I didn't get my workout in yesterday. I did get to the store and get the inserts for my shoes hoping it will help. So here's today's goal....Slim & 6pk, SIU, and S&L. Regardless - I WILL get the Slim & 6pk and S&L done -no more excuses about the shins for me!
Richmand - thanks for sharing the info about calories burned. I've always wondered about that.0 -
Just a fast run by...
Got my.....Slim and 6pk, SIU, and S&L done!!
The 6 pk needs some work..... big time
MandyThomas WELCOME to you!! :flowerforyou:

I'm driving through real fast here too.
I just did S&6-Pack, Cardio Core Express, and Slim & Limber. Gotta run!0 -
Hello everyone!!
Glad to hear everyone is doing good!!
I did SIU last night as well as some interval training on my treadmill. I wore my HRM while doing both.
My calorie burn for SIU was 113 and my treadmill training was 413.
Tonight's plan is SIU & Slim & 6 Pack and some treadmill interval/hills training.
Have a great day everyone!!!0 -
Im back!!
Did 20mins on a weight loss program on the elliptical and slim & limber. Then took the dog for a 30min walk/run for a burn of 704 calories.
Todays total calories burned was 972!! Good thing I have lots of calories left we are having sausages, perogies and salad for dinner...yummy!
Jill & Shagy: Great job on getting those workouts in!!0 -
Yeah! Glad to see everyone is pushing play!
You guys are rockin' this for sure - keep it up!
Yesterday I did Slim Series Shape it Up (78 min) and today was Firm it Up (58 min)...and then I realized this was supposed to be a rest week. :huh: I had no clue it's been 4 weeks already. Ohhh well. Since I've already worked out 4 days this week I guess I'll finish up and take a rest week NEXT week lol. Time flies when you're having fun - Ha!
Checkin' in with you guys later...0 -
Wow Its great to see such activity going on here!!
Mandy I strained my back 2 week ends ago... wasnt sure weather if I was going to start..SI6 Monday or not, but glad I did. I have done Slim & Limber the last thing after all 3 days and it has REALLY HELPED!! ( Thanks to Jill) I urge you to gve it a shot. Cheers to you for starting up again! Its the best thing you could do for your boys.. is to take care of you
AWESOME job everyone:flowerforyou: See you tomorrow!0 -
Did Slim in Limber and Start it up. My back is feeling much better this morning. In case no one has tried it but I had bought some of the Activ On joint and muscle topical for my husband and tried it in my back. That is stuff is awesome by back feels much better this morning! YEA full speed ahead! Glad to see everyone is doing their work outs! See everyone tomorrow!0

OH yummmyy Sweettart!! That's what we are having for tonight's supper. So needless to say I'm going to have to burn some major calories too!!
I did Cardio Core Express last night. My shoulder was a bit achy (not sure what from) but it's better today. I was running short on time last night so I didn't get my Slim & 6 pack in like I wanted.
Tonight I plan on doing the Start it Up and probably going to hit the treadmill for a good interval run.
Glad to see everyone is keeping up with the workouts!! Way to go!!!!!!!!!!

