    I'm so glad that I checkout out this SI6 thread ~ it's made my decision about P90X so much easier! I've decided to start with SI6 and work my way up to X. Ordered it yesterday and it should arrive within 7 days!

    Jill, thanks for the link to the fitness test. That sealed my decision!

    Callie: If you are interested I got my BLBC at target for $10

    Well that was an awesome workout to make up for all the pizza I ate last night! Burned 580 calories doing slim & 6 pack and BIU.

    Going to also bring the dog for a walk today.

    Have a great w/o everyone!

    Thanks Sweettart... think I'll look for it ! GOOD JOB on your w/o!

    I pulled off another RIU! Put a pillow under my arms durning the mat phase it helped my elbows. I have been using weights both arms... except on the triceps. Think I'll do CIO , tomorrow to change it up!

    Till tomorrow... keep on keeping on!

    RadianWear ...Good morning... I have one, but need to figure out how to use:noway:

    Jill & Scoobes I have a question on Slim and Six. Could you please rank the w/o's on each dvd.. from BEST - WORST w/o on down, including which you use/like the most! I can get most SS dvd's at Amazon for cheaper ....I believe? Then use my Amazon bucks. CIO was only 4.95 and that was with S & H! Thank you!!

    Tone it up
    Tear It up
    Shape it up
    Mix it up
    Firm it up
    Cool it off

    *Am I defeating the purpose and missing something if I were to only use a few of the dvd's? (I know I would, but is it worth saving a few $$$$?)

    5. Tone it up — Approx. 60 minutes. Cardio with resistance; more upper than lower body, but it has leg lifts that KILL my hips.
    4. Tear It up — Approx. 80 minutes. More intense cardio with resistance. Challenging, but satisfying.
    6. Shape it up — Approx. 80 minutes. Less intense cardio with resistance. Kind of boring.
    3. Mix it up — Approx 60 minutes. Nice overall cardio with resistance.
    1. Firm it up — Approx. 60 minutes. Great lower-body workout; lots of squats. Love it!
    2. Cool it off — Approx. 60 minutes. A few minutes of warmup; almost an hour of stretching. Very rejuvenating.

    RadianWear - Yes, I wear a HRM almost every workout. I just love :heart: gadgets lol.

    Callie - Jill gave such excellent descriptions so I won't bore you with more. :tongue: My ranking on Slim Series:
    #1 - Tear it Up - aka "I can conquer anything now' workout :laugh:
    #2 - Firm it Up
    #3 - Shape it Up - didn't enjoy at first, but grew to NEED it :tongue:
    #4 - Mix It Up
    #5 - Tone it Up
    #6 - Cool it Off

    And YES! Debbie is much more enjoyable (and better cues lol) in the SS w/o's! She has some funny banter that STILL cracks me up. :laugh:

    I'm not sure how to answer your question as to whether you'd be missing out on anything by not getting the whole set. I'm a really weird/fanatical :tongue: person who follows the guidebooks & schedules to a Tee. So, yeah I use all of them (well, ok, not Cool it Off lol) and pretty close in the order of each rotation that I am presently on. Will you miss anything? Probably not a lot...2 of them are total body (Tear it Up & Shape it Up) and Firm it Up is lower...but the others are a mix, so most likely you'd be hitting all the major muscle groups anyway. She just does different moves in each workout.

    Did that even help at all???? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Just finished another day of BIU. I am now finally starting to get bored of that video. I burned 510 calories and modified somethings because my knees are bothering me today.

    Time for dinner and ice my knees!

    Sweettart Your Welcome on the SS! Great Job on your doing BIU's !! Congratulations on going into your final week of SI6! :drinker: :drinker: I am way behind you... but not stopping till I finished the 36 days. How many BIU did you do? Thought I do RIU 3 more times & then..... 18 BIU.

    That is great, Callie! You must have been so proud of your daughter! How is her ankle this morning?

    Today I'll be doing SIU and Cool It Off. Tomorrow is just Cool It Off. And Monday? P90X, baby!

    Callie - I'm glad your daughter was able to pull it off! You must be so proud of her! :flowerforyou:

    Sweettart - You have the most awesome calorie burns! I'll bet you DO feel amazing!!! :drinker:

    Jill - Are you gettin' ready to 'bring it' ? :wink: I hope you enjoy the last of your recovery workouts before your next round of X! :drinker:

    Well, I did it. I just finished clicking the order button for P90X. :drinker: I have no clue what I'm getting into :tongue: but I know I need to continually challenge myself with all these programs or I'll just get bored and give up. I've been reading some stuff on Sparkpeople's P90X team and most of it is really positive and encouraging. Just like any workout program, there seems to be a lot of emphasis on following the nutritional program if you want to experience those 'extreme' results. I so suck at following the nutritional part :sad: but I will sure give it a good shot!

    Have a wondeful weekend everyone!!! :drinker:
