^Well done mate! Also its good to see you're still getting your w/o in despite being on the move.

Hi everyone, hope you are all enjoying the holiday.

@Modath, don't worry still kicking bu tts here with JM and da crew. I started week 3 (day 11) of the dvd this morning. Man it is hard ooo . My thighs were seriously shaking and i thought i wouldn't be able to walk after. There are some intense workouts on this, really a mighty step up from week 1 and 2. I'm surprising myself at the sheer dedication to it so far. Most importantly the changes are now getting noticable esp my arms and tum,

@HG how far now? you've been quiet hope everything is ok. Take it easy dear.

I greet you all

@babs2011
Are approaching your target weight yet?

^ @Gen, i'm not really aiming for a target weight anymore as i am only 3-4kgs away from the initial magic number (60 kg) i had set as my target . I've pretty much maintained my weight (give or take fluctuations btw 2-4 kgs) for almost a year and haven't weighed myself for almost a month now.  I'm comfortable how i look in my clothes etc and think my body is happy where its at now so I'm not going to get obssessed with a particular number. Approximately i'm there. My real focus now is improving my fitness level and muscle tone,  i want more definition on my tum, arms, legs and bu tt hence my 'navy seal' regime  .

@HG, glad to see you back on the JM wagon, i agree its def not an easy route but really worth it for the results after.

@ everyone, hope you're all having a good day so far.

If i may ask this, how am i supposed to do this everyday, my whole body aches, i wonder how babs and modath do that everyday. Or should i start with the modified version since i walk everyday too and i run thrice a week. Pls lemme know your views. Its nice to know 123 is not having exam fever, where is he by the way sef? Romeo thanks for the answers, i think my troubles don pass that level now. I really realise its good to be ignorant of some medical issues cos it will bother you less. I await a miracle now on my reproductive stuff.

^^ @ HG: doing the dvd 5 days a week is not easy i admit. The main factor that helps me keep going day after day is that it is not more than 30mins long. And i think JM got the length just right cos any longer than that, i would be dreading doing it each morning. After my w/o this morning i felt really sore again, even to walk and climb stairs. By this evening my muscles are feeling less sore and mentally i'm preparing myself for tmrws w/o. Work thru the pain but not to injury point. Also if you notice i try and do less strenuous exercise if im also working out later that day ( i.e power walking).  Definitely mix it with the modified version, especially if you are using the heavier weights. I believe JM and her crew are using equivalent to 3kg weights so bear this in mind if you are using 5kg, you will feel the burn more. Lastly the stretch/cooldown session is much more indepth and longer in the 'Ripped' dvd compared to 'Shred' so i really feel my muscles are not tensed from the w/o. So you might want to do extra stretches on your own to aid muscle recovery.

HG dear,
Keep the faith,miracle is on the way. As for JM, she no dey play and its designed to make you "FEEL LIKE YOU GOING TO DIE" Lol.
One of my friends came for a day of shred and has never tried it after that.

The girls are using 5lbs weight which translates to 2.25kg so doing it with 5kg is a lot. I tried 4kg but settled for 3kg so I don't kill myself. LOL
HG,go ahead and modify some till you get the hang of it. I modify the jumping jacks,plank jacks and hip thrusts cos of the impact to my lower back.

Barbie,
That's my new name for you Babs as you have the proportions to qualify. Does the Ripped in 30 have an "Anita" too. cos you got me all dreaming about it.

GEN B,
How are you doing?.

I had wanted to correct that too, 5lbs is less than 3kg. We are still cool together for now. I had to rest yesterday so that i wont be useless at work today. I will start with anita for now and take up nathalie as time goes on. Modath, how do you modify jumping jacks?

Aftrernoon all

Me log for today na
500 bicycle crunches
4 minutes plank
40 press ups
Seated oblique twists no weight
some other addendums.
Still out of base!

Good to know you are back Hour G. Well done

@Modath, liking the new name, one can wish haha! yes there is an "anita" in the 'Ripped' dvd too , think her name is shelly. JM changes the girls in each level.

@Agaba, when r you back from your travels?
@Gen, where you dey? no logs from you,
Hg, hope your alright babe?

Barbie,
Is INDOMIE noodles a world class brand? Used to think it's just a Nigerian brand.

HG,
Top of the morning to you. I modify Jumping jacks by either jogging in place or boxing. Btw, how does Shred compare to Tae-bo (your opinion).

Modath, i think it depends on the taebo type but in any way, its a concentrated cardio, while shred is strength training to the core. With taebo, i have the least of aches even after running 44 mins at a go but my heart is at exhaustion. Shred works on all muscle groups systematically. Taebo can be used on alternate days with shred to have a balanced work out. Its what i feel as you requested.

Babsy

Will be back month end God willing
How you dey?

Greetings  all 

water:

Exercise:40mins gentle walk

Food:
porridge oats with milk
2 slices wholemeal bread with cottage cheese filling
broccoli with onions
2 plums
banana
salad with couscous and fetta cheese



Had a bad couople of day where  I broke almost every rule of weight loss (losts of cake , rice, littel or no execise and had only  3- 5 hours of sleep and not enough water).

Back on track now,  Ahe .

Month end ke? What happened now? We will miss you o, hope all is well?

HG,Thanks. You know I don't like bul lshit so I am quite satisfied with your response, I was thinking of getting on the Tae-bo train but it sounds a bit like Jillian's Banish Fat Boost Metabolism(still tightly wrapped) so I will defer getting it for now. What I do is to alternate the shred with a day of cardio, take a rest after the 4th day then repeat. I am getting the Yoga meltdown at the earliest opportunity.

. I am getting the Yoga meltdown at the earliest opportunity.

^ snap! I've been reading reviews of this and its definitely on my 'to buy' list after i complete this Ripped in 30. *(update: have actually ordered it this evening, saw a good deal online, i'm becoming a JM freak haha ) For me Tae bo served its purpose when i was looking for serious calorie burn for weight loss - its just thru and thru cardio. There are some more recent release of tae bo which focus on strength more but nothing beats JM system esp for toning and core strength building.

Good evening
