I've taken the last 4 days off from working out after completing the 30DS and I need to get my butt back into gear. Is anyone in??

[Laureedee]

I only have the boost one and plan on buying the 30 day shred soon. I won't be joining, obviously but I look forward to seeing what kind of results any of you get. I might end up buying the third one and trying it myself eventually. Good luck!

[bbg200]

i wouldnt mind joining in!.. ive just started power90 an need something else to join with it as i dont feel its enought (only lost a pound doing it this week) sooo count me in

[cb1]

I'm in. I'll start ... er....aahhh.... uahewjteioqwjtowkljglkasdgjsa.

sorry i couldn't figure out whether to type "today" or 'tomorrow'. I guess I just need to get off my butt so... TODAY! lol :-)

[clion]

I would love to! I have only done the 30DS and Boost Metabolism, but I should def. do the No More Trouble Zones too. I really want to lose 5 more pounds before I go back to school in a month, so hopefully this will help!

[MandaLynch]

Yay! Glad to see people are joining in. I did day 1 a few hours ago. After doing the 30ds for the past month, I actually found going back to level 1 was too easy. I might do level 2 tomorrow instead.

You could try using heavier weights. I'm going to use 10 lb weights for level 1 (instead of the 2 and 5 lb ones i used the first time around.)

I'm starting day 1 of the 30ds tomorrow! Very curious whether I will see a difference after 30 days!

[bbg200]

just a quick question.. whats quick trouble zones?

[MandaLynch]

Yeah I think you're right Quillie . . . bumping up the weights should do it!

BBG - I am pretty sure Quick Trouble Zones is included in the NMTZ DVD. I think it's NMTZ with no floor work. I'm buying the DVD tomorrow so I will let you know for sure.

[bbg200]

ohhh ok thank you

[Laureedee]

I actually went out and bought those other 2 dvds today, so I'll do it with you!

[ryzmom]

Manda I have a question re JMs DVDs:

I have the NMTZ,and this may be a silly question as I'm not real familiar with Jillian's routines, but is there any cardio in this 30 Day Slim Down?anywhere ?

just curious. I have a goal for dh's bday on 14-Sep.

[singforthedayx]

ryzmom - Yes. Jillian likes to combine cardio with strength training because it's more effective. I haven't done NMTZ or BFBM but I've been working my way through 30DS and it's intense, non-stop circuit training for 20 minutes. 3 minutes strength, 2 minutes cardio, 1 minute abs, three times. It's awesome. I'm sure she incorporates cardio into the other two workouts as well, but I'm not positive.

Manda - Sounds like fun... in a, omg I'm gonna die kinda way. I'm up for the challenge, definitely. But first I want to get through 30DS. I'm halfway there!

I also just bought her Yoga Meltdown which I'm scared of but also looking forward to trying out.

[MandaLynch]

Thanks for covering that question for me, Sing! I don't blame you for wanting to finish the 30ds before you'd do the slim down! That's why I did the 30ds first! FYI ... Jillian has a NEW 30 Day Shred coming out Sept 7. You use a kettlebell for it and I think there are only 2 levels! Check out the preview on Amazon it looks IN-FREAKING-SANE:

Ugh how can taking 4 consecutive days off after the 30ds result in being SORE? I went back to level 1 and my butt and shoulders are sore lol. I did advanced on almost all moves though so maybe that's why! Ouch. Oh well, day 2 is about to happen here soon.
