it doesn't matter to me. If starting on Sunday would work better for everyone then I'm up for it. If we start on the 1st then that will work for me too, I will just skip Saturday and pick back up on Sunday.

I've been reading the Cathe forums and there is a lot of talk about the Ripped workouts. One person said they are seeing great results with them, but they are kind of putting Ripped down a little, saying it is more of a beginner workout, I really don't find that to be true.

That sounds good to me. Which Ripped workout do we start with. I'd like for all of to be able to do the same ones so we can compare progress. Maybe not the same cardio workouts, but it would be fun to see what weights we all use.

So Sunday we begin!!! can't wait!!!

Hmmm...what to do? HOw about we start on Sunday this

way I can keep my " sleep in " day on Saturday? does

that work for everyone?

So, we start with Cardio right? This is what I have:

Cardio Plus Abs/Yoga

Ripped Plus Stretching

Cardio Plus abs/yoga

Ripped Plus Stretching

Cardio Plus Abs/Yoga

Ripped Plus Stretching

Stretch/Yoga/Rest

How does that sound?

What are you guys doing for cardio? I'm just going to

mix it up with step, hi/lo, kickboxing and maybe an

interval workout thrown into the mix as I get brave.

Take care!

yes, that is what i have too. if i feel good, and have time, then i

might add 30 mins of light cardio to the ripped days. i really need

to get rid of flab!

i have just put the days of the week into your post, in caps...

so 'ripped' is on mondays... should 'slim & lean' be scheduled for

wednesday or friday?

yes, im going to mix it up with everything that i have -- floor,

step, kickbox, walking, rebounding, nordic track, etc...

have to keep those cardio workouts interesting since we are using a

set of weighted workouts repetitively

i wont have a set cardio rotation though... will just pick whatever i

feel like doing that day.

as for abs add-ons, i will do a mixture of those too -- traditional

on the floor, pilates, stability ball, standing...

I wore my HRM the last time I did S & L and I burned almost 300 calories so I think we will be fine without having to add any extra cardio. I haven't done RTTC yet so I don't about that one, but they are all high endurance workouts so it should feel like, if nothing else, a low cardio workout at times.

So Sunday the 3rd will be cardio, right? and then one of the Ripped workouts Monday? Just let me know which Ripped workout to start with.

Sounds great, Carolyn! If I have time I might do the

extra cardio, too - but I doubt I'll be able to pull

it off unless I'm willing to do a second workout in

the evenings - which I usually dont have the time or

energy to do!

I'm not sure how we should order S & L and RTTC....I

gues we can just toss a coin or something!

Take care,

me too. I haven't even tried RTTC yet and that is unusual for me to not try a workout soon after I get it.

[Guest guest]

That sounds like a plan - Ripped, S & L and RTTC...

I think my Sunday cardio will be lighter (since I tend

to stay up later on weekends than during the week) and

I'll try to up my cardio intensity on Tuesdays and

Thursdays.

I'm looking forward to this!! :>
