The FIRM Check in Week 9

[s&k'smom]

Good morning, today was STanding Legs. Holy mother of God is that tough. They do tons of leg presses. Actually I think I over did it. AllI could think of was I hate squats, I hate squats as I'm doing them! Have a great weekend everyone.

Hey everyone,

This morning I did Calorie Killer 2. I will probably add an abs tape tonight, because for some reason I didn't feel what I did this morning. Sometimes that happens on a new tape, and I was running late this morning. The last time I tried this tape I turned it off and tried something else. Its pretty intense on some of those cardio segments. The one feels like it never will end. There is quite a bit of 4 limb cardio as well along with some table work for the hips/thighs and butt at the end.

I guess I never got a chance to check in yesterday. I did Complete Aerobics and Weight Training in the morning and then I did the new Hips, thighs and abs with Pam Merriweather (only the hips and thigh portion-not abs) and did the first 2 segments of the new FIRM Power Yoga. I was waiting on the DH & the kids to get home and I just tried it out to get a feel for it. I really liked the music.

Yep guys, right now I have so many FIRM DVD's I dont' even have time to do them all. Here is what I have. There are no more on DVD at the moment. There are still some that are realeased on VHS, but I don't think I will buy them. Hopefully next year they will release more of the older stuff on DVD.

Ok.........thats 36. No wonder I don't have time to do all of them, the majority are sculpt and I generally do 1 heavy sculpt day a week and alternate cardio and Cardio & Sculpt on the others. Yesterday I did decide to alternate a lower body every other day (lower body hips, thighs butt- not one that does squats, leg lifts, dips etc.) so that I get more of this in. Most tapes don't have any or enough to work this area effectively. Most of these types of tapes are short and not very strenous (done mostly on the floor) and would be easy to do in a half an hour after work.

S&K's mom- I agree that standing legs is tough. I want to quit when its just beginning lol! The first and only time I have done it I did upper body afterwards and I was sore for days!

Tracy- You skipped the ab section!! I complain when there isn't one lol! I wish all of them, even the short add on tapes had great ab sections!!

Sue- You know, WATP's would make a great tape to do when you need to rest but want to at least move. I dont' even break a sweat with that tape, but at least it would be moving. I might try that sometimes. Keep at the Cardio Sculpt Blaster- I promise one day you'll get it and go A-haah!

Cheryl- Sorry you had a bad week last week- Great job on the TM work! Keep up the good work, sounds like you are doing terrific!

Lisa- Congrats on hitting the 50lb mark. You are doing fabulous and al this exercise is really helping. Keep up the fantastic work!

Good morning FIRMies!
Today is a rest day for me, but I thought I'd stop in and say hi! I'll be getting some of my "junk"..errrrr... I mean "stuff" together for a yard sale we'll be having in a few weeks. That should provide me with quite a bit of exercise. Plus, we plan on taking the girls for a walk to the park today so that will count as exercise too.

I do have a question though... I know this week we have been talking about results and how long it takes to get them. I have been FIRMing for 3.5 months now and I can see a huge difference in my legs and arms, but the weight is very slow in coming off my hips, stomach, and rear. Does anyone have any idea why or any suggestions on how to combat this? I would be fitting in much smaller clothes by now if my hips and stomach were shrinking as quickly as the rest of me.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Tracy

P.S. Hey Mel.... I wish we lived closer to each other so I could borrow some of your DVDs from time to time. That is quite an impressive list!

Good evening FIRMies!

I'm sorry I haven't been around to post on a regular basis these past few days. I have been thinking of you guys and keeping up wtih my works. Yesterday (Friday) I did FIRM body sculpt and today I did FIRM cardio sculpt with Allie.

I hope everyone is doing well. It's official weigh in day tomorrow so I'll report in what the scale says.

Thanks so much for the congratulations. We're all working so hard and your commitment to your individual exercise routines really encourages me!

Have a great Saturday night!

Good morning FIRMies!
Today was supposed to be Cardio Sculpt Blaster, but I felt like I needed more cardio so I did Maximum Cardio Burn + Abs instead. We have a party to go to this afternoon and I thought I might exercise more to battle the food I will eat later.

Have a great Sunday!

Tracy

FIRMIES!
Kept my weekend promise. Yesterday was 5:30 AM for Cardio Sculpt w/ Allie. Today, DH got up at 6AM, for his workout & I kept a pre-lunch date w/ Emily & CA&WT. I almost felt like I really "got down w/ the fanny lifter". This is a good workout, just wish I had the time to do it more often. Back to the shorter tapes tomorrow AM!
Have a happy & healthy day! SGG
