Gaiam Jillian Michaels Body Revolution

Product Information

Jillian Michaels has changed my life over and over again. When I was just starting college, I bought some of her discs for the first time to help me lose the last 25 lbs. of high school weight gain. And I lost that 25 lbs. in under 5 months. For the next 8 years, I was a size 4/6, super-powered trail runner who did Jillian Micahels several days a week. She put me in the best shape of my life, inside and out. Circuit #2: low row in stork (standing on one leg with the other leg held out straight behind you) (15#), reverse plank, low row stork other leg, bicep curls with cable. Cardio: side hops with knee holds. Repeat strength moves. Phase 3 Summary (Weeks 9-12): Phase 3 is definitely the advanced month! It was seriously tough and the month I stopped doing every advanced “option” Jillian threw out there to make a move harder. Most of the moves were hard enough as she presented them, thank you very much! I didn’t do well diet-wise, so in the end I didn’t lose 10 pounds. However, I did maintain the 7 pound loss at least! Program Summary: Body Revolution is an impressive program. I have always been impressed with how much torture Jillian Michaels can cram into 30 minutes, but she took it to new levels in Body Revolution. I’m not generally a fan of short workouts, except as “add ons,” but the few days I was forced to do nothing but a Body Revolution workout, I didn’t feel so bad, because she beats the crap out of you in a short amount of time. The program was definitely progressive, as advertised, with the workouts getting more difficult every 2 weeks. Phase 3 was a difficult and advanced month; however, I have to say, Workout #10 was the most difficult workout in the whole series overall. I will admit that #11 and #12 had a few of the most advanced moves, but as a whole (workout-wise) #10 was the most difficult to get through.

When I started 30 Day shred, I weighed 94kgs (about 207lbs) and by the time I was done with the final phase of Body Revolution, I was weighing 72kgs (about 158lbs). The Fitness App is your personal nutritionist or diet coach with the Advanced Meal Planner system that cuts out the guesswork, helping you reach your weight loss goals or maintain a healthy lifestyle. Beyond just planning your own meals, the Advanced Meal Planner System features tools to help plan meals for the whole family! A lot of people who buy the DVD and try the moves fail because they do not schedule enough time to watch and develop the moves in advance. Before you start any of the three levels included in the DVD, watch them several times and practice the moves. This will save time and reduce the risk of injury. Eventually, you will be able to complete each level properly. 5. Stretching Helps And here is a link to her Fusion Flow workouts: https://2lazy4gym.com/2019/07/31/barlates-fusion-flow-box-set/

Circuit #3: plank to cresent to plank to cresent (alternate leg) and so on, tricep dips while in crab–to make harder lift one leg, side crunch on hip–to make harder straighten legs, side crunch on hip other side. Cardio is sumo/plie plyo hops. Repeat strength moves. EQUIPMENT: (1) Hand weights. (2) Optional: Cable and mat. Details: Most cable exercises can be done with hand weights, particularly if you get a set that's 10 or 12+ lbs. There is only one exercise in the first few weeks that *requires* a cable (rowers): You can definitely get started without a cable. I always recommend CAP neoprene hex weights; they are insanely durable, have great grips, and won't roll around. For cables, I recommend heavier than they're using (I also use a much shorter cable; I find the long ones are just harder to max out on). so, I just finished week 1 of the 90 Day Body Revolution system by Jillian Michaels. Included with the 15 workout DVDs is a suggested diet plan that includes the following every day: At Mayo Clinic, they had me walk 6 minutes without stopping and do stretches, some basic strength exercises, and use a recumbent stationary bike. After the program, they said I had to do this same set of things 3 days a week for 6 months before even *thinking* about adding any other kind of physical exertion (not just exercise, mind you—I wasn't supposed to carry boxes or reach for things on higher shelves!). You do that for two weeks then move on to workouts 3 & 4 for two weeks and so on until you get to the 11 & 12. The cardio workout is repeated throughout the whole month so there are 3 cardio workouts in total. I changed the cardio up with running, cycling, swimming and whatever other cardio I could think of to get me out of the house and also because some of the cardio stuff requires a little more room - it's hard to do effective suicide runs in a small room!

