    This morning was Ultimatum's Black workout and I finished it out with Butt Bible Level 2 Lower--my glutes and legs are fried. I loved the Black workout--tough and fun metabolic strength work. I would not call the Butt Bible fun. I am afraid of level 3 now because level 2 was tough! I love it...

    This morning I did Ultimatum's Platinum workout--now that was more what I was expecting from Ultimatum. I've really liked them all so far, but Platinum really kicked it up a notch. Still not Insanity level, but this one ranks up there with Michelle Dozois Peak 10 Cardio Strength workouts--except...

    This morning was Ultimatum Purple (kickboxing) + Butt Bible Level 2 Upper. I used 2# weighted gloves for the kickboxing so by the time I was done my shoulders and back were fried. haha! I felt like I should know what Ruthless meant! Weider Ruthless of course! Loves those workouts! have a...

    This morning was another Ultimatum--Bronze workout. I really liked this one a lot. I've actually loved all of the ones I've done so far. Challenging but not killer. They are all lots of fun (IMHO). This one was bodyweight strength + cardio. I finished it up with Stretchmax #3. SarBear--what is...

    This morning was Ultimatum White + Butt Bible Level 1 Upper. Another great workout. Ultimatum is easier than I expected (not easy--it just isn't brutal like I expected) and level 1 of the Butt Bible is more challenging than I expected. It's not hard, but using the proper dumbbells (not 3-5...

    This morning was Ultimatum Blue workout + Butt Bible Level 1 Lower. An all around great workout. I really liked Ultimatum. It was tough but not nearly as brutal as I assumed from previewing it. I got through it fine and got an excellent workout. I also thought Butt Bible Level 1 would be too...

    Jodi--I agree! I think HSC is probably my all time favorite Cathe workout. It is the perfect workout!

    Nathalie--no RIPT90 is not a Beachbody program. I compared it in some ways to P90X--but that is only because it appears that's what the company (XTrainFit) was going for--mimicking some aspects of P90X. However, the program is nothing at all like P90X. Very different program, very different...

    Good morning! Day 2 of IF and I am hungry! I can eat in about an hour. This is going to take some getting used to. It is easier to be hungry in the mornings than later in the day, but still--I'm hungry! But I'll live. When I do get to eat I feel like I have a ton of food to consume! Yesterday...

    This morning was RIPT90 Total Body Tamer + Ups & Downs + Stretch. It was rough! My shoulders are seriously sore from Death by Thruster so when there were more in Total Body Tamer they were protesting!

    Thanks SarBear--I actually purchased Dr. Solomon's books--that's where I've been getting most of my information (a few other sources, too). She was the one Chalene Johnson interviewed in her podcast. She did a long 2 part podcast with her and she also did another podcast with another trainer...

    I am thoroughly surprised and impressed with RIPT90. For $30 this is a steal. This morning was Arm Annihilator--burned my biceps out. I followed it up with 2 upper body focused 10 Minute Torchers and my arms are aching. Planned doubles is RIPT90 Dirty Dozen, which I am now afraid of. Yesterday's...

    As I suspected, my back is sore from Back Breaker. The double I did yesterday--Metabolic Mania was tough and awesome. So far I am really impressed with this program! This morning was RIPT90 Leg Overhaul. I finished it off with two 10 Minute Torchers. Planned doubles is RIPT90 Death by Thruster...

    Svetlana--I can't beleive I missed your comment to me. I think it's because I was focusing on what you said about IF! I sometimes get mad about the drunk driver. Usually when the pain is bad. But I am mostly thankful that I recovered enough to lead a fairly normal life. Vacations will never be...

    Hello! Thanks everyone for your input. I am not jumping into any fasting, but I am interested enough to educate myself. So we'll see! This morning was RIPT90 Back Breaker and Shoulder Pressure. Holy #$%&. Wow. These are some awesome workout. I have a lot of nitpicks, but overall, the 3 I have...

    That link really didn't give much information--except she lost a lot of weight! I have seen that the topic has come up but I don't spend a lot of time reading posts here (other than this check in), plus I haven't been interested in IF until recently so I never bothered to read it. I am...

    Nathalie--which protocol did you use when you tried it? I have been reading about a lot of them and some I definitely could not do. But a 16/8 might be feasable.

    I have been listening to Chalene Johnson's podcasts and I am about to finish a 2 parter on intermittent fasting. I have never had any interest in this before, but now after listening to the podcasts I am rethinking this way of eating as a lifestyle. Has anyone done this? Researched it? Thoughts?

    This morning was RIPT90 Dead-Lift Killer and I finished my lower body off with 10 Minute Torchers Lower Body Crush. Actually a really good lower body workout that really burned the glutes out. Planned doubles is 3 more 10 Minute Torchers. Jodi--my Anarchy review is up! My husband did his first...

    I am almost finished with the Anarchy workouts and I really, really like them a lot. Yesterday was Anarchy Phase 2 Endurance + Free Flow and I also did two 10 Minute Torchers. This morning was Anarchy Phase 2 Strength + two 10 Minute Torchers and planned doubles will be Anarchy Phase 2 Cardio. I...
