Ok, so I am starting a challenge to get our *kitten* in shape... LITERALLY!!! any of you who have on demand through Comcast could join in.. or if you can purchase Pauline Nordin's dvd :-) her butt bible program is designed to kick your butt into gear and help you get that sexy fit butt you have always wanted. it is a 6 wk program and below i have posted a link to her printable butt bible schedule :-)

I had started her program a few weeks ago but had to stop due to an injury (unrelated to the workout) I am ready to get it started again and get a firm fit booty.(before having to stop the program i was already seeing results) If you want to follow my progress I will be posting blogs every week to let you know of my progress :-)

    I'm on week 7 of 8 of Turbo Jam and wanted to add resistance work to my second round. Turbo Jam is great for cardio and the core, but it's a little light on upper and lower body resistance training. I also own Brazil Butt Lift and was going to do a hybrid, but then I heard about Butt Bible and decided to check it out since I get Exercise TV and it would cost me nothing. I was delighted to find out that it includes workouts for the upper body as well.

    I"ve now decided to do a Turbo Jam/Butt Bible hybrid. The length of the BB workouts along with it filling in just the gaps that I need make it a perfect fit. I won't be starting until the 15th, but I'm excited already.

    hello everyone! Hope all is well. I have just started the butt bible on 8/7! I'm excited, her butt looks just like mine did 2 years ago and I want my perfect tail back! lol I normall do Billy Blanks bootcamp, but I wasn't feeling strong enough for his stuff so I viewed Paulina Nordins stuff and I thought she was funny and her upper and lower butt bible part 1 "looked" easy! I can't wait to be on week six so I can move onto part 2 and thhen 3. The only issue I have with it is I don't sweat as much as I do when I do Billy BlanksBoot camp, which worries me. With his workouts I feel the burn and after 30 minutes I look like I have gone swimming! I can feel the results with the Butt bible, just no big sweat.. Should I add some cardio to my workout or is the Butt Bible enough? I eat at least 5 servings a veggies and fruits a day and tons of water. I learned years ago that a clean food burns off clean. Any advise?

    I thought that about BB upper lvl 1, its seems kind of easy to me as well. I increased my hand weights from 2lbs to 3, I don't want to over do it since I just got started. But I think the one pound increase made a little difference.

    I thought I posted this so sorry if its a repeat.

    Ok so I began my Butt Bible 6 week program on 8/7 and yesterday 8/14 began my 2nd week. I took my measurements on 8/9 just for kicks. My Bust was 38, Waist 39 and Hips 44. Yesterday I measured myself just for kicks and after just one week of Butt Bible I lost one inch in all three of those areas!!! My poor girls are always the first to go once I start woking out. God only gave me a nice butt, no matching chest (unless I gain weight but I haven't figured out how to keep the big girls with the matching butt without all the other stuff). Now being 37, 38, 43 I still can't find jeans that don't give me a painful muffin top, but who cares, at this rate within 2 months I WILL be able to!! :happy:

    But I'm SOOOO happy that I decided to do the Butt Bible program! I can't wait until week 3 when I get to lvl 2!!

    Just started level two today....It did the job. She kicked up more than one notch. It was a great calorie burn. I would suggesting pacing yourself . She is doing three reps this time and does not do as much circuit or alternating exercises. A ton more lunges, that I found difficult, but I have a bad ankle. Just as funny and just as kick a**!

    I watched the video before I did it. I found it helped me get through it easier!

    How did I miss this thread?! I have been doing BB for 6 weeks now. I am taking about 3 weeks per level since I was really out of shape, and Upper Level 2 wasn't working for a while on Exercise TV. Next week I may start Level 3 if I feel strong enough. It's 40 min. each though, and she definitely ups the intensity each level.

    She is so funny though, and her comments definitely make the workouts more enjoyable. I loved the comment about the "...flabby yoga butt. It's an epedimic." I laughed so hard.

    How heavy are the weights you use? I have been using 3 lb weights.

    I started with Level 1 Lower yesterday and though I *really* felt it while I was doing it (I wanted to cry at some points), I'm not sore today. Curious. Maybe my lower body is in better shape than I give it credit for.

    I'm using it along with my second round of Turbo Jam as a hybrid program and I'm very interested to see what kind of results I'll get between the two in the next few weeks.

    i started the butt bible on 8/10/11 and it is a kick*** workout. How many times a week are you guys doing it? i read somwhere that you should do your cardio also a few times a week. so i been doing an hour cardio at the gym(eliptical & bike) a few times a week because i need to lose weight as well as tone my big butt!


