    Hi everyone! Just finished pure cardio and yogaX today. I noticed that i get really really cold after the workouts, and i am wondering what is causing that. Is anyone else experiencing that?

    Other than that great day, great workout...

    I have gotten cold too, but i don't know the reasoning behind that. I would love to hear an answer to that question

    Me Too!!!

    Just Finished Legs and back + ab ripper x

    I did really good in legs and got in alot of reps on the pull up bar but in Ab ripper x, i was tired and my belly hurt. Today wasn't a good day in that department.

Oh and my brother in law just said he could tell that I have lost inches..I didn't tell him I had until after he told me that wonderful compliment!!! What a great evening!!! LOL!:wink:

    I am on my second round and still surprising myself!! It is such a great motivator and keeps me going all the time!! I'm always pushing myself to do better than the last workout... and I LOVE the idea of writing everything down... it makes it really easy to see the progress in my fitness every day! Congrads with your success and keep it up!!!

    Ab ripper x is still REALLY hard for me.... that is the one workout where I just can't keep up at all!!! But just do your best and forget the rest right???

    Only of the few problems I have with the ab ripper x is keeping my legs straight throughout all those exercises...It seems that all they want to do is bend. I fight to keep them half way straigh, but it is really hard!! I am going to keep working on it and hopefully this improves with time!

    I hear that! It's still weird to me that we're only 3 weeks (+) in to the program, yet many of us can already see/feel ourselves progress! I am already able to keep up/do the moves properly better than I was the first time....and it's only week 3! (???) Seems unreal.

    I did want to say though, what helps me learn the moves and be able to DO them, is pausing the disk. A few of the moves take me longer to reach 25 reps than it does for them. I figure, I'd rather be a little slower but reach 25, than try to keep up, without proper form, and only reach 15-20 reps. It takes longer to finish the dvd, but I'm hoping to work my way up to their pace.

    That is a great idea about pausing the disk!! Duhhh why didn't I think of that?!?! I'm only on my second round of this thing haha!! I'll try it tonight and let you all know how I make out!!!!

    Sometimes it takes two days for the soreness to set in for me. I couldn't tell you why exactly that happens, but you're not alone!

    W3D5, Legs & Back/ARX done this morning!! I am SOOOO HAPPY to have a break from this routine next week. Ab Ripper is especially hard on this day since my legs are so spent... Ab Ripper X. I hate it, and I hate it. :tongue:

    Well today i doubled it up
    I did X Stretch then Kenpo X. I missed one day this week so i knew i had to double it up one day. I tried something different today and had my protein shake after my workout. I don't think i will do that again. I did really good in Stretch but when i got to Kenpo i was pretty tired but i made it through. Now i have to go to work. i need to wake up.


    P.S. Tonight i am going to post the new board for Recovery week. All i ask is that you guys wait for the new board to go up before you post your weekly weigh-ins. Also don't redue your measurments until the end of phase 1 which is next sat.

    W3D4 completed. Feeling really good about the commitment. I gotta be honest, I'm a little too excited to start to seeing more definition in my body. For this first month, I haven't taking any performance supplements. Just my standard Omega 369, spirulina, and protein to maintain muscle.

    First, I gotta just say, thanks SO much for all the support & motivation yall have given me since we started this program...it makes such a huge difference! :flowerforyou:

    W3D5 complete!

    I actually discovered something today that didn't make me too happy................

    Apprently I'd been doing double the reps for the V Raise & Leg Climb, counted wrong on the V Raise and didn't realize he didn't do 25 reps on EACH leg for the Leg Climb. I guess that's the downfall for pausing the disk so I can get my full set of reps! lol Grrrr...

    Recovery week just happens to be the week I'm flying out to ski Mt. Hood, Wednesday - Sunday. We'll probably do 3-4 day's. I'm going to bring my DVD's with and do them, as I think Yoga, Stretching, etc. would be great after the slopes. Any thoughts?
