Awesome Jamie !
Are you planning on continuing H&C in 2018 ?[/quote]
Yes. I absolutely love it. I'm not dropping weight like I had planned but I am addicted to the weights. It has been great for stress and anxiety. Also the time it takes to do the workouts is so reasonable. I bought a bunch of equipment for it also and it is so worth it. I don't have a bench yet. We use our coffee table

Awesome !
I love it too !
I mean, to be clear, he annoys the heck out of me and as for her, I find myself rolling my eyes at her most of the time BUT that is not at all important to me. The exercises themselves are GREAT, the variety of workouts is AMAZING and the struggle therefore growth, is REAL.
I love lifting !!
There can only be one Chalean in this world. To me, she's da bomb for motivation and workout chit chat and all around vibe but the H&C program is the real deal.
I also invested (last year) in the proper equipment. Welllllll worthit !
I opted for the straight bench (much cheaper) and when they use their bench as an incline, I move to my stability ball, which is awesome for balance so it all works out !
Hoping Bianca might get the bug too in 2018 ....
I think she might
Anyone else want to try with us come the New Year ?2 -

I am so curious to see what you are all talking about!! Tell me what you specifically need equipment wise. You need a weight bench? My husband has one in the basement but I workout in the living room so it would put be easily accessible to me. He basically has all the equipment but I have to sort through it and pull out what I will need.
I want to start lifting weights. I feel like it's the natural and needed next step at this point. I think it's totally going to make me feel POWERFUL!! I loved the increase in muscle I got from PIYO and I know this will take it even farther.
@KrystinaMTL! Will you start program again with me when I start??!! I feel get behind!
I figure I will start Jan 1st since it's a Monday. I am excited!!1 -
You need a pull up bar (I put a hook inside a closed on the inside above the door jam and use a resistance band), I had to buy 8, 10 and 15 lb. dumbbells, a weight bench ( I don't have one but you will need something like it. I use my soon to be broken coffeee table right now) yoga mat. It says you need a 10lb ball but I wouldn't buy one. I use a weight and improvise. They don't use it that much) resistance band. I will start over whenever you do! Let me know your plan. Happy New Year!

Thank you Jamie! I looked online for the required equipment and it says weight bench or stability ball. Do you think a stability ball will do the job sufficiently? I bought one this morning while out shopping. I have a cheap resistance band so I will need a new one. Any recommendations?
I would have to order the band today so I won't have it probably until mid week (LOVE AMAZON PRIME!), can I still start the program if I don't have it?
I like the idea of being able to do an actual pull up so may end I will look into getting one. I have adjustable dumbbells so I have that much. Hope it's enough!

As long as you have dumbbells and a stability ball you can start. They don't do a ton of pull-ups in any workout. I forgot you can use a stability ball. Sometimes they step up on the bench but they do have someone that modifies with out it. I only use my resistance band for pull-ups and I use a smaller one for warming up for Hammer workouts. Wait to get resistance bands to see if you need one. Use a towel for the warmup. I would actually wait to get anything else to see if you like it.
You should post your plan for the week. We don't have to follow the calendar exactly either if we want to throw in some yoga plyo. or cardio Im up for whatever. Would be fun if we can all stick together and do similar schedules.2 -
Day 1 of Hammer and Chisel!
I am following the 60 day calendar so I did Chisel Balance. The stability ball did not come in handy so I did the modifier without the bench or used a chair. She doesn't tell you the amount of weight to use on the dumbells to start so I fussed around with my adjustable dumbells taking some weight off and ended up with 7 1/2 lbs each dumbell.
I can tell already my arms will be sore tomorrow. I felt a little out of my element since I had grown so accustomed to PIYO but I hope to find my groove soon.1 -

Yay! I will restart the 60 day also. I did not love this program until a couple weeks in. I think it was a matter of finding what equipment works for you and getting used to the personalities of Autumn and the big guy. I started using 5 and 8s and after a couple weeks bumped those to 10s and 15s. So excited!

THIS IS AWESOME!! Wow!
I think I will make 4 workout days my goal for the week. I did Hammer Plyometrics and it was tough! My bands haven't come in yet so I had to modify that section as well as the times with the bench but it was still hard.
Totally out of my comfort zone!!

My schedule might just be a little too ambitious. December was hard because I was working out but not doing the workouts I wanted. Now that I don't have as much company I get to do what I want. Maybe a little too excited! Already had to modify but got a workout done. Tomorrow Hammer Plyometrics
Monday-Chisel Balance
Tuesday-Hammer Plyometrics
Wednesday-Iso strength chisel
Thursday- off
Friday- P90x yoga
Saturday-chisel endurance
Sunday-Total body hammer+ 10 minute ab hammer

Ok guys, I'll take pics of my workout studio when I get home.
I have the goal to "pretty it up" this year. Right now I've got all I need and it's functional. It's just not "organized" shelf wise and pretty yet like it will be when my time and budget permits it.
In the meantime (I'm at work and it's slow) I'll try and find the amazon links I purchased the modifier band thingny.
My bench does NOT incline and I do not regret that choice at all.
Back in a bit

This is the type of pull-up bar I bought at my local sport store. I paid about 30$. It fits inside the doorway as shown. You only have to screw in 2 circular caps, one on each side of the doorway and then extend the (twistable) bar to fit properly inside.

And this is the EXACT pull-up ASSIST BAND I bought in 2016.
Works like a charm.

Totally jealous. Great to know you just got the flat bench and it works. I have a pull up bar that I can't use it so I am going to order the assist. This is an awesome set up!2 -

You have a beautiful home and a truly amazing setup!! A true "She-den" of fitness.
I have already started looking at equipment and am inspired to get myself a better set up. My husband found most of his equipment on Craigslist so I am going to check that out.
Thank you for the pictures @KrystinaMTL !!2 -
Awhhhh Thanks guys !!!
I truly think the right equipment and having an area that is functional and appropriate is a definite plus.
We must invest in ourselves. We are important.
Looking forward to seeing your pics of your present and future body changing areas !

@KrystinaMTL , Can you change the name of the forum or do we have to start a new one? I was going to post about our group on the team forum in case there are any others who want to join. Since we are doing other Beachbody workouts, I thought a name change might be in order. Any thoughts?0
