Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

=( oki doki

My knees have been hurting a lot ...even going up and down the stairs is a major pain.... what can I do.... any ideas... I don't wanna give this program up ...

Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

yeah thats what happend to me in the begining. By day 3 i was used to the pain..

Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

Hey appa jaani and everyone else..i really want to do some workout too but my heel pain doesnt let me do anything that needs walking or standing :( i have plantar fasciitis which requires me to rest as much as i can. I really want to join in but are there any suggestions for exceptions?

Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

Hi prototype - my mom has plantar fasciitis too. I would suggest upper body and ab exercises on the floor (lyig down)

punches, rowing, bicycle, bicycle crunches, all are very good exercises to get your heart rate up.

Also get 3-5 pound weights and start doing upper body exercises.

Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

I was tempted by the 22 minutes thingy..still you are right..i need to start with something.

Oh God!i never knew plantar fasciitis was so common.

Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

Hey guys i have a question...well i been doing the level 1 for past 2 weeks (total of 6 days) and well every time i finish the workout i m sooooooo sleepy that i have to just lay down for 15 mins or so. i try to regulate my breathing, drink water (last night i had orange juice...which worked faster) but still its takes abt 15 mins...is this normal?

this not my first time working out, i use to do an hours at the gym and would be fine ... but this one is going to my head.

again is this fine...the sleepiness?

Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

^ the sleepy thing I don't know rabia. Talk to your doctor.

In the middle - you heart rate should come down because she does easier exercises and the cool down.

Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

ladies have done full 10 days level 1 i guess will stick 2 level one for another 5 days then move on 2 level 2 .
havnt lost a pound on shred but body toned up even posture has improved , shoulders back.
who else has noticed any visible improvement?

Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

I am so tired of my routine... gotta give this one a try.

Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

Oh my god … my knees. :hayaa:

Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

can't stand her....she's so annoying and fat.

Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

^ she is not Fat...and her work out are really good.

Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

I need to lose about 8 pounds. I should do this. I feel so motivated when I watch her on The Biggest Loser (while sitting on the couch eating chips).

Hareem, are you serious? There is nothing fat about her. The woman is so fit.

Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

So what's the progress? Would really like to know how much it's helped those who started off over a month??? How much weight loss/gain-muscle weight ofcourse?

did shred may be 15- 17 times during past month. i was busy and regret not doing it religiously .

i have lost 2-3 lbs (i guess it has more to do with my diet and not the shred, i have been strict on my calories intake
BUT im happy with the muscle defination n overall shape .
so ladies keep it up . hope everyone is noticing visible improvements. keep posted

Re: Jillian Michaels Challenge

Coccoo,
good to know this work has helped you. Keep it up. :)

Question for the experts: Are you supposed to do this every day for 30 days? Don't muscles need rest in between strength training?

i agree shes annoying, but not fat.... i dont like her figure tho... it looks soo manly =|

i gave up... opted for the less annoying option and working out harder in my garage now. I didnt feel like i was actually doing anything with jillian
