Re: Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30
How are you finding the workouts in general Hmmna? Are they challenging enough? Do they require you to use any equipments?
My work has a gym and I have been going but I'm find it harder each day to motivate myself enough to go down there and do the same old machine workout.
For the past week, I have been using my brother's P-90x cardio and Billy Banks Bootcamp workout dvds. I have actually been enjoying working out using them. But I don't want to repeat the same workout everyday.
I have heard really good things about JM's workout dvds.
Re: Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30
tea1234 i am getting tired of seeing Jillians face so i am becoming bored too. the workout is quite challenging and actually good while you are doing it. I have had a lot of knee issues with the workout but not everyone has. oh and also jillian is very annoying in this dvd she is much more tolerable in the shred.
week 1 and 2 are easier in ripped week 3 is quite brutal
i have found a channel on youtube fitnessblender. they have loads of very easy to follow exercise videos. i am in the shred.start them soon mix and match.
Re: Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30
That's what I was thinking. Youtube has enough videos to change up the routine. It even has Jillian's videos and many others. I am just thinking of making a playlist like week1 videos then week 2 vidos and using that as my workout plan. I would get bored too by looking at the same face everyday lol. By the way try Billy Bank's. I really like using his videos for workouts.
Re: Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30
this workout is no joke, i've made it up to level 4 day 2 and then quit.. will re start soon
Re: Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30
week 2 day 5:
hi guys my knee is really in trouble rather than only hurting when exercising its twinging all the time and it clicks a lot. any advice as how i should proceed?
i'm having the same problem! it's actually getting worse day by day and i've never had this problem only since i have started the JD exercise plan.
i'm on level 3 and i stopped after my doctor advised me to give my knee a rest. he said it might be due to improper stretching! he's referred me to the orthopedic so i'm waiting for my referral letter now.
i don't in any way blame JD's videos - as i think they're great. i think maybe i wasn't stretching properly.
Re: Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30
I blame the Jillian DVDs for my knees issues. She doesn't explain form properly and the warm up and cool down are rubbish. I do a lot more stretching after her DVD. If she spent a bit more time on form it would not cause such problems.
Re: Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30
Hmmna, give Billy Banks Tae Bo a try. Just search "cardio" on youtube and his workout shows up. I am liking this for now. I am trying to building up my fitness level and then I will start with Insanity.
There are days when I just get super bored of these dvd work outs and going to the gym. On those days I just dance lol.
Re: Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30
just saw this thread.. i am on day 5 of week 3.. and all the time i am doing this i am cursing her... its so difficult but so worth it... i have not whieghed myself after starting this exercise... i will just weight myself at the end, but i feels so toned and the best thing is that my arms have started looking toned and i have lost fat from upper arms.. but i dotn see much effect on my tummy... may be an inch...
Re: Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30
I need HELP! I am 70kgs, 5-3, hopelessly out of shape :( Should I ease myself into it this JM workout by first brisk walking and doing lighter exercise? I tried Turbo Fire but just can't make myself to do more than ten mins of any class, my lungs scream for air, throat gets parched etc and i HAVE to stop. I desperately need to shed the extra baggage and get back to shape. My goal is to reach 60kgs max by Aug 13.
