So I have not started using this yet but I wanted to set up the post and explain what the program is supposed to be like. I'm not sure how many days a week you use it, but it's an 8 week weight loss program which comes on a little card. You insert this card into the elliptical, and select what week/day you're on, and then just use the machine for 30 minutes. During this time, Jillian Michaels gives you health tips (yes, you hear her voice!) and the resistance on the machine keeps changing automatically. It goes from 1-3.5 mph which is a great level for my foot. :) I heard that there are 17 levels altogether, so if this really goes well, then it might be worth investing into her program and getting a few more. We'll see :)

Today was day 1 of week 1 (4 workouts this week). Unfortunately, I came nowhere near to the 30 minute workout but that's alright! Just like the bike, I'll have to work up to it so I don't mess up my foot even more! I did 5 minutes today plus my P90X Ab Ripper X workout plus probably doing some yoga tonight (depends on our schedule). Anyway, here's what I think so far.
- Jillian Michaels is scary! (In a good way, of course.) It makes you want to keep pushing yourself because she's encouraging you.
- She reminds you to take a sip of water to stay hydrated - that's cool. Sometimes it's difficult to remember to do that on your own if you're so into the workout or into whatever show you may be watching.
- She really does give some tips, it's pretty cool! But she doesn't talk too much, so it's a good balance.
- You have to pay attention to your RPM because she tells you what to hit since she obviously can't control your speed. It is difficult now if I'm watching TV but I'm assuming I'll get used to it.
I'll let you know more when I know better :)
