Girls Gone Strong- Modern Women's Guide to Strength Training on sale

Ok so I just finished wo A and the HIiT was different. I truly didn't get as winded as I do with Cathe. I did 2 songs 3-4 mi each. I pushed 2 15# plates 10-15 yds and then farmers carry: 30#db in each hand down at my sides and walked 20yds then rest 30 sec. I think I did it 3x maybe 4. It was fast and to the point and u just wanted to get it done. Not super fun by any means. I'd like to see what the results will be.

I may want to try STS after this but I'm afraid that all the workouts are 60 min.

Tomorrow will be off. Then I will probably do a similar schedule for next week:
M- wo A
Th-wo B
F- MIC (mod intensity cardio)
Sa- wo A with 6-10 min HiiT. (Today was 45 min but I was interrupted a few times)

Then I'll add in another HiiT for weeks 3&4.

Yes, STS workouts are a bit longer in length, and if your equipment is stored in a closet, like mine are, you have to take into consideration set up and breakdown each day. However, I leave the turbo tower up when I commit to STS.

Looks like a great week ahead, LadyLep! You can do this!
 
Rest day today. Yesterday I did wo B plus 6 min HiiT and I tacked on bicep curl 100 rep challenge with a 25# barbell and today my biceps are SCREAMING! I can't even extend my left arm all the way w/o help of a wall or my other arm! My right is sore too but not as bad. I'm really starting to feel like this wasn't the best purchase. My heart rate only got up a little the last 2 days.

Friday I did MIC mod intensity cardio and it was lame. My heart rate barley got above 100.

I think the 1877 is also too many calories for me. I'm sitting at 176#. Depressing. Can't fit into clothes that I want to...

I am looking forward to ICE!

Ladylep - I think you should e-mail them and explain your dissatisfaction.

I'll be doing the plan in the New Year - I'll report back on what I think (I'll be doing level 4)
 
They recommended I start with level 2. Part of me feel like I should have started with level 3. But I can't even do one proper chin up!
 
LadyLep,

100 rep challenges ought to be done with 30 to 50% of your one rep max, but 40% seems ideal. You have got some power in you!
 
Maybe do level 3, but subbing in an easier exercise for the chin ups. They're something you kind of learn to do, and once you can, you're away!
 
The only way I can do a chin up is when I go to the play found with my kids. I've been looking for a used one unsuccessfully.

I gave up after 3 weeks. I emailed Amber last night and thru the website today asking for a refund. I wonder how long it will take...

Oh, what a shame. I hope your refund is speedy. I'll be starting the programme in the new year, I'll post my thoughts.

She emailed back asking which programs I'd like to be refunded for. I told her everything, MWGST Gold $79 (included the nutrition guide) and the meal plans $20 (add on at the last min and a complete waste!). I wonder how long it will take.

Such a bummer! I hope you get full refund quickly. I was really excited about trying their programs but now a little hesitant. Justine - you will have to let us know what the more advanced levels are like. I'm wondering if these are just to easy for us after doing Cathe's weights and Hiit and more geared to a complete newbie? LadyLep- What are you planning (or doing) instead?
