I did YogaX tonight, girl it took EVERYTHING I had not to turn it off after the first 40 minutes. I stuck it out, watched the ones that were too hard to do and then did my best on the rest. It is painfully long.

[COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]Did my very first workout and loved it. Found out my weights were a little too light as I never fatigued once. I am going to have to get 12's and 20's today. I think I will end up with 7, 12 & 15 maybe 20 for squats. I am going to take my pictures tonight, take my measurements, and do the fitness test. I was too excited to do any of it last night. Can't wait to do the next workout, which I think is tomorrow.
Did anyone try the salad tong fat tester? I don't think I did mine right, any advise???[/COLOR]

Do you all follow the schedule that was included with the package? I ask because I did my first workout yesterday and I was surprised to find that today is a rest day. I felt like I could have worked out and saved my rest day for Friday when my afternoon/evening schedule is hectic, but I was hesitant to tweak the plan right away and decided to take the rest day.
I also don't want to take rest days on weekends.... those are the days when it is easiest to get a workout in! So, do any of you select your own two day/week rest schedule? |

Murray - Definitely do what works for you, just try to keep the circuit workouts 1,2,3 apart. I used to do 1 on Monday and 2 on Tuesday, but you are supposed to do a day in between, here is what I do:
Su-off M-1 T-burn intervals/abs W-2 H-off F-burn it off/recharge Sa-3 In the lean phase, I do switch 2 and 1 workouts because there is a lot of shoulder work in both. Most importantly, do what works for you so you stick with it!! Rhonda |

Cat,
Chalean says in one of the workouts that not all people get sore. Make sure you are failing by 12 though, also, I usually got more sore 36-48 hours after, so be careful what you wish for!!! ![]() |

Did my second Lean workout (Lean 1 in the order I'm doing it) this morning -- wow, can you say "WT#^$%, ANOTHER BICEPS EXERCISE????"
What a start -- I was drinking some water, and in the beginning when Chalene walks out, she's wearing a gold lame top. I nearly snorted water out of my nose! This may be the winner of the outfits!!! Anyway, great workout -- those planks with tricep rows are killer! Murray -- lots of people rejigger the schedule to meet their own needs. In the Burn circuit, Burn 2 is tougher than Burn 1, so many people save a rest day for after Burn 2 instead. I started off doing: Burn 1 Cardio Burn 2 rest Burn 3 cardio rest Later, I started doing three days of cardio, so I pretty much alternate weights and cardio for six days, and take one day off. And, I'm trying to get better about adding in abs work more often, since one day/week doesn't seem like enough (and my abs are the worst!). |

Thanks for the scheduling advice, ladies! I'll get through this week as prescribed by Chalene and then tweak it to fit my needs.
I am so ready for my clothes to be falling off of me. I hope that this, combined with super clean eating and temporary breakup with red wine does the trick. |

[COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]I really feel nothing today, but I am scared for tomorrow since everyone says Burn 2 is tougher. I still am going to give up the 5's. I am going to stick with 7,10,15's. I am doing all my pic's, test, and measurements tonight, then attack Burn 2.
poopiedo - too funny about the bracelet. Of course she doesn't really workout she is more training everyone so she can wear whatever she wants...what a stinker ![]() murray6789 - I am going to try and keep her schedule this week, but will have to fix it for my schedule.[/COLOR] |

Hi Cat I found that some days I wasn't sore at all especially with burn circuit 1 but found when I did the burn intervals I was very sore as it is fast paced and also I couldn't finish some of the reps. I find that when I am doing the exercise my legs will get very weak from doing the squats and the lunges. You probably will only need the 5 pound weights when doing the burn intervals as you do a lot of reps and need a light weight. |

Where is everybody today? Noone around to crack me up or what? I did burn it off/recharge today and for some reason, my hips are killing me? Especially where you leg connects to your torso - ouch? I don't know why. Tomorrow is my last lean workout, then I'm going to do turbo jam and some light cardio for a week and restart the program. My hormones came today so hopefully I'll be on track to burn some of this fat off and get some more muscle. I am going to take before pics this time too!

[COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]Just finished burn intervals and extreme abs...ouch! That just wasn't all that fun. I suppose if I wanted fun I would have stuck with Turbo Jam, but I don't want fun I want results
I think I will just do Turbo Jam on my rest days or on a day the I just need something extra and fluffy I was very impressed with the bods in burn intervals, can't wait to find mine Hope everyone had a great day![/COLOR] |

Today was Lean 3. My arms and shoulders were so tired after I was done. I know I will be sore tomorrow. Two more weeks and my first round of Chalean will be complete. Do you all think I need a week of cardio, like a recovery week before moving on to P90x? I wanted to finish Chalean on a Friday and start P90x the following Monday.

I started P90X today and I could not believe how strong I was, especially with the push ups. I also lost 3 pounds this week which was a total shocker. |

Just finished Burn 2! Those bowler lunges were hard... I think we've found a spot that my Firm workouts did not hit.
I cannot believe that Donna is sixty! She looks awesome. Off to take a slow jog in the gorgeous South African sunshine! Have a great day, everyone. |

Morning, ladies! I finished my first week of Lean -- Lean 2 yesterday, and boy, are my shoulders SORE!
I am hating all the moves where you have to lift a leg while you do an arm move -- I have horrible balance and I can't do them without falling over! I can take the ones where you do a lunge or squat -- two feet on the floor, thank you very much -- but the leg curl with the thigh toner, or the leg lift with the thigh toner -- I just tip over like a weeble. I can't figure out how to modify these, so at the moment I'll just do the arms and get more LB stuff in somewhere else. Poops, I'm with you on the glitter -- I totally love Chalene, but that wonder woman bracelet . . . and the rhinestone-studded star earrings? Oh yeah, that's definitely what I would have put on before I went to work out! Uh huh! ![]() Have a great day, everyone! |
