Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 OMG, now I'm getting excited, can't wait for my kit to get here.Thanks for the review.Vennitta I received my package on Wednesday & was able to watch the " Burn Basics " and " Band Basics " DVD first. I have also read the " Muscle Burns Fat " book in it's entirety. I am so far very impressed with CE. I do love Chalene, so this is not a shock. Completely different from what I have seen before in any of her work. The muscle work is great. The burn basics shows proper lifting technique and has some great tips on how to stay safe and get strong. I do not have SelecTechs, but my plan is to do the whole 90 process twice with a two week break between the two. The first rotation will be done bands only. After watching the band basics DVD, I think I will still get a good workout for most of the exercises, although one of the ways to hold the band in one of the " burn circuits " didn't look like it was giving tension to the body part it was intended to, but I remember thinking that a simple change to the band would make all the difference. If I love it like I think I will get some form of SelecTechs if I can figure out where to put it or I will take my DVD player to the gym and workout with heavier weights. Watching the Kitchen Tour workout as we speak. I plan on watching the burn circuits, burn intervals, ab burner, burn it off & recharge over the weekend before I start the program. Planning on starting it on 12/22. I will have my hubby take my pics from the views discussed in the MBF book, ten views and will measure my BF. I will post more over the weekend about the workouts themselves. I am very excited to get started on this program next week. I know, it's CHRISTMAS on Thursday, but I figure, days will always come up with temptations and I only help myself if I try to be as healthy as possible throughout the holidays. Betsey -- Get Fit!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hi Betsey!Thanks for sharing - do let me know how it works w/ the bands - I'm interested in that option as it may prove to be more back friendly for me. Although one of the many questions I have for the chiro that I"m compiling is if bands would be better for me than weights!

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hi Betsey, I got my CE Wednesday too! Unfortunately, I don't know when I will start because I'm trying to get over the stomach flu first. If I feel strong enough I will join you on 12/22, if not then there's always the following week.I'm planning on watching the dvds and reading the book this weekend.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 I haven't gotten mine yet or I would join you both. I think I'm ready for the nutrition part of the plan, for me it's not so much the quantity but the quality. Vennitta Hi Betsey, I got my CE Wednesday too!
