    Ok I just finshed day two and it was still a killer. Today I added weight to the workout and stayed with the advance level through out the dvd. I think this might have been a mistake cause I hurt even more now. I will do a extra/longer stretch like Gemini_1980 advised since I have several yoga tapes.

    Committ...Yeah i am going to add stretching myself.

    SexyCook that's awesome you burned 671 calories. Does anyone else have any idea how many they are burning? I was estimating about 400 or so, but that's not based on anything scientific. I'd love to know what other people think!

    I burned 450 calories the first day and around 380-400 every day since.

    Did Level 1 this morning. Those one legged chairs are HARD. Ouch! I'm jumping in there doing the advanced versions with the weights. Thanks for tip on the stretching!

    I didnt have one leg chairs on my Level 1...am I missing something!

    When they go into chair pose and then lift one leg. Ouch, that made the leg you're standing on burn!

    For some reason those plank into the squats were fairly easy for me. I guess because I've been doing planks and squats forever. It was also really hard keeping my balance on the front kick back kick without putting that leg down. I had to really focus on a spot on the wall for that one.

    Awesome job everybody!! So proud of you:love: I hurt my back this weekend, so holding off one more day before doing it again, but I did it for the first time last Sat. Loved it!! But definitely tough. Did yoga tonight, so hoping that that helps my back.

    Oh, and I think someone asked about cals burned? I did 336 on Sat. dlj

    For those who don't have a HRM, how are you entering it into your exercise diary? Circuit training I guess?

    Well I know most pals have a HRM but I would measurement it up with my other long workouts...if you think its more intense give yourself extra cals burned...Either way it goes...your eating is on point..You will still lose..Thats what i use to do when i didnt have one..Hope this helps..
