[toystoryduo]

WOW!
Good morning FIRMies! Can you believe we are at week 20? Woohoo! Way to go everyone!!!:thewave:

This morning was Cardio Sculpt. It has been awhile since I have done this video, but it felt great doing it!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!

Tracy

P.S. I added my 6 month exercise clippie today!

I'm rededicating myself to more consistent practice. I did CardioSculpt today, and am aiming to do The Firm at least three times per week, again.

 

[toystoryduo]

Welcome back bicker! WISHing you lots of success with the FIRM!! Congratulations on all of your accomplishments to date! A 100 pound weight loss is amazing and way to go on maintaining it!:thewave:

Good afternoon firmies!!! I just finished Calorie Killer. I think I'll make it Calorie Killer Monday's It makes me feel really good and what a great way to start off a new week.

I hope everyone is having a great day today

FIRMIES!
Yesterday, I did Cardio Sculpt, but I pooped out during the ab section at the end. Today, I did Total Body Shaping Mix. It went pretty well & I was drenched in sweat half way thru the tape. But I finished all 67 minutes of it. So I kept my 3-day weekend promise to do 3 long tapes. Tomorrow, it's back to work & shorter tapes. I think I'll start with my Monday favorite, Cardio Sculpt Blaster.

During errands, I made a detour to the nearest K-Mart, in the continuing quest for a reasonably priced Calorie Killer. The selection at the K-Mart was THE PITS! No FIRM on DVDs or VHS. The quest continues or I may just breakdown & spend full price! YIKES

Have a happy & healthy day! SGG

FIRMIES!
A Monday AM tradition - Cardio Sculpt Blaster w/ Lisa Kaye. My best footwork, to date, with this tape.

Welcome back Bicker! DH (who does some FIRM tapes, but is not active on this thread) and I had just wondered if you were still FIRMing.

I'm off to walmart.com to follow up on sm4987's suggestion.

Have a happy & healthy day! SGG

Good morning FIRMies!

This morning I did super body sculpt with Stephanie Corley. Thos leg presses are murder but I know they are effective so I'll stop griping.

Sunday was my last weigh in before I started the scale challenge and I'm down 3 pounds for all time low weight for me of 214.5! I'm so close to onderland that I can just taste it so I'm actually glad I won't be weighing these next couple of weeks so I won't be driving myself crazy.

sue - I hope you find CK at walmart.com. You have been searching high and low for this tape so I hope you get it today.

Happy Tuesday to everyone and I hope you are all able to get in your work outs!

 

[sm4987]

Good morning all my firm buddies. I did body sculpt with Jen today. I don't do it very often, but I think I should. Not using the sculpting stick definately gives your muscles another kind of workout. Leg press is a real challenge, but I was up to it.

Hope eveyone has a wonderful day.

 

[sm4987]

sue- I found it on amazon.com. Just type in calorie killer and make sure you look under vhs. I found a seller selling it for 6.50 I believe. That is a great deal.

 

[s&k'smom]

OK now I'm in the right place. Sunday was my rest day, it was great, coffee, sunday paper, wdw promo video.

You know those couple of days I cheated really killed me. I felt awful. Monday was Emily and today was my fav Allie. Doing the hour long tapes really made me feel better after eating all that junk. But I was so thinking of you guys, I really didn't want to work out but I rembered just do it and you'll feel better after and of course I did. I should be able to check in again this week.

Good evening everyone-

I hope everybody had a great Holiday weekend!

Tonight was treadmill- but we I was done- I decided to try out Ab Sculpt with Lisa Kay. I think I may start to add a short Firm workout after the treadmill- like Abs or maybe upper Body-I guess I'll see how I feel tomorrow.

Tracy- Way to go on the 6 month clippie

Bicker- I'm new here myself- but welcome back

sm4987- Body Sculpt is the one of the set I have not tried yet- I was kind of following the schedule with the set- but I did watch it-I was thinking of adding the upper body part to my treadmill days. And that way I could avoid leg presses.

Sueg- hope you find that Calorie Killer soon.

Lisa- Good luck with your scale challenge. Wouldn't it be great to find yourself in Onderland at the end of the challenge

sk's mom- glad you could check in - hope things are looking up for you.

Have a great evening everyone.

Good morning FIRMies!

