Slim In 6 Workout Buddies Wanted!

Thank you scoob , thats a good start until I get my HRM figured out.

I'm going to give my best and log everything in for the next 2 weeks and it should be complete.

Yes Tony sounds like a blast from what I have seen! Wow 6 days... already!!

Keep pushing play and having fun!!

Those of you who are doing Slim in 6, how are you tracking your workouts? I have no idea how to calculate how many calories I've burned if I add the video as a new exercise. Any advice is appreciated!

Callie - When I was giving it my best, I burned around 375 during BIU and I logged mine under low impact aerobics.

I'm hit & miss with the food diary , but it does get easier - especially if you tend to eat a lot of the same foods.

And yeah - I am actually having a ball SO FAR with P90X, today was Day 6 with Kenpo - unbelievably fun!!!!

HI sam52 I took scoobees advice and I log it under low impact aerobics. Are you just starting SI6?

G'morning Callie! :flowerforyou:

Hi everyone - if there's still any SI6ers left. Thought of you guys as I popped in BIU this evening. Yeah, what happened to my P90X?? Well, I missed 6 workouts in a row (don't ask lol!!!) and since I only made it to day 7 :grumble: I might as well start over; most likely next week. Felt like doin' some DS, and I sure missed cussing at her during the leg lifts.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday!

Its to....... slow around here!!

Anybody planning to do SI6 durning the summer??

You gotta spice it up!! :laugh:

I'll check it out....

I just watched.. it looks intense and loads of fun..... makes you want to get in there and w/o w/ the class. CJ is so motivational!

Jill have you done or heard how...... DS Slim Series Express is?

I haven't done it, and I haven't heard much about it either. It looks like it's basically Cardio Core Express, which I like, but that already comes with Slim in 6 now (didn't used to); Cardio Sculpt Express; and Cool It Off Express. It's half the price of the regular Slim Series, and if I had it to do all over again, I would still get the full Slim Series rather than the Express version.

I like CCE. I'd do that and Slim & 6-Pack one day and RIU the next. Way more enjoyable than BIU day in and day out!

Ohhh yeah, I always loved Cardio Core Express! I used to do it after RIU when I wanted a lil extra calorie burn.

Jill - I watched a few clips of TF awhile ago - looks awesome! To me, it looked like Turbo Jam with an Insanity slant - is that pretty close? Would LOVE the HIIT aspect, but also looks very high impact. Wish some of these workouts were around before I screwed up my knees lol!!!

Back to P90X today; Core Syn...boy, I can tell I strayed away from exercise too long...and my diet too crappy. That one just about wiped me up today. Lesson learned? Probably not!

Happy Monday!

Hey Callie!! :flowerforyou: Have you tried any of your Slim Express dvds yet? I don't even remember what comes with that program - just that they are shorter lol. I have to say I am totally missing Debbie right now and I KNOW that I will go back to SI6 & Slim Series for another go after (if lol!) I ever finish a round of this P90X. I restarted the darn thing - again.

Hope you're doing well and I miss talking with ya!!! :drinker:

Hey Scoobees Good to see you:flowerforyou: Sh.t NO!....:noway: Only went as far as taking them out of the package. There is Cardio Sculpt Express, Cool It Off Express, Cardio Core Express ( that came w/ SI6 also) & 6 Mins Abs. Looks like their 30-35 mins in length. To much going on here, were busy but really good. I need to buckle down seriously.... I'd be better! Kudos for you for restarting P90X, do you like? Keep chipping away.... your going to make it! Are you having a good summer, you get a summer break .. right?

Hi Robin I never finished got as far in as 2- Burn It Ups. I didn't see any weight loss,( because of my diet) but my clothes were getting looser and I felt so much stronger. You have to do what works for you, sounds like the gym is it for you. You can always go back to SI6... in the future.

Robin - I had great results with SI6, it was just too repetitive for me so I alternated those workouts with classes at the gym. The follow up program to SI6 (Slim Series) has sooo much more variety; and Debbie is much more funny and appealing.

Callie - Receiving the package is the BEST part. Hate actually having to DO them. :laugh: It sounds like you've been so busy still. You'll get back to the workout grind I'm sure. I do like P90X, but I find that I don't look forward to the workouts like I did with SI6/SS. It's all in my head because I really have never enjoyed heavy weight training; I'd rather do cardio all day long lol. :ohwell: But I know I NEED to do this part. And YES! I have summers off, so that is very dangerous for me in that I am WAY less active. So I am doing my own version of P90X Classic doubles, where I am hitting the gym in the morning for some cardio and doing my P90X later in the evening. I have to burn some calories somehow! Summers = Scoob the Couch Potato :noway:

Jill - Gosh I loved TJ and Chalene. The first time I lost weight, I lost the last 50# doing her TJ. Would LOVE to try some Turbo Fire someday; have to see how these joints hold up with Plyo X. :grumble: I so agree about Slim & 6 Pack! I think I felt that one way more than Ab Ripper X - which I hate. :grumble:

Exactly - slower & more controlled. For me, ARX is just a frenzied & flailing attempt at trying to crank out all those reps. I guess I need to hit the pause button.

Edited to add - I like your new signature!
