I need to have someone to do this with, I tried it once and got to day 3 but then gave up. Please join me if you want to attempt this with me.

ErrolTheDragon · 31/03/2014 22:42

OK, lets pile on over to that one.

LakeFlyPie · 31/03/2014 22:31

No Jillian today.
I swam instead and felt stronger and faster which was great Smile
Out tomorrow evening so will try and Ri30 on weds and join April thread then.

StuntNun · 31/03/2014 22:24

Eek there was already one for April.

ErrolTheDragon · 31/03/2014 22:11

Are you on a device that lets you do links?

IdkickJilliansAss · 31/03/2014 22:10

Done!

ErrolTheDragon · 31/03/2014 21:50

With your name, I should think so! Grin

IdkickJilliansAss · 31/03/2014 20:44

Shall I do it?

ErrolTheDragon · 31/03/2014 20:34

Just realised someone needs to start an April thread tonight or tomorrow (I've done one a few months ago).

MissSmiley, I've had the same problem but with my ankle. There are a couple of Jillian Michaels vids on YouTube that don't have much jumping - Shred with Weights level 1 (just avoid the weird getting-up-and-down move), and Killer Abs level 1. There's also a yoga one but haven't tried that yet.

Shred and Ripped In 30, which I was doing before the ankle issue, have not only ordinary jumping but lots of throwing yourself about in plank position etc.

ErrolTheDragon · 31/03/2014 19:55

MissSmiley - I can't remember offhand but I'd suggest you just substitute different cardio moves, anything that doesn't hurt the injured leg for any that do. Shadow boxing is an obvious one, with weights if you need to up the intensity.

MissSmiley · 31/03/2014 19:49

Hi all, can anyone tell me which level on 30day shred gas the least jumping? I have managed to tear my calf muscle today whilst running but I need to carry on with JM. I am soooo disappointed. I was in the middle of my first week 9 couch to 5k run. :-(

IdkickJilliansAss · 31/03/2014 19:23

I love sourdough bread but can never find it round here, doesn't it take a long time to make?

StuntNun · 31/03/2014 18:54

Errol I'm completely rubbish at sit ups, can't get up at all unless I pull on my legs. I could possible manage with my feed under the sofa so I might try that.

IdKick I follow the MN low carb bootcamp which doesn't allow any bread at all. I was reading Whole Grains Empty Promises yesterday and the author reckons wholemeal bread isn't any better for you than white bread. I think he approved of sourdough bread.

I'm really sore today which is bad, but worse is that I'm not entirely sure how I've done it.

ErrolTheDragon · 31/03/2014 17:56

StuntNun - can you manage a situp with your arms fully extended in front of you? If you can, do those and gradually move the arms back to the standard position.

Well, after a weekend of ILs, I've just done level3 of Shred, not sure what day. Turns out that having a stressful inlaw visit does make me push even harder! Perhaps they should come around more often!! Grin Managed to do it all like Natalie - bet I'mk aching all over tomorrow but at leaset I feel destressed for now!

Think I will order Ri30 - sounds great.

Excellent yadah abd I loooove the expression 'blow me' Smile Bloating is so frustrating, I really do look preggers.

yadahyadah · 31/03/2014 17:17

D4 L2 30DS done and blow me if I did not feel a tad stronger during the hardest bits of the workout. Still end it with muy attractive red swollen sweaty football for a head but, hey, for Jillian, ANYTHING. I read whole grain carbs and loads of live yoghurt is the way forward for "most" bloaters, if you will pardon the expression. I switched to rye or sourdough bread and it seems to have eased my condition. Oh and cod liver oil.

IdkickJilliansAss · 31/03/2014 16:51

It's usually quite good Stunt but I had a big night out on Saturday and the alcohol makes it really bad. Recently I've been taking pre & pro biotics which really seem to help. Do you still have wholegrain carbs?

StuntNun · 31/03/2014 16:33

What's your diet like IdKick? I cut carbs last year and my IBS cleared up completely. I don't even get bloating before my period any more.

IdkickJilliansAss · 31/03/2014 16:00

NMTZ and KB&T L1 done, I have IBS and am so bloated from the weekend I look about 5 months gone. I have Pilates tonight and I'm scared to go in case I start deflating there Grin sorry if that's TMI!

StuntNun · 31/03/2014 13:12

Hmm might do Ri30 next and then try and tackle 6W6P. My sit ups and press ups need serious work though, they are definite weak points at the moment. I can't do the full sit ups in 30DS L3 so I'm wondering if there is another move I could substitute that would work the same muscles? Maybe just a crunch?

StuntNun · 31/03/2014 12:26

I need a rest day after kettlebells two days ago so I'm going to do a gentle workout on the cross trainer and watch Ri30 L1 to see if I fancy that one next.
