Wow! Great job! I agree with the fact that JMBR neglects the legs a bit but for me its a question of upping the weights, what weights did you use? I can highly recomend Jillians Killer buns and thighs if you want to shape up your legs even more, see more muscle definition etc. If you just want to lean out, do more cardio.…

Just keep at it. Ive been doing JM workouts since 2011 starting with 30 day shred, then No more trouble zones and in the beginning I did 4 straight and then the rest on my knees, now my pb is 27 straight push ups.

- Be patient - Set realistic goals, shortterm/longterm. - Eat clean - Stay focused - Reward yourself ( not with food!) - Find a form of excersise that you actually like, even if it mean having to try houndreds of different things, it will make your journey so much easier.

If you can consider buying a dvd Jillian Michaels 30 shred is a good start, you will get the form down on the basic moves like squat, lunge and all you need is a pair of dumbells and a mat. If not, stay focused on basic moves first, like the ones I mentioned above, and pushup, crunch ( engage the core!) first before…

You cant spot reduce. I would suggest cardio at least 90 minutes / week and then add some strength if there is time. Make sure you have a deficit, thats whats going to make you loose weight, so also keep track of your macros. Regarding 6 w 6 p I found it to be a nice dvd, it combines core and ab excersises with cardio so…

If you gained fat water pills wont help. Until you can get a new epileptical, eat less. Check your macros, eat clean.

Jillian has a yoga dvd that´s not that bad but you have to have patience! Progress when it comes to flexibilty does not happen over night!

Getting much of a wor out in what way? You can always add weight, do supersets instead of left the right and go straigth to cardio 3?

After I finished I did Killer buns, Nmtz and the cardio 3 workouts and now I just started my second run of JMBR. I suggest you look to what you´re goals are. I was really tird of JMBR at the end so for me it was very important to do something different.

How is everybody doing? Im still sick. I did the first week but I took a break to heal but dont let that stop the rest of you to stick with it!

How much everyone else are using is pretty irrelevant. If you feel you can continue doing a few reps after the ful set of 12 -15 reps, go heavier even if you, doing the same move with heavier weights end up only doing 7 or 8 reps because as time goes by youll gain strength. Another tactic is to start of doing the first set…

Did workout 1 today and this time I used dumbells in the squat in the first circuit and also on the cardiomove on the last circuit. The most challenge in this workout at the moment is the chair squat with lateral raise, with the 8s I can do maybe 7 or 8 reps and then I hit a wall. Should I do the second set with lighter or…

As Ive mentioned before, there is a seperate thread where we post Phase 1 workouts etc.

What weight of dumbells to use is so individual, it totally depends on how familiar you are with Jillians previous workouts. Ive done almost all of them so using 6 lbs dumbells doing the first round of JMBR was hard but not to much of a struggle. Its better to count at what point you start loosing reps. Lets say for…

Yesterday I did workout 2. It was not hard but my body still struggles to find the form, for example with the lunges with torso rotation, no balance, dont understand this since its a fairly easy move. Didnt get much sleep so will see if ill do cardio 3 or a jog, ill try to take a nap when I come home from my lecture, if I…

I plan to do the workouts just as scheduled, but I´ll be portioning the cardio out on the rest of the four workouts ( add 20 minutes from cardio 3 every other day since Ive already done cardio 1 and 2) and try to jog 1 - 3 times a week for about half an hour and do Jillian MIchaels Yoga Meltdown on my rest days. We´ll see…

Just did workout 1, it was not that bad. Only lost a few reps on the tricep kickbacks and the lateral raises, but besides that Im pretty satistfied the work I put in.

It was a general question! Nice to see the ambition, it will pay off, I can guarentee! Im feeling a lot better, I think Ill give Workout 1 a chance tomorrow!

How heavy are your dumbells? I´ll try using my 8s but I also have 6 lbs dumbells.

Here is a link to the thread in the JMBR group http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/942856-body-revoultionaries-starting-april-1st-phase-1

Join the group Jillian Michaels Body revolution, in the group there is a thread I started with the name Body revoloutionaries, post your workouts there. I will not be posting in this thread after we started, all will be posted in the group! With the dvd comes a schedule, I suggest you read through it, there you will find…

Did a sepearate thread for phase on, post your workouts there from now on!

I have to agree with them that suggested 30 ds, I think its very good for beginners to get the form down on some basic moves and she offers ways to modify most of the most if you have problems with your knees. If you dont like her yelling, turn off the sound.

You totally misunderstood my point but its ok, lets move on. Have a nice weekend!

There is a group, look for Jillian Michaels Body revolution and join!

Total 13 lbs. 5,5 in the first, the rest in the second phase, none in the third and last.

When I did 16/8 it took me about two weeks before the headache dissappeared. I did however experience some problems with sleeping and since I couldnt move my eating window I decided to change to 20 / 4 with two meals and its worked a lot better, both with nausea and headaches and sleep. Maybe post this in the Intermittent…

Sorry but it just sounds like an excuse to not do it, its a matter asking yourself whats important and prioritizing. Sleep less. Turn of the tv. Dont surf the internet. You can do it.

You dont have to do the kickstart one hour per day, its optional. Why did you buy it if you dont have the time for it? The program is 3 months, its a comittment, not a spare of the moment decision.

Jillian Michaels 30 Day shred was a great kickstart for me, from there I worked myself through Ripped in 30, No more trouble zones and Banish fat, boost metabolism, wich are all great but if you are new to working out 30 day shred is a good foundation.
