~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Yoly - I dropped down to SIU from RIU for one day (because I was so late getting home last night) and it actually seems to have helped. Today, my muscles felt sore, but tolerable, so I was able to do more of RIU I think than if I'd tried it the way I felt yesterday. I think it's a good idea to give your muscles a _little_ break every now and then.

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

I did RiU today and slim&limber.....I love that one! But sometimes when I do it right after Riu I get a little light headed. But any other time, when I take a break and get something to drink then go for it im fine. Its so relaxing....makes me wanna do it again.

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

So would It be cool if I dropped down to RiU or SiU or am I stuck with BiU until the end?

HA! Good question miss "come on somebody move up to BIU with me!" ??? LOLOL
And I need an answer to that to, because I am following blindly the fearless leader YOLY here!
Hey, who's bright idea WAS this challenge anyway???
J/K. It's great. I think.

I must be nuts, but I typed up the majority of the Slim In Six manual for those that have obtained copies of the program without the benefit of the manual. It's in a word document, so if you want to get your hands on a copy, feel free to PM me your email addy and it's yours


I'm also going to create the Steps To Success daily calendar for us in a word document...that or I just might make a copy and paste template for us to use in our daily check-ins. What do you think?!

[Brook]

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Here's a section from the manual that I think everyone might get a little mileage out of :

Getting results- what to expect



When you first start to work out with the program, it may be hard. You may get sore. You may get grumpy. But you will see dramatic improvements…fast. Some say the second week is the hardest. Just when you start to get used to phase one, Start It Up!, wham! –you move on to Ramp It Up! And it’s hard again.



And again, you might get sore. Again, you might get grumpy. And again, it gets easier. The same goes when you move on to Burn It Up!, And that’s what it takes…constant improvement and persistence to increase the intensity for 6 weeks.



In 6 weeks you’ll be able to do more push-ups than you ever dreamed of. Your arms will look great, your thighs will look great and your abs will look great…And it should on only a matter of days before someone comments on your fine behind. All from just 6 weeks of work!



This is a great program, but it is challenging. There are no rewards without the work—both on the routines, and on changing your diet. You can no longer put junk food into your body and expect to get slim. You are going to work too hard to give away your results that way. You will have sweated too much fat off to go backwards by consuming empty “junk” calories.



So find the time for yourself. Do all six days a week. Don’t cheat. The effort matters, because you are doing something that most people fail at. You are changing your body in 6 weeks – 36 days of working out and improving your diet.



This isn’t a “state secret” how it is done. It’s a proven once-a-day commitment, six days a week, no matter what, and watching what you eat.



Of course we all know it’s easy to talk your way out of doing the program for one day, or two, or three in a row. As a matter of fact, that is why we needed the program; because we’ve all said “it’s okay to skip it just this once” too many times. But not this time.



It’s also likely you are very motivated to get started and really go for it. But please, be careful; don’t over-do it when you get started. If you push too hard, you may experience some nausea or hurt yourself and quit before even the first routine is over. We’ve got 6 weeks—so don’t rush it, and don’t give up!



If you follow instructions carefully and remain consistent, you will see your waistline shrink by the end of the first week and feel an incredible “healthy” sensation that will change you.



By far, the most common feedback from all our test groups is that Slim in 6 is more challenging, more fun, and more rewarding than they expected. Everyone wants to get great results. The secret is to pace yourself so you complete the entire 6-week program, and follow our diet and supplement guidelines to maximize the fat burning/slimming results.

Geez Barb, you're looking pretty good there missy! You'll be ready for a magazine cover after the 6 weeks are done!

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Brook- what heart rate monitor do you have? I just bought one thinking it would show calories burned and it doesnt. I think I'll take it back. Any suggestions on which one to get?

Hey Molly I've got a Polar F4. You can see it here: http://www.polar-heartrate-monitors.com/polar_f-4.htm

I really like it for several reasons - aside from the obvious of being able to track stuff. LOL I like it because it's relatively small and it's not cumbersome.

I'd strongly suggest getting a heart rate moniter with a chest strap. They're way more accurate.

I didn't spend more money on mine because I'm not working out under water and I'm not working in a gym/club where other people might be wearing them and winding up with crossed signals. The more expensive models have unique signals and/or are more water resistant. Mine is resistant to something like 30 feet, but I don't get much wetter than 5 feet. LOL



Yoly- If you need to back down to a couple of days of RIU, then DO IT! If you just want to lower your intensity level in BIU, then do that. Make it work for YOU.

And errrm, ummm, Barb.....it was someone else who shall remain nameless but looks sorta just like me. What a rotten, obnoxious pain in the butt that person is! Sheesh! Great before shot, btw!


Would anyone be interested in a private off-site members only webpage for before/current/after pics? If we get brave enough to share them in here as we go, cool, but if not, then we're a members only gig off site where we don't have to worry. Thoughts??


Well done lawyerchick!!! Way to make it work for you

speedy- LOL I hear ya! I love Slim 'n Limber.


Oh, by the way ladies, according to the manual I spent some time typing up tonight...we're supposed to be doing 6pack 3 times a week. Anyone game to commit??? C'monnnnnnnnnnn! We're already in this up to our ears!!

[Sheshy]

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Who loves ya? Huh? Who loves ya?!

YOU do!! And we're so happy about that!!

I love the part about being a little grumpy and sore...uh-huh...nailed that one! Luckily the grumpiness last only during the lunges, squats, and a$$crampers...the rest of the workout, I'm just mildly perturbed...

Oh...owwwwww....the inside of my thighs hurt, ow!

[Brook]

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

LOL, for sure, eh, Shelly? Grumpy and sore start to cover it - but NOT REALLY!


LOL

Alright, so here's the copy and paste version of their daily tracker:




************************************************** ********

Week 2/Day 4



Today I did: ___Phase 1 ___Phase 2 X Phase 3



My intensity: ____low ____ moderate ____high X very high



My calorie burn: 569 calories (My add-in)



Notes about what HELPED me today: (good meal planning, making time, etc.)

1. drinking a protein shake before I worked out and letting it settle.
2. making sure I'd be interuption free during my workout.



Notes about what hurt my results today: (food choices, forgot supplements, etc.)

1. I should have gotten more rest.
2. I shouldn't have eaten the stupid @#$#$ cream cheese and coffee!

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Barb- Put away the magnifying glass. You are looking fabulous and it doesn't take beer goggles to see how great you look. Flaunt it, baby!

Ramp it up done for today and slim and six pack will be tonight.

We have only begun this challenge but has anyone been thinking about another challenge to follow? If anybody has ideas on our next goal it would give us time to get the necessary equipment so that nobody gets left behind.

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Here is my before shot. Be glad that I did not have room to upload my behind shot.

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

No workout yet. I actually slept til 7am!! Have to get my van in to the shop by 8! I'll get it done later. Ugh.

Re: ~*~*~*~SI6 Vidiots- House of Pain~*~*~*~

Wow ladies, your before shots look increadible, I am no where near them, hope to get close with my after shots, lol.

Brook - I really appreciate the time you are dedicating to this challenge. I just want you to know that I am noticing you and valueing it

Barb - your pic looks awesome, I'm burning it up today. I was tired last night and I'm tired today but after reading the challenge specs that Brook posted one line kept jumping out at me, "you are challenging yourself" If I am truly supposed to be challenging myself then I'm going burn it up this morningdamnit.
