    Push 2 and Fire 30 tonight. I'm going to add pull up to my routine so I can prep myself for P90x. My healthy club closed the pool area for this week so no hot tub for me after the work out :(.

    Burn Intervals - Done!

    If this is my least favorite workout, then would I hate Insanity???
    I've got 2 more weeks in the Lean Phase and want to move on to a big calorie burner for my next challenge. I want to lose more pounds and Insanity seems like the best choice but if I hate it - will I keep it up???

    Not sure what to do, I love Turbo Fire but am getting bored with it. Anyone have any other DVD suggestions?

    Yaay finally completed my first month. Burn Phase is done. I had completed half in the spring but didn't get it done so I feel pretty happy about finishing it this time around. A little bit intimidated about the next phase, hopefully I can handle it. Talk soon, good luck!

    I am thinking Insanity may be my next challenge too. I haven't tried it yet, but I always like to try something new. I think it is pretty much cardio drills like the ones in burn intervals and burn it off.
    I would like to have Turbo Jam-Get on the Ball DVD's Or Rev Abs.

    Lean 3 and HIIT 30 - done!

    Week 2 of Lean Phase is complete. Man, I hate push ups and there are so many in Lean 3 - UGH! My arms are jell-o. I've had Turbo Fire for 7 months and this is the first time I tried HIIT 30 - was just super intimidated and scared of it. Turns out, it wasn't as scary I thought but it did kick my butt. I prefer Fire 30 (same burn) but I guess it's good to change things up and keep the body guessing.

    I wonder if I would be able to at least do the 63 day challenge of Insanity or if I would just dread the boot camp style too much. Decisions, decisions...

    Fire 60 - done.

    Sorta mailed it in today. Just couldn't get my head in the game and therefore energy was lacking.

    But I have a new mini goal to train for: my company's Christmas Party. It's December 16th and they pretty much go all out. Everybody gets done up to the nines and it's fabulous. I rented an AMAZING Badgley Mischka dress from Rent the Runway (love that website - rent couture dresses for SOOOO much less - you don't feel guilty about spending a fortune on a dress u only wear once - it's genius!) So I must do this dress justice and get my *kitten* in gear and in shape!!!

    Well as of tomorrown I am starting the CLX/ TF hybrid that in the TF guide book. I really need to get my *kitten* moving after taking off for longer than I care to admit and eating worse than I have in probably a year. I am close to my goal (15 to 20 pounds away) and really need to focus on getting back in the game. You ladies are such an inspiration to me! Thanks!

    I should not skip my work out . Once I do I skipped for 2,3 days and this weekend I ate so bad.
    Whenever I ate simple carbo, I keep wanting more also. I have to get back to my eating routine.
    Toniight I will do Push 3 and no more excuses!

    W3, Lean 1 - done!

    The Tricep Push-up: Quite possibly the most eeeeeeeevil exercise ever. Born from the depths of workout HELL.
    #1 - My triceps are the weakest thing on my body.
    #2 - I HATE push-ups.

    I've never been able to do one correctly, let alone on my toes. I've got the worst case of chicken wings and my elbows just pop out every time. How do you guys do this push-up???? Am I that weak or is there some secret???

    Muffin....I too never look forward to push ups. I've been gradually getting better but my head always hangs down and I know that is not correct. Hey at least I'm doint them right?!

    When I first started tricep push ups with Cathe, I started on the ball which was easier. I then moved on to the knees and now I can do "a few" on my toes. Just keep trying. I think they are like sit ups...no matter how many of them you do, the burn happens quick!

    So I totally blew off all but one workout this week. However, my week wasn't physically a waste. I've hauled boxes on top of boxes (rather heavy ones at that) up and down my basement stairs and done heavy duty cleaning the majority of the week. The good news is I didn't gain anything, but the bad news is I have to restart week 3 of push today. Between the workload I've had on my plate and the things I needed to accomplish while I had my kids home this week, it was a have-to situation to skip, but I'm definitely ready to get going again.

    Muffin--I can't do crap when it comes to triceps push-ups. I'm getting better at general push-ups on my toes and my husband complimented my form when he saw me doing the push-ups in push 3 the other day, but the triceps push-ups are THE DEVIL! Kinda glad it's only general push-ups in this phase.

    You guys are doing so GREAT!!! Keep up the excellent work!!

    Oops...I meant push 1, not push 3 with the push-ups. With that said Push1W3 done....again. :laugh:

    My tip re: tricep pushups, make sure your hands are directly under your shoulders. So much easier to push up from that position.

    Holy moly. My arms are a-shakin! Just finished Push Wk 1 Day 1. I was so nervous but made it through. I actually really like the shorter, more intense sessions. If we are talkin about what we really dislike.....I thought I hated pushups,,,but I have come to realize I detest deadlifting LOL!! Have a great day!

    I used to hate push up. Now I don't like push up but I do miss it when I don't do it.
    So far I like the push phrase. It's short and I sweat lots! Looking to lean phrase tho.
    I'll be there in another week.

    I am on my final week of lean month and I will be restarting from the beginning again. I HATE tricep push ups, I can just do maybe 1 before floppping all over the place and have to go on my knees. I like doing the push ups, I've been practising them for a good while so can do around 25-30 now on toes so they are no problems, but I don't think I will ever like doing the tricep push ups!

    The lean month has seen my body go lean, my belly is flattening out and I can see the good muscle definition all over my body, my body has never looked this good, even before the 2 pregnancies, I absolutely love this program!

    Hi all....I'm almost done with 3rd week of Burn phase. I was able to do 40# each dumbbell for chest press and chest fly which is quite a bump up from what I was doing before. I'm looking forward to the lean phase in one more week. I've also been thinking about what to do after CLX.....toying around with doing the P90X/TF hybrid. I printed out the scheule and it looks do-able....we'll see!

    Hello all....!

    I've finally decided to start a 2nd round of CLX... I slacked off after the 1st round and for the last 2 months I've been doing Turbo Fire Tone & Sculpt 30 classes.... but now I'm getting bored.

    Starting CLX now probably isn't that wise, since I know that I'm probably going to have gallbladder surgery in the new year.... but I need to do some lfting now...!

    So... I've just completed Burn Circuit 1 / Day 1... and I don't know if it's just in my mind.... but it didn't feel as hard as the 1st time doing it..... and I had to increase the weights eve more than what I last had recorded.

    Sumo Squat w/ Hip Lift - 8.75kg /19.25 lbs
    Lunge w/ Posterior Fly - 3.75kg / 8.25 lbs
    Push-up w/ Leg Lift - 4 Full & 8 Half
    Dead Lift w/ Posterior Fly - 3kg / 6.6 lbs
    Lunge w/ Core Rotation - 10kg / 22 lbs
    Bench Press & Leg Lower - 7.5kg / 16.5 lbs
    Squat w/ Side Bend - 10kg / 22 lbs
    Forward Lean Lunge w/ Posterior Fly - 3 kg / 6.6 lbs
    Chest Fly w/ Hip Lift - 5kg / 11 lbs

    Now off to do some Fire 45... wanted to do some Zumba, but DVD not working properly :(
