Hey gals, I just finished posting in my P90X thread. Rather than rehash what I wrote there, I'm going to copy and paste the bulk of it. I know, I'm lazy, but heck, I'm busy and that's more efficient. Here goes:

Well, I'm done. Today was Day 90, but I ended up skipping my last and final Yoga X. Funny, it's the only day of the whole P90X I've scrapped, but I feel good that I accomplished what I set out to do. Man, I'm pooped!

I thought before that alternating between P90X and Slim in 6/Slim Series was good for me, because I get the upper-body focus I need from X and the lower-body focus I need from SI6/SS. I think I was on the right track, but I end up losing too much of my good results from either one when I spend a ton of time on the other, so I'm going to combine the two into a hybrid rather than alternate between them.

I did, however, work out today. My BB coach and good friend loaned me some DVDs to try out from the oldie, but goodie, Great Body Guaranteed series. I did Great Abs Guaranteed, Great Buns Guaranteed, Great Arms Guaranteed, and Thin Thighs Guaranteed. They're pretty impressive for how short they are. There's no warm-up or cool-down, so one should probably do their own version of each (of course, I didn't). The abs one was really good. I think it rivals my favorite ab workout, Slim & 6-Pack, and the nice thing is that the entire series is only $25. The other workouts were OK, but I wouldn't want to replace my regular workouts with them because of the lack of cardio, and I need my heart-pumping, fat-burning exercise too. But I think it's worth the price just for the ab workout, and the others might come in handy when you have only a few minutes and want to at least get something in.

OK, that's the end of my copy and paste. This next part is original. LOL.

Scoobees, I am so sorry to hear you reinjured your knee. Next time, you need to follow your doctor's instructions, OK? Sheesh. I hope you heal very quickly and are able to do some kind of a workout soon.

All right, it's time for me to go do something productive — like a little housework or something. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hi Jill & Callie :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the well wishes on the knee. I think the worst part about it all is that of course I knew better - and did it anyway. :ohwell: I always lie to myself and say I will modify, but don't.

Lots of time on my hands right now to think up another exercise plan. I figured I'd be spending all this year w/CJ and now it's back to the drawing board. It just seems like all my other options suck all the fun out of exercise. Yes, I have a bike and elliptical here at home, entire olympic bench/weight set, lots of low impact (snooze :laugh: ) dvds, a gym membership, etc...but I want me some TF! :sad:

I hope this is the last time I need to learn this lesson. I know my joints cannot do high impact exercises; I need to deal with it and move on.

On the plus side, I did go for a walk (totally slow strolling!!) and it felt nice to be out in the sun & air. I wore my brace and it felt pretty good! It just felt great to DO something I guess.

Again, thanks for rooting for me! :drinker:

Hey!

I just started the Slim in 6 program on the 1st of May and would love to have a buddy or two to keep me accountable.

Let me know if any of you are interested in being buddies! I am motivated to get and keep myself in shape.

This is my second round of Slim in 6. I used it about 2 years ago and dropped weight but more importantly, I looked toned! Then life changes happened, and I'm worse than I was then. I like the program and I've started it again. (the weight I gained was due to my eating habits and how I completely stopped working out)

Anyway, today is my 3rd day of Ramp it Up. I started Start It Up last week but wasn't consistent. I've actually started my 6-week countdown when I started RIU. Day 1, 5/17/11.

I'm in it with you!

Hi, has anyone else started doing Slim in 6 recently? I just restarted again today and did Start It Up. I did it for a week earlier this summer and then quit, so I would like some buddies to help keep me accountable.

hello everyone!!! i know i'm so late on this topic, but does anyone know how many calories are burned doing the cardio core express workout? also, does anyone have a GOOD regimen with the slim in 6 dvds that worked for toning and weight loss. i can't shake this baby fat :explode: :sad: thanks!!

Hi Everyone! Today is day 1 of Slim in 6 for me (I'm tracking my nutrition and fitness through here as well, I think I prefer MFP's tracker for my food more. Anyway, I'm really trying to slim and tone a lot over the next 6 weeks. I turn 40 in 7 1/2 weeks and would be thrilled to look better on my 40th bday than today!!! Anyone know how I can enter that workout into my workout tracker here on MFP?

Will dust off the Slimn6 series and join you. I need more cardio so I will probably do a hybrid version as well. Love that Debbie! She is so encouraging! :happy:
