see nancy no dread!!! i think that is why P90 is a such a good program b/c its nowhere near as intimidating as others out there. core strength is a hard thing to build up but consistency will get you there. plus doing that many reps is going to be tough b/c you do use quite a bit of core during kickboxing so your core may have already been fatigued from that. no shame, there are days when i can't keep up with denise austin!!! its all what workouts you have done beforehand and how your body is feeling that day. the point is you worked it to your full potential and your body will get stronger from that!kassia ldy_solana's domain Too many people spend money

Oh yes, Ab Ripper 200 is one of my favorite add-on's, and what I like to punish

my classes with as a section of Amp'd Abs! They are NOT easy! It might even be

my favorite ab add-on of all.

Good job on doing it! You can always pause the tape for a second and take a

break if you need to, and join back in when you're ready.

I'll have to check out Cardio 3-4 sometime!

I bet your shower felt marvy!

Hi ,

Great job - note that you are light in body weight so

that affects your calorie burn - 232 may actually be

quite excellent!

Hi Donna,

Thank you!

Hmmm... very interesting, I hadn't thought about this but I can see how you might easily be right about the calorie burn... in WW you can earn "points" for activity. The activity points are based on your weight, duration of the exercise and intensity of it (using perceived exertion). Each point is about 100 calories. At my weight, and before I got my HRM and when I was just using perceived exertion, I found it very difficult to earn more than 2 points for a workout that is less than an hour long and often I don't even get more than 2 for more than an hour (again, it depends on the intensity). So that's my long way of saying this makes sense. I'm going to think more about this... thank you very much though, I'm glad you brought this up!!

hiya! also, nancy, make sure that your HRM accurately reflects

your weight, height and the fact that you are female.

Hi Carolyn,

Yep, it is set correctly, except I need to adjust the weight slightly for all the stupid snacking I did the last 2 weeks. Oh well, maybe I'll see a few more calories burnt because of it! :-)

I hadn't thought about the kickboxing already working my core too, I'm sure it did, that whole workout was quite a workout. Thanks for the encouragement!!!

Pause the tape??? Never! (Well, I did a few times during the cardio the first time or two I did Cardio 1-2 but didn't like having to do that.) Actually, I loved the challenge of it and now I have a starting point against which to measure my progress.

I told DH about this one and he was suitably impressed (that I'd gotten as far as I had) so that was cool too!

Thanks !
