Jillian Michaels kicks my butt :(

You WILL make it. Stick with it, sweat through it, and you'll make it.

I have all her DVDs, and love her/hate her. When I started I couldn't do much more than 2 out of the 3 circuits either. But when I managed to complete the 2nd level of 6 weeks 6 pack, I felt like I could run for president. Not to mention I have never had abs like when they're courtesy of Ms JM.

Just stick with it.

I've done it and didn't have too much of a problem with the cardio (but when I used to work out by myself all I did was run). I have more trouble with the weight haha. Start at 3-5 lbs and move up as it gets easier. You will definitely get through it! I feel like you will really start seeing a difference after 3 weeks.

I have Jillian michaels DVDs.. I don't have that particular one that you have but I do have " 30 day shred" and " no more trouble zone" ... I really like them and going to try and find another one.. They worked for me :-)

I have never used her dvds but did want to try one, but was a little scared! lol. I use crunch dvd's.

She kicks my butt too, but she's supposed to kick your butt! So don't feel bad about it.

I don't have that one, but I have 30 Day Shred and Killer Buns & Thighs. They are tough, but it will get easier and you'll see results from them.

I think i am going to try out the Killer buns and thighs! I need something to target that area specifically. I am a little scared!!! lol

Maria, I definitely recommend Killer Buns and Thighs! It will give you a great workout and absolutely target all your leg, butt, and core muscles.

I was a little scared too and it is tough at first, but she does provide good beginner variations for those of us mere mortals who aren't in Superwoman shape.

Also, pay attention to those girls who work out with her. Nothing feels better than when you see the advanced one cheat :-)))

Oh she kicks my butt too! But it does get easier. I have the "30 Day Shred" DVD and I've done it off and on for a while. I feel like it really works everything.

Just ordered it! Watched a little clip from amazon video before ordering, looks like it will definitely get me in shape! Cant wait =)

Maria, then when you finish that, I'll challenge to you 6 week 6 pack. They have it on youtube, take a look :-)

I'm doing Ripped in 30 as well. I'm 6 days in wk 1 (took off a few days to deal w/a stomach virus) & I've already lost 2.2 lbs so far (along w/50 min of Tae Bo & a low carb diet). It does get better & I'm speaking from my own experience, I know can't last through every circuit all the time so I modify what I can't do & go at my own pace. I am seeing result's though. I don't like cardio or strengh training either but I know I need to get healthier plus this will help me reach that goal. Not to mention I want to rock my wedding dress w/as little humps, bumps & hills where I don't want them as possible, lol! Good luck to ya'! I also use MyFitnessPal to help me keep my sodium, calories & carbs under control. my username is DinaMW2013 if you want to add me as a friend.

Just bought mine, I bought the deluxe edition, ladies pray for me....

I have the 30 day shred... I am only 2 days in but she is kicking my butt!

If you aren't lying on the floor panting and exhausted after a JM video, you either did it wrong or watched from the couch. Her workouts are no joke and will pay off relatively quickly if you stick with it. 6W6P is my current favorite. My abs SCREAM the day after one of those workouts.

After the first few days, the initial burn won't be as intense and you'll start building resistance. I don't do Jillian's workouts, but I do Sean T's Insanity and Hip Hop Abs. Good luck girls!! Are any of you on Fitness Pal? I could use a motivator.
