    wwalk - Let me know how it goes. I'm have another week of RIU before I get into BIU. Maybe it's not as bad as it looks? :noway:

    I just watched BIU to get an idea of what it was - OMG I'm skurred. It looks sooo very hard. I will need 4 weeks to get through it! I start it on Monday - ugh.

    Great! I am going to be doing BIU for the next 4 weeks as well and really focus on my eating. I am starting with The Extreme Fat Smash food plan and hopefully, it will work well with my wo plan. I am off to pp with BIU. How are you doing with it?

    TTYL...

    M~ Hey there! OK, so finally, no more work for me until Aug. 20. I am on my summer break and ready to crush this thing!:happy:

    I am off as well to pp with BIU...how long before you got to BIU. I should say it is just a little fast pace compared to RIU. The leg lifts are longer and yes! LONGer!!!:frown:

    I started BIU today. It is definitely a faster pace and I thought it was hard. I couldn''t do it all w/o stopping, especially those *^&%$! leg lifts. They are painful. I am going to start the 6 day express eating plan next week. I hope that will help shed a few lbs.

    M - how much did you end up losing during your 6 day express?

    Good for you! :happy:

    You are right that it is faster paced, but I promise that it does get a little easier every time you do it. I started BIU in the 2nd week and today I just started the 5th week (a light at the end of the tunnel) and I surprised myself with how many squats, lunges, and leg lifts I am now doing. I have now been able to get all the way down in the side crunch plie thing. However, something I still WILL NOT do is those darn jumping jacks, maybe one day?!?! I am a true believer in this program and it does work, as long as you fully commit yourself.

    Great job on your hard work.

    Peapod - I hope it gets easier. That is great you can do those side bends - they are hard. I find it harder to get motivated for BIU than I was for RIU. Maybe because I know this is for 4 more weeks. --sigh--.

    HOw are you logging this exercise?

    So I guess I do know why I am not as motivated its because I have not lost any weight or inches so far. GRRRR.

    Hey wwalke02,
    I am on my 4th week of SI6--I did one week of SIU, two weeks of RIU, and I'll finish the last three weeks with BIU. I haven't seen much weight loss yet, but I'm told by people who have done the program before that that's normal. I definitely feel stronger and look slimmer. I check in with people doing the same program on the Beach Body message boards, and you'll definitely get results, as long as the eating stays clean.

    Today I did my second BIU day, and oh god, those leg lifts! They kill me. But Debbie's butt keeps me inspired!

    Oh, and does anybody know how many calories are burned with RIU and BIU? I've been logging it here as high impact aerobics...but I want to make sure I'm not overestimating my calories because I tend to eat my workout calories and don't want to eat too many! I've searched but I can't really find a good estimate of calories burned for this program.

    How far are you with SI6? Remember that some people lose more by their 4th - 6th week. So, hang in there! I am on day 2 with BIU and just got it done. Also, you want to make sure your eating is clean. No junk or that will hinder weight loss big time.


    Kpp!:happy:

    It does get a little easier (somedays can be tougher than others). I also do 30 min. of My fitness coach on the WII, right after SI6 ( take a 15 min break between the two). I love MFc and I look forward to doing it everyday, so I tell myself that I just have to finish SI6, so I guess the WII is my reward everyday.

    But tonight I bought a one new pair of shorts in a size 10, have been wearing 14. This is another motivating factor to push me these last 10 days of SI6. Then I will start SI6 week 7 and Turbo Jam.

    I have been logging it as circuit training.

    You will, just hang in there. I have been seeing some good results, I have lost 6lbs and 11 inches total since I have started SI6.

    Good evening! Just wanted to share that I got BIU done. Yesterday I did doubles and tried working out with Yoga Booty ballet - Hip Hop and Abs in the Am and BIU at night. That was fun! My intention here is to add extra cardio if I have the energy and I enjoyed that extra wo. :happy:


    Slowly..the scale is moving!!! I am excited to continue on...3 more weeks of BIU!!! :tongue: Gotta love it!

    I am trying to finish my blog spot...stay tuned!

    Hi Tere07- Can you tell me the difference between SI6 and Chalean? Which do you like better? Did you see results from Chalean? I have heard a lot about it, but don't know much about it. Thanks.

    Hey gang! Wow, what a week! Half of our team (work) is in Novato and they were here this week for three days of planning meetings. So today was the first day I was able to workout since Monday as we had meeting Tuesday through Thursday from 8-6 and then events with the team in the evenings. I'm going to have to start SI6 over for missing so many days! Ugh. :sad:

    M- Im with you. I was so busy this week I didn't get to exercise either. I probably won't be able to until Monday again. I figured I would start over w/ BIU and do that for 4 weeks.:mad: Good luck!

