to think Jillian Micheals is pure evil?

[ditavonteesed]

well she is

[flipchart]

Of course she is!

That's her point!

[BigFatGoalie]

I love and hate her in equal measure!
I did the 30 Day shred and lost my baby weight and even a few more kilos. This morning I did her 50 minute cardio workout off YouTube.
My butt now hurts...
She's brilliant and gets results, well done for keeping up until level2!

[BettySwollocksandaCrustyRack]

YANBU - but I find L3 slightly kinder....maybe move yourself up a level and see. I once did L2 and 3 back to back, she was a right bitch then :)

[Mrswellyboot]

Is it worth getting this DVD?

[crazykat]

Try doing her burn fat boost metabolism workout.

I find shred level 2 just about doable (apart from walking press ups but that's due to my dodgy back). I got cocky and tried BFBM and felt like I was dying and could hardly move the next day.

[ReindeerBollocks]

She is a goddess as she gets results when you stick to it.

Saying that I haven't done anything since Xmas, maybe that's why I'm not all up on the Jillian hate right now - ask me again when I start it back up!

[TillyTellTale]

Yes. I did level 1 for a week, and ended up with knees that hurt with every step for a fortnight.

I don't know whether it's my technique or the inherent evilness of the work-out, but when I start again, I won't be doing the bending bits!

[ditavonteesed]

walking press up, wtaf is that about, they look so simple but hurt so very much. It is only muscle hurt though and I have lost 1.5inches of my waist already so musnt grumble really.
Tilly sorry about you knees thats rubbish.
Crazy Kat I will look at that as I am already thinking what to do next, maybe ripped in 30. To be fair they do say exactly what they are going to do to you in the title dont they?

[TillyTellTale]

The Jillian Michaels DVD is leering at me from across the room, I swear.

[2tiredtocare]

I love her but verbally abuse her at will

[HeirToTheIronThrone]

Oh god, shouldn't have clicked here - only on day 2 of level 1 of the shred! Ok so far, apart from my utterly feeble press up abilities...

[TillyTellTale]

My husband joined in with me on it, before I went on strike. We chorused swearwords at her. The word 'evil' was practically punctuation!

[ditavonteesed]

heir that was me just over a week ago and now I can do proper press ups, i can not however do walking ones.

[pinkdelight]

Mine's still in cellophane in the spare room next to the unopened box of handweights. I'm scared!

[Aeroflotgirl]

She is evil but brill. My body looks so buff and I've been doing her various DVDs over the year. I was a size 16 Jan 2013 and now I'm a size 10/12 and can see my abs. I wanna look like Natalie from her DVD, her body is fantastic.

[ditavonteesed]

and what seems to hurt the most on this level is that horrible pouch just above the front of your lady garden, I didnt even realise that was a muscle. If sh can get rid of that I will marry her.

[Aeroflotgirl]

You hurt to high heaven at first but your body gets used to it as you go along.

[ditavonteesed]

aero I am a 16 (well I was 2 weeks ago) can already squeeze into a 14. I shall be in that 12 before the summer.

[Aeroflotgirl]

I hate mountain climbers, moguels, jumping runners and renegade rows ooooh the pain

[Aeroflotgirl]

Good on you dita you can do it. I do it religiously when kids at school/bed. Tge six pack DVD is good too, lots of core exercises. I did cut down what I eat but do have the odd treat in the day.

[TillyTellTale]

Oh, fine. I'll start doing the DVD again. I would love to lose a dress size!

[ditavonteesed]

I am a bit obsessed with core at the moment, my job involves quite a bit of lifting and the amount of colleagues who have back problems is immense. I read somewhere that your core loses 1% of strength from 40 sinc I turn 40 in a couple of months I thought I would outsmart it.

[Aeroflotgirl]

I lost 3 Tilly, I was a waist 34 and am a 30

[ditavonteesed]

tilly, do you wear trainers when you do it? I found my ankles hurt when I didnt.

[Aeroflotgirl]

I don't I find it harder, I tend to bear foot it