I did Day 4 -Start It Up and Slim and Limber.. its getting easier.
Anybody else notice the music doesnt match the moves, I turned it off this morn and the w/o went much smoother.
Have a great day all!0 -
Oh yeah, I always turn the music off! That isn't an option with Cardio Core Express, but I actually like the music in that one.
I'm off to do one of my favorite Slim Series workouts: Firm It Up. It's pretty much lower-body stuff — lots of squats and lunges. Call me crazy, but I absolutely love squats!0 -
So the Slim Series is something you buy and do AFTER SI6??0
-
Short answer: Yes.So the Slim Series is something you buy and do AFTER SI6??
If you're already quite fit, you can skip right to Slim Series, but most people would do better to do Slim in 6 first. Plus, I still use some of the workouts from the original program, so I'm really glad to have both.0 -
Good Evening Ladies!
Callie: I also always turn off the music too annoying and boring.
Well today I did SIU for a calorie burn of 224. Then did 20 mins on the elliptical with the weight loss program and slim & Limber for another calorie burn of 378.
Total calorie burn for the day is 602. Only 1104 calories to burn in 2 days..I CAN SO DO IT!!
My abs don't hurt as much today or either does my neck (still hurts a bit) but the back of my thighs are still sore.
Jill: I dont mind doing squats its the lunges I HATE!!
See you ladies tomorrow!0 -
Mandy I bought some Acti On yesterday... even though I am almost healed... it still helps. THANKS!!
Shagybear Good Job
Jill Squats and lunges = a smaller, sculpted, lifted butt.. I HOPE!
Sweettart Same here squats ok... lunges a pain.. Yip-ee your geting stronger!!
I had a rough night up 3 times and waiting for my daughter to come home. So I am not in the mood to w/o.. but I'm gonna do it anyways, if I dont, its gonna be another time I have quit and I want this to work!!!! I beleive it will but I have to do it!
Have a HAPPY FRI and a w/o everyone :flowerforyou:0 -
How old is your daughter, Callie? I have two teens, and they cause me to lose more sleep now than when they were infants. Ugh!0
-
Callie: Tell your daughter she needs to start coming home earlier she isnt doing your health any good! You need your sleep. I get like that too where you dont want to w/o but trust me once you push yourself and do it you are SO glad you did!!
Just finished Slim & 6 Pack and SIU for a calorie burn of 287.
Later going to do the ellpitcal and slim & limber.
Time to clean
Have a great w/o everyone!!0 -
Ah feeling great workout #2 is done!
Did 20 min weight loss program on elliptical and then slim & limber.
I can't believe tomorrow is already week 1 done! Now time to move upto Ramp It Up!! The question is I do it for 1 or 2 weeks? hmm guess I'll find out next week!0 -
Well I got them done!! 6 pk, SIU & S & L!! I could tell I was tired but am stronger than I was Monday! Consistency is the key.... I gotta remember that!
Jill I have 2 teenagers... my daughter is 17 and son 19. I know it... TG for CELL PHONES!!!!!!
Sweettart I am glad I made myself. She was on a class field trip... I cant blame it ALL on her... the dog, light and a potty break had me up before she got home. GREAT JOB 2 x a day is going to yield results!!0 -
Sweettart MMMMM same ??? Do I move up ? Guess I better watch RIU this week end.0
-
Just did Slim & 6-Pack and Mix It Up. I definitely worked up an appetite for lunch!
Callie, my son will be 15 next month and my daughter 18 in June. Fun, isn't it? LOL0 -
Kick it up to Ramp it Up - you'll love it! Well, at least I did.
Jill - I did Mix it Up tonight also. I'm glad next week is a rest week; I somehow hurt my knee on those crossover lunges. :frown: I'm always really careful with my bad knees; not sure how it happened. Hopefully a good rest week will take care of that!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!! :drinker:0 -
Scoobees: I also have bad knees and Im a Physical Therapist Assistant so ice them. Ice them for 20mins a day twice a day and it should help. Also take ibuprfen
Well today was my last day of SIU for a calorie burn of 224. Also did 20 mins of weight loss program on elliptica and slim & limber for another calorie burn of 368.
Todays total is 592 and week total of 3620. Love sundays...rest day!
Well have a great weekend!0 -
Sorry you hurt your knees, Scoobees. I hope they recover fully during your rest week.
Good job on doing SIU, Sweettart. Have fun with RIU Monday! :devil:
I did Tone It Up today, which I had eliminated from my Slim Series repertoire, but in hindsight, I realized it has some good stuff in it that I ought to be doing. It was a heck of a workout, so I'm glad I did it.
Have a great weekend, everybody!0 -
JIll I see you do ! Its a BLAST... most of the time. They are really good kids !!! We are trying to enjoy them as much as possible .. it wont be long before they fly the nest! :sad: Can you tell me more about the Slim Series.. I know this is premature.. but I thought I would start looking into getting for when I complete SI6! Incentive.
Hi Scoobees Sorry about you knees.... have you tried a ice pk.. ? I use a bag of frozen peas... it works great, unless someone's eats them ... which happened.. gross, Now everyone in the house knows they are the official ice pack!! I hope they are better after a rest!!!
Sweettart I see you do the same.... Good job this week!!!!! Yeee-A rest day tomorrow!! Enjoy yours :flowerforyou: So I did SIU &
S & L this morn. Think I'm gonna give RIU a shot Monday also! Good Luck week 2 here we go!0 -
Sorry you hurt your knees, Scoobees. I hope they recover fully during your rest week.

Jill just caught your devil... maybe I should watch RIU 1st!! :bigsmile:0 -
Just completed my first time at Ramp It Up! wow those leg lifts kill my back side! Oh but I can tell they will work then! Looks like everyone is doing great! Keep pusing Play!0

Oh Yeah they will work! :devil: You will be surprised how fast those inches start melting away! Those leg lifts may be killer, but they work. I whined and moaned everytime but when I had jeans that I could never pull on over my thighs 'magically' slip right on - it was worth every single moan, whine, and cuss word. 
Thanks everyone for your well wishes regarding my knees! :flowerforyou: I am definitely icing & using ibuprophen - thanks! It's not bad right now; I am grateful this is a rest week for sure! I don't want to miss ANY workouts!!!
Callie - Slim Series is a blast! I like it especially for the variety it has - 6 different dvds are a blessing after doing the same one for so long with SI6. The book you received with SS gives you a choice of many different rotations designed for what results/body parts you really want to work on. Some dvds use no weights, some use dumbbells, some use the resistance bands, some use ankle weights, some use all of the above lol. The shortest is 57 min, and the 2 longest are 78 min so there is quite a bit of time investment with this series. But I can honestly say each workout is worth the time spent! Debbie also has the Slim Series Express program which I know nothing about - but the workouts are really short I hear, like 30 min? I wanted something more aggressive for sure. :devil: Sorry to go on and on - I can't help myself because I believe so much in this program. Beachbody also has community message boards for SI6 and SS if you haven't checked them out already. I learned alot over there about the programs, rotations, even how many calories I should be eating lol! Here's a little bit more about the Slim Series:

Have a wonderful weekend all!0 -
Hi girls
Mandy I have yet to watch and do... but ya made it through to tell about .... Good going!!
Scoobees Glad your resting those knees and their better! I like your enthusiasm!!!!... what better review!?!? If you believe in the program and LIKE ... you will do for sure!! I had been checking the BB boards out a bit when I was looking at purchasing SI6.
SI6 seems right up my alley and you girls rave about the Slim Series. I want to be prepared when SI6 is done. I am a bit concerned about the increases of length even in SI6.... but will have to deal with. But the variety in the SS sounds WONDERFUL!
How long were you on RIU and BIU w/ SI6?
Take care of those knees! 0 -
I would love to do it with you but I havent received mine yet! I just ordered it last week and am sitting on the edge of my set waiting for it to come! I posted a message last week asking if anyone has tried it and would they recommend it...I was doing the P90X program last year (same company produces both programs, beachbody.com) and loved it but hurt my back. It is better now but I am nervous to go back to the extreme workouts in the P90 program and this one doesnt seem as intense.
I will jump in with you as soon as I get my copies!
