Making my own routine
Starting next week, I'm going to make up my own weekly routines. I have done p90x for one month now. I like it. I like most of it. I dont' find it near as intense as "making the cut" by Jillian, so I find myself trying to add intensity to it. I dont' do plyometrics, as I have foot arch issues...so I'm sure that would add…

I have done the stretch dvd…

Has anyone done "making the cut"
by Jillian MIcheals? I'm not doing the eating part so much...but I AM doing the 30 day workout challenge. IT goes up a notch from the 30 day shred...in fact, it's quite hard. I'm on day 5 and feel myself getting stronger already... has anyone else done it before??? I love it. Cindy:heart:

chalene extreme
so, does anyone know if this is WAY better than the 30 day shred or just more of the same? I can workout my intervals on my own pretty intense, so if it's more of the same then I don't need it. I want to try it, but dont' want to put out MORE workout dvd-cash! And neither does my husband.... Opinions? thanks, Cindy:heart:
