Gaiam Jillian Michaels Body Revolution

Product Information

I'm nearing the end of this program and I'm all at once excited for it to be over and sad to be done with it. I can't imagine the other DVDs would contain language that escalates beyond this level (if you follow my drift) as there would be no point in damaging her brand. I spent so much time waiting for Jillian to say Sari’s name that I forgot to develop any sort of working theories about her.

After going through Body Shred, I didn’t find month 1 very challenging but I didn’t let myself get complacent about it. Ideally, you work out six days a week, so you have two days of front, two days of back, and two days of cardio each week, plus a rest day. The workout is broken down into 4 circuits; each of which are repeated once with one minute of cardio in between the circuit repetition. Better to make this program a little longer than get frustrated and discouraged because you can't keep up with the next set of workouts.They say the workout is doable from a timing perspective, and the videos are generally 30 minutes long. Today, we’re going to work shoulders, back, quads,” she says, sighing and rolling her eyes at our mutual friend Natalie. I’m sure Jillian, whose philosophy on working out skews old-school and body-negative, has done or said something offensive in the decade or so since I last befriended her, but if she did, I do not want to hear about it. Weeks (workout) 1 and 2 are different from weeks (workout) 3 and 4 with the exception of the cardio workout, which stays the same throughout month 1. Day Online Club Membership: Exclusive VIP Membership to Jillian’s online club where you’ll benefit from motivation, coaching, and support from Jillian herself.

My unboxing video if you want to see it all: The Body Revolution Diet Plan I've had a lot of questions on what exactly the diet plan for Body Revolution is.You'll also need some hand-weights - dumbbells are best because you'll need to do things like plank rows on them. So are you ready to push the envelope and challenge yourself to lose the weight and get in the best shape of your life? Keep in mind I did this program October through December, which included my birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, a road trip, Christmas, all of the holiday/office parties and lunches, etc. I'm just starting workouts 11 and 12 so I'm coming to the end but I don't see this as a programme you put back on the shelf after 90 days - I fully intend starting again (probably from workouts 5 and 6) with slightly heavier weights and I will keep going until I can master all the moves. Over the weekend I’ll perhaps do cardio again and rest on Sunday, so that I can then start Phase One as it should be on the Monday after Easter.

If this is something you can't build up to because of joint problems or other limitations, this set is likely not for you. If you are a beginner doing this program my one suggestion is: if you are still struggling with a set of workouts when it is time to step up to the next set simply stay where you are a bit longer. I upped the weights where possible and tried to “give more if there’s more” as Jillian likes to say. Please know that I tried to isolate each of them within the workout app then take a screenshot so I could provide you with a photo to accompany their names, but it was too hard, so I gave up — something my workout video friends would never do.So many times I have just said to myself, "if only I could lose this extra weight, I would feel so much better about myself.

They mention that they have more muscle now, have lost a few pounds, and have seen tremendous changes in their weight, fitness, and muscle gain. For this workout you will need: A set of handweights (beginners use lighter weights, more advanced exercisers can use heavier weights) A mat if you're working out on a hard floor. She shows alternatives that make moves easier starting out, and that would make them harder (if you, say, decide at the end of the DVD set to start over at the beginning you can up the difficulty and the challenge). I was legitimately concerned during weeks 1 and 2 that I wasn't losing much, and now I am just that much more grateful that I've been sticking with this.I'm doing Bodyshred (another Jillian program like Body Revolution but 60 days rather than 90 if you do it in line with her recommendations). They also appreciate the instruction/inspiration details, saying that the DVD set is undoubtedly hard work. The rules of our friendship are such that I cannot know anything about them that is not provided to me via the workout video. Even though I'd take measurements and see the numbers go down, and even though my clothes were fitting better, looking in the mirror each day I'd think, "I still look the same!
