  • Hello all and welcome new persons! :)

    Missed my update yesterday, but here it is. Finished my first week yesterday (day seven) with Dynamix. Gary was right it is still a bit of a work out, but felt amazing today after doing it (since I was feeling a bit rough yesterday morning before doing it).


    Started week two today, rotating back to Total Synergistics. Felt much better the doing this a second time and upped my weights a little bit.

    Good job everyone on their workouts!!

    Hey guys, yesterday I did yoga and it was interesting, hard and uncomfortable, but still fun. Today is the challenge and I've heard nothing but good things about it -can you hear my sarcasm? I've heard it's nothing but 30 mins of pushups and pullups, oh lordy.. what have I gotten myself into?!?

    I have to say, I really like the Challenge! No sarcasm. I use the resistance bands, though, because my bar isn't up yet...

    I'm pretty sure my arms will just drop off my body sometime during today cause wow! I only had the bar, but I am going to get the assist band here soon. I used a chair, on tiptoes, but tried to pull with my arms instead of push with my feet. My numbers were 3 and 5 and I barley made it. I think I need those push-up stands because my wrists are killing me and I hear that they help with that. But ultimately I made it! And I'm ready for a new day ;)

    Day five today: CVX- what is that? Just curious ;)

    She is so cute! I took a picture of my cat doing yoga today with me, too. (My kids were still asleep, ha.)

    I love CVX. It is cardio, but you use a light weight while you're doing it. He doesn't recommend any heavier than 12 (even for guys). I used a 5 the first two times; I may up that this week, depending on how I feel.

    Great job getting the challenge done!!!
  • Hi all - love the pic!
    Today I went a little nuts and decided to double up, so I did Isometrics, which was my scheduled workout, then I followed it with Warrior to get my heart going. I felt great - until about an hour ago when it kicked in and I had to go for an afternoon coffee. :) Feeling good again and am quite sure I will sleep well tonight.

    Have a great Friday - Jen

    looks like everyone is doing awsome I did the challenge last night and did 8-15 but made them really slow and tried to use proper form so Im a little tight today. hehe my daughter who is 3 has been doing the workouts on t25 with my wife putting her to shame while yelling come on mommy you can do it get your legs higher and all that too funny. im looking forward to cvx tonight its one of my favorites. getting close to finishing week 2 and really like the program cant wait for block 2 I hear its quite a bit more dificult.

    Thanks guys, she's my little shadow.

    Oh great, CVX sounds like a good fast workout. I've only got some 3lb weights, but I'm headed to the store tonight and was planning on grabbing some 5lb ones and an 8 lb one. Thank you about the challenge, I just ordered my pull up assist bands and push up stands today, my arms will thank me I'm sure.

    Dang Running! You're an animal! I don't think I could do two in one day. Maybe after I get more into the program? I'm good where I'm at but bravo to you!

    I got my fitbit flex today! I got the bright pink one (breast cancer awareness) to celebrate my mother's life. Tomorrow will be four years since she's left us. It's a nice gentle reminder that she's always here with me. Anyone have one?

    Today is CVX and I'm excited!

    I don't have on but I have hear they are pretty good. the only thing I heard is that they don't track calories during workouts quite as well as the ones with a chest strap but for everything else they are awesome. I did cvx last night late and it was a great workout tonight is the warrior my least favorite lol but I will get through it and will be looking forward to dynamix tomorrow.

    1/18 - Challenge done. 10 more pulls today and 21 more push-ups. (Still no bar, but I like the bands.) Totals 290/217. No knees, but my arms were vibrating, wow. (I also did a kickboxing class this morning - so I'm a limp noodle now.)

    Friday was CVX and it was fun, but rough. Saturday was the Warrior.... wow... It was brutal, but at least I've got another week till it's on my plate again haha. Thinking about doing dynamix today, not sure yet.

    I do like my flex, nifty little thing, but I will be investing in a good heart rate monitor for calorie burn here soon, any advice on what one's are good?

    CVX - 12.5 lbs. Tired today after 4 hours of sailing and 3 mile run and way too much food last night! Oh well, next week will be better.

    1/20 - Happy Monday! Warrior and CVX this morning. I think CVX will be a regular for me when the program is over. I really like it. Warrior hurt today, but was still good.

    I did decide to do dynamix yesterday and it felt great. I'm ready to start all over on this fine Monday and even though I'm on call for work all week, 30 mins is still an easy block of time to find in the busiest of days.

    Keep up the great work guys, week 2, day 1 starts today for me!
  • I think I forgot to check in Saturday - sorry! I did Agility Saturday, Sunday was rest day and this morning I did Accelerator.
    In the first week of the program, I lost 2 lbs, so I am quite happy with the results so far.
    Here's to week 2 being stronger and better!

    Great job everyone~

    Oh gosh it's Agility today, this one killed me last week so we will see how I fare tonight! Did synergistics last night, I do enjoy that one quite a bit.

    ^^ Good luck!

    1/21 - Dynamix and WEEK 3 completed! Looking forward to the transition week and the next block!!!
  • Hi all -
    Today was Warrior for me and I burned a few more calories than the last time, so maybe that means my jumps were higher and all those push ups were lower. :)
    Have a great day! -

    Elevator pushups... ::cringe::
    Great job though!
  • Seriously! Those elevator push ups are rough! But I do like feeling like a badass when they are done. :)
  • Late on my updates again...ugh! Anyways this week i did Agility X, X3 Yoga, Challenge, CVX and did warrior today.

    I really do enjoy the yoga. Just need to get MUCH better at it. I improved a little bit on the challenge, but mainly I think my form was much better. And you were right Dorothy, went much easier on the weight for CVX and was able to finish up much better. The warrior was rough today, but I think that's because I didn't get much sleep last night.

    Anyways I finish up week two tomorrow with dynamix. I really enjoyed the stretch last week. I felt great the day after. Hope that's the case again.

    And great job everyone. Really enjoying reading up on everyone updates. It is very helpful.

    1/22 - Week 4, day 1 - Isometrix. Wow. Very challenging and interesting! It was nice to do something new..

    Wow great job guys! Good to see everyone out there pushing play!

    Yesterday was agilityX and I really didn't want to do it. I'm on call for work this week and so that mean I work from 8am-9pm and then I work out. But thanks to my challenge group, I rolled out the blue tape and I did it. I can definitely notice a small change in endurance and form from this week compared to last and that's really exciting!

    Tonight is Yoga and I'm looking forward to it. It's hard, I have zero balance, but it feels good and I know that my balance will improve the more I do it. We all have to start somewhere right?

    Happy humpday! This week is flying!

    Keep up the great work guys!

    Still having a hard time wrapping my head around doing Yoga, and Dynamix and Isometrix, because they are intense, yet not intense, you know? But it is really interesting and I will keep working through it!
  • Hi everyone - I'm so glad to see a bunch of posts. It is motivating to know others are in the same boat.
    Today was Yoga for me. I just can't get into Yoga, even though I do know its benefits. A few times during the session, I started doing push ups and jumping jacks to get my HR up a bit. I guess I just like to be sweaty. :)

    See you all tomorrow!
