Lovers of Jillian Michaels meet up here

Mmmm - I think if you saw my efforts you would be less impressed. More like Mr Greedy waving a 2 kg weight in the hair whilst shuffling :)

notyummy impressive time for an 8 year old (was it 5km?)

i'dkick wish you lived near me! Eldest DD also has tap and I take the dog for a 30 minute wander (used to run). No one wants to come :)

Hope you had a good weekend knotty I don't even know what some of the acronyms mean now. Looking forward to catching up in a few months.

Roonerspism, that is amazing! At 36 weeks with DD I could barely pull my old lady shopping trolley back from Waitrose (a 10 min walk) . Can't help with the trampoline question I'm afraid! Notyummy, congrats to your DD! And I always think Zak looks like a bit of wuss compared to the women on Bob's DVDs. Well done on the Tabata Jackster and the running Idkick. Did SIWW 2 Friday, nothing yesterday, just did L2 & 1 of KBFF. Need to jot down my plan for this week... DP and I are off to London later to schlep round the British Museum then seeing Stewart Lee tonight so could be a late night (I'm normally in bed at 9.30!) so may not feel like getting up at 5.15 to fit in a workout before the school run - will see how I go.

We all did Parkrun this morning (8 year old dd got a new PB- 30 mins 40 secs!) Then DH and I did Ripped L2 when we got back.

Not checked in for a while. Can't believe how impressively fit you all seem right now. Especially the runs...

I'm nearly 36 weeks. Still doing JM 30 day shred or a circuits class, plus the stationery bike.

Has anyone tried a rebounder/mini trampoline?!

Did Bobs Cardio Rev today. That was 'fun'. Does anyone else who has done it think that Zack looks like he is sulking at the end because the two ladies have done better than him

My first experience of a tabata circuits class yesterday (last-minute decision as a friend mentioned she was going) and ouch! Hurting today!

25 mins workouts plus 2-3 mins cool downs. You are meant to do it mon - fri, with a double on the Friday, plus a stretch session DVD at the weekend - however I must say I have never managed the double and have never done the stretch! I tend to mix and match now according to what I can face feel needs working on, on a given day.

You're right Jackster. faints at idea of doing BFBM twice. I'm restricted to half an hour on school days so that's all I can fit in. Plan has gone slightly awry as I've realised I won't be able to fit anything in on Saturday after all. Never mind! Focus T25 sounds interesting - how long is it each day?

Gah! Wrote a long and probably quite dull reply re Focus T25, then lost it!

Each round (or cycle as he actually calls them) = a set of 5-6 workouts. You are meant to follow each round/cycle for 5 weeks (following a calendar that comes with the box set) then move on to the next. I have the alpha and beta cycles box set - think there's is also a gamma cycles which I don't have.

Plan for the week sounds good knotty. I thought at first you were saying you usually do the whole of BFBM more than once at a time , but then realised it was more likely you mean you do just the first time through of each circuit without the repetition, then move on to the next circuit - yes?

Great stuff Idkick! Jackster what are T25 beta round workouts??
Did SIWW 1 on Monday, Ripped 2 yesterday. Was going to do 6W6P L1 today but the top of my back is really sore today - did a lot of walking yesterday pushing DD in a heavy pushchair loaded with stuff uphill and I think I overdid it! So rest day today. Planning BFBM just once through tomorrow, either SIWW 2 or 6W6P 1 Friday, NMTZ Sat and 2 levels of KBFF on Sunday.

Wow awesome stuff idkick!

Theonly, sorry, I don't know about the kettlebells stuff!

T25 beta round workouts done today and yesterday.

Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations on either of these kettlebells DVDs?

or

a different one?

Thanks!

I have put 1 week Shred and Bobs Kettlebella on my Xmas wish list!

Had a reasonable week last week although only short sessions as squeezed for time. So did a ripped (L3), a run, one of 'Bobs workouts', a 60 second promise workout (which sadly lasts 40 mins...not 60 secs), Bobs yoga and NMTZ.

Cross trainer session tonight and a Ripped tomorrow

Great stuff going on peeps! Weds afternoon I felt so rough, I really thought I was getting some horrible bug - everything hurt including my eyelids, and I felt sick. Had an early night and felt better in the morning but not great, so didn't manage anything Thurs or Fri. Weirdly felt absolutely fine Sat morning (have no idea what it was!), so did One Week Shred Strength on Sat and Shred L2 yesterday. Going to do SIWW 1 in a mo, still need to do a plan for the rest of the week. Have a good one everyone!

L3 KB&T done. That's all 3 levels done this week, plus a Shaun T cardio and the exercise bike session.

One-armed and one-legged burpees?! Can't even envisage how that would work!

20 mins exercise bike done today (literally had only 35 mins to change, exercise, shower, dry hair, dress, so that seemed like the most efficient use of the time!). Alternated intervals of high speed /low resistance with intervals of lower speed / high resistance, and really went for it!

I hate those one legged burpees. Don't feel to bad to start with..but by the end!!

Yes, that was me Idkick! I definitely find L2 the most "challenging" makes me flail around in the vain attempt to follow the combos. Jackster, in Killer Abs, you have to do 1 armed/1 legged burpees! Back to it yesterday after a long weekend away - did One Wk Shred Cardio yesterday, Killer Abs 3 today. Planning One Wk Shred Strength for tomorrow and either Shred 2 or SIWW 1 on Friday. The 5kg weights are handy for any bicep stuff, or anything requiring one weight, but I can't yet manage much else!
