I like 30 day shred, but there are a good amount of lunges. Just an FYI since you commented on lunges not working too well for you. I burn over 300 calories (use a HRM) doing 6 week 6 pick abs. That wasn't on your list. But if the objective is calorie burning, you should try it out!

I just took a scroll through my medals and realized that since mid January I have done 90 workouts! I need 10 more for another medal! Also, there are a handful of medals I haven't gotten yet, so lookout for my workouts to all consist of very specific activities! I think it said I have 71/88 medals. How many do you guys…

I've done all but the last workout for this week, all great! Just haven't had as much effort to post when finished this week... "Core Cracker" was just now and it was great! BUT "reverse crunches" is NOT a cool down! :-) I added on a bit more cardio at the end just to get me goin a bit more...

Anyone?

Can you exercise at home those nights so that you cut out the travel time? Jillian michaels has some intense workouts that are only about a half hour. Most are designed to be done daily, but still burn calories if done every so often... 6 week to 6 pack abs doesn't have any jumping, so may be the easiest one to not disturb…

I did this one today and think I am finally doing the crunches with puces properly. My belly feels nice and worked! Jac, looks like we both are fan of boxing, moutainboarding and mountain biking! I don't know if I love the mountainboarding and biking, but I know can feel them working!

I am planning to get a tattoo when I reach my goal, but it will represent my family, not my weightloss. . . But to represent the weightloss, I am getting it on the side of my torso... A place that I would NEVER have showed someone when I was at my max weight. I want to be comfortable lifting my shirt to show the tattoo.

It doesn't seem to me like she wants her son to "weight train", just that he wants to mimick her. I don't weight train, but many of my workouts require a few reps of various things. So my daughter, when she is interested (she is 2) will pick up "her" weights and follow along. They weigh 1.5 pounds. She does a few with me,…

Thank you!

So gentlemen... What do we do now? Do we wait a week to see if others will join in? Each make up a few? Drop it? I had fun this week and would live to keep it up, but don't want to be a pain in the *kitten* since there seems to be only 4 of us...

I did the girly version of this.... 5 pound weights Easy setting But I was scared! And it was 8pm and I am usually a morning workout person! But I enjoyed it and think that I will move up to medium when I do it again. I am thinking this could be a good sat or sun workout for me. I try not to do too much on the weekends to…

I did this one today! I loved how different it was from everything else I do! And it was a lot like a Jillian michaels workout where she has you standing and then on the mat and back and forth a lot! EA calorie burn: 113 HRM calorie burn: 263

I'm looking forward to this! Can you get it up here by Friday morning so it can be this weeks 5th workout?

Did this one today... EA Active said I burnt 161, HRM said 263. (I did have to stop partway through to help my little lady in the bathroom though...)

SW: 162 June 30 GW: 159 NS Goal: Burn 200-300 calories on Saturdays and Sundays (my non workout days) I have been stuck at 162 for 3 weigh ins now... I changed my workouts last week and was SUPER sore, but still no weightless. Hopefully I can get into the 150's this month though!

Do you have your heartrate monitor set properly? Most of them you can set your max heartrate... I took the highest I have ever seen it and added 5 to get mine. And if I ever get to it I will add 5 again. My HRM came with a max heartrate of 200, so it thought when I was exercising at 160 that I wasn't working to my…

Just finished this one! I did cut out the good mornings because I completely hate them... But anyways, I wear a polar heart rate monitor so I thought I would show you my comparison of calories burned... The game told me that I burned 145 calories, but my HRM told me I burned 260. Anyone else wear a HRM for this workout and…

I was just under 200 at the time, so I wrote down 180. Now I am almost 160! So nice to think that the next time I renew my license there will be such a big difference to make!

Congrats! It sounds like you have made some great discoveries! My husband tells me that I am my best doctor with all the research I do! I had to search online for a doctor that would prescribe armour thyroid (found some review comments mentioning other people's prescriptions). Even once I was on it, I went back and told…

I want for my daughter to learn good habits from me so she won't have to live the first half of her life feeling out of place like her mother did...

I just finished week one, tomorrow will start week 2. I was CRAZY sore after the first day, but then after a day or two was back to normal. I really wasn't expecting to be sore since I have been doing so many different exercises in the past months, but my butt, back and quads were soooo sore! Aimee- I don't think it's…

Thanks! I have ordered a protein shake to start drinking after my workout. It just took me a bit longer to find a gluten free soy free one...

I guess I'll throw a handful of almonds in with each meal on these high exercise days. I try my best not to snack, but I can probably just make each meal slightly bigger with the almonds.

I don't use low fat anything except mayonnaise. My biggest problem with calories is that I am gluten free due to an intolerance and I hate most of the substitutes and so it really cuts out a lot of what I can/want to eat each day.

I actually just ordered a protein shake to start drinking after my workouts . It just took me a while because I had to find gluten free soy free. But I will probably get this for next week...

I do have a polar HRM and have gone through the message board that helps me calculate my "real" age and all that jazz. I m not losing that much each week either, some weeks 2 pounds, some none, some up .5 or so. I have been exercising since January, but this week I added in a new DVD that burns though the calories faster...

I did day 2 today! Have you started yet?
