I second the adjustable weights. I finally invested in a pair of Select Techs and it has to be the single best piece of workout equipment I've ever bought. I use them for chalean extreme and it's working fantastically for me. I know they can be expensive, but wait for sales. Got mine onsale at Amazon.

This looks awesome. I'm on week 4 of another 12 week program but I think I will make this my next one. Great find OP!

Insanity pure cardio.

I'm currently doing Chalean, and you must have really never done this program. I'm currently in the "push" phase and the whole point of the push phase is to LIFT HEAVY so that you fail at 6-8 reps. The other phases have you fail at 10-12 reps. The whole motto of the series is "lift heavy or go home". I have to use the…

P90x made me feel like I was going to throw up. Insanity actually made me throw up. Until I invested in a heart rate monitor and realized I was working my body too hard. Pace yourself. The way most of the p90x Dvds (with the exception of legs/back and the cardio workouts) are structured, there is a clear halfway point. I…

I have an app on my android of a program called you are your own gym, it was free too and has the whole program without having to buy the book. http://www.marklauren.com/ I would look up any workouts that emphasize body weight training. It's possible! Good luck.

Why don't you offer to make the broccoli casserole and bring dessert? Cooking light has a great broccoli casserole http://www.cookinglight.com/eating-smart/recipe-makeovers/lighten-up-better-broccoli-casserole-00400000001134/ or maybe you can bring the green bean casserole…

Freaking cute dog by the way! I own a mutt too. There's definitely shepherd in there, mine is a shepherd/rottweiler mix and yours has the markings.

German shepherd, pit bull, beagle

Cliffy94- that genuine smile

nice legs

You have a really bad attitude and I'm sure that comes through at interviews. People here gave you tons of great advice, I offered you my professional expertise among others. So at this point, I'm just hearing wah wah wah....Poor me....Get over yourself. So many people are so much worse off than you. Some people can't…

You said "certificiate in business management". That just means you took some classes on the side and earned a useless sheet of paper in addition to your degree. ListenI'm not trying to be mean and I'm sorry if I come out harsh. I really am trying to help but I don't always use the softest language and I apologize. I used…

BA in English? No wonder....What was your endgame plan? Because it's probably going to take more schooling. To teach you're going to need an M.A, for creative writing an MFA. Editorial job? Experience probably doing exactly the mind numbing thing that you are doing now. But you're being intentionally vague for who knows…

You seem to have a response for everything that seems to blame everyone else: management, the economy...etc. Take a look at yourself and reassess where you want to be. If you are even applying at Wendy's then you probably have no focus and that comes through at interviews and in your resume. What percentage of your resume…

So you graduated nearly a year ago? Got a full time job 3 months after graduation and think you are "underemployed" Honey, you're fresh meat. In this economy you are competing with out of work adults who have more years work experience than you've probably been alive. A college education guarantees you nothing and so many…

This one's long but I laugh EVERY.SINGLE.TIME: “If we were in the wild, I would attack you. Even if you weren’t in my food chain, I would go out of my way to attack you! If I were a lion and you were a tuna, I’d swim out in the middle of the ocean and freakin EAT YOU! And then I’d bang your tuna girlfriend.” “Ok, first…

I noticed increased flexibility and I did lose a few inches from doing it for 3 weeks. I have "exercise ADD" and rotated it out after 3 weeks, but I am sure if I stick to a full 12 week program, I would have amazing results. I saw a world of difference in my stomach area and my arms of all places.

Hey, I have DDP Yoga too. I haven't done it in a while because I rotate my programs. The best tip I can give you for the "dynamic resistance" is really to use a heart rate monitor to make sure you are staying in the aerobic zone. Secondly, form is key, review the Diamond Dozen and really get the form down pat for the best…

Holy crap you rock!!! the butt bible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcNxaXb5Ews That's level 1 lower body. just follow the links for the whole program

I do keep my legs close together, tomorrow I will take your tip. Thanks! That's the only exercise still giving me trouble. I actually figured out that ab hold into table thing is doable if I position my hands a certain way.

Now I'm scared.....Day 3 level 2 tonight. I've been spreading it out because of fatigue and soreness. Any of you have tips for the renegade rows? Holy crap I suck at those. I modify on my knees but I want to do the full ones.

Nope, I don't want kids so that would be a deal breaker for me. As was said previously, even if I would consider it, one would have to question how unstable mom is to lose full custody given the bias in courts. Just a world of **** I wouldn't want to step in.

HIIT cardio (high intensity interval training)

Yesterday I did day 1 of level 2. holy crap is it a major step up from Level 1. I must admit I was a little lost on some of the form on the moves so I might be spending more than a week on this level. I hate and love all of the plank moves, hate the pain, love the gain! Keep pushing ladies!

If you have a really good blender, unpeel, cut and freeze the banana. Put the frozen banana chunks in the blender and blend until it becomes "ice cream" seriously delicious Make chunky monkeys. Put Banana smeared w PB on a popsicle stick, freeze on cookie sheet w waxed paper and then coat in melted chocolate, freeze again.…

My 1st 2 days on level 1 left my hamstrings and love handles so sore. Where do you ladies feel sore?

Maybe this article can help http://www.builtlean.com/2011/10/17/healthy-italian-food-options-quick-guide/ If you eat seafood, maybe they will have a grilled fish dish and salad or italian vegetables. Marinara/pomodoro sauce is healthy, stay away from alfredo, cream sauce, vodka sauce, butter sauce if you can.

Hey all, I mixed it up yesterday w some BFBM. Hi Celina. FYI for any others looking to mix up their routine or following the 30 day slimdown, BFBM and NMTZ are both available free on youtube under the channel "befit" Keep pushing play!
