Please use the weekly threads I will be creating for daily check-ins so we don't clog up the group with a ton of threads for each day.

This morning I went in to have my tooth fixed. I broke one of my molars a few weeks back because when I had a root canal done 3 years ago they were supposed to crown it and didn't. Well fast forward and when I took my vitamin several weeks ago it broke in half. They put a temporary in it until today when they could fix it. Well in the process my mouth/jaw is all bruised and it has affected my sinuses tonight. So I decided to make today a rest day, and double up my HIIT and Combat 45 workouts tomorrow.0

OMG
I hope it heals up nicely. Sounds rough 0 -
Today was Day 4- Combat 60 Cardio Fighter (so far this is my absolute favorite of them all). There are a couple of the combinations it takes me awhile to learn them and get them right, but I'm actually starting to do some jump kicks now.0

Good for you! Before you know it a week will pass!0 -
Well since I had taken the night off on Monday I went ahead and did my Tuesday workout Combat 60 Cardio Fighter, and will do doubles tonight with Kick Start 30 and Kata 45. Yesterday was my day 30! I am half way there!0

It's flying by for you!! Have you taken day 1 and day 30 photos? I'd love to see them posted in the Progress thread. I bet you feel amazing.0 -
Hi All! I started on Monday (6/3) and today was Combat 30 + Core Attack. That Core workout is TOUGH! The kicks are tricky, but I did better today than on Monday.
I had gained a few pounds over the past couple of months so I've reset my calories to 1200 here on MFP and am eating back my exercise calories. I wear a HRM and burn about 200 calories in the 30 minute workouts (Combat 30 and HIIT 1) and 75 for the shoter add-ons (Warrior Stretch and Core Attack). I've been crabby the past couple of days with the low calorie count...but the scale is moving so I'll deal with it.
Is anyone else wearing a HRM? What are your burns?

The gain could be water weight. When I started the 2nd phase of Insanity I was incredibly sore and I "gained" a little weight for a few days but due to the soreness I had I knew my muscles were retaining a ton of water. It all came right off as the soreness went away. I wouldn't freak out and decrease your calories for a temporary gain right off the bat. If you were losing at what you were eating and the only thing that changed is starting LMC - I'm willing to bet you didn't actually gain weight.
As for a HRM, I don't have one right now. I have the BodyMedia LINK armband that tracks my calories burned. I might get the new one that is coming out this fall that will have an optional HRM band as well which would be cool to see if it changes my burn.

I do wear a heart rate monitro and my burns on combat for a 3 minute workout is usually 250 or more...There are a lot of factors that go into it though.....You can check my diary...it shows my my burn...tonight I am doing doubles, so it will be a little different.0 -
Last night I was going to do doubles, I made it through Kick Start 30 and about 20 minutes of Kata 45 and I was done! Tonight is my rest night and I will probably do the Kata 45 workout to stay on track! With Kick Start 30 I burned 253 Calories and with what I did on teh Kata 45 I burned an additional 207 calories. I also threw in an additional 70 squats for good measure! Hope everyone else is having a great Combat journey!0

Thanks for your reply! The weight came on over time, before I started LMC, mainly because I haven't been eating the best, and drinking too many adult beverages. I'm using this new beginning as a way to shed those pounds! I have decided that MFP's suggested 1200 is too low for me though, so I'm taking it up to 1400.0 -

Today was my first time doing Shock Plyo HIIT 2 - WOW! My burn was 275 for that less-than 30-minute workout! I'm interested to see what it will be next time when I am more familiar and get more of the moves in! Followed that up with the Warrior Stretch as the schedule suggests, for a total burn of 350 today. Tomorrow I do Kata 45 for the first time and Saturday Warrior 2-Lower Body Lean Out. So far, I'm liking this program!0 -
I personally have mine set to 1700 calories and that works for me. You may find that by bumping it up you might drop a few. I lost 6 lbs in a month when I bumped mine up.Hi All!

I do wear a HRM when I workout. Usually burning 300 for Combat30 KS. That's usually the least I burn unless I have an off day when it comes to working out....
Today is my rest day and I am taking it. I am extremely tired and one of my little girls isn't feeling too well.....back at it tomorrow!0 -

I am with you! Was going to workout, but decided to take my rest day also...Did get a little in, but listening to my body. Tomorrow is a new Day!0 -
I'm on day 4 and did HIIT Plyo and Inner Warrior. Though I only had a few hours of sleep last night so I didn't do my all during the workout. At least I did it though. :happy:0
-
I had done 1 and half workouts the night before to stay on track...and was going to redo the entire workout Kata 45, but decided to take my scheduled rest day! I needed it...I did get in some squats and a few other things. Tonight I will be back on schedule. Hope everyone is doing well!0

You guys are all doing SO GREAT!! Keep it up 0

Today was my first time doing Combat 45 - Power Kata. I can already tell that my butt is going to be sore tomorrow from all of those back kicks! Found that when I really focused on my core during the part where you do "knee kicks/blocks" I could really feel it there. Need to remember that. Tomorrow is Warrior 2 - Lower Body Leanout and I'm going to join my running group for a 4 mile run. TGIF everyone!0

Wow it is Friday already!0 -
Last night was Extreme Cardio 60. I burned 598 calories and added 80 squats to it for good measure. I really was thinking about going to bed early, but changed my mind and so glad I did! I am hoping to get in an even better burn today, since I get off work early today! Hope everyone has a good weekend!0

Sorry I have been MIA since Thursday. My 5 year old got sick after her Pre-K graduation and hasn't been feeling to well these paste few days. So I haven't worked out much this week, which stinks. I am aiming to redo week 2's schedule because of it starting Monday.0

Hi everyone! I just ordered Combat last night! I hope to receive it by the end of next week. I'm excited to give Combat a try and start something new. I'm a Turbo Fire junkie, but needed a break.
How do you all like Combat?

Just finished my Day 5, Power Kata45. Got a burn of 666 calories! I forgot how much I missed Martial Arts. I have a heavy bag sitting there and feeling inspired to put it up. I think tomorrow is Warrior 2, so I'll see what that's about. Good stuff. Off to make a recovery drink. 0

Finished Day 6 earlier today and tomorrow's rest day! :happy: I'm following the Ultimate Warrior calendar but sometimes, I feel I want to do more.0
