@mscote12 Oh I would definitely give JMBR a go. I don't especially like her cardio workouts so here is how I would do a JMBR/21DF hybrid: Monday: JMBR Tuesday: JMBR Wednesday: 21DF Total Body Cardio Fix & Pilates Fix Thursday: JMBR Friday: JMBR Saturday: 21DF Cardio Fix & Dirty 30 Sunday: Yoga Fix I'd probably have to…

@mscote12 One of the reasons I went with Jillian Michaels after doing several rounds of 21DF is that I knew her approach to exercise/fitness is different from but not far removed from what Autumn does. Both use HIIT and work different muscle groups on any given day. Both throw in a cardio workout to keep the weight loss…

Beachbody has lost me as a customer. Just when you think they couldn't possibly screw up my mother's order any more than they have already . . . 1) She ordered 21DF and received 21DFX 2) Her 21DF had a defective disc so she requested a replacement 3) They shipped the replacement to me! I went ahead and watched the DVD to…

Day 2 I weighed myself and I was up a negligible 0.2 lb so I assumed it was just an anomaly. Probably my body holding onto water or something. Sure enough, today's weigh-in I had dropped 1.4 lbs so I'm on track. Here's a picture of what I ate plus a breakdown of what everything is.…

@summerleigh76 I always say that taking care of yourself doesn't begin and end with diet and exercise. It includes resting when your body needs to rest. Take care of your knee, from one person with delicate knees to another. @jcraig10 I'm probably going to have pizza on Thursday next week. It will be my treat meal for the…

Increased my weights today. And seriously, I don't understand why MFP censors things. I was literally quoting what Jillian Michaels herself says.
-
@summerleigh76 Glad I'm not the only one. @jpkrueger I know, right? I mean, I've told her over and over again that these workouts are not easy and even without using weights, she's using muscles that she hasn't been using. Today she does Dirty 30 while she waits for the replacement disc. Morning Workout JMBR P1/W3/Workout…

@jpkrueger I am a firm believer in "why put off tomorrow" so I would say start getting on track now and use the 3DQF to give you that last push if you aren't 100% on track. Here are my pics from day 1, with one meal missing because I totally forgot to take a pictures. Oops!…
-
Doing another round of 3DQF starting today. My initial plan was to start tomorrow but Rob is working an afternoon/night gig and it made sense to just start today, when he wouldn't be home for dinner anyway. I don't expect any surprises. I know this works and how and why. Sunday morning, when I do my weigh-in, I'm sure I'll…

This morning I surprised myself. I was able to do the side crunches without tapping the floor, I did 1 full body push-up and then finished off the first set by doing half push-ups (dropping to my knees for the second set of push-ups), and I was an inchworm bad-*kitten* because I did both sets without using my hands and I…

Mother Update My mother did the dreaded Cardio Fix yesterday. I had already told her the many ways to modify and she said she did about 75% of the workout. I’ve encouraged her to 1) step it out, 2) skip reps, and 3) modify the modifications as needed. So she’s modifying Burpees and stepping out the Mountain Climbers and…

@hleitner1544 I wish I had a suggestion for you because I think I know how you feel. I exercise before my husband gets up in the morning and he works out after I've gone to bed. It works for us. If you are unable to get up before he does, perhaps you can explain to him that you need a block of uninterrupted time. After…
-
As much as I love beachbody . . . Okay. So my mother ordered 21 Day Fix and she received 21 Day Fix Extreme. We called customer service and could not arrange an exchange. (You have to return and reorder and you get your money back 1-2 weeks after they receive the product.) She placed another order even as she packed up…

@Rubie782 Your results are amazing! I can absolutely see a difference! It would be great if you could share them in the results thread because that's where most people go to see if this really works (and it does) and this Daily Check-In thread is where the great pics will end up being buried over time.…
-
@hleitner1544 & @LRC1975 Y'all are making me feel OLD. I turned 53 in April! :expressionless: Workout 4 Today was my first day with this one and I had to modify some of the moves because I can't do anything with any impact but I knew I would and what I would do before I pushed play so I was okay. I used 5/7.5 lbs…
-
@venuila I am going to encourage my son to get a pair since he's doing PiYo with me. My set was a glove/sock combo. At first I didn't really think I would use the gloves but then I remembered how very cold my feet get in winter and how often I wish I could do yoga with socks on. So I may find myself using and loving the…

Have you tried doing a stir-fry? You can make your own fix-approved sauces and toss in some meat for protein if you like. Stir-fries are great because you can easily change the flavor simply by choosing difference spices. A little ginger and garlic. Red pepper flakes. Curry. Basil and garlic. The possibilities are truly…

@hleitner1544 My back is better today. I stayed in bed all day long and took pain medication. Today I woke up feeling better and decided to do my morning workout. I posted the following in another community and I'm copying it here: Jillian Michaels Body Revolution P1/W3/#3 I tried to struggle through this workout using 7.5…

Did I say I was surprised by how easy JMBR is? Did I say I thought JM would be tougher? I did, didn't I? Lesson learned. Jillian Michaels Body Revolution P1/W3/#3 I tried to struggle through this workout using 7.5 lbs but finally had to pause things and adjust the 10s to 5s because it simply wasn't happening for me. I had…
-
Okay. Not saying the same today because my back was worse and worse as the day wore on. I am taking a rest day today. In bed and probably won't be online much. Take care! I know I shall!
-
@hleitner1544 My husband is doing P90 (not X) and, like JMBR, it is divided into three stages/phases. When he finished A, he decided to repeat it, focusing some more on form, and increasing his weights. It took him over 2 months before he felt ready to move onto B. I can absolutely see myself repeating weeks or even entire…

@venuila The only way I could wear a bikini is if I got one of those high waisted retro ones because of the stretch marks I have from having had twins. But I would definitely do it when I reach my goal weight if I had one. No doubt about it. Morning Workout JMBR P1/W2/D6: Cardio I'm not a big fan of these cardio workouts…

Where were all of you back in May when I started it? LOL!

Another great morning with the heavier weights. As it turns out, my husband hasn't had to use weights for his workouts the past two days. So while I've been going harder, he's been doing cardio. And taking a rest day. Hmph! I'm watching the Workouts 3 & 4to see what I'll have to modify. Glad I survived weeks 1 & 2!
-
@summerdaze120 Wow! Impressive! Remember how my husband was announcing his need to increase his weights? I wasn't sure I could handle it but I went ahead and grabbed the heavier weights and I totally banged it out yesterday and today. Okay. So it wasn't easy but I still surprised myself. Yesterday I asked, "How was it…

@kmhaley81 I never eat back calories but I'm also not following the meal plan. If I were maintaining, then yes, I would eat back the calories. But, like you, I am trying to lose weight so that's my reason for not doing so.
-
@vicki8seekers Is it like yoga? Ummm . . . yes but mostly no. Chalene Johnson explains in one of the workouts that she knew she needed more flexibility but hated to hold a pose. So she takes moves from both Pilates and yoga to create a sort of fusion workout. However, anyone who loves yoga and/or Pilates will immediately…

@chesves Well now I have double incentive to get it done today. :)
