Lovers of Jillian Michaels meet up here

Which do you find hard stunt? Perhaps we can offer some ideas to work at them.

Ri30 L2D1 done yesterday. I'm getting a bit narked off with it all to be honest. Some of the exercises I can do really easily on the harder level and others I can't even do the modified version. It's very frustrating.

Nope, I have always had Peppa pig related names!

Will check it out. I do love that between my JM DVDs and kettlebells and bike, I have about fourteen workouts in the house. Why do I need more?! easily bored

Sorry - I'm formerly daddy but had to name change :)

idkick sounds like a fairly active holiday nonetheless. Don't even professional athletes have 2 weeks off a year?

The set for £19.99 - is that off Amazon? What is the martial arts DVD? (Always on the lookout for new stuff...)

jackster rather impressed you can fit a 7 year old's tshirt!

I'm keeping well - do JM only once or twice a week and still cycling or the odd swim plus yoga. And dog walks. Much lower pace. Weirdly, I get really out of breath climbing the 4 flights of stairs at work - what's that all about!

daddypig well done for keeping up the low impact stuff. How're you keeping?

i'dkick I like hip hop abs - borrowed it from a friend as my first intro to Shaun T. It's a lot less hardcore than his other stuff, but good fun.

You'll be proud of me: due to last-minute change of plan, found myself at PILs' without any gym gear today, but they do own an exercise bike - so I ended up doing a bike session dressed in my 7yo DS's t-shirt and joggers - which on me were a rather fetching fitted T and cropped leggings!

Managed low impact 30DS L1 and L2 the last few days so feel eligible to post.

Bit breathless bit still do-able.

Liking the chat - inspiring when I hopefully regain fitness at some point!

(Other than on here I mean! But hard to tell from online comments alone!)

Good one notyummy. I don't belong to a gym but do love people-watching!

Rest day today, but ShaunT's "lower focus" yesterday (ouch) and will try to do something both days of the w/e.

Thinking of signing up for an "insanity" class in the evenings from Sept! Gulp! I have no idea if I will be totally shown up or if I'm actually passably fit. This is one of the drawbacks of only exercising with DVDs - lack of comparison to others!

Bums, legs and tums was all quite achievable after a few weeks of Bob Harpers attentions!! I was fascinated by one of the women there- teeny tiny and very toned apart from massive probably high and non- moving breasts. Immobile face and massive lips. This is small town Lincolnshire- we don't have many specimens like that! I tried not to stare like a country bumpkin....

Decided descretion is the better form of valour and all that. Did Bobs yoga instead. Power walking to the gym and back (5 miles) and doing bums, legs and tums.

Oh no notyummy hope the back eases up soon.

T25 Upper Body focus done today.

I did NMTZ. My back is tweaking quite a lot today- think the spin could be a culprit as sitting and leaning forward is not good for it. Am trying metafit at the gym tomorrow as long as back holds up.

Well done on KBT Jackster. I went to a spinning class for the first time in a long time last night. Was quite hard work! Thought my legs might be sore today but it doesn't appear so. Not sure yet what I am doing today - maybe NMTZ.

Ahh spinning never mind, well done for the gardening, expect to hear reports of JM/BH done tomorrow though!

Ah Jackster I didn't!!! I set my alarm for 6 and fell asleep again, woke up at 6.45 and had to leave for work at 7.45 so no time! However I have spent all afternoon in the garden shifting more gravel. Definitely good exercise but I really want to get back to JM and BH.....maybe tomorrow

spinning did u manage your early morning JM?

stunt well done for getting back on it, and may I join the non-sleeping-DCs club?!

L1 KB&T done today for first time in ages. I can really feel the difference in the strength of my legs, range of motion etc, from when I first started.

Ri30 L1D4 done after another huge break due to the amazing non-sleeping toddler. Still I got him knocked out at 8:20 this evening so once the other two were in bed I had a bit of me time with JM.

Hi all,

I've been really busy in the garden, still humming gravel around! Really want to get it turfed before the end of summer!
Going to get up early tomorrow and do some JM.

Notyummy, hope your thumb is better

Ouch re the thumb injury notyummy but well done for carrying on regardless! Never been a gym member so no idea which class would be good.

Been away this week, and have done 4x Shaun T sessions - easier than JM to take on hols, as there is quite a good cardio/strength mix but without weights (eg lots of push-up/plank stuff, squats and lunges). Quite pleased with myself!

Also quite pleasing to watch DH try a T25 for the first time and really struggle (he is quite fit - cycling, mainly - and can easily outdo me in running - but I am the queen of the exercise DVD! ).

I did it! Phew. Glad that's over. On a couple of moves I could feel the reduced grip- passing weight between legs, those horrendous push ups and t stands- and also the over head pull down things when you are 'throwing' the weight like a med ball.

Just some callentics tomorrow and maybe a new class at the gym on Tuesday. Not sure whether to try meta fit, fat burner or BLT. Anyone tried metafit?
