I'm still here! Fire 45 and Stretch 10 today...back to a ChaLean Extreme strength workout tomorrow in the hybrid rotation.

Fire 45 and Stretch 10 class today (I'm in week 4 of the ChaLean Extreme/Turbo Fire hybrid)...534 calories toasted. And I LOVE the music in this one..."Boom I got your friend, I got your man."

What you can do is add one of the abs workouts onto the end of the 3 strength training days, instead of just doing it on the day you do Burn Intervals. That said, abs truly are made in the kitchen. You won't really be able to see them until you get to a certain body fat percentage.

1. Why do you need an exercise partner? In the end, this is up to you, and you only. You don't need a car either. There are a lot of workouts you can do at home, even with a 2 1/2 year old. The Leslie Sansone walking workouts are a great place to start. I can access them using the 'On Demand' feature with my cable box.…

I can pretty much rely on the fact that the day my period starts, I'll gain 5 pounds, and 2 days after it's over, I'll have lost 6. : )

chia seed...excellent source of omega's (3, 6 and a little 9)

My buddy, Lee Lichlyter, posted this on a P90X Facebook page earlier this year. It's all SO true. 1. Success in this program is 70% mental, 60% nutritional, and 40% exercise. Yeah, I know, it doesn’t add up. But you get the point. 2. Discipline is required in all three elements – mental discipline, nutritional discipline,…

Clover...in general, it's lifestyle. I'm simply one of those people who stays fairly active. During most of the year (not summers), I'm a school teacher, and by being on my feet all day and helping the kiddos, I burn a lot there. However, it's summer, and my typical 'burns' come from a daily dog walk of about 75 minutes (I…

I wear a Bodybugg, so I'm fortunate to know, within 10% accuracy, what my caloric expenditure is each day. Because of that, I don't use MFP the way most people do (I set my own calorie intake and do not log my exercise calories)...I determine my own deficit each day based on how many calories I've burned. On average, I…

Woot!!! Bravo! Seriously...that's some fantastic work.

Insanity is a 60-day intense cardio conditioning program. Here's a preview link of the program: http://beachbodycoach.com/esuite/home/NancySchwert?bctid=45375625001 It's very intense. I thought the warm-up was going to kill me at first (it's 10 minutes and intense!). The first month workouts are around 45 minutes in…

I didn't have the time to post this earlier, but here's my 'story.' I started P90X on April 4, 2009. I weighed 204 pounds (I'm a 5'9" female), walked my dogs a few days/week, but really didn't do anything consistent. I DESPISED myself. When I bought P90X, my husband was TICKED and said I just wasted $130. Perhaps that was…

Just be wary that there has been a LOT of counterfeit rings recently busted selling bootleg fitness programs (P90X, ChaLean Extreme, etc.). I know everyone wants to save a buck, but a lot of the DVDs skip or simply don't play and don't come with the nutrition or fitness guides, so you're out whatever money you spent. If…

I think you answered your own question...seriously, it's 80% nutrition. You can workout as much or as hard as you want, but if you don't get the nutrition in check, you won't get the results you desire. Sure, you'll firm up, gain strength, etc., but a lot of it will be hidden under a layer of body fat. A few things...make…

I finished my first 'round' last month, and am now in week #4 of the ChaLean Extreme/Turbo Fire hybrid. I love the program. Truly, I think this is one of the BEST strength training programs designed for women. Of course, guys can do it, too... : )

Yours are similar to what I get as well, with the exception of Legs and Back....mine was closer to 375, including ab ripper.

Anyone care to share the ingredients and process for making your own?

Fire 30 and Abs 10 today...MY ABS ARE ON FIRE!
-
I have one, but mine seems pretty mild in comparison to yours. I only noticed it, not because it was painful, but because I have a high risk of Deep Vein Thrombosis, and when I notice swelling in my legs, I get a little panicky. I haven't had to do anything regarding mine...it's just there. No pain, no restriction. My…

Here's another from Chalene Johnson.... "Open bag = Saddle Bags." When purchasing bulk types of snack items (i.e. pretzels), go ahead and measure them out and put them in the small snack sized resealable backs. An open bag just asks you go keep shoving your hand in one more time, and next thing you know, you've eaten, 2 or…

I'm a middle school teacher, and it's awful the crap they bring in and leave in the workrooms, front office. I hate going into the front office because I know there will be cake, pastries, candy and chocolate everywhere I turn.

I'm jealous! Tricep push ups are my true nemesis!

THIS is Insanity: http://beachbodycoach.com/esuite/home/NancySchwert?bctid=45375625001 Message me if you want more info. There's also a special going on right now that if you purchase through a Beachbody coach (like me!), you get a free 20-minute workout created by Shaun T. called "Fast and Furious." I did my first round…

I watched this yesterday on YouTube and it makes SO much sense...it describes how the foods we eat create an acidic environment in our body (which causes acid reflux, forces our body to use many nutrients to stabilize neutrality, thus robbing bones of calcium, etc.). It was REALLY informative.…

I love it...when I first started it, I was already quite fit as I had finished 3 rounds of P90X and a round of Insanity. I was really pleased at how much I leaned out and the inches I lost. I'm in a 2nd round of it now.

I may step on from time to time, but my official weigh in is on the 8th of every month. For me, I find it too frustrating to plan for a 1 lb. weight loss/week, and know that so many factors could come into play if I weighed myself every week and didn't see a change. So, once/month, and I also take measurements and pictures…

I'm not a runner, but I do walk 4 miles/day with my dogs, and value my feet. Soo...I go to a running store to get my dog walking shoes. I'm a bit of a tough fit...I'm a really weird overpronator in one foot and really wear my shoes in some odd spots, so a more stable shoe is important for me. Also, I'm narrow in the heel…

You just answered your own question. If you want to keep those muscle gains, you need to continue with the CLX/TF hybrid so you're still lifting 2-3 days/week. The first two week were, in my opinion, a little easy, but I found that my body appreciated the recovery time. I'm now in week 3 and I'm burning calories like…

OMG...and I just reread the part about cardio and running being bad for you...I wonder where the 'trainer' was certified?
