Still crushing it with Jillian 2021

Haha, I know what you mean Queuing!

Glad you had a lovely week.

We’ve had a lovely half term and it’s been great for the children to have some normality in their lives, with lots of trips out and play dates.

I’ve had to exercise late every day: did wo8 after a run again last night but I do feel great afterwards.

Cardio 2 to do this evening - yes, I definitely prefer it to cardio 1!

beetroot congratulations on your stomach muscles! My tummy has taken on a weird shape - I think there is some muscle lurking deep beneath the fat and its pushing my fat out in ways it never has before. Slightly disconcerting!

Well my child free week has been lovely. Managed some meals out, just DH and I, and have done some sorting and organising. Even work has felt less stressful! Going down to in laws tomorrow to collect them so the dream is nearly over!

Welcome styledesperation, sorry to hear of your prolapse issues. Being a woman is tough! I have no experience I'm afraid bit I think there's a women's health topic in here which is for women experiencing similar, so someone may be able to help there?

My second AZ vaccine was fine actually - I think my slightly woozy feeling last week was the wine!!

I'm now halfway through week 8 so nearly ready to step up to Phase 3. I have to do 7 workouts this week and have my rest day on Sunday rather than tomorrow which is a sentence I never thought I'd type! Jillian is not only revolutionising my body but also my mindset! I agree beetroot 3 times around is tough but I am much preferring Cardio 2 to the boring Cardio 1.

I forgot to say that I could feel my stomach muscles today after WO8 yesterday, even though I didn’t feel like I was using them much at the time!

I did cardio 2 today, I enjoyed the moves although I’d rather not repeat a circuit three times...

Hi StyleDesperation, sorry to hear about your prolapse issues. I haven’t had similar sorry, hopefully someone else can help. They might be ok if you avoid some of the high impact parts?

Morning ladies. I was a total Jillian addict pre pregnancy, and bought her post natal DVD, however I'm now 6 months PP and have prolapse issues. Wondering if anyone else has had similar and still successfully working out with Jillian? I'm desperate to exercise again but have been told running is out of the question, at least for now, which was my other exercise of choice pre baby!

Hi Everyone

I finished Ri30’at the weekend and now I’m alternating the 4 levels with 6W6P (so 6 work outs per week) for the next month.

I’d like to do Body Revolution after that but I don’t have a DVD player and I can’t find it online anywhere. It’s not on Amazon either. Does anyone know how I could access it?

Thanks!

Thanks Algon, fingers crossed I’m the same.

Today I did WO7 straight after getting in from a 30 minute run this evening Probably won’t do that again, it’s definitely stepped up!

Queuing - the vision you have is more spectacular than the reality but I'll take it

Hope you're feeling better whether it was the jab or the vino

Beetroot - I felt rough after my first AZ jab but absolutely fine after the second one, so hopefully you'll have nothing to worry about

Agree very envious about a child free week! Hope you enjoy!!

Hope you have a great time, roonetta!

Yay to having your second jab, Queuing! Did you have AZ or Pfizer? I suffered after my first AZ and am slightly worried about my second.

Glad you enjoyed WO7, I just did my last WO6 and i think I’ll miss it!

I am very envious of your children staying with their grandparents for the whole week! We live nowhere near family so never get decent child free time.

Have a great bank holiday weekend/ half term everyone!

We're in Dorset in July too! I'll keep an eye out for a super ripped woman who looks like she knows her way around a burpee! Have a great time roonetta looks like the weather should finally be good.

Had my second jab on Wednesday and celebrated by doing my first BR WO7. I really enjoyed it despite thinking it looked super scary! Did WO8 yesterday which I enjoyed less (but David's rockstar jumps have to be seen to be believed) and my last workout this week will be Cardio 2 later on today. Am feeling a little spaced out today and not sure if it's the jab after effects or the 2 glasses of wine last night, but fortifying myself with coffee first.