    My beginning weight 165ibs(July 21 b4 i found butt bible)
    My current weight 160
    My first goal weight 150
    My final 135- 140 or whatever makes me size 8. (i now muscle weighs more than fat)

    Hey, I'm so glad to see others on this chat now! There is a link in the first comment that has a workout and meal plan and I go by those. I mix up my days sometimes, but I do the BB 4 times a week and cardio 2 times a week and lounge around for one day. I'm still in lvl 1 and yes I do wish I didn't have these heavy leggs! When Ifirst heard her say that I had to focus to stop laughing because I was thinking it right before she said it! lol Soon my legs will not be so heavy. Hopefully after 4 more weeks of treating my butt like royalty.

    Oh I use 3lb weights. But I wonder if in lvl 2 is she using and 1lb and and 5lbs, or a 0.5lb and a 3lbs? I want to make sure I'm prepared for my next step on sunday! I still find it funny that I pop out of bed and rush to workout. I missed those days.

    lvl 2 is a stretch for me. But its worth it. I use a 1lb and 3lbs for the routine. I think they may only use a .5 bumbell for some of the shoulder work. Unlike lvl1 I can really feel the excersie on the upper body portion this go round! The pushups still kick my butt. Good luck

    I have been doing level 2 for a couple weeks, and the Lower 2 isn't pushing me enough. I am probably going to move up to Lower 3 next week. But Upper 2... That kills me! I have always had weeker arms though. I cannot finish the pushups yet. When you move your arms closer together, I shake a lot. I may be staying on this level for a while.

    I am doing 4 workouts a week: 2 Upper & 2 Lower. I am not doing the cardio unless chasing children counts!

    I'm following the schedule that comes with the plan and using it parallel to Turbo Jam. Today, it will be the Turbo Jam 20 Minute Workout followed by BB Lower 1. I'm looking forward to sweating buckets.

    I did the Level 1 upper and experienced the same thing that I did with the lower. The workout itself was a killer. I"m still having nightmares about that swimming move that's done on the floor. But still, I didn't have any soreness the next day. I'm using five pounders, which honestly aren't much of a challenge for me, but I still felt the exercises as I was doing them. I had recently started using 8s, but I pinched a nerve in my shoulder and am trying to take it easy until the feeling in my left arm goes back to normal. It's frustrating.

    *kitten* to the grass, ladies! Keep it coming!

    Haha.. I love the butt bible! I'm on week 3, and the switch to level 2 is SO hard! I have never felt like this after a workout, but I have no doubts that it's working!!

    Does anyone know what you're supposed to do after the 6 weeks? Is maintenance easier than building muscle from scratch?
  • KimAggie04

    My plan is to keep doing the program until it is either too easy (after adding heavier weights) or I am bored with it. Then I want to switch to a harder program, like ChaLean Extreme.

    I don't know what to do when it's over, either! I'm on week 2 of Level 2. It's hard, so I might do an extra week here (not sure) but I will finish it it the next month. I was going to perhaps do another fitness routine and then go back and just repeat Levels 2 and 3 of Butt Bible???

    This past Friday, I did Turbo Jam's Cardio Party (40 minutes) followed by BB L1 Upper. It was awesome! My exercise top looked like I'd taken a shower in it.

    I am definitely seeing results in my legs and butt and my arms and shoulders as well.

    I was doing it on OnDemand, but it looks like it will be gone in September. Anyone know?

    Probably not. Comcast gives all of the workouts a drop dead date each month, but most don't go away when the date comes. I have a feeling it may depend on the popularity of the workout. 30 Day Shred and the 10 Pound Slimdown have been there since I discovered Exercise TV On Demand in June of last year. Crunch Gym has been there since December or January and Lose Weight in 8 since April. All of them have been given a new expiration date each month and there are a bunch more that seem to stick around indefinitely.

    Butt Bible had an August 8th expiration date in July, but they just rolled it over, so I'm guessing it's just going to roll over again. With all that being said, I'm going to err on the side of caution and tape Level 3 just in case it doesn't. :)

    I started Level 2 yesterday. I didn't think I would be able to walk today, but I'm not that sore. Again, I think my lower body is more fit than I give it credit for. The workout is killer while I'm doing it, but I only feel it a little the next day.

    The only part that I didn't like are the squats that have to be done while holding dumbbells on the shoulders. It really hurt my neck and I'm trying to think of a way to modify it.

    I watched the Level 3 workouts. Boy, howdy! She's insane.

    There's an unweighted barbell used in Level 3, but I don't have one of those. Any ideas for substitutions?
