I love Moving Comfort bras, too. Also, check out Title Nine Sports - online (or they have stores in some states) - they have a great selection of bras for BBGs (bigger breasted gals). Good luck!

I used a HRM when playing Just Dance with my daughter and I burned about 260 calories in an hour, so your calculation may be accurate. Good luck - it's a great way to burn some calories while having fun with your kids!

Title 9 Sports has some excellent ones - my favorite is the 7 Wonders Sport Bra - great support without feeling like you're being suffocated.

I do KBT about 2 times a week and then do other Jillian DVDs the remaining days (along with at least one "rest day"/week).

I'm still in! Did level 2 this a.m. - ouch, ouch, ouch! What more can I say?! I'm also doing 6w6p - will do that tomorrow a.m. I need to make some official measurements, but believe I've lost a couple inches in my thighs and hips doing KBT!

Finished day 1 of level 2 - holy moly! Not sure where to start. It was definitely challenging! Things I can't do (yet): the one leg burpee jump; the crab dance; many more. But I am proud that I could do the Star Jumps at the end! Great burn on this workout!

I highly recommend RI30 - it's very similar to 30DS except the 3 minute strength segments have 3 exercises (rather than just 2). Also there are 4 levels; I'm currently on Level 4 and I've seen really good results - I've lost several inches and feel tight/toned. Good luck!

I'm starting level 2 tomorrow - I'll check in with you all then!

Completed day 2, week 4 - ugh!!! My arms are so sore! Glad I did it, though.

Completed Week 4, Day 1 this a.m. - I was definitely gargling my heart during the scissor jumps (my HRM was beeping like crazy that I was at my maximum HR). Since I didn't watch it before doing the workout, I paused a lot to figure out what moves they were doing. Going to give it another try tomorrow.

^^^ Just do what you can - I have some wrist issues and sometimes instead of keeping my hands flat on the ground, I make a fist and hold myself up like that (give it a try - it may help you). If you're doing your best and giving effort, you don't have to be perfect (remember Jillian says "Perfect Sucks!" - I think she says…

Seeing a difference is measurements (for me that's been motivating because I'm not seeing a lot of movement on the scale). Put on a pair of workout shorts and noticed there was extra room in the upper thighs than in the past. :) Keep at it, ladies!!!

Did level 1 this a.m. (burned a ton of calories) - I'll probably stick with it for the next week before moving to level 2 (I don't do KBT every day). I was sick last week so it feels great to get back on track!

Way to go! That's awesome - I'll be starting week 4 next week so hopefully I'll be able to join you in the "I did it!" club!

For those of you on week 2, should I watch it once before attempting it? I found this would have been helpful with RI30 (week 3) because there were so many "new" moves that I hadn't attempted before. So, how does it compare to week 1? I'm staying on week 1 for another week since I only do KBT 2-3x/week.

bump for later - great info!

I'll probably do another week of level 1 since I only did it 3x this week - I did it last on Friday and by buns/legs were still sore today. The move I still hate is the side plank inner thigh lift! My favorite is the last circuit with the kickboxing moves! Hope everyone is feeling their buns/legs toning! I know I am!

I "think" it may be because you're really using your lower body (buns/thighs - the biggest muscle groups) in KBT and that revs up your HR more then arms - also that combined with a some of the strictly cardio intervals really makes you sweat! Love it - makes me feel like I accomplished a lot (sore muscles help with that ,…

I'll do day 2 (level 1) tomorrow (oh boy, looking forward to THAT) - did 6 week 6 pack this morning - I haven't done that one in a while so I'm guessing my core will be screaming at me tomorrow. :)

I'm mixing it up, too - I can't do consecutive days of KBT. I did KBT yesterday and did RI30 today and plan on doing 6w6p tomorrow and then I'll be back to KBT on either Thursday or Friday (depending on which day I decide to rest).

^^ This is great advice and perspective! Hope I remember it when my daughter becomes a teenager! My mom, too, placed a high value on looks and appearances - I think that's how she valued herself (or at least that's what she saw as her main value - even though she had/has a TON to offer outside of her looks).

WTG! You look great!

Did Level 1 this a.m. - great butt burner! The only move I really can't do is the plank inner thigh lift (i can't even do the modified anita version) so I just prop up on my elbow and lift that way! How is everyone doing?

Good luck! You can do it! I'm on day 4 of week 3 and it gets a little easier as you go - I still can't do most of the advanced moves, but I'm feeling stronger!

very inspiring - you all look fabulous! Keeping this post for motivation!

Here's my measurements: Age: 43 Height: 5'6" CW: 162 Natural Waist: 32.5" Belly Button Waist: 36" Hips: 39" Bust: 40" L upper thigh: 24 L mid thigh: 20 R upper thigh: 24 R mid thigh: 20

You are truly inspiring! You look incredible and are proof that "slow and steady can win the race!" Keep up all the great work! Thanks for posting your story!

Ok I cheated and did Week 2 (instead of week 3) but did the majority of the advanced moves (cheerleader shelly). Using my new HRM found out I'm burning more calories than I estimated (not a ton more). Since I hadn't done RI30 since Sunday, I didn't want to kill myself with week 3, but I'll be back at it tomorrow a.m. with…

I'm back from my business trip and ready to hit week 3 of RI30 again (hopefully - I haven't done it since Sunday)! Couldn't do much exercise - hotel I stayed at was an older historic one without any fitness center and I'm not much of a runner!

The Duck walk definitely sucks - as does the bear crawl! I'm traveling for the next couple days so no JM for me. I'll be paying for it when I return!
