Body Revolution Day 30 of 90

I don't feel good today. My tummy aches, and I really hope I'm not getting a stomach bug or something. That's what it feels like. Sigh. Oh well, I did my workout anyway. I'm not gonna lie though, I did not give it my all. I feel slightly guilty about that but I also feel like it's not the end of the world. I was dripping with sweat by the end. Absolutely drenched. So I know I still got a good workout and next time I will really step it up

Cardio 2 is no joke. It wasn't hard. Nope. Not hard. Just fast paced and fun. I burned 314 calories in Cardio 2. Each exercise is done for only 30 seconds which made everything feel a lot more doable and less boring. I liked it so much more than Cardio 1. So much more!

Some exercises I had seen before, but one called a cross jack I have never done! It was fun. Like a jumping jack but you cross your hands and feet in front of your body. Jillian makes us do burpees at the end. I'm not a big fan of burpees because I just can't get my form right. I will keep trying.

Back to workout 5 tomorrow and I'm excited!

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...