Some people may need more than 10 days to complete each phase, while some have even stretched it to 50 days. While the trainer does not recommend doing so, you need to understand your body and take things slow if you want. 9. Make It Comfortable Based on Jillian's best-selling book, this program is all about longevity, vitality, immunity, and of course a helathy body weight that leaves you feeling confident in your own skin. Jillian trains you through 5 workouts a week over the course of 12 weeks to achieve your strongest, most vital self. Dad Bod This is an 8 week program designed to “dad bod” proof your body. On a personal note, 30 minutes a day, no matter how great the workout, is insufficient for me. I toyed with different ways to do this program—possibly using an add on cardio workout every day to round my workout out to an hour. But in the end I did the majority of the program “doubles” fashion. I did an hour of personal cardio in the morning (one of the hundreds of other workout DVDs I own– Cathe, TurboFire, Insanity, Peak 10/PeakFit to name a few) then after I got home from work I did my Body Revolution workout. So I worked out for approx 1.5 hours a day. There were a few days where I only did the Body Revolution workout due to life getting in the way–but 98% of the program was done doubles-fashion. While all her workout programs are difficult and require discipline, many claim her Bodyshred may be the toughest program she has ever created. It is a 60-day program that consists of 30 minutes of workout. This is further broken down into the 3 minutes of strength -training exercises, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of ab exercises. To fare better, you should ideally stretch your pectorals, triceps, biceps, and calves. You need to do static stretching before beginning the 30-Day Shred Workout. This will bring down the risk of getting sore muscles and injuries. 6. Stop Starving Yourself

Slim 60

If you’re a woman over 50 and want a good, classic workout that builds week by week, making you stronger, more fit, and more coordinated as you go along, it’s hard to beat Jillian Michael’s Body Revolution set! You may also take your starting weight to compare with your weight after the completion of this 30-day diet. However, it is better to avoid weighing yourself every day as weight fluctuations depend on various factors and may not reflect a true picture of your progress. 2. Consistency This is a workout. If you're not sweating when you're done, I suspect you're doing it wrong. If you can raise your arms above your head easily, you are either a bigger person than me or you're doing it wrong. During one workout she makes a comment about are you a pansy... honestly, I really want to tell her yes, yes I am.

Your body will start mobilizing the fat. Your body’s metabolism will improve, and you will start to feel more energetic. You will love your new lifestyle and will look forward to Week 3. Week 3 I was sold on not only how fast this workout is, but also the fact that I get to burn an insane amount of calories in a short amount of time! Even with push-ups, you get to go push as fast as you in 30 seconds! Let me start by saying that everything that you have heard about Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred workout is absolutely true. Yes! You can lose up to 20 pounds in 30 days, with this workout! Workout #9: 33:30 minutes; 2 minute warm up, 29 minute training period and 2:30 minute cool down. This was a fast-paced workout. I really liked it. It is harder than Workout #7, but not a huge jump in level. Some of the combo moves in Circuit #4 I would have liked to have used heavier weights, but because you were also working the lower body simultaneously, there was no way for me use heavier weights and still have great form. Still got a great workout. This workout had a lot of creative and interesting moves that I will do my best to explain–but it is a little difficult to describe some of these moves. By the end of Week 1, you would have lost a lot of water weight. This, in turn, will make you appear slimmer, and you will be motivated and focused on your weight loss goal. Here’s your Week 2 Shred diet menu. Week 2

At the end of the first 4 weeks, you move to phase 2 of the program, and this is where intensity builds up, and things start getting really serious. There is no denying that this plan is tough to adhere to. The duration may not be long, but the moves are tough for beginners. You can try Intermittent fasting or the 8-hour diet if you find the shred diet too restrictive.
