How did everyone do on the first day? I had to take a few breathers along the way but got through it.

I'd love to join your group! I did 3DS last summer inconjuction with some other workouts and was able to lose 16lbs in 3 months. I've fallen off the exericise wagon this year though and am ready to get back in the swing of things.

barbie - lots of walking! Good job. choco - how are you liking the Insanity program? my sister purchased all the dvd's but never started the program jam - i know what you mean about mindless snacking - i'm the same way with chocolate! jzbaby - way to go on the workout and water intake. I need to up my water intake as well.…

Last night I did JM's NMTZ and during lunch today it was beautiful out so I was able to do HIIT outside vs on the treadmill. So much more enjoyable outdoors and easier to do. I'm looking forward to more sunnier days so I can continue to run during my lunch break.

I didn't think I'd be a "yoga person" but now I can't imagine my workout routine without it. LOVE it!

Hi Everyone! I think my biggest struggle is the weekends. I have so many events/parties that I attend that it's really hard to keep track of calories - so I don't do it. I think what I need to do to combat that is making sure I workout on the weekends as well and maybe do additional cardio sessions during the week.…

I agree TGIF! I did No More Trouble Zones last nite instead of the quick 30 Day Shred workout because I ate really bad (read fastfood) for lunch yesterday. I needed to burn some extra calories. So glad I did. Got on the scale and I'm down 1.5lbs this week! Woohoo. I guess the tickers round-up cuz I'm at 2.5lbs lost but it…

New shoes, new purse, massage, new haircut/color, facial...

Choco - Awesome job on sticking with the Insanity program. Good for you! jzbaby - Did you get your scale? jam0525 - I've done that cooking tip before while making Shrimp Carbanara and adding the frozen peas to the pasta during the last few minutes. Did Hot Yoga this morning at 6am. I almost didn't though because my bed was…

Definitely read this!!

I love my Polar F6!

Welcome wenders9! I gained a TON of weight when I had DD but now that she's 4yo - I can no longer blame it on baby weight but lazy-weight. Haha. Good for you on getting motivated to lose that weight so soon. I decided to do HIIT on the treadmill during lunch. I was feeling really unmotivated today and decided if I didn't…

Hey Ladies - I've been slacking. I had a really busy weekend singing in the Easter Ensemble for Church (4 services - Sat & Sun) then I had a vocal recital last night. I've just been overall exhausted lately. I was supposed to get back on track today but I slept in and missed my 6am hot yoga class. I'm going to do a JM…

Ok, I took 2 weeks off due to a cold but I'm back as of Tues. So, I will do 30DS, L1 tonight when I get home.

I have all 3 videos - how does the program work? Do you just commit to one DVD/day?

Thanks for the welcome! Isn't fun to go shopping and finding that stuff is now BIG?! I'm finding that I'm wearing more Small/Meds in tops now. My biggest issue is this nasty belly fat. It looks especially lovely since I have a c-sect scar and the belly just flaps over it. Not cute! Hehe.

I'd love to join! I'm 4'11.5". :flowerforyou:

Hey there! Welcome - this is a great place to stay motivated and get support.

I just recently started this and hope that I'm doing it right. But now that I've read up on it more, I think I need to stay longer in my recovery zone. Anyways, this is what I've been doing on the treamill: 5min Warm-up on 3.0 45sec-1min Run on 7.4 1min-1m15s Walk on 3.5 (repeat Run/Walk Interval for 15min) 5min Cool Down…

I love JM's 30 Day Shred, No More Trouble Zones & Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism.

I always turn off all the beeps on my HRM so that it doesn't bother anybody.

LOVE hot yoga (bikram-style)! Why did they make you take your HRM off? I wear mine all the time and during the 90min class I burn 600+cals. I also take a shortened 60min class (still all 26 poses but some we do only once) and I burn anywhere from 300-400cals during that session.

Hot Yoga/Bikram Yoga is a series of 26 postures/asanas and 2 breathing exercises done in a room that is heated to an average of 105degrees. The classes are 90min long and each posture is done twice. My studio also offers a shortened 60min class where you still do all 26 postures but some we only do once. I go to 2 - 60min…

I have a Polar F6 and LOVE it! This thread is just what I need to become more motivated. I do hot yoga 2-3/week and usually burn about 400+cals during the 60min class and 600+ in the 90min class. I also alternate between Jillian Michael's DVDs: 30DS, BFBM and NMTZ and burn any where from 200-400+ doing those. I guess I'll…

Great article - thanks for sharing.

I also have a Polar F6 HRM and LOVE it!

LOVE hot yoga! It's such a great workout. I do both 60min and 90min hot hatha yoga classes at my studio and wear my HRM all the time. Depending on the day and how hard I push myself, the amount of calories I burn fluctuates. This AM during my 60min class, I burned 429cals. Saturday during my 90min class, I burned 670cals.
