Hi everyone,

I am so proud of myself! The only thing is, I still can't get through the floor work with ankle weights on, and I have to pause the player and stretch between everything in the floor work.

Has anyone else had a tough time with this workout? How long does it take for your leg muscles to get stronger when you're following cathe's rotations?

Congrats! Isn't that a great feeling?!

I rarely do all of butts and gutts (it's overkill IMHO--plus, I like the Leg Blast premix MUCH better!) Don't worry about not using ankle weights and having to stretch. I didn't use ankle weights for years because I didn't own any! I finally went and bought some and did B&G with them and it wasn't that much harder. I couldn't believe it! I also have to stretch after many of the floorwork exercises. I get all cramped up!

Keep up the good work! Congrats again!

Alright! Congrats! Butts and guts is a tough one! I love it for that reason. Don't feel bad, I don't use the ankle weights either. Don't need them - still get a nice burn.
 
Hi

Yes, I have trouble with this workout too, it is because my legs are more suited for squats than lunges. If I do lunges I get really sore for a longer period of time. Lunges, E-vil. I like squats.

Good Going!!

This is such an awesome workout. It just takes time. I did the whole workout last night with 5 lb. ankle weights on each leg and it was TOUGH....first time...had been using 2.5lb on each leg like Cathe. However, this is not to say that I get through all the reps like Cathe does. There are a few exercises I stop short by 3 reps or so. And, that squat/lunge segment with no weights. I'm still trying to get all the way doing EVERY single rep.
 
Allison (crazystpper) Has anyone told you, that you resemble Jennifer Aniston?:) I looked at your pic (cute kids and cute DH by the way) and you look so much like her!

Allison (the other Allison),. your wedding pics are beautiful, you look amazing!

Oh, and B&G? Kills me. And I have thighs built like a Mac truck.:D The Leg Blast in particular makes me see little stars around my head towards the end.}(
 
Thanks Tneah!

I just read your comment about my wedding pictures. We had an AWESOME photographer!

Anyways, your comment made my day!:D

Take care,
Alison

Hey Tneah!!! You're so sweet! I just saw your post and I'm blushing!

Actually, I have gotten that comment (about Jennifer Aniston) quite a few times. It's such an honor! Honestly! I'm all giddy now. Thanks for the compliment! (That's how I take it, at least--I think she's pretty;)).

Oh, and those kids are my nieces--and that sexy guy you commented on is my SO. (Hopefully soon to be DH....hehe;))

For those of you who have been doing Butts and Guts faithfully--have you noticed results? If so, how often do you do it? Believe it or not, this is one work-out that I have yet to open!! Crazy, I know. I have been thinking of doing it regularly to get more toned for bathing suit season, and am just wondering what kind of results people have seen. Thanks for any input!

I don't do it regularly enough to "see results" :) but I can vouch for the fact that it is a killer, awesome workout! My lower body does well with low-to-no-weight leg workouts. This one is definetely an endurance workout.
