    calories burned during workout

    There probably are smaller ones and if you're concerned about the size, you might find this one to be bulky. It's more like a men's watch. It only bothers me when I need to go down on my hands and bend my wrists, like doing pushups, then I have to move it up my arm a little bit so that it's not...

    XTrain 90 Day Undulating Rotation

    I second Melissa's Taking it to the Max suggestion. That's a great idea! Melissa, to your question about my last rotation, I can say my endurance increased and I was able to get a wee bit of loss on the thighs and rear, but just a wee bit. For me, though, a wee bit is fine, as everything...

    calories burned during workout

    I also find that my HRM is close to the Workout Manager, but usually the WM is higher. It's usually 50-75 calories off, which is not huge, but could make a small difference depending on your objectives. I was surprised at how close the WM was, though, for most of the workouts. Eva

    crew members

    Thanks to GetFit55 for posing this question, and to Cathe for her thoughtful response. As a woman of color who has been a Cathe fan for over 10 years or so, I have appreciated that Cathe has two women of color in her core crew, Jai and Lorraine. Deazie was also wonderful and it was so nice to...

    XTrain 90 Day Undulating Rotation

    Hello Everyone, Melissa, you were up super early this morning. I hope you were not having trouble sleeping last night, or that the time stamp is wrong... Ladylep, I can relate to your reaction at the view you caught of yourself in the mirror, but all you can do is make a decision to make small...

    Les Mills Combat versus Insanity in terms of calories burnt?

    Hi Nathalie, I did not have a HRM when I did Insanity, so I cannot say how many calories that burned. I do have one now, and I also have LM Combat. Like Zenara25, I give the workouts a little extra oomph and add some higher impact moves when they are doing low impact, and I can burn about 500...

    XTrain 90 Day Undulating Rotation

    Hello Everyone, I'm still catching up on posts, sorry I've been so quiet. I've been trying to get my routine back and get ready for work tomorrow. A lot of laundry, cleaning, and getting the house back in order. Yesterday I did Supercuts and I was sore today! Today I did about 30 minutes...

    XTrain 90 Day Undulating Rotation

    Hello Everyone, I hope that you have all been well the last two weeks since I've been MIA. I am back from my honeymoon to Greece, which is why I have not been online for two weeks. I've gotten kind of weird about posting online that I'm going to be out of town for extended periods, as...

    XTrain 90 Day Undulating Rotation

    Greetings, Sounds like you all had good workouts yesterday. Renee, while I'm sorry you did not enjoy your food treat more than you did, don't sweat it. Like you said, you've been eating well lately so a little treat meal here and there keeps us sane. I do get annoyed when I splurge and...

    How do you make a rotation?

    Hi Candice, Well, the rotation that I am currently following alternates barre/pilates/fusion type workouts every other day with an intense cardio workout. Maybe your rotation could look something like this: Monday - Barre Tuesday - Cathe Cardio w/intervals Wednesday - Barre/Fusion/Ballet...

    How do you make a rotation?

    Hi Candice, I am not the wizard at putting together rotations by any means, but I have been trying to put my own together lately, and I've been following a few rules of thumb. It also depends on what your objectives are. What are you trying to accomplish? I'm happy to share any thoughts I...

    XTrain 90 Day Undulating Rotation

    Hello Hello! Katie, thanks for the info on your practice. Ok, now I get the moniker that you use, and yes, I totally get the winks. Wow. I can only imagine the stories you have about the two clients you had to ask to leave. I wonder how that line of work has gotten that reputation. Is it...

    Losing Cellulite vs. Losing Inches

    Hi Nathalie, I am most interested in my quads and in my rear end. My calves are fine the way they are and I don't think I need to either increase or decrease those, so I don't focus on them specifically. Now, I have only recently changed my routine, so I am not expecting anything dramatic...

    Thanks to all who shared their experiences with me regarding this topic. I will keep plugging away, as I am by no means discouraged. I'm happy with the changes that I have seen, and they are very motivating. I was just curious to see if anyone else had a similar experience. I'm actually...
