So... tonight when I laughed, suddenly my abs ached!!! So I am a touch nervous for ab ripper again tomorrow... lol. I thought I didn't work them hard enough because my abs were not sore today until... oh, about 9pm. Guess it's working! I hope everyone has GREAT workouts tomorrow!

Well, it's an impressive walk I've got going on today - chest still aching from Monday's work out and now *kitten* cheeks, calf muscles and quads are so sore ..... At least it's working ... right !!??!!??
Fingers crossed I can get day 3 out the way when the little one has his nap, otherwise it's going to be a VERY late one !!!0 -
Day 3 = DONE !!
Again, not the type of exercise I'm really after but I didn't find it hard - I alternated between the band and then tins of soup for the repeat ! xx
Ab Ripper DVD still skipping then turning itself off so not getting on great with that !!! GRRRRR.0 -
Day 3 done - and again the ab ripper x was a killer!!
On the plus side I had 12 hours sleep last night, which is unheard of!!
Good luck to the US ladies who have got the Day 3 torture to come! x0 -
I am glad that you agree ab ripper was hard
They make it look so easy!!!! I am pleased with myself for finishing three days in a row in their entirety! However, with all the running and the P90X I have been starving and thus eating more, so... we'll see if it results in shedding weight. I always remind myself about gaining muscle vs. losing flab... But it's not as gratifying as seeing the numbers tick away! Best of luck to everyone on Day 4!!! We rock 0 -
DONE! Wow, I really liked Day 3! I need heavier weights though, my mom and I have been taking turns with 2 lbs and 5 lbs. I'd like to have 8 lbs ones, and use 5 lbs for the harder ones. What weights (or vegetables lol) is everyone else using??
Ab ripper x... ugh!!! But I definitely could do more today than I could Monday! So yay for that!!!
Oh and I agree... I wish the scale would go down!! I'm just waiting another week or so to take measurements again... inches better be gone!0 -
I have been using 5lbs for everything. It has worked well. I am sore and it is difficult but I don't lose steam and can push through till the end of the video. I suppose at some point I will need to up that to 8lb or 10lbs... But, that might be a couple weeks! And, quite frankly, I would prefer to do more reps than build up weight. I want the lean tone looked not the "I can do more pushups than my boyfriend" look
Keep up the good work everyone!!!0 -
Hahahaha, I know what you mean. He said 12-15 reps for lean muscles and 8-10 for big muscles. But I can usually do like 25 with the 5 lbs, so I figure I need more weight. ;-)0
-
I want the lean tone looked not the "I can do more pushups than my boyfriend" look
HEHEHEHEHEHE that made me chuckle 0 -

That's why I'm alternating band / tins of soup as I already have a small top half and don't want to go for the madge look.
I will be working out later this evening when my boys are both asleep as don't have time during the day today. xx0 -
DAY 4, Yoga DONE .... but only just! I hated this dvd, urgh! Did anyone else get on with it? I can tell that Yoga days will be the one makes me wanna stop!0
-
I totally got my days mixed up and didn't realise I was jogging tonight - I am just back and am yet to start yoga - will do that once I have cooled down a bit !! I hear it is boring??? I can't be dealing with boring, I bore easily !!!!!!0
-
I hope it's not boring! I'll be doing it in a couple hours.0
-
hahaha... Glad you guys agree lean is the look to go for
90 minutes of yoga is a lot. When I did this video before I stopped at one hour and it wasn't really because I was exhausted but more just that I didn't want to do it anymore! If we can get in a groove then hopefully it will have positive mental effects too and that will keep us wanting to finish. I think this will be one to put my own music with once I get the routine... But I'll let you know how it goes after I am finished.
So how are you going to count today's yoga for calories burned? As Vinyasa Yoga or what? For me, when I log it as regular yoga it is only like 86 calories an hour... and when I do Vinyasa (which is flow yoga, I think) it is a whopping 574 an hour. Thoughts?
Keep up the good work everyone!!!0 -
WOW.
10:20pm and literally just finished Yoga, I'm in two minds - I started it thinking this is gunna be boring, it's not my cup of tea and 20mins later I was still thinking the same thing - repeat, repeat, repeat.
HOWEVER, I actually think I quite enjoyed it !!! I do think 1hour would be better than 1.5hours but I can't believe how much I sweated during the first section !!! Really opened my eyes to it and I would love to be able to extend / stretch further each time - again, I would enjoy it more if I get to see progress.
