Extra Stretches
I have completed BR and now do TurboFire, but i wanted to write a short post about stretches - post workout.

Is anyone just starting or planning to start soon?
I have just finished Jillian Michaels body revolution and I plan to start CLX on the 8th April. I'm looking forward to trying a program by someone different as I've stuck with Jillian for the majority of the year I've been here on MFP.

Chalean Extreme/Turbofire Hybrid
I'm REALLY sorry if this type of Q has been mentioned in a previous thread... BUT.. I started CLX yesterday after being a Jillian freak since starting out a year ago. I found the burn circuit very strange because i was used to having some some of cardio intervals during my workout - and i really missed them! I'm now…

I've spent a year in the company of Jillian Michaels but have decided to give Chalean a try. Turbofire looks lots of fun so here i am!

How does the Body Revolution plan work?
Body revolution is 90 days long and is split into 3 "phases" or 3 separate (4 week) months if you like. Each phase contains 5 routines - 4 "workouts" and 1 "cardio".

The importance of rest
I came across this quote in Jillian's "Slim for life" book, and wanted to share it because i liked it so much: "Exercise is the architect, but recovery is the builder. Without properly timed recovery, you'll stress your body, inhibit your progress and possibly injure yourself" When we get started on a workout, we want to…

Six week 6 pack - much more than just an ab workout *pics*
I wanted to let you all know about this fab DVD. There doesn't seem to be many threads about 6W6P and i don't think it gets the following or credit it deserves. When i first discovered this DVD, the title didn't inspire me to buy it, I envisaged it to be a workout full of crunches and not alot else. It was only by pure…

Fed up of working out hard but not seeing any weight loss?
(taken from mfp/fb) "I read posts from people getting discouraged about working out, eating right, but not seeing the scale budge. The scale can be deceiving if you are actively exercising. Your muscles are getting stronger, you are getting trimmer, but the actual "weight" stays the same. This is why! Muscle is denser than…