    These two wo are my best so far... SI6, it is sorta repetitive- same wo daily, but delivers results quick! Right now, I am on my last day week 1 BIU, and out of curiosity, I measured where the rib part is that, I already lost 1"!:love: Happy, and I think that with when we eat right and pp, we will see results. I am just happy, I will do the final weigh after the 4th week though and then Chalean here I come for round 2.

    With CE, you have 3 different phases of wo each month. Chalene recommends using heavy weights and the wo are about 35 mins long. So, they are not tooo long and they are challenging. The strength training sessions on them are lifting as much heavy weight as you can and slow moves. So, you really wo he muscles.

    With CE, I noticed that I lost inches and a few lbs; muscles started to form. It is great wo and I don't get bored with it. The cardio is really great as well bec. it really gets your heart rate up there even with the intervals. When I did CE, I wasn't really that focused on my eating and had once in a while cheats...This time around I will try and follow the eating plan. It does come with it and real easy to prepare. I also got stronger maybe that's why after I did 1 round of CE, and wanted to do SI6, I jumped on BIU right away and was ok with it. When I do BIU pushups, I do some regular and then go to my kness. I couldn't even do those regula push-ups before.


    Both are great wo to have! I will be pp soon with BIU and ttys...

    Take care! Tere

    Jump right in! Are you on RIU or BIU? You don't have to go back to SIU. We are here for you and you'll feel good after your wo.

    I was still on RIU. I only did SIU for 2 or 3 days. So I'll definitely plunge right back in with RIU. I'm so tired from the week though. Completely got off track with my sleep schedule, meal schedule, everything. Today I'm draggin' my behind... even had to take a nap already today after my first workout. :laugh:

    T - congrats on the loss already! You're my idol! :bigsmile:

    M~ Awwww thanks! :smile: I think bec as you said the sleep and meal schedule that kind of threw you from your wo schedule. I just got BIU done and happy to say week is done! Tomorrow is rest day and can't wait. I need to maybe just stretch and do abs. Off to drink my shake!

    TTYL.

    Can I jump in? This is my fifth week of SI6. I'm at the BIU phase and really hitting it hard. I've lost 25lbs so far (but I have a lot to lose). I am adding 20mins of Turbo Jam in the am to get my heart rate up and work on my abs. I used this program to lose 80 lbs from my first daughter's pregnancy. I have triplets now so I've got a lot more than 80 to lose:embarassed: After this I am doing Turbo Jam for six weeks. Then my DH and I will be doing P90X. Beachbody rocks!!!!!

    Oh, I'm doing the 6 day express diet too. I have a terrible headache tonight. I'm doing plan 2 and according to myfitnesspal I am in the negative calorie range for the past four days. I'm not hungry at all though. Can't wait to hear all of your results.

    Happy Tuesday!

    I got BIU done yesterday and really felt like I didn't want to PP. I guess bec. I had a rest day Sunday. But, I am glad I pushed through...:happy: I am ready to pp again with BIU later this afternoon.YEAY!!!!

    OK, so, I have about 3 more weeks of BIU and can't wait to see what results I will get this time around. I know for sure there is progress..I can see it when I wear my clothes now.

    How are you all doing with SI6??? Please do share some results if you are done.

    TTYS...Tere

    So I have to admit, I haven't gotten back on the SI6 wagon since all of my meetings last week. I am still working out every day and watching my food intake and, therefore, still seeing results... I've lost 9 pounds in a little over two weeks. But I'm postponing really getting into the SI6 program until I get back from Vegas the July 4 weekend as I'll be gone from July 2-6.

    M~ Wow, Vegas!:happy: That should be fun!!! I will be gone this Fri and Sat. We are going on a trip to Lake Tahoe and we rented a cabin there. It will be fun coz My two sis, their family and an aunt with her family are all going. We also planned out what type of foods to bring and cook, so sorta like a family outing. Should be interesting.

    I did get BIU done today again, and for some odd reason, I was sooo hungry after my wo. Then, later on today, I took a nap coz I am just tired. OK, I guess just too much work at home. I have been busy doing laundry, cleaning out kids closet and bathrooms.

    Gotta go..take care!

    Good luck with the 6-day express! It was tough, but I definitely saw results... it was just what I needed to kick-start my weight loss! Stick with it... you'll be glad you did! Just keep telling yourself, "It's only for six days!"

    T - Have fun in Tahoe! Sounds fun! Let's touch base after the July 4th holiday!

    Take care everyone!