Not one I'll ever be able to get to do during the day though because of how long it takes !!!
I logged it as yoga - I think it was 187 calories burnt, or thereabouts and I even saw Tony(sp) in a different light !!!0 -
Hmmmm, I like it too! The first part was HARD, but I love love love yoga. Especially the stretching at the end, but I really don't like how he sneaked in ab work at the end! :grumble: I suppose it's all for the best.
We also did it at night, it was after midnight when we finished lol. (I had to pause it for a few minutes to nurse the baby back to sleep.) Anyway! It's a bit too long, but I think I'll enjoy doing it each week. :-)
Today is Legs & Back / Ab Ripper X. Goooood luck! :flowerforyou:
Edit: Oh and I logged it as Yoga (in the MFP database) and it said 302 calories burnt; that seems about right. I can't wait to get a HRM to see how many calories I actually burn during the strength days, because I don't know if I actually burn 500ish.0 -
Legs and Back + Ab Ripper X = DONE
I got jelly legs now lol - keep up the good work over the weekend ladies xx0 -
Whooop woo Day 5 Legs & Back DONE......as Tony would say, BRING IT!!
Felt much happier with todays workout (after yoga nightmare yesterday) and sweated loads.
Unfortunatley (ahem!) I'm going for chinese and beer tonight so I'll have to squeeze in an extra gym workout over the weekend.
Happy day 5 to you all 0 -
Can you guys believe we have done 5 in a row!? I am very impressed, with myself and all of you.
I thought legs/back & abs was rather satisfactory today. I realize part of this is because I run, and so I think my legs are my strong suit, but I also liked that things kept moving instead of repeating the sets. Perhaps, that makes me a wimp, but, regardless, I will look forward to leg days! Also, I didn't use ANY weights. I have a goal of 24 miles this week and I was afraid that since today is my "rest" day for running that I might over exert the muscles I am trying to let heal. It was plenty hard without weights though, so, I don't really feel like I cheated But again, maybe that's why I liked it!
I sincerely hope you enjoy every morsel of Chinese food and every sip of beer - that sounds so good right now I almost want to take the cauliflower crust pizza out of the oven and follow your lead! Temptress!
Hope everyone has a happy start to their weekend. I am excited for Kenpo!0 -
I also like how it didn't repeat! LOL! I think I did pretty well with this one; however, I don't think I did as well at the abs than I did on Wednesday. Still better than Monday though. ;-)
Kenpo today! I'm excited too!
Who's going to do X Stretch on Sunday? Personally, I can't wait! I looooooove stretches!0 -
Well done ladies, I have to admit, my legs are HURTING today and as I'm also doing C25K, I felt that my jog this morning was a little weaker than usual because of yesterday's work-out !! I won't be doing Kenpo until later this evening as I'm all showered and soon off out for the day.
I also like the fact it didn't repeat - again, I used the band and tins of spaghetti lol.
I'm not sure if I will do the stretch day or not - we won't have the boys Sun as my fella's Mum is looking after them for the day and so I intend to spend the day in a pub, supping pint after pint of beer !!!!
P.S. Do we never do the Cardio DVD whilst doing "classic"?0 -
Kempo - DONE deffo the most enjoyable today, although it shows how I have no coordination whatsoever !!!!0
-
Kenpo was super fun!! I was a bit slower than them, though. :-) Great job on Week 1, gals!
Oh and Leigh, I don't think we do... I think it's only used in the Doubles and Lean schedules.0 -
Week One DONE! The stretches felt soooo good. It's so long though, I can't see myself doing it every week.... hmm. We'll see.
Starting over tomorrow! Week 2 already!
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Flowers for all of you!0 -
I didn't do the stretch - what was it like?
I am so thankful for my rest day (wasn't due a jog either) as I was in quite a lot of main in my buttocks / backs of my legs !!! It's eased off slightly now though.
Again, I drank yesterday and am not feeling 100% but will still do the DVD tonight (after my jog) !! AGGHHHH.
ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz0 -
Soooooo did everyone do Monday's repeat? I just finished! I get better at the abs every time!
The stretch felt good... most of them have been in warm ups/cool downs and it was soooo long.
Leigh, don't push yourself too hard!!! :flowerforyou: Flower for your hard work!
