Just wanted to say I did my 2nd day of Start It Up today. My thighs and butt are a little sore from all the squats and lunges but it feels pretty good. I felt like I had a little less energy doing it today possibly b/c I did w5d1 of c25k just before it. But, I still made it through the whole thing fairly well.
How is everyone else doing??
Jenn, when do you think you're dvd's will arrive? I am anxious for you to get started and see how you like it!

Good job getting day 2 of SIU in!
I'm not sure yet what I'm going to be doing for my workout today. I did Ramp it Up really late last night, so I wasn't quite ready to do it again this morning, but I may opt to run after work instead, then do the Si6 abs and stretching workouts afterwards. I'm hoping to start the Bridge to 10K program today (follow-up to C25K), but I'm not sure if I'll be able to run yet or not--I did something to my left hamstring last week. Debbie Siebers is really serious about stretching you out properly, though, and after doing all those leg workouts last night, plus the yoga and other stretches, my hamstring is feeling very good so far today. It's so nice when a workout instructor takes the time to stretch you out adequately! My instructor at a 45-minute circuit class I take at the the YMCA has us do cool-down stretches for like a minute and that's it. No wonder people get injured!!
I'm also interested to hear how the rest of you are doing!! 0 -
Second day completed here and my abs, and back and front of my thighs are sore ! she sure loves the abs and squats lol ! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK LADIES ! !0

Just about ready to do Start It Up day 2! How long are you all doing the Start It Up workout before you move on to the next one? I only have the DVDs so I'm not sure what the exact schedule is supposed to be.0

When I first started, I thought I'd have to do SIU for the whole time, but I think I ended up moving to RIU after a week. I was in pretty bad shape to start, but doing the exercises every day, your body gets used to it pretty quickly and was ready to take on more. I guess that's why all their testimonial people have such good results. 0

Well, it came in last night... I am going to hit it hard tomorrow! Had a rough day today...0

So how is everyone doing? My butt muscles hurt today! :laugh:0

Oh, my gosh... my butt muscles hurt so bad I can barely walk and I want to cry every time I have to stand up or sit down!!! But I just tell myself that it will all be worth it soon. I might need reminding from time to time, though... 0 -

Me 2. I'm thinking Monday will be day one for RIU!0 -
Well, I am a bit sore today from my class at the gym yesterday. I started the DVD this morning and had to stop right where you start with the bands. I am going to start there later today to finish it though.0

I DID IT!!! I DID IT!!!!!
Last night I did the streatches, wonderful! This morning I did the AB workout.. Very hard I might add.... And tonight my kids were all gone and my hubby left to go deer hunting, so I thought why not??? I pushed play and did the entire thing without stopping!!! All 30 minutes of it! Bad thing was I forgot my HRM so now I can't log it correctly. boo. I was dripping sweat! Who would have thought these easy moves would be so... hard?!? I am so proud of me!!! Woot Woot!!! I wanted to do this in all caps because inside myself I am screaming it on the the page, but I didn't want to be rude!0 -
I am starting tomorrow so I will be a week behind hope I can still be part of the group.0

Good job to all of you getting started! Don't worry about being a week behind us... I don't think anybody here is doing this religiously every day. (Well... I'm not, anyway!) Some of us are doing C25K and other stuff as well, so you won't be behind.
I just had a question for the rest of you doing this workout. Are you gaining weight? Because I am. I did RIU and the next day, I could hardly walk and I had gained 4 lbs overnight. Obviously that's water weight, because my muscles definitely needed to repair themselves after that workout. However... it's been several days now and I still haven't lost all of that 4 lbs. I'm 1.8 lbs higher than I was last week at this time, and I am not happy. It's nice to get smaller and tighter, but I also want to get lighter... not just for vanity, but because being this weight puts strain on my joints and makes it harder for me to run. I'm going to monitor my results with SI6, and I'm thinking if I keep on gaining weight, I might stop doing the workout and focus only on cardio. I was just wondering if this is happening to anyone else.0 -
Did day 6 of SIU today. I was thinking of strating RIU tomorrow but tomorrow is my dreaded W5D3 of C25K with the 20 min straight run!! I don't think I want to move on to RIU after running for 20 mins.. lol. So I think I will start RIU on Wed.0
-
Did my SIU day 6 today not yesterday as I previously posted. I forgot I didn't do any exercise on Sat so I was a day behind. I am so proud of myself b/c I did the 20 min run today and even though I was worn out I still did SIU. Tomorrow I will start RIU and I will probably only be doing it every other day alternating between RIU and C25K & Slim & 6-pack and continue doing Slim & Limber each night.0

