Great job Laura! Your body will be better for it as well. I'm looking forward to Sunday rest day for sure!!! :wink:

There are 2 rest days built into the basic schedule for a reason so if you're too sore then take the day as active recovery. Walking is a great idea or maybe do some yoga/pilates/stretching and get back to Combat tomorrow. By next week you may feel better and can do the extra day of workout. Do what you can and don't…

LOL too funny! I once did the music louder option for a Turbo Fire workout and I couldn't hear Chalene over the noise! I never tried it again because of that experience. Perhaps once I get the routines down (and I get tired of hearing the same banter and jokes) I'll reconsider but for now the normal music volume is fine…

Maybe I'm gonna have to give away a prize to the person that pumps out the most burpees at the end of our little 60 day challenge!! :tongue: :laugh: Who's in????

I used my 10 lb dumbbells until the last section of shoulder presses when I had to go down to 8s. I had great success upping the weights over time during both Les Mills Pump and Chalean Extreme so I expect I'll be doing the same for Power HIIT 1 over the course of 60 days. Don't get me wrong about Insanity. I loved the…

HIIT 1 is the only workout with burpees to my knowlede...although it's possible HIIT 2 also includes them since I haven't previewed that one yet. Modifiy modify modify...that's the name of the game until you're ready to take it up a notch. You'll still get an intense workout but it's ok to pace yourself!

Laura - I'm glad you contacted BB about getting a replacement dvd. That sucks that your's had a scratch on it. Hopefully BB customer service was responsive and your replacement is on its way. You sound like you're totally focused on getting fit. Good for you! Talk to your trainer but please make sure you're not overdoing…

LOL it's thanks to Shaun T and Insanity! Now that's a seriously hard core program. I'm proud I graduated from it but it will be awhile before I think about going through those 60 days again!!! :noway:

Nice job Ladies and I appreciate you stopping by at this time to post your comments. This group shouldn't feel like a chore so if you don't post comments every day don't worry about it. I know sometimes life gets in the way of things. As long as you keep up with your workouts and participate when you're able, I'm…

Morning Gang! Glad to see you all posting and engaging with each other! Burpees are my nemesis for sure. I did the first 2 rounds modified and then said "what the heck" and banged out 4 of the level 3 version (with plyo jump after the burpee) just to see if I could do it. I think this workout is one that I may grow to love…

Keep up the great work!

Rockin body is absolutely fun and you will sweat, although you won't feel like you're working out because you're dancing. I highly recommend buying this program, especially since the base kit is only $19.95. Besides, if you hate it you can always return it within 30 days of purchase for a full refund!

Turbo Fire is my all time favorite but I'm really enjoying Les Mills Combat right now!

This one was FUN! I enjoyed getting back to lifting weights and can see myself increasing them over time. Can't wait to do this one tomorrow either.

You all sound like day 1 was a success. WTG! Just think how much stronger, more agile, and coordinated we'll all be when day 60 rolls around! Don't forget to take starting pictures. You don't have to post them but you'll thank me when we get to the end and you have a visual reminder of where you started. Bummer about the…

Proud of you for making a positive change this morning Laura! Even if you forget to post your starting stats, make sure you take measurements and write them down somewhere so you know where you started and can compare to your day 60 final results. WTG on completing day 1! :bigsmile:

Me too! Can't wait to hear feedback on Combat 45 which is my personal favorite. Happy Day 1!

Post whatever you're comfortable posting and send me anything else you want to keep private but still want me to track.

Welcome! I too finished a couple of rounds of Insanity prior to deciding to tackle Combat. Hope you enjoy this program as much as you did Insanity!

That's a great observation about power vs speed! I'm going to have to go find my weighted gloves from Turbo Jam and give Kick Start a shot while wearing them. Thanks for the tip!

Welcome Erin and Corinne! Erin since I did the pre-order on the first day it was available I only got the base kit (no gloves...BOO). I hear the gloves will be available to purchase any day now so I'm watching the BB site anxiously to order them and the advanced warrior DVDs to add to my kit. If you're not happy with the…

Hi Cara. Welcome! Your goals are similar to mine....I plan to get my eating back on track during this program so feel free to post your daily meals if it helps and I'll do the same.

I'm thrilled you've decided to join us Lo! :bigsmile:

My Les Mills Combat challenge group is starting 1/7 if you want to join us.

To continue on with my preview of all the LMC workouts before Jan 7 today I did Combat 30 Live. This one was fun BUT nowhere near as awesome as Combat 45. One round included 340 something kicks! Needless to say, this one will make you sweat but it's pretty short. I may do this one instead of Combat 30 sometimes just for…

The first 2 weeks we'll be doing 2 x combat 30, 1 x combat 45, 2 x 30 min HIITs

Good job. You'd be surprised at what you'll be able to see from pictures. Can't wait to see the comparison!

I would substitute for another plyo workout before giving up the day to rest (unless your body feels like it needs the extra day). Did you try the 2nd HIIT - Shock Plyo yet? If you like that one better then just do that one instead of the other.

Did you receive your kit yet because the schedules are included in the program guidebook.
