How do you use the Slow and Heavy series? Do total body twice a week?

I didn't think 10lbs would be enough for biceps, but I had DOMS out the ears the next day! All the the reps...I couldn't sustain the moves with form at 12.5lbs. My arms are still sore. Circuit 2 today. I am ready!

Sweet.. I think I may get Slow and Heavy Series. It is an hour per workout? I can't seem to find the info online. It could be that I am just loopy from zero sleep and can't comprehend anything, atm! :yawn: :laugh:

Slow and Heavy...is that a series or just the one DVD?

I am hoping I see more results in my abs....my most hated body part!

I plan on doing so once I finish Lean. I just started Lean yesterday. How were your results from Lean?

I have adjustable weights that go to 25lbs. I needed the 25lbs for several of the leg moves. I would definitely purchase heavier weights, if you are able to do so.

What started me on this path was after losing 11lbs....MFP dropped my calories to 1380. I was hoping, at that time, to lose an additional 50lbs. At the rate MFP was dropping my calories, by the time I would get to goal weight, my calories would be at zero! LOL It hit me that something isn't right....that is when I started…

Thanks for asking the question! I am having that exact problem!

Another great story...thanks for sharing. It means a lot more than you know!

Thank you so much for sharing! You are helping others just by speaking your truth!

The biggest difference I am noticing to my body is the size of my hips shrinking. I am on my last week of the Push phase. I don't do the ab routines because the floor work kills my lower back and neck. I need to add some type of ab routine in, but haven't been consistent in doing so, yet.

How much lighter are you lifting in Lean compared to Push?

It does help...thank you! I know I need a break. I won't be able to give it my all without one. I believe that is what is happening now.

Could you let me know what you find out when you double check? Thanks!

I have a friends DVD's. I don't have the booklets. I did not know this! So my exercise break can come next week! I am super excited!! I bet that is why I am having issues right now. I wish she had told me or I had known. I will know if I do another round. I plan on buying the system for myself. As usual, Nicole...lots of…

Would it be detrimental to take a rest week after the Push phase before entering the Lean phase?

I had the weekend off and also, there is a week before repeating the same circuit. I know I haven't been getting the protein I need, but I would think that would affect my entire/overall performance.

YOu can add me if you like. I am just finishing week 3 of Push and am checking out Turbo Fire. I have to work on my pivoting!!

Next week starts my last week of Push. I can't wait until I am done with the entire system to see where I stand. I haven't done measurements. I am just going by the way clothes fit/feel. I have a mental block as well with upping some weights for lower body as well. I have adjustable weights to 25lbs and fear maxing out and…

Thanks, Nicole!

Here is where I get confused.....when you take an exercise break do you eat at your exersice TDEE level even though not exercising? Also if you combine exercise and diet break....what TDEE level are you eating at?

I don't have thyroid issues, but I understand what you are saying about energy. I have never had energy my entire life and doctors have never come up with an answer. I am an insomniac and it takes me atleast an hour to fall asleep at night. I hate waking up and it takes me quite some time to get up and going in the…

I am in! I can only hold for 25 seconds at a pop right now, but maybe after September....I will have extended it!

I am ready for a break, but I have 6 more weeks of Chalean Extreme. I just have zero energy and I know my intensity isn't where it should be when exercising. I am going to try and get that energy back and complete CLX and then I am taking atleast a 1 week break from exercise and the following week take my calories to TDEE…

Good luck! I have been a vegetarian for almost 21 years. I am slowly transitiioning to vegan.

I am thinking about using the Rock It Out routine in place of one of the cardio days. I haven't tried it yet. How do you like that routine?

I hate push ups too! I can't do them...hahaha!

I wouldn't change on the calorie front until you get the blood work test results back and get the doctor's opinion as well. Keep your chin up! There isn't anything written in stone.
