week 7 day 1 workout done! few days of rest were much needed. these triceps workouts are rough! going to feel it tomorrow. the staying in plank form for the first few exercises was pretty exhausting for my arms too.

thanks! i think its an overuse injury... left leg abduction is painful! I'm going to give it another day of rest and start on wednesday. ill just skip cardio days or something to keep on track. we shall see! keep it going though, doing great, half-way point!

Mimi! so funny!

i am not alone! haha i was just wondering where all the people who started at the same time as me went. everybody just has different schedules and tries to fit it the workouts however they can.

@Mellie289‌ thank you! yes, i love how its the measuring tape! i want to get tone :smile:

feeling strong! my hips and knees were horrible at the end of week 3, so i decided to take it easy with them for weeks 4 and 5 by modifying some of the cardio and high intensity moves. I still get my sweat on though! jillian definitely kicks our butts with these vids - quite literally - my butt is super firm. Its the end…

@mellie289 thanks!! felt good

@miriams76 i really do hate that running man haha @the_new_robin2013‌ when i watched the video, it was mostly jumping and high intensity moves, i'm sure it could be modified, but i just didn't even try, i opted out my legs have been feeling a lot better though since I've modified the jumping moves in all of the videos, i…

@mellie289 so true! just do the best you can do and be happy that you gave it all you could :smile:

@harieta I'm just glad week four is over! my knees, ankles, and hips are even happier! haha

@harieta I'm using at the least 5 lbs (lowest weights i own), max 15 lbs

@miriams76 that is amazing! kicking butt! End of phase 1 results: - 2 inches off of upper chest - 1 inch off of upper arms - 1.5 inches off of my hips - down 1.2 pounds everything else is similar. on to phase 2!

my knees, ankles, and hips are hurting too! ibuprofen has been a really good friend this week. i don't know how next week will go though :neutral_face:

W4 D1 Done. Easy Peezy

ugh there goes my diet for the weekend!! at least ill get all my workouts in for the week. i have no idea what all my relatives are feeding me and everyone gets offended if u don't eat ugh. overestimating my cals, no real idea how many cals i ate tonight. indian parties.... indian food.... the butter, the oil, the…

ooo good to know, that makes me feel better that I'm in a decent range with my weights I suppose. I admittedly do most of the moves with the 5lbs. and wow! 8lbs, 10lbs - that is strong ladies! very cool. i'lll work my way up.

I at the least use 5lbs (the smallest dumbbells I own currently) and at the most use 15lbs. Working up to higher weights slowly, but its rough! I have noticed how jillian uses 3lb dumbbells for some moves (when she tells you to grab the lighter weights), but i don't have anything less than 5 so c'est la vie. How heavy are…

wow thats admirable!

y thank you :smiley: @the_new_robin2013

killed it, week 2 workout 2 done

I've always been curious about fitbit! i heard the heart rate fitbit has been released. I'm going to wait and see what the reviews say about it though. i currently use the polar ft4 heart rate monitor (watch + chest strap) and its been showing roughly 250-300 cals burned for my height and weight for the workouts.

Plymouth!

i didn't realize this group was still going! there wasn't much activity when i saw it, and i found the other group first! my bad and still no big deal, whatever gets you going!

@michelle0989 that is exactly where my soreness is! but after todays workout with all the donkey kicks and lunges, its feeling good/relatively normal again, but we will see how i wake up tomorrow haha

week 2 workout 2 done! ba-bam! and i only feel slightly sore from yesterday around the hips (probably from the warrior pose, i got low).

Happy birthday!!

found this awesome blog post of completing total body revolution, inspiring and motivating! http://fitviews.blogspot.com/2012/06/hype-or-help-jillian-michaels-body.html

hiii i started on Dec 29th! there's a group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/101056-jillian-michaels-body-revolution-2015

following her meal plan is tough! i don't have time to go hunt down the ingredients and cook them. don't worry about doing her recipes. i would just try to stick to the 1200 calorie budget though if you are female, and 1800 calorie budget if you are male. eat healthy and eat at least 1200 cals a day, break it up into 3-4…

workout 2 day 5, done. keeping it going. felt good today