I did so well over the weekend, but Monday my allergies have gotten so bad to where I can't breathe at all. I have had to take a break from working out. I feel like death. I also have had a kink in my neck for the past few days, and it will not go away. I have stretched and even taken muscle relaxers and no help. I am hoping to get back to my workout tomorrow.0

RIU day 2 done
I am doing it every other day now. It just works better that way, time wise. I like ramp it up a lot. My butt muscles have been sore again. I don't care for all the leg raises b/c they burn! But like Debbie says "if it burns then that means it's working"! I like the resistance band stuff and the sumo squats and kicks.
Hope everyone else is sticking with it and doing well!!0 -

Sweet! I am getting back full force tomorrow. My new goal is to do it Saturday and sunday. I need a tiny goal to shoot for. LOL0 -
Check in for this week...
[coughs, shuffles feet]
This is only my second Slim in 6 day for the week. I know. Not very impressive on the score of daily commitment, but I did work up quite a magnificent sweat, so that should be worth something, right? Also, I did Burn it Up today because I wanted to see if I could. I was very happy to note that I was able to do it all without too much trouble, although after the million-and-eleventh lunge, I did leave to get a drink of water because my knees were crackling worse than a bowl of rice krispies. It was kind of freaking me out, actually. 
Looks like I'm probably going to be skipping my circuit training class tomorrow morning because I'll be too sore from doing my circuit training video tonight. Oh, well. I think between SI6 and B210K and the Y, I should be dropping some serious weight here pretty soon. That's the plan, anyway. 0 -
I did day 1 of Start It Up tonight. I completed everything except the 2nd plie phase, the armbands and the push-ups. My wrist hurts. That's why I couldn't do the push-ups. Not sure what's wrong with it. I can twist and turn it any which way and don't feel a thing. But if I try to put pressure on it I have a sharp pain. It's been that way for about 2 weeks now.
I plan on doing Day 2 in the morning and try to add in at least one thing I skipped tonight. Hope everyone else is doing great.0 -

Did you mean Ramp It Up? On my dvd they don't start using the resistance bands until Ramp It Up but I have wondered if my dvd's were different since they are like 5 years old.0 -
I am still doing Ramp It Up every other day or so. I think I did my 6th day of it today. I am thinking of moving on to Burn It Up but I am not sure when I should. I def don't feel like I am getting enough of a work out from Ramp It Up anymore. I want to burn MORE calories!!
How is everyone else doing???0 -

I'm doing pretty well with it... but still not doing it every day.
SlackerMommy, I think you are ready for Burn It Up. It sounds to me like you've definitely grown out of Ramp It Up if you're able to say you're not getting enough of a workout. 0 -
Well I have been doing Burn It Up for a couple of days now. I think yesterday was my second day. It is def a lot harder than Ramp It Up but I don't feel sore afterwards or the next day or anything which kind of makes me think it's not working but maybe it's just b/c I am in better shape than I used to be. Plus I stretch each night and I'm sure that helps.0

Ok -- My last post can get scratched. Today I did day 1 of Start It Up. lol This time I plan to stick with it. Actually looking forward to tomorrow. I did the whole tape today except for the plie phase and the armbands. I was tired -- had already done an hour on treadmill plus day 1 of the c25k thing. But I did get in 10 push-ups this time So an improvement. I know this group is supposed to be through 12/20. But I'm just getting started and will post weekly updates on my progress until I finish the entire program. 0

How awesome for you to do the DVD after you did everything else!!! I know we were supposed to have a date limit, but what the heck. We can go on and on. I started the beginning of november, and did it and quit then started it again. So we all have things going on. We just need to try to do better.0 -
Just checking in to see how everyone is doing! How is Slim in 6 coming along for everyone? 0

Just checking in
I am still doing Burn It Up every other day on my non-run days. I have tried a couple other videos trying to mix it up a bit but I like Burn It Up better than the others so I am sticking with it for now.
Hope everyone else is doing well no matter what you are doing at this time 0 -

I actually have VHS Tapes back from maybe 2002?? Almost 10 years ago. The Start It Up tape includes about 11 minutes of the bands -- longer time for the instructions. I've had the tapes this long and have never seen the Burn It Up tape. SO SAD!!! I know. But once again, I am starting the series again tonight after work and I will actually stick with it this time. I want to finish all three tapes by end of Feb. hoping to get a loss before my birthday in March.0 -
Finished Start It Up tonight. Rest tomorrow then Ramping It Up on Friday! Told you I'd stick with it this time around -- it just took me about a month to get started - LOL
Looking so forward to kicking some butt and hopefully losing some inches!0
