Lovers of Jillian Michaels meet up here

Blimey Kick, you're really going for it today

I agree surrenders are hard!

Welcome back Errol, hope you had a lovely holiday.

Well done Kick

I've been cleaning the old house today but have just done BH cardio conditioning, the 30min workout and the 10min BH ripped core workout. These two go well together if you're a little short of time.

Hello, back from hols - well, back yesterday but lots of work emails to catch up with etc. Starting another round of Ri30, using various weights some bigger than last time - my 6kgs for the 2nd strength set! But way upthread (haven't quite caught up properly) someone said were they a wimp for struggling with 3kgs for NMTZ 'surrenders' - I can only just make it through the set with 1.5kgs!

got to get DD from bus-stop now..

I'd hope so Idkick .

Good tip Nolda, hope we all inspire you to exercise again.

Hi, I've been lurking as I'm trying to get back into exercising and was on this thread in a small way a year ago or so. Knotty, BH cardio kettle bell workout is on youtube. I have done it having been doing JM SIWW. It was tough but good. I haven't done the other BH kettle bell workout though.

Looks interesting but I need to accept I will only manage one half hour workout a day, I'd probably just do the weights bit and might as well get SIWW.

yeah its two a day 30 min cardio and 30 min weights, your meant to do weights am and cardio pm but I don't have time for that so done them back to back. And oh my god I've never struggled like that before, I complete the 30 day shred last year (put it all back on though) and it was a walk in the park in comparison!

one week is lots of resistance moves, one arm planking etc, requires a lot more coordination than the 30 day shred. Cardio is relentless 30 mins of running, butt kicks, rockstar jumps, jumping planks etc I was literally almost sick!

yeah its region 2 I got it on amazon but I bought the box set

Oke, I like Ri30 and killer buns.

Failure, tell us more about the 1 week shred?

Knotty, I know what you mean about not buying anymore dvds! I've been looking at BH's other workouts!

Probably wont do anything today. Dp is off so we've spent the day tidying and cutting grass.

Failure is that the one where you have to do it twice a day?

Hi all, back into it after half term off. Ate loads over half term so I'm back onto 5:2 for a bit too to stop the gradually increasing backside .

Started off again with Ripped L1, first time I've ever done that level. I really needed much heavier weights for the middle weights circuit (was really easy with 4kg) but otherwise it was a good workout.

Is the one week shred on region 2 yet failure? I like the sound of it.

Just looking at the Bob kettlebell DVDs and there are 2 - have seen the Sculpted Body one mentioned on here by StuntNun - has anyone got the other one (Cardio Shred)? I just wondered how they compare must not buy any more DVDs.

Just joining this thread so not read back but is anyone doing the 1 week shred, just started today and its a KILLER!

An hour of Pilates done and BH Sculpted Body. The BH DVD was difficult and I was only using a 4kg bell, the poor woman on the DVD was using a 9kg bell and she was absolutely dying. I think it's a good kettlebell workout but not for beginners as Bob doesn't cover technique at all and the woman he has demonstrating doesn't seem to have used a kettlebell before so you can't just copy her. I'm going to stick with the core workout from Kettlebells for Beginners if I have time after a Ri30 session and alternate days with BH or Pilates.

Okydoke, Ripped in 30 is a good option - similar format to the Shred but there are 4 levels. If you fancy a change, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism is 7 x 6 min circuits, no weights, more cardio based. Killer Buns & Thighs would also be good, one of my favourites .

What does everyone recommend to move onto after the 30DS, pay day is here so I want to be prepared and get my next DVD! My biggest problem area is my legs - I know you cant spot reduce but do you think something cardio based to reduce fat might be a good start?

Gordon Bennett, this thread moves fast! That's a good thing obviously . I like SIWW (although I've only done each level once). Want to get Bob's Kettlebell one but I'm just aware it's not that often I can do more than half an hour. I do love him though.
Did Ripped L4 this morning - felt a bit of a weakling though. Really struggled with the static squat presses (only managed 2kg), and had to do the chattanooga choo choo press ups on my knees. I like the last abs bit though. 4.5 mile round trip walk to Music Bugs this morning - DS on INSET day today so he gets to come with me, he's so happy . Going to do half of NMTZ tomorrow, half of BFBM Weds, not sure about Thurs, either ES&S or SIWW. Friday I must rest apparently as I'm doing my 20 mile Pink Ribbon Walk on Saturday - might do YM though, see how I feel. Have a good week y'all .

Let us know how that is Stunt. The JM one appeals to me as you don't need to buy a kettle bell.

Where's Errol? Not seen her for a few days, maybe she's on the shred thread.

I was put off by the reviews of SIWW so I got BH Kettlebell Sculpted Body instead. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow.
