    The rules are in the post dated Mon 03/26/12 10:30 PM.

    Yes, you are allowed to do a EASA2 Custom workout for this Event.

    Here is how to find and measure your waist.

  • Thanks for the link to the waist measurement Jac. I got a correct reading now.
    I just finished up #10 of Cardio Kickstart on medium.... I am going to stay with it since I am really beginning to see some results with my heart rate coming down. I have a really high resting heart rate and I am looking forward to getting that brought down alot more. Heart Disease runs in my famiy and I hope to gain control of my health before it controls me!

    Since there are only 12 levels of the Cardio Kickstart I will finish up the medium level... go right into the Hard and then transition into a 9wk program from there.
    Will that be okay for the challenge?

    Smiles, Heather

    So, I went to that waist website and it tells you to lean to the side to find your natural waist. That puts it at the dullest point on my torso... Is this correct? It is quite a few inches above my belly button, so I wasn't sure???

    Doing the 9 week medium program and walking. This will be my first time through medium so we shall see how it goes. I am through the first workout so far. Not so bad but I am sure they will ramp it up pretty quick.

    Welcome to the group and welcome to the challenge.

    Just a reminder (and if you scrolled this thread you probably know) you need to have a 3wk, 9wk or Custom EASA2 workout starting or in progress for the challenge.

    Have fun and welcome. And I hope you brought some extra motivation. I know I need some. :smile:

    I just finished my first week of the 9wk medium program. I think I am in for hurtin'.:smile: But it will be a good kind of hurt... I hope.

    So I have about a week and a half left on my 9 week program. I am also planning to start the 30 days shred soon... After my 9 week program is over and I start a different routine through ea active I don't want it to be as hard as these past few weeks... Phase 3 of medium is kicking my *kitten*. Past few workouts have been about 45 minutes and burning over 300 calories. I plan to customize workouts and alternate upper and lower body target 4 days a week. But I will also be doing the 30 day shred which is about 20 minutes a day. So do you think doing just 20 minute workouts would be good or should I make them longer on the ea active? I don't want to kill myself, but I don't want to let myself off the hook either! Thanks for an opinion!

    I would say it takes me about an hour and 15 to do these... Between the loading of the new exercises and when I need to stop and breathe for a moment! I am looking forward to this being done so I can do a few weeks of exercises that don't take my daughter's entire nap time from me...

    It sounds like you have good workout planned between the 30day and the EASA. If you feel like you can go longer on EASA then maybe make it a 30min workout. Also if you use weights maybe increase the resistance instead of increase the length of the workout.
    Great job sticking with it.
    Have a hoppy Easter.:wink:
