute solutions pilates. The workout though was good. Again I followed it as she said withput any modifications and again it pushed me, but wasn't impossible. Again it was really varied thoughout the workout so didn;t get bored.
I STILL love it!0 -
Good job!
I agree her stretches are never long enough, you can see how inflexible she is!0 -
Day 3/3. Cardio 1
Quite tough. First circuit was difficult as I didn't feel warmed up enough and third because I was knackered. Felt good during second circuit though.
Think I'll do my own, longer warm up in future. Again, varied routine which was good.0 -
Day 4/4. Workout 1 for the second time.
Was really stiff when I started. My one sports bra was in the wash and I was short of time. Previously this would have been the excuses I needed to not exercise but because it's a programme. I did it. I think being accountable to write this helped. I've also printed out a table for my fridge which I complete each day showing I've done the workout, and I make notes.
Anyway, it was tough to start but one I got into it, it was manageable. I went up to 2kg weight. I'm going to have to buy some bigger ones.0 -
Way to work through the "excuse" and work out anyway! I used to be the master of excuses, not it is a habit to not make one! You are doing awesome!0

Thanks Mayday 0

Day 4/4. Cardio 2- second time.
. I REALLY couldn't be bothered today. Not much sleep last night.
I did it though and sooo glad I did. Even though I used heavier weights than the first time I did it- is was much easier. Need to borrow some weights as my 2kg are too light
As I wash washing my arms in the shower-I even thought I felt some muscle.0 -
Oh dear. My first relapse. Was supposed to do cardio 1 today but I didn't. Was busy all day but could have done it in the evening but made the excuse that I would swap by rest day and do it tomorrow instead. So, not only did I not do it, I picked all evening. I don't have rubbish in the house do it was only fruit and cereal but still ate more than I needed.
One positive thing though is I was late for my train so I ran for it. Felt a lot fitter than I used to.0 -
Day 8/8
Circuit 1 for third time
Felt sooo much better after rest day. Dud all the harder options and increased weights to 2.5 kg for most of exercises. Tried full press up but couldn't though.
Was feeling a but fed up if it yesterday but fired up again now.0 -
Day 9/9. Circuit 2 for the thurs time.
Beginning to fel some muscle in various places and feeling thinner. Put weights up to 3kg. Felt quite strong today. Really enjoyed it. Can't believe how improvements are coming so quickly. Not nearly as sore now.0 -
You are doing great! Keep it up!0
-
That's great ! :happy:0
-
Thanks. It really helps knowing I have to 'report in' everyday.0
-
You know we're keeping tabs on you
That's what helps keep me going, that others know I'm doing the program. Keep up the good work! 0 -
Day 10. Decided to run today instead of doing the cardio. Forgot how much I enjoyed it. It seems a waste to be working out indoors in the summer.
Thinking of delaying BR to the long winter nights and doing Chalean Extreme alternating with couch to 5k. Has anyone else done that?0 -
Day 11/11
Decided to probably integrate running wirhBR instead.
Did workout 1 for the fourth and final time. Feels odd that I won't do it again. Did 3.5kg weights for some of it and jumped for some of the squats. It felt good doing it and I wasn't stiff. Looking forward to tomorrow. Think I'm going to do C25K tomorrow.0 -
Day 13/12
I wimped out yesterday. Just busy and tired. No real excuse.
Back to it today though. Just done workout 2 for the fourth and last time.
Cardio tomorrow - either run or Cardio 1 workout, depending in weather.
I'm feeling hardly stiff at all, and more flexible ( I do extra stretches than just her ones).0 -
Day 15/14- rest day. Yahoooo.
Again yesterday, I did week 3 of couch to 5k instead of the cardio.
Knee is hurting today. I hope it's ok for tomorrow as starting workout 3 for the first time.0 -
Day 16/15
Finished the first half phase and started week 3 today. I did workout 3 for the first time. Amazingly she made me try a REAL pushup, and I did two. Never done that before in my life!
It started well but got tougher. There were two exercises I just couldn't do. One was the elbow plank thing- I just did elbow planks instead. The other was something to a crescent pose. In the past is have just got fed up but now I'm looking firward to being able to do it by the end of the next two weeks.
Kept weights heavy for most exercises but had to go down in weight for the tricep behind your head thingy.
Looking firward to seeing what workout 4 has to bring tomorrow.0 -
Sounds like you're doing great! I incorporate the Couch to 5k with my JMBR also, so the days when I run AND do my workout I burn between 700-800 calories~ makes me happy! I will be starting workout 3 on Monday
Keep up the good work!0 -
Thanks. Good luck with workout three. You might need it!!0
-
Day 17/16. Workout 4 for the first time.
I found this easier than workout 3 but I couldn't use my (relatively) heavy weights for all the exercises.
I couldn't do the plank thing. Just dud a normal plank. Think the rest was Ok though. Hopefully I'll be doing plank variations soon.0 -
Hang in there on the planks! They will come.0
-
Thanks. I hope so!0
-
Whoa, I did need the luck for workout 3! Yesterday was rough, workout 4 today wasn't too bad Keep up the great work! Those planks are killer
