    Max weight needed for Xtrain

    I think 33 lbs should hold you for awhile. So far the highest weight I've used in Xtrain is 35lbs for one arm rows during Back Burnsets.

    X-Train and Weight Gain?

    It's funny that you wrote that because it's exactly what I told my neighbor to do so she wouldn't freak out if she gained weight. I am a space cadet though because I keep forgetting that and I'll ask her if she lost weight because she looks thinner to me then. She'll then remind me that I...

    X-Train and Weight Gain?

    Yup...I have the same problem. I gained a pound or two and I have been eating fairly clean and really watching the calories. I attributed it to water retention too. I would give it another two weeks or so before it goes away. I know with STS, I was all over the place until Meso #3. The end...

    Good morning ladies! Last night's workout was Kickmax Low Impact Premix. I added an extra 10 minutes to the workout and my neighbor didn't even notice. No core though since we were talking again a bit. I will push that to Friday in order to get our two core workouts in a week. Tonight will...

    Need some personal marriage advice...

    I have a slightly different take on the subject. I am friends with a couple of my ex-boyfriends and if I had a new boyfriend, I would want to still remain friends with them. I do realize that being married is different than being in a relationship but even when I was married, my husband knew...

    Good morning ladies! Last night's workout didn't go exactly as planned. My neighbor was feeling super chatty and we wound up talking a little bit too much. We wound up doing BS Biceps only and the floor part of All Out Hiit. I loved that workout. It was nearly perfect -- exactly what I...

    Push It

    Good afternoon ladies! No workout last night. I gave my neighbor the night off and I just worked because I had hours to make up. One of my friends stopped by and took us out to dinner and gave me a ride to the bank which was nice of her! Totally blew my good eating habits but it was nice to...

    How cold is it?

    I'm with Pam....it's been absolutely freezing here in Colorado! One of my Facebook friends put this picture up and it made me laugh. Hopefully you enjoy it too!

    Good morning ladies! Last night's workout was XTBSCBS. The burnsets nearly killed my neighbor...and I mean that in a literal sense. We were doing Core #1 and she started feeling super dizzy and whoozy. She nearly passed out. I made her take in lots of deep breaths and drink some juice...

    BRILLIANT IDEA FOR CATHE!

    I love the idea of watching Cathe teach a class. However, if I were a participant in the class, I am not sure how I would feel about a bunch of people outside of the class watching me. Just my opinion though.... :)

    Good afternoon everyone! Today was a rest day or The Ride and we chose to do The Ride. We tried to do it at the apartment gym and the experience was a nightmare. There was a man (if you could call him that) using one of the bikes and he was a complete jerk. He was mad for whatever reason...

    Push It

    Good afternoon ladies! Today has been pretty hectic at work and in a little bit I even have my yearly performance review :confused:. Last night's workout was the Hard Strikes Timesaver premix with no conditioning drills. I liked Hard Strikes -- I thought it was a good workout. I was able to...

    How to use Xtrain's Legs if you're not advanced?

    I have been working out my neighbor and she is at beginner status. When we did XT legs, we did the premix with the Standing work only. Then we added on the bonus barre work. She did great with those two sections and honestly I don't know if she could have done more. Maybe it would work well...

    Good morning ladies! Last night's workout was the second part of Supercuts + HC Getting Started. My neighbor did great with Supercuts until the last pushup / situp combo....that fried her. I think the next time we will do the entire workout. I need to move it though. I shouldn't have put it...

    Do I need a calorie surplus to gain muscle?

    I'm not Cathe but I wanted to add a quick post. Bulking is usually when people are trying add mass and cutting is when you are trying loose mass. Based on your post, it sounds like you are trying to tone up. I don't believe you need a calorie surplus to achieve. What you probably should look...

    Push It

    Good morning everyone! Last night was the standing portion of Legs + the Bonus Barre + 100 RC biceps. The standing leg portion was really good. I thought it would be easy because the weight were lighter....nope not at all. I will say it's not as hard as some of her others ones but that's a...

    Heavy lifting vs high reps for legs

    Hi Toni! I personally prefer squats over any type of barre work. I also prefer them with the barbell over dumbbells so the squat racks discs were totally awesome IMO. Squats are amazing because they don't only work the legs but so many other muscle groups. It was actually doing the squat...

    Good morning everyone! Last night was Basic Step....my neighbor has gotten so good at that one! I was very proud of her. She had every move down. I was excited too because it means we can start moving on to harder step routines. Her cardio endurance is still low but it's improving which is...

    Good morning ladies. No workouts for three days -- the neighbor was sick for them, I had stuff to do, and then Saturday I could have worked out but I was very upset because I got into a car accident Saturday morning. It was my fault which made me feel horrible. No one was injured and no cars...
