Jillian Michaels' work out videos

[twelvth_goddess]

Hi everyone!

Anyone here is into Jillian Michael's workout videos? I did the 30 day shred and Ripped in 30 days in the last 2 months. I lost a total of 2.5 cm in my thighs, 1.5 cm in my waist and 1.5 cm in my hips. I'd say they're more effective compared to when I was working out at FF 

Right now I'm doing Killer buns and thighs, killer naman talaga. I think this is the most difficult among the JM workouts I've tried. It's ok though kase thighs talaga ang problem area ko.

Feel free to share your comments and experiences with these work out videos

Sis hindi naman ba boring mag-workout to exercise videos? Naghahanap din kasi ako ng pwede kong maging long-term exercise, something convenient that I won't get bored with. I was thinking of buying an exercise bike kaya lang sabi ng husband ko baka hindi ko naman ma-maintain, sayang lang money.

[twelvth_goddess]

In my case, I dont find it boring, more convenient pa for me. I work kase eh so nung naggi-gym pa ko, ang daming time talaga kelangan ko just so I can squeeze gym time before I go to work. That also meant bawas ang time ko for my daughter.

Anyway, JM's videos are very challenging naman and I think they work for me kase under an hour lang lahat. Plus I find them very effective. Ako naman sis, nabo-bore sa bike and treadmill. Even with running, nabo-bore din ako, I literally count the minutes hehe

Thanks to you sis, I checked out Jillian Michaels' 30-Day Shred sa Amazon. Wow 3,337 customer reviews. Sis kung gagawin ko syang long-term thing, bale I'll just continuously repeat the 30-day plan? Anong weight ng dumbbells mo?

Yeah I prefer din doing exercise at home instead of going to a gym pa.

Edit to add: Ay kinukulit kita, eh may sariling thread pala yung 30-Day Shred, hehe. I'll go check it out

[twelvth_goddess]

^Keri lang sis hehe.

I did the 30 day shred for a month, Ripped in 30 for a month, and now I'm currently doing Killer buns and thighs. Everyday ko sya ginagawa since mabilis lang naman, pag nakakamiss ako, I do the routine twice.

I have 2 sets of dumbells pala. One set is 8lbs each and the other set if 5lbs each. Nung 30DS, I was using the 8lbs set and halos mabali arms ko hahaha.

[loball]

Wow 8 lbs? Haha 3 lbs lang siguro sisimulan ko. Super couch potato kasi ako, kahit warm up, cool down, stretching, hindi ako marunong. As in wala talaga.

[itcha123]

effective talaga ang work out ni Jillian Michaels, proven ko yan sa akin. From 64kgs. to 57kgs, mga sis matagalan exercise ang ginawa ko dito ha.  kita ko nga mga previous pictures yuckkkk. buti na lang nag exercise ako & medyo diet sa kain, at least bata akong tingnan kaysa sa real age ko...

[twelvth_goddess]

I'm currently alternating killer buns and thighs with yoga meltdown everyday. Nakakaloka sa hirap ang kbt 

[kachich]

@twelvth_goddess ang lakas mo naman! 8lbs! Hirap na hirap pa ako sa anterior exercises sa 5lbs! Sana maglose ako ng weight and size. although napansin ko lumakas ako.

[lovely_chic]

I've tried all her workout videos and yeah it's all effective plus it's more convenient for me. I always switch up my exercise routine. I do Killer Buns & Thighs, Yoga Meltdown, Shred it with Weights and I do Extreme Shed and Shred for 3-5 alternate days a week. And if you're goal is tone the body 3-5lbs of dumbbells is already enough unless gusto niyo talaga magka muscle opt for higher pero be careful din kasi mag depende din kasi yan sa weight natin.

[loball]

Nakabili na ko exercise mat and 3-lb. dumbbells. Shoes na lang kulang ko, then start na ko with Jillian. 30 Day Shred malamang gagamitin ko

[twelvth_goddess]

I used the 8lbs set sa 30DS but it was hard especially yung jumping jacks na may weights kaya I decided to get a lighter set. Since my problem area is more on my lower body, minsan I use just one dumbell. Mapayat naman kase upper body ko since toning lang gusto ko.

I love how my thighs are looking now pag naka-shorts. Konti pa and super happy na ko talaga. Naisip ko tuloy sayang lang yung money ko na I spent for 1 year at the gym. Sana matagal ko na ginawa to mas effective pa for me.

[Miss Charcoal]

I have 30 day shred level 1, no more trouble zones, and yoga meltdown levels 1 & 2 but I don't know how to use it. Haha.

Pano ba? Tatapusin yung video tapos gagawin everyday o hinati niyo yung mga exercise sa video tapos gagawin ng 1 week?

[twelvth_goddess]

Here's how I did it sis:

30 day shred - 10 consecutive days per level before moving up to the next
Ripped in 30 - 7 consecutive days per level before moving to the next

Current routine:
Killer buns and thighs level 1 alternate with Yoga meltdown level 1 for 10 consecutive days

Best if you measure your arms, waist, hips, and thighs before you start the work out tapos monitor from there. Hope this helps

matagal ko na to naririnig pero di ko pa talaga na try. ang hiphop abs kasi ginagawa ko pero di ko masyado nasusunod and medyo na bore ako. na inspire ako sa posts niyo. gusto ko din i try

[kachich]

@twelvth_goddess i didnt measure! I want to do it the way you did it (30DS), but I want kasi different workouts daily.

I want to do other workouts din kaya lang hirap kasi ako sa room with jumps kasi nasa taas room ko and naririnig ang kalabog sa baba.

@pretinnes do it na! you'll be stronger, leaner!

[Miss Charcoal]

@twelvth goddess: ah ganun pala sis. toning lang ba target mo? toning and weight gain lang kasi target ko. may sinusunod ka bang diet?
thanks!

[twelvth_goddess]

^I do calorie counting sis, max of 1000 calories per day. Toning and a little weight loss lang goal ko sis since I have to lose over all in order to lose wieght on my thighs. Pero I dont want diets that would restrict me from eating what I want like rice and breads. So I do calorie counting kase I can still eat what I want but in moderation lang. There's an app called My Fitness Pal in my ipod that i use to track my calories everyday, it's very helpful.

^^I think doing different exercises everyday is ok lang naman as long as you know which muscles you're targeting. Sabe din kase ng gym trainer ko before sa Fitness First, pag kung ano-ano na lang ginagawa madalas you dont end up toning the muscles, nasstrain lang sila. Kaya they advise on a program (which of course I didnt buy back then kase mahal haha)

[lovely_chic]

I suggest better switch up your exercise routine kasi with the repetition of the same type of workout your body will get used to the same type of workout and will consume less energy. If you change up the exercise routine you will burn more calories and can avoid boredom.

[twelvth_goddess]

^Sis kaya Jillian's exercise routine's are done max of 7-10 days lang is because that's the approximate time that the muscles get adjusted to the routine. That's why her programs are also done in levels.
