Guest guest Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 You don't need the guide, just the workout calendar The thing toner I'm sure you already have, it's one of those pilates ribbon things that come free with a lot of workouts. If you had to you could use resistance tubing instead, I think. You're getting the entire basic set just for B & G? That's a super swap !Stacey and I got great results from CLX! I got a lot stronger,that's for sure! Consistency is key. The workouts might seem boring after awhile but keep at it, as is on the calendar. That's how you get results! Have fun! I hope this is readable, I'm trying a new font... I'm also trying to control myself here but... someone on VF is sending me the basic CLX discs!!! It is a trade and I'm giving her Butts & Guts. I know I haven't done it yet but I got it on a whim in another trade in which I was excited to be getting rid of whatever workout I gave up (I don't even know what now) and was excited to get another Cathe strength workout even though I knew nothing about it at the time. Meanwhile, I've been wanting CLX since it came out and just can't afford it so, while I had to think about it a little, I quickly decided it was a no-brainer. I don't have the discs in my hot little hands yet, but am hoping to have it later this week though. This may change my entire winter rotation schedule since I want to do heavy weights (this month anyway) and this would probably be perfect! I'll have to think about it though because I was getting really excited about my January plan and preliminary plans for February and March. Only hang-up is there's no guide with it. I do have the worksheets (from links posted in EV I think) and I think I have a rotation schedule too. Should I try to get a guide somewhere? I don't care about the nutrition info since I'll follow my own regular plan. Also, I don't know if I have tubing with handles, if I want to use regular stretchy bands, would those be good enough? I also don't have a clue what the " thigh toner band " is. Is there some way I can make that myself or should I find a way to get one? Any suggestions, advice, help will be so appreciated. I read all about this when you all first got really excited about it but it has been a while and I don't remember as much as I'd like. Thank you!!

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012  Hi Donna, The length of the workouts was one of the reasons why I wanted them so badly, short and strong!! I'm definitely considering doing what you say about my rotation. I won't be able to start this until next week at the very earliest anyway so I'm thinking February or possibly as late as March, not sure yet but doubt I can wait that long either! ;-) Not sure about the back issues, guess I'll find out. You're probably wise staying away from it just in case though. Speaking of back issues (sort of), my best friend, who I convinced years ago to see a chiropractor about her sciatica just convinced me to go in about the pinched nerve in my foot. I actually slept last night and it is mostly okay today but we'll see where we're at tonight and tomorrow. I didn't think the chiro would do any good for a foot but she convinced me it could help so I can't go in until next Tuesday but I'm going to try it. My back has been a little tweaky off and on too and with the heavy lifting I'm doing this month (and potentially next month) it might be worthwhile to get "realigned." It has been over 4 years since I was last in they told me too! I'm seeing my podiatrist for a 4th injection (of only 3 that were planned) Thursday night so hopefully by Tuesday I won't even want to see the chiro (but probably will in any case). Re: CLX Hi !I think the CLX workouts are relatively short - so probably really good for you! I'd say stick w/ your Cathe rotation since you put so much into it and save CLX for Feb. It will be here before you know it!I have wanted to do CLX on and off, but I'm scared of it b/c a lot of people say it is tough on the back - and I really don't want to mess myself up.....

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012  Wow, that's really interesting about how the strength workouts work together. I'll look forward to seeing that! I'm glad you told me this too, I'll definitely keep it in mind. I'm glad all I need is the basic set, that was another question I had in mind but forgot to ask!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 those stretchy bands from will work just fine!! And using the tubing when the 15's are too light is also a super idea! You WILL get stronger with this program. My 20's got too light for some things and I wound up using my heavier kettlebells for some of the exercises. Burn it uP!   I probably will do the cardio workouts. I haven't looked at them yet to see what they're like though. I'll use weights for as long as I can because I prefer weights but I'm discovering that I'm outgrowing my 15s (the heaviest I have) for some exercises and I'm not sure when I'll be able to get heavier ones. My back-up plan is to use bands when feel like 15s are not heavy enough. I don't have any stretchy bands used for pilates but I do have a lot of stretchy bands from various workouts ( and others). It looks like one of those that is just knotted to make it shorter. Would that work for the thigh toner?   Re: CLX    , are you going to do the cardio workouts too?  Why don't you use weights instead of bands?   The thigh toner is one of those stretchy bands used for pilates like said.                    Jen  I hope this is readable, I'm trying a new font...  I'm also trying to control myself here but... someone on VF is sending me the basic CLX discs!!!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 , you might want to have your chiro try using kinesio tape on your foot. It always helps me when Dr. No does that, it takes pressure off the ouchy places. Might not work for your situation but it doesn't hurt to ask...

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Way to burn it up, !!!!! And you're in good company, a few others are doing CLX right now too!Hugs! Happy Happy!I walked 8 miles yesterday to get to Kaiser, then took the bus home.Today I decided to start back with CLX, just the strength workouts. I'll do bike/walking instead of the CLX cardio. I will also do yoga. The first workouts are shorter, and I thought it would be a really great way to break back in. I'll see how this goes. If progress is slow, I might do the whole 3 month thing. If I progress faster, then I think I'll just do 2 weeks of each circuit and move on. I did Burn Circuit 1 today. I used super light weights, and did 10 reps instead of 12. The only problem I had was with the push ups. That prone position still irritates my head, but it didn't lead to anything worse than an irritated feeling and increased ringing in my ears. It's going to feel scary to get into those bending-forward/prone positions for a while. Next time I'll do inclined push ups using my ropes or using the STS tower.I'm so glad I won't have to sell off my DVD collection & gear, at least not yet. Happy, HAPPY workouts!
