Thanks butterfycz, though I'm not quite ready for the bikini shots...yet. Right now my new routine consists of Hiit/Strength Training 3 days a week and Cardio (either TF or Jillian Michaels) 3 days a week and a day of rest, which for me will probably be yoga. I picked up New Rules of Lifting for Women, hoping to step up my workout.0 -
Week 2, Day 1. Has anyone else had a weight gain in the beginning? I noticed I'm up almost 3lbs. Don't know if it's just me or if it's normal.0

Fire 55EZ done...again!! Looks like I will be have to get used to this and Fire 30 for the next 4 weeks haha...twice a week?? Couldn't they have switched it up a tiny bit more haha?0

I think I know why this is a lot of people's favorite - After Week 1 she (and YOU) has built your stamina up so much that you can do this workout no problem!
I just did this one yesterday and when Charlene said "you aren't tired" she wasn't lying! I had the energy to do the workout and then some.
Only annoying thing was the sweat I had to keep wiping away...eventually it just got funny. I never thought I'd be able to work out like that :P0 -
HIIT 25 done it was intense but I made it through, Fire 45 is my fav I love the songs on there..... Boom I Got Your Boyfriend!!!0
-
I got so sick of that one lol.Fire 55EZ done...again!! Looks like I will be have to get used to this and Fire 30 for the next 4 weeks haha...twice a week?? Couldn't they have switched it up a tiny bit more haha?
I did Fire 45 today. I have to get in a Fire 30/Sculpt 30 day and Core one day. I took this week to make up the 3 workouts I've missed so far, then will start the last HIIT phase on Saturday!0 -
Week 2, Day 1. Has anyone else had a weight gain in the beginning? I noticed I'm up almost 3lbs. Don't know if it's just me or if it's normal.
During week 2 I had a three pound gain, I repeated week 2 and lost the three pounds plus another 1/2 pound. I also raised my calories a bit during my repeat of week 2, I found that after my excercise calories were added in I was barely eating 1100 calories. I'm getting better, but still don't think I 'm eating enough.0 -
Does everyone use a heart rate monitor to calculate their calorie burn? I use a cheaper one that I bought from Amazon and I feel like it calculates my burn so low, especially for the HIIT workouts I'm only burning 170 calories at best and I'm working my butt off at 191 lbs!! I've even tried leaving the monitor on for an hour or so after the workout since I know that the "afterburn" can go on for hours, but it usually only goes up about 20 calories...Maybe I'm not working as hard as I think I am?0

My 20 HIIT/10 Stretch workout yesterday with my Sportline 630 calculated 241 @ 166lbs. I believe you should be burning more. Maybe the HRM you purchased isn't as accurate as it should be. Does it have a chest strap and also ask age/height/weight?
On a side note...my mom (who does not exercise) screwed up her rotator cuff this week and is "out of commission" for work until tomorrow at the least. I proceeded to show her Chalene's stretches and told her she should probably be doing those on a daily basis when her shoulder starts to feel better.
It's my rest day today....anyone else feel crappy on rest days? I feel like I'm going to have to get out and do SOMETHING today. I can't not workout now......how the hell did this happen!?!?! :glasses:0 -

Are you at or above your target heart rate? Nothing makes me work harder than hearing the beeping on my HRM when I drop below my THR. Also think about adding some weighted gloves or wrist weights, that helped me when I started getting used to the workouts because even though I felt like I was working my *kitten* off, my HRM barely ticked up.0 -

Yes it has a chest strap, but no it does not ask any of the questions. Maybe I should invest in a better HRM. Thanks for the input!0 -

My heart rate is always in the 160 - 170 zone when doing the TF workouts that I've been exposed to so far, I'm only in week 3 of the reg. schedule. I'm not really sure where it should be, I know my resting rate is around 75.0 -

I'm so glad to hear that! I was really discouraged seeing my gain. I can't wait till my next weigh in now! I noticed MFP has me eating less calories than what the TF nutrition plan says. I wonder if that makes a difference also.0 -
Hi! Just found your group and am so excited to join you all. I completed the prep schedule last summer, fell off track through the winter but am back on track. I am on the regular schedule now, week 2 day 3. I really love Chalene, she keeps me motivated throughout the workouts. I have tried this a few times in the past but feel energized, like everything is FINALLY clicking into place. Please feel free to friend me, I would love to add more friends for motivation and to offer motivation to others. :happy:0

Hi everyone! I just started week 9 - I can't believe it! I have really been enjoying the workouts, but I have not seen a change on the scale or in inches. I blame myself - I have had ZERO focus on my diet so far. AND I've just come home from a 3 week trip visit family overseas. (I kept up with my workouts, but did LOTS of eating.) So this week I'm doing a massive nutrition overhaul!!! Wish me luck!0
-
I did! I forget how much, I think I was up something like 5 lbs the first few weeks. I had been pretty sedentary so that's normal (it is when you start a new routine, too). I find overall I haven't had huge weight loss, but a bigger change in inches. The loss is slow if you're building muscle at the same time.Week 2, Day 1. Has anyone else had a weight gain in the beginning? I noticed I'm up almost 3lbs. Don't know if it's just me or if it's normal.0 -
My burns with the HIITs are lower because the high HR isn't being maintained as long as with the cardio (plus they're shorter workouts), but you will get more accurate estimations with one that uses your age/gender/height/weight to calculate burns.Does everyone use a heart rate monitor to calculate their calorie burn?

What kind do you have? I use a Pyle. It's relatively inexpensive (compared to more popular brands) but does ask all those questions. I too wondered about the accuracy because of my weight and the amount of sweat. Last night I did the HIIT 20+Stretch 10 and I burned 229 calories total. I'm not sure if your friends with Kakes80 but she posted today that she did the same workout without the stretching and burned like 207. She uses the Polar brand. She does weigh slightly more than I do though. Here is the amazon link for the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006QP0R2E/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=10
