Body Revolution Day 3 of 90

Whew, I almost didn't get to workout tonight. I had a busy day so I intended on working out after my kids went to sleep tonight. Well, my 8 month old daughter would not go to sleep! I think her teeth are bothering her. Anyway she was so exhausted and just crying and I couldn't put her down. I finally nursed her to sleep around 11:20 p.m. (so late!). Part of me just wanted to go to sleep right then, but I promised myself no excuses. If I get off track I will slowly start making more excuses and validate it in my mind. So even though it was so late I did the cardio dvd twice. I don't know or really care if it is good or bad to workout so late. I just know that I needed to get it done. I feel accomplished.

So I burned 609 calories in the 53 ish minutes it took to complete the cardio dvds twice. Body Revolution day 3 already has me feeling more fit. I swear my pants were falling off of me today. Not my jeans, my pajama pants that are usually a little snug. I had to keep pulling them up when I got up this morning. I feel trimmer. Is that possible already? Jillian Michaels really gets results. I'm so excited to see where I will be at the end of this revolution.

I can do almost all of the cardio without stopping but those running mans... nope. I have to modify those and just jump up and down like a fool when it gets too hard, then I get back into it. I just can't do a whole minute of them. I hope by the end of it I will be able to.

Alright so tomorrow is workout 1 again along with cardio. I will be glad when I'm done with the 7 day kickstart because even though I enjoy cardio, I feel like I will get bored with the cardio dvd if I had to do it every day like I am now.

Okay, I will write more tomorrow!

Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor Review

A few years back, I was using the Polar FT4 heart rate monitor and loved it! I loved it all the way up until the battery died. Then you have to send it into the manufacturer for them to replace the battery. That is such a hassle. So I tried to pry the back open by myself without the tool, which ended up basically just ruining the device. Then I started using the body media fit, which I also loved, but didn't love the monthly subscription fee. A few months ago I bought the Polar FT7 Heart Rate Monitor  (affiliate link). You can change the battery to this one by yourself. I have to say that this is by far my favorite way to track my calories and heart rate during a workout. The body media I felt did a great job tracking the calories I burned, but it didn't tell me my heart rate. I'm a very visual person, so I absolutely love seeing all the data that the Polar FT7 gives me. It's important to me to see what my heart rate is during a workout to make sure it is not too high. ...

Can you do Jillian Michaels Body Revolution during pregnancy?

I have seen many people ask if they can do Jillian Michaels Body Revolution while they are pregnant. The obvious response is to discuss all diet and exercise plans with your doctor! Always, always, always check with your doctor. But if you want my personal opinion, Body Revolution is just not meant for pregnancy. There is a lot of ab work during the workouts and a belly would make that difficult. A lot of the strength and cardio moves are do able, but the big question is, why would you want to do Body Revoltuion during pregnancy? Sure exercise is important to maintain health while you are pregnant, but your body is changing in an awesome way during pregnany. Just enjoy that time, and worry about getting your body "revolutionized" after your baby is here and you are cleared for exercise. That way you can focus all your energy on getting your body in shape. It just doesn't make sense to buy a body changing program when you can't give it your all. But please don't d...

Body Revolution Day 29 of 90

Woo hoo! Almost 1/3 of the way done with my Jillian Michaels Body Revolution program and I'm feeling great. Today I actually worked in the yard in a tank top and shorts which is something I normally wouldn't do. I still don't look good in that kind of attire but I FEEL good about myself. So I said to myself I am just not going to care if someone sees me like that. Its my yard and I'm working in it and I deserve to be comfortable while doing that. It was a big step for me. I'm proud. So today I did workout 6. Some of the moves were very hard for me. There were a lot of balance moves and balance is something I definitely need more work on. No worries. It looks like Jillian will give me plenty of practice during my Body Revolution. But, some of the moves felt so good. So in the strength workouts, there are 4 circuits in each dvd (at least so far). The last one was my favorite. Almost the whole circuit was on the floor working on abs. One of the moves was like sit ups b...
