Hi BFLr's,
I started my first BFL challenge today. I have a few questions I am hoping you can answer.
1. Being a regular Cathe exerciser, I find it hard to believe that working abs only once or twice per week will get results like those shown in the book. Do you all really only do abs when its a lower body day? Also, do you just do the crunches 12 times, 10,8,6,12,12? How does this work for abs since we aren't using weight?
2. Could some of you give me your own poundage that you are using to do the upper and lower body exercises? I did the UB workout this morning and had a hard time knowing if I was hitting an 8.9 or 10 in my intensity level. I am just curious what other regular Cathe gals are doing, to use as a guide.
3. On cardio days, when you incorporate Cathe's interval workouts, are you timing the intensity each minute like Bill says to do, or are the intervals set up by Cathe already so that we are automatically hitting these intensity levels without having to count each minute etc..
4. I am 31, 5'2" and 121 lbs. My goal is to lose body fat AND weight. I would like to get to @108 lbs or so. I am going to be doing his nutrition plan while staying within my weight watchers point range for my weight. Anyone else doing this? Should I be adding in more that three days of cardio for this challenge? What do you all so? I notice some have more cardio and incorporate Cathe cardio that isn't necessarily interval based.
I know these are a lot of questions. Thanks you in advance. I am so confused, but really want to make this work for me. I hope to hear from some of you soon.
Thanks,
Becca
