Looking for accountability and support! This program in only $9.99 and requires minimal equipment...
If anyone wants to join me, we can post our results here!
I'll be getting up at 5:30 to get these workouts in! So I need all the motivation I can get!

$9.99 Nope I'm good.0

I like her workouts. But why pay $9.99? She posts free workouts everyday....0
-
I would like to follow a program, let someone else (better informed) decide the best sequence and process. I don't think $9.99 for 8 weeks is much to spend, and I don't mind supporting a great service.0

I have done it !
It kicks your butt into sweeet shape! Good luck to you! If I wasnt doing another programme currently, I would have totally done this with you again. Do keep us updated about your progress

@jojoeastcoast , I did not lose much weight with it, merely 2-3 kgs. But I lost inches all over. Within 2 months, my husband (who typically sees me everyday, lol) said that I looked slimmer. Also, the program is great for cardio conditioning and building overall strength too. My shoulders and back have never looked more chiselled, and I can atleast do 7-8 full form pushups at a go now
For 10$ it is a steal given no workout is repeated and since experienced trainers have decided upon a schedule, a lot of risk w.r.t injuries resulting out of overuse/ less rest can be ruled out.0 -
That's perfect @tgoila --- I have some weight to lose (about 10-15lbs), but I don't expect it to come off in 8 weeks (hopefully in 15 though!)... but getting in better shape, improving my endurance and increasing my energy are definite goals with this program!0
-
I checked it out and just bought it! I have to wait until after Easter to start so I can buy my own dumbells, but it looks so exciting! Please, share your progress!0
-
@katiely95 Will do! A local BFF is doing it with me. I'm excited! I just did Day 2 of their free 5-day challenge and loved it (even though I am sore from Day 1)!0

Bumping this as I'm starting this week and still looking for accountability buddies!
I'll post the (laughable) results of the starting fitness test when I complete it. 0 -

Thanks! I'll check it out0

One more question...do you know what kind of dumbells are needed? Lighter for endurance, or heavy for strength?0
-
From what I've seen so far, their motto is lift as heavy as you can. Reps seem to vary from 8-12 for strength. There are deadlifts so you may want some heavier ones. I have 5, 8, 10lbs pairs and then bars/plates for heavier but I haven't needed them yet, lol.0
-
Thank you! They just say "dumbells" in the description. No mention of what weights may be needed.0
-
I haven't looked too far ahead at the workouts, but I'm guessing it is similar to those in their 5-Day Challenge for Busy People and I just completed day 4 of that. 0

Sounds so interesting...0

Reporting my starting fitness test results:
I don't have a treadmill and the weather is crap so instead of the 1 mile run I recorded how many steps I could do in 20 mins of my elliptical at a level 2 resistance:
2382 steps in 20 mins
15 half push-ups
70 squats (thought I injured myself on that last one!)
63 second full static plank
-0.8" stretch
Measurements:
Bust: 40.5"
Belly: 38" (2 fingers below my navel)
Hips: 41"
Weight: 154lbs
Yep, I'm an apple...0 -
Even though I wasn't able to recruit any buddies, I still want to be accountable. So I am popping in to report that I just finished the first workout of week 2! I feel great and not nearly as sore as I was (as in, I can sit and stand without grunting again). 0
-
Just wanted to let you know, I started the challenge Saturday! You should add me so we can keep up with each others progress. This was a fantastic idea! Thank you so much
My results for the fit test:
PFT 1
1 mile: 12:00
5.0 mph.
Full push ups: 0
Half push ups: 10. lol
Squats: 127 (Before it started to burn and hurt. lol)
Plank: 70 seconds
Sit and Reach: 0 inches. I could only make it to the line.
Good luck! I believe in you. I hope you're still doing it! 0 -
@katiely95 YEAH! I'm starting week 3 and feel amazing -- finished my first HIIT/Strength workout without modifying!!
The end of week 2 I traded out a Pilates/HIIT workout for 20 mins on my elliptical (interval training setting) and a 7 min Pilates cool down video -- and I could tell when I was on the elliptical that my endurance was already improved!
We can definitely do this! So exciting!
I've been recording the low-range of calories burned in MFP. Now to get myself into a calorie deficit (I've set myself at 0.5 lb/week loss... and the last week I was at 2479 calories OVER my weekly goal including exercise calories -- so I should be showing a slight gain - ugh!) I've just been HUNGRY. As of this morning my weight is maintaining. I'm fine with a slow loss... but I want that loss!0 -
I have this program. I did it once and may do it again (once I get as far as I can with "Stronglifts"-- my weights don't go heavy enough to do a whole 12 weeks, I fear). Anyway, I work out with Fitness Blender all the time, so I didn't see massive changes, but I really liked knowing what to do each day. When I do it again, I want to journal specific notes about weights used and what I struggled with, so I can repeat certain workouts and have a gauge of progress. Good luck; I'll follow your thread! 0

Good idea about taking notes @determined_14!
The scale moved a little down this morning, and my curiosity got the better of me so I took a sneak peak at my measurements.... Down 0.5" on both my belly and hips (didn't measure bust)! I'll take that after 2 week! 0 -

151lbs
Bust: 39" (different bra)
Belly: 37" (2 fingers below navel)
Hips: 39.5" (I'd rather lose from my belly than my hips, agh!)
Of note: I only started taking diet seriously at the 2 week mark, so all weight lost is in last 2 weeks... At that time I also set my calorie goals for 0.5 lbs/week, so I've exceeded that. 0 -
