weekly check-in 12/31/07 - 01/12/08 (scroll down :))

[Guest guest]

I think I'm going to do SS/Sn6 rotations for the next 2 1/2 months. Two weeks into this rotation I'm seeing small improvements, I'm also going to really knuckle down on my eating (I have been).

To do this SS rotation(s) I'm going to take a recovery week then work on creating a Slim in 6 type rotation that has more variety, probably by adding SS workouts to the S in 6 rotation. I'm getting ideas on how to do use SS & SSE

I found my Sn6 booklet and the pre set rotation is:

Days 1 & 2 - Start It Up

the next week and a half - Ramp It Up

the last four weeks - Burn It Up

The same workout every day, six days a week with the stretch and abs routines added on certain days...I don't know how people are able do that for 6 weeks

08:30 PM

Cardio Sculpt! Express

30 min. This one has more of an upper body focus

09:00 PM

TheFIRM GT Express Cardio

30 min. I really wanted more than 30 min, so I added Express Cardio. Let the sweating begin! This workout simply kicks my butt – yay

09:00 PM

Cardio Core! Express

30 min. OK, this is more of a lower body focus. Debbie's cuing isn't so good on this, she doesn't mirror que and she says the next move right on top of it so you can't prepare. All in all, though, I found it an effective 30 min workout that can be done without an add-on

09:30 PM

TheFIRM Cardio Inferno

30 min. This was the perfect add-on for me today, cardio with light weight total body toning

Tear It Up!

78 min. Yes, you read the length right...but I got through the entire workout! Naturally I had to modify but I feel it, oh do I feel. I don't think I'll be adding a workout to tomorrow's Cardio Sculpt but we'll see

Cardio Sculpt! Express + 6 Minute Abs

36 min. This was my first time doing the abs workout, it's a very quick 6 min. Debbie gets right into it (no warm-up), goes through a series of different moves then ends with a very, very short stretch.

TheFIRM GT Total Body Lite Express

25 min. Hmm, I got more of sweat doing this recovery workout than I did doing Cardio Sculpt. I'll probably do this workout more often, doing recovery workouts with slim training is probably a very good idea.

Fri

Shape It Up!

78 min. I don't know what my quads ever did to Debbie but she just beat the he** out of them

01/05/08

Sat

Cool It Off! Express

30 min. Oh, I soooo needed this, I wish there was a longer option.

Tue

Cardio Core! Express

30 min. I'm starting to see the wisdom of Debbie's ways with these express workouts mixed in with this rotation.

TheFIRM GT Total Body Lite Express

25 min. This felt nice

01/09/08

Wed

Tone It Up!

59 min. A weighted workout, light weights with high reps. Debbie (and I ) used 3 pounds for most of the workout and boy did I feel it.

01/10/08

Thu

6 Minute Abs + Cardio Sculpt

36 min.

Sansone Yoga Walk

27 min. One mile walk plus a short beginner's yoga stretch

01/11/08

Fri

Cool It Off!

58 min. I need this stretch/recovery workout, especially with FIU planned for tomorrow. I love that Debbie includes stretching and recovery in all of her rotations

01/12/08

Sat

Firm It Up!

59 min. I did it! I finished Firm It Up, this is 59 min of lower body torture and tonight I got through almost all of the reps. Muscle stamina is building...my thighs and butt are already sore though, I'll be doing another stretch tape tomorrow. Doing this one is big, big deal to me because a few years ago when I tried to do this I just couldn't finish, I think I stopped 20 min in. I'm so excited!