Happy Bank Holiday to all and for those with kids, enjoy half term (my two are going to stay with their grandparents for the whole week - whoop whoop!)

Epic day 48 done and just 2 more to go eek! Upper body dumbell workout.

Enjoy your week away roonetta - we have booked a week in Dorset in July, which I'm really looking forward to. The weather is looking a lot nicer for next week, at least no rain which is a bonus

Had a rest day on Monday and then day 46 of Epic yesterday with a 4 mile run/walk.

Plan to do day 47 and another run later today.

Queuing- EMOM is an evil HIIT workout where she gives you a set of exercises that you have to do when the minute buzzer starts. The aim is to finish the set of exercises quickly enough that you have a short 10-20 second rest before the next minute buzzer and then you start the set of exercises again. You do this for ten minutes on a row. An example of the one I did this weekend was 10 burpees, 20 alternating jumping lunges and then 10 jumping squats.

Hi Everyone,

Still plugging away with Ri30 L4. It’s definitely easier than L3!! Did it at 6.30 this morning, then did a spin class at 6pm which was horrific. My first one in nearly a year and thought I was going into cardiac arrest 15 mins in!! Anyway, made it to the and glad I went. Onwards and upwards, the next one will be better!

Anyway, feeling so tired now, I’m off to bed.

Well done to all. Still plugging away here, finished off WOs 5 and 6 this week so hitting WO7 tomorrow. Have watched about half of it and it looks like another step up. Beetroot I like WO6 but not a huge fan of 5. That damn crab move with raised leg is not my friend - have to move to the cheat move after about 5 lifts. And the cable strength move after the cable cardio is a killer!

Dare I ask what Every Minute on the Minute is?

My body is not built for yoga so I tend not to enjoy anything too yoga-esque but perhaps that's exactly why I need to embrace it.

I have picked up DS' head cold and have my second jab tomorrow. Hoping to power through and stick to my schedule but will take a day off if I need to

Day 45 of Epic here today - one of those awful "every minute on the minute" ones 
Well I just about survived but found it virtually impossible to do the number of exercises she suggests 

Also did 5 mile walk!

I may try yoga inferno @Wineloffa -
I am not very bendy but find yoga intriguing!!

Hi all, I forgot to post for the past few days.

My workout times vary. When the children are at school I can do them in the morning after they’ve been dropped off but during weekends or holidays I can only workout after they’ve gone to bed. They wake at 5-6am so no chance of getting a workout in before they wake!

Week 5 of BR complete! I’m enjoying workouts 5&6. I haven’t even tried cardio 2 yet though because I’ve been running on those days instead, runs have fallen on the right days this week. Week 9 of C25K this week!

Well done on the weight losses! I’ve stopped weighing so often but the last time I weighed I had dropped 3lb - and I’m eating more than I was when I couldn’t lose any so I think that’s helping. I definitely look better I think, I can see some definition forming on my abs and my trousers feel looser.

I can do JM anytime around food but with running I have to leave a couple of hours between eating and running.

@Queuing4Fergs I do most of my Jillian videos at 6.30am on weekdays and a bit later in the mornings on weekends. Agree that I feel more sluggish after eating. 5kg loss in a month is fab - well done!

Starting Ri30 L4 today. Had to take a rest day on Friday because my glutes were sore and I was feeling exhausted.

Yesterday I finished L3 and did Yoga Inferno L2. For anyone who hasn’t tried her Yoga Inferno video, I’d highly recommend it, it’s a really tough but fantastic workout.

Happy Sunday everyone! Congrats on your 100th @roonetta!

Well done on the 100 days roonetta

I'm the same as you queuing I usually exercise on the morning before I eat anything. I have to run on an empty stomach too, it just feels better. I lost 2 stone last year doing low carb and Fast800 - it really works although I've fallen off the wagon somewhat now, I've managed to keep most of it off!

Day 44 of BR here with a 1-hour full body dumbell workout. Wow that was hard! 2 x 20 minute complexes to start with which nearly killed me off - glad it's over now
