I bumped my weights up today and I definitely felt it. My arms are still a little shaky. I kept forgetting to take my measurements every morning before working out so I finally did that this morning. So I'm not sure of my week 1 results as I didn't measure until today. My weight hasn't dropped but that is typical for me when starting a new program.
I hope everyone had a fantastic first week!
I bet you're so excited to be done with week one! 54 minutes seems so long lol but I really like ab workouts so I'm sure it will be great regardless

I'm going to keep my rest days on Fridays and weigh and measure myself in Saturday's! So far I have lost 1.2 lbs and 4.5 inches! So excited to keep pushing forward and see the changes this program will make in my body over the next 7 weeks!
Wow that's fantastic! 4.5 inches is great. Great job!0 -
Is anyone actually using the portion control containers? Today is the first day I actually looked at the containers and plan. To me, simply measuring my food seems easier so I was curious if anyone is using them and what they think. I can see a benefit to the smaller containers for things like dressings and cheeses as I think most of us tend to use more than we should but I've measured my food for so long its second nature to me.0

Just finished Chisel Endurance. I am covered in sweat and my legs and hips are killing me from stepping up and down onto the bench! Lol I will definitely be feeling it tomorrow! As of right now I like the chisel workouts way more than the hammer ones. It's still the beginning though so maybe I will like them more as the days progress. This tomorrow is total body hammer and 10 minute ab hammer. A little nervous about how long that will be I'm sure I'll be dead afterwards lol hope everyone has had a good first week! 0

@Lesly_Barrett_1209 Wow fantastic week 1 results!! You are doing amazing! Good luck tomorrow, I am feeling that workout this evening. I really enjoyed the ab workout actually. I'm looking forward to that rest day tomorrow.
@mj4567 I don't use the containers. I agree with you I think it's much easier (and more accurate) to just measure with a food scale. I doubt I'll every try the containers for that reason0 -
Week 1 complete!! such a good feeling! My shoulders are on fire! Lol I liked both of these hammer workouts better than the others I have done so far. The pyramid about killed me though especially on the military presses! All in all another great workout in the books! Hope you are all enjoying your Sunday! 0

Saturday was my rest day. Sunday I headed to my basement home gym to do speed hammer and found my basement had flooded. What a mess. So I grabbed a P90x workout and did it in my living room since I wasn't sure what Speed Hammer was or what I needed. Hoping tonight I will get it completed. Still good and sore from p90x today. Plus a 3 mile walk Saturday gave me shin splints?! Lol. I guess I haven't walked on a paved surface in some time. Probably could also use new shoes 0

Congrats! That's awesome! Can't wait to try them

Happy Monday everyone! Week 2 started today for me with Chisel Cardio. Phew, that was the hardest so far in my opinion. Totally kicked my butt. I played hooky from work today to spend some extra time with the hubby. We got our workouts in so time to shower, go get something to eat then snuggle up with some movies for the rest of this cold day. Hope you all have an awesome day!0

I love the Chisel workouts. I have Chisel Cardio today as well. Can't believe we are already on week 2!
Have fun playing hooky! 0 -

Hope the program is going great for everyone! The hubby and I chose Tuesdays as our rest days since we both have classes on Tuesdays starting next week. Will be interesting fitting this program in with a full-time job and school 3 days a week.... and a 1 year old. Oh boy, good thing I LOVEEEE this program so far

Yes! That workout was killer!!0 -
This morning was Max Hammer Strength and my legs are feeling it tonight. It is snowy, icy and freezing cold here tonight so it's time for a warm coffee and a good book. I hope you all had an awesome day!0

Whew Chisel Agility was tiring. I wasn't able to give it as much effort as I would have liked though. I've been walking the stairs at work with a coworker and my calves are killing me and for some reason my right knee is hurting when I walk down stairs today. So I'm going to give those a rest tomorrow and just focus on the workout at home. Hope everyone is doing well and has a great rest of their evening! I'm off to bed! 0

Forgot to post this morning
Today was Chisel Agility. I agree @Lesly_Barrett_1209 that was tiring. I had to do a lot of modifications on this one because of all the jumping. Especially the spinning squats. My knees can't handle all the jumps. Hope everyone had a good day! 0 -

My knees are bad with all of the jumps too, so I find myself modifying a lot as well. Doesn't mean we aren't still kicking butt!0 -
Finally finished week one! I'm really enjoying the variety in this program. Total body hammer was so good. I did go a little too heavy a couple times. I didn't do the abs because I got home late and didn't want to make my family wait any longer for dinner. I'll add abs tonight which looks like cardio which is my least favorite kind of exercise. Lol.0

@l0velife1 I totally agree, we are still totally kicking butt
@mj4567 Congrats on finishing week 1! I really like the variety too. I'm not finding myself getting bored at all
Today was Hammer Power for me and I was very close to bailing on it, but I gave myself a little pep talk and got it done. Ended up being one of my favorite workouts too. Only 2 more workouts left for week 2 for me. Is it rest day yet lol. Hope you're all having an awesome week!0 -
Tammy_Christopher wrote: »Day 2 done. Today's workout is only 25 minutes which made me think "oh this won't be too bad". However my already sore muscles are saying otherwise lol. I had to modify a few things as I do not have a pull up bar or the cords. I also had to modify a couple of the jumps as I have really bad knees. Luckily they were similar to some of the moves I've done in other programs so I knew good alternatives. Another great workout in the books, good luck to everyone today!
PS. Am I the only one that found Sagi super annoying lol
Haha Sagi annoys me! I like Autumn way better!0 -
Just wondering if all of you use all the equipment in the workouts or modify. I don't do pull ups. I use the resistance band. I also don't use the bench. I have one but it's older and wobbly. I do have a step bench. I was a step aerobics instructor back in the day. Does anyone even know what that is anymore? Lol. Anyway. It works ok for the step up things. I just lie on the floor for flies and chest presses.
I do have selectech weights which are very handy in these workouts.0 -

I also lie on the floor for flies and chest presses. I have sat on one of my kitchen chairs for military presses and the step ups. And I use resistance bands that are attached to my bathroom door. I have tried using the ball. I either need to air it up more or strengthen my core more because I about die every time I try to use it lol0 -
I do a lot of modifications too as I don't have a stable bench, I also don't have pull up bars. @mj4567 I have selectech's too, they are great since it's so easy to change weights.
I missed Friday's workout because I came down with a horrible migraine that took me out all day and into Saturday. So I used Saturday as my rest day and did a double today to make up for Friday. Phew I hope I don't have to do a double of this program again, I whooped! Week 2 is now all done. Looking forward to doing my measurements tomorrow morning to see where I am. I hope everyone had an amazing weekend!0 -
Alright guys. I struggled last week. I had a cold and worked more than I usually do at my job. I was so exhausted that I missed a couple days. Getting my head back in the game for week three and going to try and add in the workouts I missed for week 2 here and there. For the first 2 weeks I have lost 3.4 lbs and 5.75 inches. I still think that is pretty good, especially with missing a couple days. So I'm not going to let myself get discouraged Hope everyone has a great start to their week and @Tammy_Christopher, Hope you feel better!! 0

I'm using today as a rest day. I've logged 9 straight workouts. I don't want a rest day but I know I need one. I'm really enjoying this program. Have a great day 0
