Are you shredding, ripped? Do you want killer buns and thighs?! Join us here for everything Jillian and we can support each other through!

I'm ashamed to say I've only done it once before (I have 4 Bob DVDs and this is the most recent one I bought), and I can't really remember! I know it involves weights as well, and I found it pretty tough going although I "enjoyed" it if that's the right word Grin. If I manage to fit it in tomorrow or Monday I'll let you know!

Mmmm, curry........ Don't blame me Idkick, it's Notyummy who introduced Bob to us Jillian lovers Smile. He is good though. Hope you & Spinning like him.

I've ordered that cardio conditioning for a bargainous 5.99, going to blame you if I die Knotty! Grin I'm going to do BFBM later but only so I can have some curry!

I think I've seen Bob Harper on a sky channel so I'll record him and give it a try!

Not sure if I'll do anything today, lacking motivation!!

Jackster, I also credit Davina with getting me started a few years ago. I don't do her DVDs now though, I ebayed them all a while ago - they just feel like a waste of time, Jillian works me so much harder, often in a shorter time. I do like old Dav though - recently sobbed through her Sport Relief documentary Blush. Can I big up Bob Harper as another alternative to Jillian? His workouts are all about an hour, so longer than Jillian but really really good, like Jillian turned up to eleven Smile.
Have done a Ripped L1 and a Shred L1 over the last couple of days - added weights into the cardio intervals. Nothing today as I'm taking DD out for the day quite early. Probably Ripped L2 tomorrow and if DP doesn't work on Monday, I might do Bob's Cardio Conditioning.

That clip is the best!

spinning I find the Nell McAndrews one quite dull and very, very long! I like to do it every now and then to test my fitness levels, though.

Davina takes the credit for getting me from "totally unfit" to "fit enough to face Jillian"! I still use her workouts when I'm feeling a bit off form or have been ill, etc, and need a nice easy workout.

spinningirl10 · 02/05/2014 19:09

haha jackster Love the outfits in the TaeBo clip! It looks fun!

I spy Nell McAndrews on your shelf, I like her workouts but not done one for a while. Don't get on with Davina so much, too much chat :)

Jacksterbear · 02/05/2014 19:02

Idkick Tae Bo is a martial arts- stylee series of workouts from the 90s, complete with slightly cheesy instructor and hilarious Lycra outfits. It's good fun!

The beginning credits of NMTZ shows them doing the BFBM moves so they must have filmed both in one day. I need to get a life! Grin

I've tried them all but not all levels of ripped (still cant find it) I like BFBM and NMTZ and think they really complement each other, I do like killer buns too.

OP posts:
spinningirl10 · 02/05/2014 12:22

Yes I have Kick, I started with 30D shred which I did for 30days, saw fab results! Then moved on to Ri30 for 30days. And just finished KB&T again for 30days!!
During this time I've done NMTZ and BFBM a few times and the yoga one is new this week.

Oh I haven't tried 6w6p....I don't want to get into doing something for a whole 6 weeks though so the plan is to mix them all up a bit alongside gym, cycling and running now the weathers improvingGrin

Have you done them all, have you got a favourite?

Well done Daddy I had a go and fell over so can safely say I cant do it! Extreme S&S goes too fast with little to no explaination and I dont like the Capoeira in it either, hope you're keeping well Smile

OP posts:
spinningirl10 · 02/05/2014 07:31

Ooh big respect oohdaddy, that is one tough move!! Hope you're keeping well and pregnancy is being kind to youGrin

I've done NMTZ this morning.

oohdaddypig · 02/05/2014 06:59

spinning I have done yoga for ten years and can manage it for about 3 seconds... The trick is sufficient hip flexibility and using your core like billy-o. For years I pretended to try to do it and one day it happened!

idkick what don't you like about extreme shred? Is it a different format?

I have been feeling a bit sick so only managed level 3 or ripped yesterday after a few days off.

Hope everyone is well!

spinningirl10 · 01/05/2014 19:04

That ones not tempted me yet Kick.

Forgot to say that in L2 on Yoga Meltdown there is a move where you start in a really low squat like posiiton but with your hands on the floor and then you lift your weight off your feet and are just supported by your hands. The knees are outside of the elbows.
I don't think there is any chance of me ever being able to do that!
Can anyone here do it?
