My idea of horizontal conditioning is watching ESPN in bed! No dread factor there! Good for you that you can make yourself "get er done" !

Justine..I'm glad you mentioned finishers, where do you find those? I ordered the basic package and I'm not sure they are there.I went cheap because I didn't think I would use a lot of the other stuff...my bad? I should be able to make them up; not my first rodeo; but I'm trying to break into the program and get used to it a little. I'm procrastinating today due to LEG DAY but slowly getting up my nerve I am not a big orderer, but was swayed by ya'lls glowing comments and I think I am really gonna like it...once I get used to it, I do think I will need the finishers of some sort as I continue.

Not that I need any more programmes - but do any of you know anything about this?

I notice she's a Girl Gone Strong.....I think it's a KB programme. Sounds quite fun.

Tslop - Nia's finishers were extra. They're good and simple, 10 minute cardio / metabolic 'blasts'. I'm currently using the LWF#2 as finishers - very similar to Nia's, just a little more inventive. Do you have kettlebells? 100 swings with a heavy bell (in 10 sets) is what I turn to when I'm unsure what to try! (I use a 22kg bell - only 5 breaths allowed between sets - it's surprisingly hard.) Or you could jump rope, do burpees etc. It's that sort of stuff that Nia uses. I think its only really necessary if you want to burn fat. The lifting should raise your HR enough for a cardio effect - especially on leg days

I know nothing about it, but... it's very tempting. Love kettlebells, Justine stop. Let me know if you get it. Now, that I have read who does the program. I've seen other "stuff" by her. She's very good.

Thanks Justine..I do have some kbs..50# is my heaviest. I don't want to lose any weight(maybe a little fat) but may do some swings and probably some isolation excercises. Today I finished with some toe raises because it seemed like a leg day and calves seemed slighted. Thanks again!Tslop - Nia's finishers were extra.

I have it, but I have not done it yet. I did her Superheroine program though and I really liked it.
For lean and lovely, there are 3 phases (plus an optional phase at the beginning), 4 weeks each, with 4 workouts (A to D).
According to her manual:
• Days A/B/C start with a TGU and core focus, followed by a strength circuit, and ending in a short metabolic finisher.
• D Day is a complex, meaning you will not put the kettlebell down until you
have completed one full set of all the exercises listed.
Exercises gets difficult in each phase. She mentioned an example for the squat progression:
(Optional Primer Phase): Bodyweight Squat
Phase One: Goblet Squat
Phase Two: Unilateral “Rack” Squat
Phase Three: Bilateral “Rack” Squat OR Barbell Squat
Hope this helps.

Yup, looks like a mandatory purchase. Here we go!!!

I've done a LWF#2 spreadsheet with notes on weights used and brief thoughts on the workouts. I can't upload an excel spreadsheet though - any ideas how to overcome this? Maybe I can attach it in a conversation?
Anyway, let me know if it's of use to anyone. (I wanted something I could tick off, without having to print out the LWF book)

Turns out I can't upload it....so unless anyone knows how I can (.xlsx ) I'm scuppered.
Scuppered, love that word, mind if I use it, Justine?

Yeah, I wanna steal it too. Not fair that those living across the Pond have so many fun words in their daily vocabulary!
Justine, I am a technology troglodyte (my attempt at a fun word) so this might not help you, but I know there are free online programs that allow you to convert from .xlsx to .xls. Just Google it. Can't recommend a specific site since I've never used one. Also found this Microsoft Support Page that might give you answers.

I'm going to use it on the engineers. A word that they have no idea what it means. Score one for my team! They will be the one doing the Googling!! LOL! Good luck finding it!! (I better Google it, make sure it's not there. Damn it is!)