Today was the first time I did the DVD that s&k's mom sent me (Thanks s&k's mom! Sending you a PM) and I love it! It's Lower Body Sculpt 1 and it's with Lisa. What a great routine! My legs will feel it tomorrow.

So, what do I love about this video? I think first and foremost is that Lisa is so encouraging and . The moves in the video are challenging and it helps to have someone who is . I also like the variety of moves. There is a move called the curtsy dip that is great! Lot of leg presses, but overall a great video!

Tomorrow I will do the Upper Body section of Body Sculpt to balance out the entire body routine. Oh and since I didn't post yesterday... I did Cardio Sculpt Blaster.

Feeling good and heading into today with a on my face.

Tracy

Good morning Firmies!

I took a rest day this morning. I usually take Wednesdays off when I aim for Thursdays. But I'm listening to my body. Tomorrow I'll be back at it and may even sneak in the ab part of super body sculpt because I've never done it before and it's only 15 minutes. I'll let you all know if I do.

Tracy - your post made me smile. You sound so upbeat today! Good for you!!!! You also made your new DVD work out sound great, until you mentioned all those leg presses - no thanks! Anyway, you're doing great girlie, keep up the fantastic work!!!!

gadizlover - I like doing the ab sculpt with Lisa Kay. I've also got an ab segment on super body sculpt that I'm thinking of trying tonight. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can hit onderland by the time I weigh in next month. That would be awesome! But I'll settle with hitting my third 10% goal which would be 207. We'll see. Thanks for the support!!!!

s&k'smom - good for you with your "just do it" attitude. You're doing great, keep up the wonderful work!!!!

Sherri - you did body sculpt with Jen! Wow! I think that's an intense body sculpt work out. I like super body sculpt a little better but I think it's because Jen is my least favorite instructor. Good job with your work outs!!!!!! Let's be strong and stay off the scale too!

FIRMIES!
I'm not sure why, but I took this AM off. I used to have a set day off -Thursday- but since I lost the reason for that set day off, my off days have sort of resulted from whim.
I think I own Lower Body Sculpt 1, if it is the DVD that came with Body Sculpt Blaster (Nancy needa burger)in the firmdirect special. I haven't opened it yet, but tomorrow may be the day, after your seal of approval, toystoryduo!
Thanks, sm4987, for the tip on Calorie Killer. The Amazon price is better than the overstock.com price of $8.79 (VHS) or $13.39 (DVD). Plus my oldest DS is an Amazon fanatic & if I tie to one of his orders, I'll get free shipping.

Have a happy & healthy day! SGG

Morning Firmies. Looks like a lot of us are taking off. I exercised 7 days straight and realized it must be time for a break, so I'm taking one today. Then I'll probably exercise another 7 straight. Have a good one everybody!

 

[s&k'smom]

This am I did my karen voight tape, which I really like because she really explains everything well. I was feeling a little depressed this am so I didn't put to much effort into it but I did feel better once I did it, and while I'm whining why is it I must gain 10 pounds of water weight during you know what. OK feel better whined. The only thing I could think of after the interview is that I would be making more money and could buy more firm tapes. have a great day everyone.

Hi Firmies-

Tonight it was Cardio Sculpt with Allie- and it really kicked my butt, probably from the Ab Sculpt yesterday. I really felt it when I laid my stomach on the fannie lifter for the arm work. But I managed to get thru all of it. I am getting a little better with the cardio footwork.

Tomorrow I'm gonna try something different on the treadmill I read about tonight in a fitness magazine. More of an interval workout warm up 3 minutes- go as fast as you can for 1 minute- back to 3 minutes moderate pace. I've read before that is supposed to increase the fat burning- I'll let you know how it works out.

s&k'smom- Hope the interview went well. All I could think of after reading your post was you standing on a street corner somewhere with a sign "Will Work For Firm Tapes"

 

[sueg]

FIRMIES!
As promised, it was Lower Body Sculpt I w/ Lisa Kay. This was my first try at this workout. I actually "cracked the security seal" on the DVD last night, for a preview. Because I've done so many different FIRM Lower Body workouts, there wasn't too many new moves in this workout, so I was able to get thru it pretty easily on my first try. Since it's a "30 min." workout, it will probably become a standard for during the workweek. I'll think I'll try the companion DVD, Body Sculpt Blaster, tomorrow.
Have a happy & healthy day! SGG
